Jeremiah 1





1. The words <1697> of Jeremiah <3414> the son < 1121> of
Hilkiah <2518>, of the priests <3548> that [were] in Anathoth
<6068> in the land <0776> of Benjamin <1144>:



2 To whom <0834> the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068> came <1961>
in the days <3117> of Josiah <2977> the son < 1121> of Amon
<0526> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, in the thirteenth year
<8141> of his reign <4427>.



3 It came <1961> also in the days <3117> of Jehoiakim <3079>
the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>,
unto the end <8537> of the eleventh year <8141> of Zedekiah
<6667> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king < 4428> of Judah
<3063>, unto the carrying <1540> away of Jerusalem <3389>
captive <1540> in the fifth <2549> month <2320>.



4. Then the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came < 1961> unto me,
saying <0559>,



5 Before <2962> I formed <3335> thee in the belly <0990> I knew
<3045> thee; and before <2962> thou camest < 3318> forth <3318>
out of the womb <7358> I sanctified <6942> thee, [and] I
ordained <5414> thee a prophet <5030> unto the nations <1471>.



6 Then said <0559> I, Ah <0162>, Lord <0136> GOD <3069>! behold
<2009>, I cannot <3808> speak <1696>: for I [am] a child <5288>.



7 But the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Say < 0559> not, I
[am] a child <5288>: for thou shalt go <3212> to all <3605> that
I shall send <7971> thee, and whatsoever I command < 6680> thee
thou shalt speak <1696>.



8 Be not afraid <3372> of their faces <6440>: for I [am] with
thee to deliver <5337> thee, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



9 Then the LORD <3068> put <7971> forth <7971> his hand <3027>,
and touched <5060> my mouth <6310>. And the LORD < 3068> said
<0559> unto me, Behold <2009>, I have put <5414> my words <1697>
in thy mouth <6310>.



10 See <7200>, I have this <2088> day <3117> set <6485> thee
over <5921> the nations <1471> and over <5921> the kingdoms
<4467>, to root <5428> out, and to pull <5422> down, and to
destroy <6>, and to throw <2040> down <2040>, to build <1129>,
and to plant <5193>.



11. Moreover the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961>
unto me, saying <0559>, Jeremiah <3414>, what < 4100> seest
<7200> thou? And I said <0559>, I see <7200> a rod <4731> of an
almond <8247> tree.



12 Then said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me, Thou hast well
<3190> seen <7200>: for I will hasten <8245> my word <1697> to
perform <6213> it.



13 And the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came < 1961> unto me
the second <8145> time, saying <0559>, What < 4100> seest <7200>
thou? And I said <0559>, I see <7200> a seething < 5301> pot
<5518>; and the face <6440> thereof [is] toward < 6440> the north
<6828>.



14 Then the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Out of the north
<6828> an evil <7451> shall break <6605> forth upon all <3605>
the inhabitants <3427> of the land <0776>.



15 For, lo <2009>, I will call <7121> all < 3605> the families
<4940> of the kingdoms <4467> of the north < 6828>, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>; and they shall come <0935>, and they shall set
<5414> every <0376> one <0376> his throne < 3678> at the entering
<6607> of the gates <8179> of Jerusalem <3389>, and against
<5921> all <3605> the walls <2346> thereof round <5439> about,
and against <5921> all <3605> the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>.



16 And I will utter <1696> my judgments <4941> against <5921>
them touching <5921> all <3605> their wickedness < 7451>, who
have forsaken <5800> me, and have burned <6999> incense <6999>
unto other <0312> gods <0430>, and worshipped < 7812> the works
<4639> of their own <0249> hands <3027>.



17 Thou therefore gird <2296> up thy loins <4975>, and arise
<6965>, and speak <1696> unto them all <3605> that I command
<6680> thee: be not dismayed <2865> at their faces <6440>, lest
<6435> I confound <2865> thee before <6440> them.



18 For, behold <2009>, I have made <5414> thee this day <3117>
a defenced <4013> city <5892>, and an iron < 1270> pillar <5982>,
and brasen <5178> walls <2346> against <5921> the whole <3605>
land <0776>, against the kings <4428> of Judah < 3063>, against
the princes <8269> thereof, against the priests <3548> thereof,
and against the people <5971> of the land <0776>.



19 And they shall fight <3898> against <0413> thee; but they
shall not prevail <3201> against thee; for I [am] with thee,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, to deliver <5337> thee.



Jeremiah 2



1. Moreover the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> to
me, saying <0559>,



2 Go <1980> and cry <7121> in the ears <0241> of Jerusalem
<3389>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith < 0559> the LORD <3068>;
I remember <2142> thee, the kindness <2617> of thy youth <5271>,
the love <0160> of thine espousals <3623>, when thou wentest
<3212> after <0310> me in the wilderness <4057>, in a land
<0776> [that was] not sown <2232>.



3 Israel <3478> [was] holiness <6944> unto the LORD <3068>,
[and] the firstfruits <7225> of his increase <8393>: all <3605>
that devour <0398> him shall offend <0816>; evil < 7451> shall
come <0935> upon them, saith <5002> the LORD < 3068>.



4 Hear <8085> ye the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068>, O house
<1004> of Jacob <3290>, and all <3605> the families <4940> of
the house <1004> of Israel <3478>:



5 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, What <4100>
iniquity <5766> have your fathers <1> found < 4672> in me, that
they are gone far <7368> from me, and have walked < 3212> after
<0310> vanity <1892>, and are become <1891> vain <1891>?



6 Neither <3808> said <0559> they, Where <0346> [is] the LORD
<3068> that brought <5927> us up out of the land < 0776> of Egypt
<4714>, that led <3212> us through the wilderness < 4057>,
through a land <0776> of deserts <6160> and of pits <7745>,
through a land <0776> of drought <6723>, and of the shadow
<6757> of death <6757>, through a land <0776> that no <3808> man
<0376> passed <5674> through, and where <8033> no <3808> man
<0120> dwelt <3427>?



7 And I brought <0935> you into <0413> a plentiful <3759>
country <0776>, to eat <0398> the fruit <6529> thereof and the
goodness <2898> thereof; but when ye entered <0935>, ye defiled
<2930> my land <0776>, and made <7760> mine heritage <5159> an
abomination <8441>.



8 The priests <3548> said <0559> not, Where < 0346> [is] the
LORD <3068>? and they that handle <8610> the law < 8451> knew
<3045> me not: the pastors <7462> also transgressed <6586>
against me, and the prophets <5030> prophesied <5012> by Baal
<1168>, and walked <1980> after <0310> [things that] do not
profit <3276>.



9. Wherefore <3651> I will yet <5750> plead < 7378> with you,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and with your children's <1121>
children <1121> will I plead <7378>.



10 For pass <5674> over <5674> the isles <0339> of Chittim
<3794>, and see <7200>; and send <7971> unto Kedar <6938>, and
consider <0995> diligently <3966>, and see < 7200> if there be
such <2063> a thing.



11 Hath a nation <1471> changed <4171> [their] gods <0430>,
which <1992> [are] yet no <3808> gods <0430>? but my people
<5971> have changed <4171> their glory <3519> for [that which
<1992>] doth not profit <3276>.



12 Be astonished <8074>, O ye heavens <8064>, at < 5921> this
<2063>, and be horribly <8175> afraid <8175>, be ye very <3966>
desolate <2717>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



13 For my people <5971> have committed <6213> two <8147> evils
<7451>; they have forsaken <5800> me the fountain < 4726> of
living <2416> waters <4325>, [and] hewed <2672> them out
cisterns <0877>, broken <7665> cisterns <0877>, that can hold
<3557> no <3808> water <4325>.



14. [Is] Israel <3478> a servant <5650>? [is] he a homeborn
<1004> [slave]? why <4069> is he spoiled <0957>?



15 The young <3715> lions <3715> roared <7580> upon him, [and]
yelled, and they made <7896> his land <0776> waste <8047>: his
cities <5892> are burned <3341> without <1097> inhabitant <3427>.



16 Also <1571> the children <1121> of Noph < 5297> and Tahapanes
<8471> have broken <7462> the crown <6936> of thy head <6936>.



17 Hast thou not procured <6213> this <2063> unto thyself, in
that thou hast forsaken <5800> the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>,
when <6256> he led <3212> thee by the way <1870> ?



18 And now <6258> what <4100> hast thou to do in the way <1870>
of Egypt <4714>, to drink <8354> the waters < 4325> of Sihor
<7883>? or what <4100> hast thou to do in the way < 1870> of
Assyria <0804>, to drink <8354> the waters < 4325> of the river
<5104>?



19 Thine own wickedness <7451> shall correct <3256> thee, and
thy backslidings <4878> shall reprove <3198> thee: know <3045>
therefore and see <7200> that [it is] an evil <7451> [thing] and
bitter <4751>, that thou hast forsaken <5800> the LORD <3068>
thy God <0430>, and that my fear <6345> [is] not in thee, saith
<5002> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts < 6635>.



20. For of old <5769> time I have broken <7665> thy yoke <5923>,
[and] burst <5423> thy bands <4147>; and thou saidst <0559>, I
will not transgress <5647>; when <3588> upon every <3605> high
<1364> hill <1389> and under <8478> every < 3605> green <7488>
tree <6086> thou wanderest <6808>, playing the harlot <2181>.



21 Yet I had planted <5193> thee a noble vine <8321>, wholly
<3605> a right <0571> seed <2233>: how < 0349> then art thou
turned <2015> into the degenerate <5494> plant of a strange
<5237> vine <1612> unto me?



22 For though <0518> thou wash <3526> thee with nitre <5427>,
and take thee much <7235> soap <1287>, [yet] thine iniquity
<5771> is marked <3799> before <6440> me, saith <5002> the Lord
<0136> GOD <3069>.



23 How <0349> canst thou say <0559>, I am not polluted <2930>,
I have not gone <1980> after <0310> Baalim < 1168>? see <7200>
thy way <1870> in the valley <1516>, know <3045> what <4100>
thou hast done <6213>: [thou art] a swift <7031> dromedary
<1072> traversing <8308> her ways <1870>;



24 A wild <6501> ass <6501> used <3928> to the wilderness
<4057>, [that] snuffeth <7602> up the wind < 7307> at her
pleasure; in her occasion <8385> who <4310> can turn <7725> her
away? all <3605> they that seek <1245> her will not weary <3286>
themselves; in her month <2320> they shall find <4672> her.



25 Withhold <4513> thy foot <7272> from being unshod <3182>,
and thy throat <1627> from thirst <6773>: but thou saidst <0559>,
There is no hope <2976>: no <3808>; for I have loved <0157>
strangers <2114>, and after <0310> them will I go < 3212>.



26 As the thief <1590> is ashamed <1322> when < 3588> he is
found <4672>, so <3651> is the house <1004> of Israel <3478>
ashamed <0954>; they, their kings <4428>, their princes <8269>,
and their priests <3548>, and their prophets <5030>,



27 Saying <0559> to a stock <6086>, Thou [art] my father <1>;
and to a stone <68>, Thou hast brought <3205> me forth <3205>:
for they have turned <6437> [their] back <6203> unto me, and not
[their] face <6440>: but in the time <6256> of their trouble
<7451> they will say <0559>, Arise <6965>, and save <3467> us.



28 But where <0346> [are] thy gods <0430> that thou hast made
<6213> thee? let them arise <6965>, if they can save <3467> thee
in the time <6256> of thy trouble <7451>: for [according to] the
number <4557> of thy cities <5892> are thy gods < 0430>, O Judah
<3063>.



29. Wherefore <4100> will ye plead <7378> with me? ye all
<3605> have transgressed <6586> against me, saith < 5002> the
LORD <3068>.



30 In vain <7723> have I smitten <5221> your children <1121>;
they received <3947> no <3808> correction <4148> : your own sword
<2719> hath devoured <0398> your prophets <5030> , like a
destroying <7843> lion <0738>.



31 O generation <1755>, see <7200> ye the word < 1697> of the
LORD <3068>. Have I been <1961> a wilderness < 4057> unto Israel
<3478>? a land <0776> of darkness <3991>? wherefore <4069> say
<0559> my people <5971>, We are lords <7300>; we will come
<0935> no <3808> more <5750> unto thee?



32 Can a maid <1330> forget <7911> her ornaments < 5716>, [or] a
bride <3618> her attire <7196>? yet my people < 5971> have
forgotten <7911> me days <3117> without <0369> number <4557>.



33 Why <4100> trimmest <3190> thou thy way < 1870> to seek
<1245> love <0160>? therefore <3651> hast thou also <1571>
taught <3925> the wicked <7451> ones thy ways < 1870>.



34 Also <1571> in thy skirts <3671> is found < 4672> the blood
<1818> of the souls <5315> of the poor <34> innocents <5355>: I
have not found <4672> it by secret <5643> search < 4290>, but
upon all <3605> these <0428>.



35 Yet thou sayest <0559>, Because <3588> I am innocent <5352>,
surely <0389> his anger <0639> shall turn <7725> from me. Behold
<2005>, I will plead <8199> with thee, because < 5921> thou
sayest <0559>, I have not sinned <2398>.



36 Why <4100> gaddest <0235> thou about <0235> so much <3966>
to change <8138> thy way <1870>? thou also < 1571> shalt be
ashamed <0954> of Egypt <4714>, as thou wast ashamed <0954> of
Assyria <0804>.



37 Yea <1571>, thou shalt go <3318> forth < 3318> from him, and
thine hands <3027> upon thine head <7218>: for the LORD <3068>
hath rejected <3988> thy confidences <4009>, and thou shalt not
prosper <6743> in them.



Jeremiah 3



1. They say <0559>, If a man <0376> put <7971> away his wife
<0802>, and she go <1980> from him, and become < 1961> another
<0312> man's <0376>, shall he return <7725> unto her again
<5750>? shall not that land <0776> be greatly polluted <2610>?
but thou hast played the harlot <2181> with many < 7227> lovers
<7453>; yet return <7725> again to me, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>.



2 Lift <5375> up thine eyes <5869> unto the high < 8205> places,
and see <7200> where <0375> thou hast not been lien <7693> with.
In the ways <1870> hast thou sat <3427> for them, as the Arabian
<6163> in the wilderness <4057>; and thou hast polluted <2610>
the land <0776> with thy whoredoms <2184> and with thy
wickedness <7451>.



3 Therefore the showers <7241> have been withholden < 4513>, and
there hath been <1961> no <3808> latter <4456> rain <4456>; and
thou hadst a whore's <2181> forehead <4696>, thou refusedst
<3985> to be ashamed <3637>.



4 Wilt thou not from this time <6258> cry <7121> unto me, My
father <1>, thou [art] the guide <0441> of my youth <5271>?



5 Will he reserve <5201> [his anger] for ever? will he keep
<8104> [it] to the end <5331>? Behold <2009>, thou hast spoken
<1696> and done <6213> evil <7451> things as thou couldest
<3201>.



6. The LORD <3068> said <0559> also unto me in the days <3117>
of Josiah <2977> the king <4428>, Hast thou seen < 7200> [that]
which <0834> backsliding <4878> Israel <3478> hath done <6213>?
she is gone <1980> up upon every <3605> high < 1364> mountain
<2022> and under every <3605> green <7488> tree <6086>, and
there <8033> hath played the harlot <2181>.



7 And I said <0559> after <0310> she had done < 6213> all <3605>
these <0428> [things], Turn <7725> thou unto me. But she
returned <7725> not. And her treacherous <0901> sister <0269>
Judah <3063> saw <7200> [it].



8 And I saw <7200>, when <3588> for all <3605> the causes
<0182> whereby <0834> backsliding <4878> Israel <3478> committed
<5003> adultery <5003> I had put <7971> her away, and given
<5414> her a bill <5612> of divorce <3748>; yet her treacherous
<0898> sister <0269> Judah <3063> feared < 3372> not, but went
<3212> and played the harlot <2181> also <1571>.



9 And it came <1961> to pass through the lightness < 6963> of
her whoredom <2184>, that she defiled <2610> the land <0776>,
and committed <5003> adultery <5003> with stones < 68> and with
stocks <6086>.



10 And yet for all <3605> this <2063> her treacherous <0901>
sister <0269> Judah <3063> hath not turned < 7725> unto me with
her whole <3605> heart <3820>, but feignedly < 8267>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>.



11 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, The backsliding
<4878> Israel <3478> hath justified <6663> herself more than
treacherous <0898> Judah <3063>.



12. Go <1980> and proclaim <7121> these <0428> words <1697>
toward the north <6828>, and say <0559>, Return < 7725>, thou
backsliding <4878> Israel <3478>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>;
[and] I will not cause mine anger <6440> to fall < 5307> upon you:
for I [am] merciful <2623>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, [and]
I will not keep <5201> [anger] for ever <5769>.



13 Only <0389> acknowledge <3045> thine iniquity < 5771>, that
thou hast transgressed <6586> against the LORD <3068> thy God
<0430>, and hast scattered <6340> thy ways < 1870> to the
strangers <2114> under <8478> every <3605> green <7488> tree
<6086>, and ye have not obeyed <8085> my voice < 6963>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>.



14 Turn <7725>, O backsliding <7726> children < 1121>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>; for I am married <1166> unto you: and I
will take <3947> you one <0259> of a city <5892> , and two <8147>
of a family <4940>, and I will bring <0935> you to Zion <6726>:



15 And I will give <5414> you pastors <7462> according to mine
heart <3820>, which shall feed <7462> you with knowledge <1844>
and understanding <7919>.



16 And it shall come <1961> to pass, when <3588> ye be
multiplied <7235> and increased <6509> in the land <0776>, in
those <1992> days <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, they
shall say <0559> no <3808> more <5750>, The ark <0727> of the
covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068>: neither < 3808> shall it come
<5927> to mind <3820>: neither <3808> shall they remember <2142>
it; neither <3808> shall they visit <6485> [it]; neither <3808>
shall [that] be done <6213> any more <5750>.



17 At that time <6256> they shall call <7121> Jerusalem <3389>
the throne <3678> of the LORD <3068>; and all < 3605> the nations
<1471> shall be gathered <6960> unto it, to the name <8034> of
the LORD <3068>, to Jerusalem <3389>: neither < 3808> shall they
walk <3212> any more <5750> after <0310> the imagination <8307>
of their evil <7451> heart <3820>.



18 In those <1992> days <3117> the house <1004> of Judah <3063>
shall walk <3212> with the house <1004> of Israel < 3478>, and
they shall come <0935> together <3162> out of the land <0776> of
the north <6828> to the land <0776> that I have given for an
inheritance <5157> unto your fathers <1>.



19 But I said <0559>, How <0349> shall I put < 7896> thee among
the children <1121>, and give <5414> thee a pleasant <2532> land
<0776>, a goodly <6643> heritage <5159> of the hosts <6635> of
nations <1471>? and I said <0559>, Thou shalt call <7121> me, My
father <1>; and shalt not turn <7725> away from me.



20. Surely <0403> [as] a wife <0802> treacherously <0898>
departeth from her husband <1167>, so <3651> have ye dealt
treacherously <0898> with me, O house <1004> of Israel <3478>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



21 A voice <6963> was heard <8085> upon the high < 8205> places,
weeping <1065> [and] supplications <8469> of the children <1121>
of Israel <3478>: for they have perverted <5753> their way
<1870>, [and] they have forgotten <7911> the LORD < 3068> their
God <0430>.



22 Return <7725>, ye backsliding <7726> children < 1121>, [and]
I will heal <7495> your backslidings <4878>. Behold <2005>, we
come <0857> unto thee; for thou [art] the LORD <3068> our God
<0430>.



23 Truly <0403> in vain <8267> [is salvation hoped for] from
the hills <1389>, [and from] the multitude <1995> of mountains
<2022>: truly <0403> in the LORD <3068> our God <0430> [is] the
salvation <8668> of Israel <3478>.



24 For shame <1322> hath devoured <0398> the labour <3018> of
our fathers <1> from our youth <5271>; their flocks <6629> and
their herds <1241>, their sons <1121> and their daughters <1121>.



25 We lie <7901> down <7901> in our shame < 1322>, and our
confusion <3639> covereth <3680> us: for we have sinned <2398>
against the LORD <3068> our God <0430>, we and our fathers <1>,
from our youth <5271> even unto this <2088> day < 3117>, and have
not obeyed <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD < 3068> our God
<0430>.



Jeremiah 4



1. If <0518> thou wilt return <7725>, O Israel < 3478>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, return <7725> unto me: and if thou wilt
put <5493> away <5493> thine abominations <8251> out of my sight
<6440>, then shalt thou not remove <5110>.



2 And thou shalt swear <7650>, The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>,
in truth <0571>, in judgment <4941>, and in righteousness <6666>;
and the nations <1471> shall bless <1288> themselves in him,
and in him shall they glory <1984>.



3. For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> to the men
<0376> of Judah <3063> and Jerusalem <3389>, Break <5214> up
your fallow <5215> ground, and sow <2232> not among <0413>
thorns <6975>.



4 Circumcise <4135> yourselves to the LORD <3068>, and take
<5493> away <5493> the foreskins <6190> of your heart <3824>, ye
men <0376> of Judah <3063> and inhabitants < 3427> of Jerusalem
<3389>: lest <6435> my fury <2534> come < 3318> forth <3318> like
fire <0784>, and burn <1197> that none <0369> can quench <3518>
[it], because <6440> of the evil <7451> of your doings <4611>.



5. Declare <5046> ye in Judah <3063>, and publish <8085> in
Jerusalem <3389>; and say <0559>, Blow <8628> ye the trumpet
<7782> in the land <0776>: cry <7121>, gather <4390> together,
and say <0559>, Assemble <0622> yourselves, and let us go <0935>
into <0413> the defenced <4013> cities <5892>.



6 Set <5375> up the standard <5251> toward Zion < 6726>: retire
<5756>, stay <5975> not: for I will bring <0935> evil <7451>
from the north <6828>, and a great <1419> destruction <7667>.



7 The lion <0738> is come <5927> up from his thicket <5441>,
and the destroyer <7843> of the Gentiles <1471> is on his way
<5265>; he is gone <3318> forth <3318> from his place <4725> to
make <7760> thy land <0776> desolate <8047>; [and] thy cities
<5892> shall be laid waste <5327>, without < 0369> an inhabitant
<3427>.



8 For this <2063> gird <2296> you with sackcloth < 8242>, lament
<5594> and howl <3213>: for the fierce <2740> anger <0639> of
the LORD <3068> is not turned <7725> back <7725> from us.



9 And it shall come <1961> to pass at that day <3117> , saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, [that] the heart <3820> of the king
<4428> shall perish <6>, and the heart <3820> of the princes
<8269>; and the priests <3548> shall be astonished <8074>, and
the prophets <5030> shall wonder <8539>.



10 Then said <0559> I, Ah <0162>, Lord <0136> GOD <3069>!
surely <0403> thou hast greatly deceived <5377> this <2088>
people <5971> and Jerusalem <3389>, saying < 0559>, Ye shall have
<1961> peace <7965>; whereas the sword <2719> reacheth <5060>
unto the soul <5315>.



11 At that time <6256> shall it be said <0559> to this <2088>
people <5971> and to Jerusalem <3389>, A dry < 6703> wind <7307>
of the high <8205> places in the wilderness <4057> toward the
daughter <1323> of my people <5971>, not to fan < 2219>, nor
<3808> to cleanse <1305>,



12 [Even] a full <4392> wind <7307> from those < 0428> [places]
shall come <0935> unto me: now <6258> also < 1571> will I give
<1696> sentence <4941> against them.



13 Behold <2009>, he shall come <5927> up as clouds <6053>, and
his chariots <4818> [shall be] as a whirlwind <5492>: his horses
<5483> are swifter <7043> than eagles <5404>. Woe <0188> unto us!
for we are spoiled <7703>.



14 O Jerusalem <3389>, wash <3526> thine heart < 3820> from
wickedness <7451>, that thou mayest be saved <3467>. How <5704>
long <5704> shall thy vain <0205> thoughts < 4284> lodge <3885>
within <7130> thee?



15 For a voice <6963> declareth <5046> from Dan < 1835>, and
publisheth <8085> affliction <0205> from mount < 2022> Ephraim
<0669>.



16 Make ye mention <2142> to the nations <1471>; behold <2009>,
publish <8085> against <5921> Jerusalem <3389>, [that] watchers
<5341> come <0935> from a far <4801> country <0776>, and give
<5414> out their voice <6963> against <5921> the cities <5892>
of Judah <3063>.



17 As keepers <8104> of a field <7704>, are they against <5921>
her round <5439> about; because <3588> she hath been rebellious
<4784> against me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



18 Thy way <1870> and thy doings <4611> have procured <6213>
these <0428> [things] unto thee; this <2063> [is] thy wickedness
<7451>, because <3588> it is bitter <4751>, because <3588> it
reacheth <5060> unto thine heart <3820>.



19. My bowels <4578>, my bowels <4578>! I am pained <3176> at
my very <7023> heart <3820>; my heart <3820> maketh a noise
<1993> in me; I cannot <3808> hold <2790> my peace <2790>,
because <3588> thou hast heard <8085>, O my soul < 5315>, the
sound <6963> of the trumpet <7782>, the alarm < 8643> of war
<4421>.



20 Destruction <7667> upon destruction <7667> is cried <7121>;
for the whole <3605> land <0776> is spoiled < 7703>: suddenly
<6597> are my tents <0168> spoiled <7703>, [and] my curtains
<3407> in a moment <7281>.



21 How <5704> long <5704> shall I see <7200> the standard
<5251>, [and] hear <8085> the sound <6963> of the trumpet <7782>?



22 For my people <5971> [is] foolish <0191>, they have not
known <3045> me; they [are] sottish <5530> children <1121>, and
they have none <3808> understanding <0995>: they [are] wise
<2450> to do evil <7489>, but to do good <3190> they have no
<3808> knowledge <3045>.



23 I beheld <7200> the earth <0776>, and, lo < 2009>, [it was]
without <8414> form <8414>, and void <0922>; and the heavens
<8064>, and they [had] no <0369> light <0216>.



24 I beheld <7200> the mountains <2022>, and, lo < 2009>, they
trembled <7493>, and all <3605> the hills <1389> moved <7043>
lightly <7043>.



25 I beheld <7200>, and, lo <2009>, [there was] no <0369> man
<0120>, and all <3605> the birds <5775> of the heavens <8064>
were fled <5074>.



26 I beheld <7200>, and, lo <2009>, the fruitful < 3759> place
[was] a wilderness <4057>, and all <3605> the cities <5892>
thereof were broken <5422> down <5422> at the presence <6440> of
the LORD <3068>, [and] by his fierce <2740> anger < 0639>.



27 For thus <3541> hath the LORD <3068> said < 0559>, The whole
<3605> land <0776> shall be desolate <8077>; yet will I not make
<6213> a full end <3615>.



28 For this <2063> shall the earth <0776> mourn < 56>, and the
heavens <8064> above <4605> be black <6937>: because I have
spoken <1696> [it], I have purposed <2161> [it], and will not
repent <5162>, neither <3808> will I turn <7725> back <7725>
from it.



29 The whole <3605> city <5892> shall flee < 1272> for the noise
<6963> of the horsemen <6571> and bowmen; they shall go <0935>
into thickets <5645>, and climb <5927> up upon the rocks <3710>:
every <3605> city <5892> [shall be] forsaken < 5800>, and not a
man <0376> dwell <3427> therein <2004>.



30 And [when] thou [art] spoiled <7703>, what <4100> wilt thou
do <6213>? Though <3588> thou clothest <3847> thyself with
crimson <8144>, though <3588> thou deckest < 5710> thee with
ornaments <5716> of gold <2091>, though <3588> thou rentest
<7167> thy face <5869> with painting <6320>, in vain <7723>
shalt thou make thyself fair <3302>; [thy] lovers < 5689> will
despise <3988> thee, they will seek <1245> thy life <5315>.



31 For I have heard <8085> a voice <6963> as of a woman in
travail <2470>, [and] the anguish <6869> as of her that bringeth
<1069> forth her first <1069> child, the voice < 6963> of the
daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>, [that] bewaileth < 3306> herself,
[that] spreadeth <6566> her hands <3709>, [saying], Woe <0188>
[is] me now <4994>! for my soul <5315> is wearied < 5888> because
of murderers <2026>.



Jeremiah 5



1. Run <7751> ye to and fro <7751> through the streets <2351>
of Jerusalem <3389>, and see <7200> now <4994>, and know <3045>,
and seek <1245> in the broad <7339> places thereof, if <0518> ye
can find <4672> a man <0376>, if <0518> there be [any] that
executeth <6213> judgment <4941>, that seeketh < 1245> the truth
<0530>; and I will pardon <5545> it.



2 And though <0518> they say <0559>, The LORD < 3068> liveth
<2416>; surely <0403> they swear <7650> falsely <8267>.



3 O LORD <3068>, [are] not thine eyes <5869> upon the truth
<0530>? thou hast stricken <5221> them, but they have not
grieved <2342>; thou hast consumed <3615> them, [but] they have
refused <3985> to receive <3947> correction < 4148>: they have
made their faces <6440> harder <2388> than a rock < 5553>; they
have refused <3985> to return <7725>.



4 Therefore I said <0559>, Surely <0389> these < 1992> [are]
poor <1800>; they are foolish <2973>: for they know <3045> not
the way <1870> of the LORD <3068>, [nor] the judgment <4941> of
their God <0430>.



5 I will get <3212> me unto the great <1419> men, and will
speak <1696> unto them; for they have known <3045> the way
<1870> of the LORD <3068>, [and] the judgment < 4941> of their
God <0430>: but these <1992> have altogether < 3162> broken
<7665> the yoke <5923>, [and] burst <5423> the bonds <4147>.



6 Wherefore a lion <0738> out of the forest <3293> shall slay
<5221> them, [and] a wolf <2061> of the evenings < 6160> shall
spoil <7703> them, a leopard <5246> shall watch < 8245> over
<5921> their cities <5892>: every one that goeth < 3318> out
thence <2007> shall be torn <2963> in pieces: because <3588>
their transgressions <6588> are many <7231>, [and] their
backslidings <4878> are increased <6105>.



7 How <0335> shall I pardon <5545> thee for this < 2063>? thy
children <1121> have forsaken <5800> me, and sworn <7650> by
[them that are] no <3808> gods <0430>: when I had fed them to
the full <7646>, they then committed <5003> adultery <5003>, and
assembled <1413> themselves by troops in the harlots < 2181>'
houses <1004>.



8 They were [as] fed <2109> horses <5483> in the morning <7904>:
every <0376> one <0376> neighed <6670> after <0413> his
neighbour's <7453> wife <0802>.



9 Shall I not visit <6485> for these <0428> [things]? saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>: and shall not my soul < 5315> be avenged
<5358> on such <0834> a nation <1471> as this <2088>?



10. Go <5927> ye up upon her walls <8284>, and destroy <7843>;
but make <6213> not a full end <3615>: take < 5493> away <5493>
her battlements <5189>; for they [are] not the LORD'S < 3068>.



11 For the house <1004> of Israel <3478> and the house <1004>
of Judah <3063> have dealt very treacherously <0898> against me,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



12 They have belied <3584> the LORD <3068>, and said <0559>,
[It is] not he; neither <3808> shall evil <7451> come <0935>
upon us; neither <3808> shall we see <7200> sword < 2719> nor
famine <7458>:



13 And the prophets <5030> shall become <1961> wind <7307>, and
the word <1699> [is] not in them: thus <3541> shall it be done
<6213> unto them.



14 Wherefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>
God <0430> of hosts <6635>, Because <3282> ye speak <1696> this
<2088> word <1697>, behold <2005>, I will make <5414> my words
<1697> in thy mouth <6310> fire <0784>, and this <2088> people
<5971> wood <6086>, and it shall devour <0398> them.



15 Lo <2009>, I will bring <0935> a nation < 1471> upon you from
far <4801>, O house <1004> of Israel <3478>, saith <5002> the
LORD <3068>: it [is] a mighty <0386> nation < 1471>, it [is] an
ancient <5769> nation <1471>, a nation <1471> whose language
<3956> thou knowest <3045> not, neither <3808> understandest
<8085> what <4100> they say <1696>.



16 Their quiver <0827> [is] as an open <6605> sepulchre <6913>,
they [are] all <3605> mighty <1368> men.



17 And they shall eat <0398> up thine harvest <7105>, and thy
bread <3899>, [which] thy sons <1121> and thy daughters <1121>
should eat <0398>: they shall eat <0398> up thy flocks <6629>
and thine herds <1241>: they shall eat <0398> up thy vines
<1612> and thy fig <8384> trees: they shall impoverish <7567>
thy fenced <4013> cities <5892>, wherein <0834> thou trustedst
<0982>, with the sword <2719>.



18 Nevertheless <1571> in those <1992> days < 3117>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, I will not make <6213> a full end <3615>
with you.



19 And it shall come <1961> to pass, when <3588> ye shall say
<0559>, Wherefore doeth <6213> the LORD <3068> our God <0430>
all <3605> these <0428> [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer
<0559> them, Like as ye have forsaken <5800> me, and served
<5647> strange <5236> gods <0430> in your land <0776>, so <3651>
shall ye serve <5647> strangers <2114> in a land < 0776> [that
is] not yours.



20. Declare <5046> this <2063> in the house < 1004> of Jacob
<3290>, and publish <8085> it in Judah <3063>, saying <0559>,



21 Hear <8085> now <4994> this <2063>, O foolish <5530> people
<5971>, and without <0369> understanding <3820>; which have eyes
<5869>, and see <7200> not; which have ears < 0241>, and hear
<8085> not:



22 Fear <3372> ye not me? saith <5002> the LORD < 3068>: will ye
not tremble <2342> at my presence <6440>, which < 0834> have
placed <0776> the sand <2344> [for] the bound < 1366> of the sea
<3220> by a perpetual <5769> decree <2706>, that it cannot
<3201> pass <5674> it: and though the waves < 1530> thereof toss
<1607> themselves, yet can they not prevail <3201>; though they
roar <1993>, yet can <3201> they not pass <5674> over <5674> it?



23 But this <2088> people <5971> hath a revolting <5637> and a
rebellious <4784> heart <3820>; they are revolted < 5498> and
gone <3212>.



24 Neither <3808> say <0559> they in their heart < 3824>, Let us
now <4994> fear <3372> the LORD <3068> our God <0430>, that
giveth <5414> rain <1653>, both the former < 3138> and the latter
<4456>, in his season <6256>: he reserveth < 8104> unto us the
appointed <2708> weeks <7620> of the harvest < 7105>.



25. Your iniquities <5771> have turned <5186> away these <0428>
[things], and your sins <2403> have withholden <4513> good
<2896> [things] from you.



26 For among my people <5971> are found <4672> wicked <7563>
[men]: they lay wait <7789>, as he that setteth <7918> snares
<3353>; they set <5324> a trap <4889>, they catch <3920> men
<0582>.



27 As a cage <3619> is full <4392> of birds < 5775>, so <3651>
[are] their houses <1004> full <4392> of deceit < 4820>:
therefore they are become <6238> great <1431>, and waxen rich
<6238>.



28 They are waxen fat <8080>, they shine <6245>: yea <1571>,
they overpass <5674> the deeds <1697> of the wicked <7451>: they
judge <1777> not the cause <1779>, the cause of the fatherless
<3490>, yet they prosper <6743>; and the right < 4941> of the
needy <34> do they not judge <8199>.



29 Shall I not visit <6485> for these <0428> [things]? saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>: shall not my soul <5315> be avenged
<5358> on such <0834> a nation <1471> as this?



30 A wonderful <8047> and horrible <8186> thing is committed
<1961> in the land <0776>;



31 The prophets <5030> prophesy <5012> falsely < 8267>, and the
priests <3548> bear <7287> rule <7287> by their means <3027>;
and my people <5971> love <0157> [to have it] so < 3651>: and
what <4100> will ye do <6213> in the end <0319> thereof?



Jeremiah 6



1. O ye children <1121> of Benjamin <1144>, gather <5756>
yourselves to flee <5756> out of the midst <7130> of Jerusalem
<3389>, and blow <8628> the trumpet <7782> in Tekoa <8620>, and
set <5375> up a sign <4864> of fire in Bethhaccerem <1021>: for
evil <7451> appeareth <8259> out of the north < 6828>, and great
<1419> destruction <7667>.



2 I have likened <1819> the daughter <1323> of Zion <6726> to a
comely <5000> and delicate <6026> [woman].



3 The shepherds <7462> with their flocks <5739> shall come
<0935> unto her; they shall pitch <8628> [their] tents <0168>
against <5921> her round <5439> about; they shall feed <7462>
every <0376> one <0376> in his place <3027>.



4 Prepare <6942> ye war <4421> against <5921> her; arise <6965>,
and let us go <5927> up at noon <6672>. Woe < 0188> unto us! for
the day <3117> goeth <6437> away, for the shadows < 6752> of the
evening <6153> are stretched <5186> out.



5 Arise <6965>, and let us go <5927> by night < 3915>, and let
us destroy <7843> her palaces <0759>.



6 For thus <3541> hath the LORD <3068> of hosts < 6635> said
<0559>, Hew <3772> ye down trees <6097>, and cast <8210> a mount
<5550> against <5921> Jerusalem <3389>: this <1931> [is] the
city <5892> to be visited <6485>; she [is] wholly < 3605>
oppression <6233> in the midst <7130> of her.



7 As a fountain <0953> casteth <6979> out her waters <4325>, so
<3651> she casteth <6979> out her wickedness < 7451>: violence
<2555> and spoil <7701> is heard <8085> in her; before me
continually <8548> [is] grief <2483> and wounds < 4347>.



8 Be thou instructed <3256>, O Jerusalem <3389>, lest <6435> my
soul <5315> depart <3363> from thee; lest <6435> I make <7760>
thee desolate <8077>, a land <0776> not inhabited < 3427>.



9. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
They shall throughly glean <5953> the remnant <7611> of Israel
<3478> as a vine <1612>: turn <7725> back < 7725> thine hand
<3027> as a grapegatherer <1219> into <5921> the baskets <5552>.



10 To whom <4310> shall I speak <1696>, and give warning <5749>,
that they may hear <8085>? behold <2009>, their ear <0241> [is]
uncircumcised <6189>, and they cannot hearken <7181>: behold
<2009>, the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> is unto them a
reproach <2781>; they have no <3808> delight < 2654> in it.



11 Therefore I am full <4392> of the fury <2534> of the LORD
<3068>; I am weary <3811> with holding <3557> in: I will pour
<8210> it out upon the children <5768> abroad < 2351>, and upon
the assembly <5475> of young <0970> men together < 3162>: for
even <1571> the husband <0376> with the wife < 0802> shall be
taken <3920>, the aged <2205> with [him that is] full <4390> of
days <3117>.



12 And their houses <1004> shall be turned <5437> unto others
<0312>, [with their] fields <7704> and wives < 0802> together
<3162>: for I will stretch <5186> out my hand < 3027> upon the
inhabitants <3427> of the land <0776>, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>.



13 For from the least <6996> of them even unto the greatest
<1419> of them every <3605> one [is] given to covetousness
<1215>; and from the prophet <5030> even unto the priest <3548>
every <3605> one dealeth <6213> falsely <8267>.



14 They have healed <7495> also the hurt <7667> [of the
daughter] of my people <5971> slightly <7043>, saying <0559>,
Peace <7965>, peace <7965>; when [there is] no < 0369> peace
<7965>.



15 Were they ashamed <0954> when <3588> they had committed
<6213> abomination <8441>? nay <1571>, they were not at all
ashamed <0954>, neither could <3045> they blush < 3637>:
therefore <3651> they shall fall <5307> among them that fall
<5307>: at the time <6256> [that] I visit <6485> them they shall
be cast <3782> down <3782>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.



16 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Stand <5975> ye in
the ways <1870>, and see <7200>, and ask <7592> for the old
<5769> paths <5410>, where <0335> [is] the good <2896> way
<1870>, and walk <3212> therein, and ye shall find <4672> rest
<4771> for your souls <5315>. But they said < 0559>, We will not
walk <3212> [therein].



17 Also I set <6965> watchmen <6822> over < 5921> you, [saying],
Hearken <7181> to the sound <6963> of the trumpet < 7782>. But
they said <0559>, We will not hearken <7181>.



18. Therefore <3651> hear <8085>, ye nations < 1471>, and know
<3045>, O congregation <5712>, what [is] among them.



19 Hear <8085>, O earth <0776>: behold <2009>, I will bring
<0935> evil <7451> upon this <2088> people < 5971>, [even] the
fruit <6529> of their thoughts <4284>, because they have not
hearkened <7181> unto my words <1697>, nor to my law <8451>, but
rejected <3988> it.



20 To what <4100> purpose cometh <0935> there to me incense
<3828> from Sheba <7614>, and the sweet <2896> cane <7070> from
a far <4801> country <0776>? your burnt <5930> offerings [are]
not acceptable <7522>, nor <3808> your sacrifices < 2077> sweet
<6147> unto me.



21 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>,
Behold <2005>, I will lay <5414> stumblingblocks < 4383> before
<0413> this <2088> people <5971>, and the fathers <1> and the
sons <1121> together <3162> shall fall <3782> upon them; the
neighbour <7934> and his friend <7453> shall perish <6>.



22 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Behold <2009>, a
people <5971> cometh <0935> from the north < 6828> country <0776>,
and a great <1419> nation <1471> shall be raised < 5782> from
the sides <3411> of the earth <0776>.



23 They shall lay hold <2388> on bow <7198> and spear <3591>;
they [are] cruel <0394>, and have no <3808> mercy < 7355>; their
voice <6963> roareth <1993> like the sea <3220>; and they ride
<7392> upon horses <5483>, set in array <6186> as men <0376> for
war <4421> against <5921> thee, O daughter < 1323> of Zion <6726>.



24 We have heard <8085> the fame <8089> thereof: our hands
<3027> wax feeble <7503>: anguish <6869> hath taken <2388> hold
<2388> of us, [and] pain <2427>, as of a woman in travail <3205>.



25 Go <3318> not forth <3318> into the field < 7704>, nor <0408>
walk <3212> by the way <1870>; for the sword < 2719> of the enemy
<0341> [and] fear <4032> [is] on every <5437> side <5439>.



26 O daughter <1323> of my people <5971>, gird < 2296> [thee]
with sackcloth <8242>, and wallow <6428> thyself in ashes <0665>:
make <6213> thee mourning <60>, [as for] an only < 3173> son
<3173>, most bitter <8563> lamentation <4553>: for the spoiler
<7703> shall suddenly <6597> come <0935> upon us.



27 I have set <5414> thee [for] a tower <0969> [and] a fortress
<4013> among my people <5971>, that thou mayest know <3045> and
try <0974> their way <1870>.



28 They [are] all <3605> grievous <5493> revolters <5637>,
walking <1980> with slanders <7400>: [they are] brass <5178> and
iron <1270>; they [are] all <3605> corrupters < 7843>.



29 The bellows <4647> are burned <2787>, the lead <5777> is
consumed <8552> of the fire <0784>; the founder < 6884> melteth
<6884> in vain <7723>: for the wicked <7451> are not plucked
<5423> away.



30 Reprobate <3988> silver <3701> shall [men] call <7121> them,
because <3588> the LORD <3068> hath rejected < 3988> them.



Jeremiah 7



1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah < 3414> from the
LORD <3068>, saying <0559>,



2 Stand <5975> in the gate <8179> of the LORD'S < 3068> house
<1004>, and proclaim <7121> there <8033> this <2088> word <1697>,
and say <0559>, Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>,
all <3605> [ye of] Judah <3063>, that enter < 0935> in at these
<0428> gates <8179> to worship <7812> the LORD <3068>.



3 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the
God <0430> of Israel <3478>, Amend <3190> your ways <1870> and
your doings <4611>, and I will cause you to dwell < 7931> in this
<2088> place <4725>.



4 Trust <0982> ye not in lying <8267> words < 1697>, saying
<0559>, The temple <1964> of the LORD <3068>, The temple <1964>
of the LORD <3068>, The temple <1964> of the LORD < 3068>, [are]
these <1992>.



5 For if <0518> ye throughly amend <3190> your ways <1870> and
your doings <4611>; if <0518> ye throughly execute <6213>
judgment <4941> between <0996> a man <0376> and his neighbour
<7453>;



6 [If] ye oppress <6231> not the stranger <1616>, the
fatherless <3490>, and the widow <0490>, and shed < 8210> not
innocent <5355> blood <1818> in this <2088> place <4725>,
neither <3808> walk <3212> after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430>
to your hurt <7451>:



7 Then will I cause you to dwell <7931> in this < 2088> place
<4725>, in the land <0776> that I gave <5414> to your fathers
<1>, for ever <5769> and ever <5769>.



8 Behold <2009>, ye trust <0982> in lying < 8267> words <1697>,
that cannot <1115> profit <3276>.



9 Will ye steal <1589>, murder <7523>, and commit <5003>
adultery <5003>, and swear <7650> falsely <8267> , and burn
<6999> incense <6999> unto Baal <1168>, and walk <1980> after
<0310> other <0312> gods <0430> whom < 0834> ye know <3045> not;



10 And come <0935> and stand <5975> before < 6440> me in this
<2088> house <1004>, which <0834> is called < 7121> by my name
<8034>, and say <0559>, We are delivered <5337> to do <6213> all
<3605> these <0428> abominations <8441>?



11 Is this <2088> house <1004>, which <0834> is called <7121>
by my name <8034>, become <1961> a den <4631> of robbers <6530>
in your eyes <5869>? Behold <2009>, even <1571> I have seen
<7200> [it], saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



12 But go <3212> ye now <4994> unto my place < 4725> which
<0834> [was] in Shiloh <7887>, where I set < 7931> my name <8034>
at the first <7223>, and see <7200> what I did < 6213> to it for
the wickedness <7451> of my people <5971> Israel < 3478>.



13 And now <4994>, because <3282> ye have done < 6213> all
<3605> these <0428> works <4639>, saith < 5002> the LORD <3068>,
and I spake <1696> unto you, rising <7925> up early <7925> and
speaking <1696>, but ye heard <8085> not; and I called <7121>
you, but ye answered <6030> not;



14 Therefore will I do <6213> unto [this] house < 1004>, which
<0834> is called <7121> by my name <8034>, wherein <0834> ye
trust <0982>, and unto the place <4725> which < 0834> I gave
<5414> to you and to your fathers <1>, as I have done <6213> to
Shiloh <7887>.



15 And I will cast <7993> you out of my sight <6440>, as I have
cast <7993> out all <3605> your brethren <0251>, [even <0853>]
the whole <3605> seed <2233> of Ephraim <0669>.



16. Therefore pray <6419> not thou for this <2088> people
<5971>, neither <0408> lift <5375> up cry < 7440> nor <0408>
prayer <8605> for them, neither <0408> make intercession <6293>
to me: for I will not hear <8085> thee.



17 Seest <7200> thou not what <4100> they do < 6213> in the
cities <5892> of Judah <3063> and in the streets < 2351> of
Jerusalem <3389>?



18 The children <1121> gather <3950> wood < 6086>, and the
fathers <1> kindle <1197> the fire <0784>, and the women <0802>
knead <3888> [their] dough <1217>, to make < 6213> cakes <3561>
to the queen <4446> of heaven <8064>, and to pour < 5258> out
drink <5262> offerings <5262> unto other <0312> gods <0430>,
that they may provoke me to anger <3707>.



19 Do they provoke me to anger <3707>? saith <5002> the LORD
<3068>: [do they] not [provoke] themselves to the confusion
<1322> of their own faces <6440>?



20 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>
GOD <3069>; Behold <2009>, mine anger <0639> and my fury <2534>
shall be poured <5413> out upon this <2088> place < 4725>, upon
man <0120>, and upon beast <0929>, and upon the trees <6086> of
the field <7704>, and upon the fruit <6529> of the ground <0127>;
and it shall burn <1197>, and shall not be quenched < 3518>.



21. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Put <5595> your burnt <5930>
offerings unto your sacrifices <2077>, and eat <0398> flesh
<1320>.



22 For I spake <1696> not unto your fathers <1>, nor <3808>
commanded <6680> them in the day <3117> that I brought <3318>
them out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, concerning burnt
<5930> offerings or sacrifices <2077>:



23 But this <2088> thing <1697> commanded < 6680> I them, saying
<0559>, Obey <8085> my voice <6963>, and I will be your God
<0430>, and ye shall be my people <5971>: and walk <1980> ye in
all <3605> the ways <1870> that I have commanded < 6680> you,
that it may be well <3190> unto you.



24 But they hearkened <8085> not, nor <3808> inclined <5186>
their ear <0241>, but walked <3212> in the counsels <4156> [and]
in the imagination <8307> of their evil <7451> heart <3820>, and
went <1961> backward <0268>, and not forward < 6440>.



25 Since <4480> the day <3117> that your fathers < 1> came
<3318> forth <3318> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> unto
this <2088> day <3117> I have even sent <7971> unto you all
<3605> my servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, daily <3117>
rising <7925> up early <7925> and sending <7971> [them]:



26 Yet they hearkened <8085> not unto me, nor <3808> inclined
<5186> their ear <0241>, but hardened <7185> their neck <6202>:
they did worse <7489> than their fathers <1>.



27 Therefore thou shalt speak <1696> all <3605> these <0428>
words <1697> unto them; but they will not hearken < 8085> to thee:
thou shalt also call <7121> unto them; but they will not answer
<6030> thee.



28 But thou shalt say <0559> unto them, This <2088> [is] a
nation <1471> that obeyeth <8085> not the voice < 6963> of the
LORD <3068> their God <0430>, nor <3808> receiveth <3947>
correction <4148>: truth <0530> is perished <6>, and is cut
<3772> off from their mouth <6310>.



29. Cut <1494> off thine hair <5145>, [O Jerusalem], and cast
<7993> [it] away, and take <5375> up a lamentation <7015> on
<5921> high <8205> places; for the LORD <3068> hath rejected
<3988> and forsaken <5203> the generation <1755> of his wrath
<5678>.



30 For the children <1121> of Judah <3063> have done <6213>
evil <7451> in my sight <5869>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>:
they have set <7760> their abominations <8251> in the house
<1004> which <0834> is called <7121> by my name <8034>, to
pollute <2930> it.



31 And they have built <1129> the high <1116> places of Tophet
<8612>, which <0834> [is] in the valley <1516> of the son <1121>
of Hinnom <2011>, to burn <8313> their sons < 1121> and their
daughters <1121> in the fire <0784>; which < 0834> I commanded
<6680> [them] not, neither <3808> came <5927> it into <5921> my
heart <3820>.



32 Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days < 3117> come <0935>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that it shall no < 3808> more
<5750> be called <0559> Tophet <8612>, nor the valley <1516> of
the son <1121> of Hinnom <2011>, but the valley < 1516> of
slaughter <2028>: for they shall bury <6912> in Tophet <8612>,
till there be no <0369> place <4725>.



33 And the carcases <5038> of this <2088> people < 5971> shall
be meat <3978> for the fowls <5775> of the heaven < 8064>, and
for the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776>; and none <0369> shall
fray <2729> [them] away.



34 Then will I cause to cease <7673> from the cities < 5892> of
Judah <3063>, and from the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>,
the voice <6963> of mirth <8342>, and the voice < 6963> of
gladness <8057>, the voice <6963> of the bridegroom <2860>, and
the voice <6963> of the bride <3618>: for the land <0776> shall
be desolate <2723>.



Jeremiah 8



1. At that time <6256>, saith <5002> the LORD < 3068>, they
shall bring <3318> out the bones <6106> of the kings <4428> of
Judah <3063>, and the bones <6106> of his princes < 8269>, and
the bones <6106> of the priests <3548>, and the bones <6106> of
the prophets <5030>, and the bones <6106> of the inhabitants
<3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, out of their graves < 6913>:



2 And they shall spread <7849> them before the sun < 8121>, and
the moon <3394>, and all <3605> the host <6635> of heaven <8064>,
whom <0834> they have loved <0157>, and whom < 0834> they have
served <5647>, and after <0310> whom <0834> they have walked
<1980>, and whom they have sought <1875>, and whom <0834> they
have worshipped <7812>: they shall not be gathered < 0622>, nor
<3808> be buried <6912>; they shall be for dung < 1828> upon the
face <6440> of the earth <0127>.



3 And death <4194> shall be chosen <0977> rather than life
<2416> by all <3605> the residue <7611> of them that remain
<7604> of this <2063> evil <7451> family < 4940>, which remain
<7604> in all <3605> the places <4725> whither I have driven
<5080> them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.



4. Moreover thou shalt say <0559> unto them, Thus < 3541> saith
<0559> the LORD <3068>; Shall they fall <5307>, and not arise
<6965>? shall he turn <7725> away, and not return < 7725>?



5 Why <4069> [then] is this <2088> people < 5971> of Jerusalem
<3389> slidden <7725> back <7725> by a perpetual <5331>
backsliding <4878>? they hold <2388> fast deceit < 8649>, they
refuse <3985> to return <7725>.



6 I hearkened <8085> and heard <8085>, [but] they spake <1696>
not aright <3651>: no <0369> man <0376> repented <5162> him of
his wickedness <7451>, saying <0559>, What < 4100> have I done
<6213>? every <3605> one turned <7725> to his course <4794>, as
the horse <5483> rusheth <7857> into the battle < 4421>.



7 Yea <1571>, the stork <2624> in the heaven < 8064> knoweth
<3045> her appointed <4150> times <6256>; and the turtle <8449>
and the crane <5483> and the swallow <5693> observe <8104> the
time <6256> of their coming <0935>; but my people < 5971> know
<3045> not the judgment <4941> of the LORD < 3068>.



8 How <0349> do ye say <0559>, We [are] wise < 2450>, and the
law <8451> of the LORD <3068> [is] with us? Lo < 2009>, certainly
<0403> in vain <8267> made <6213> he [it]; the pen <5842> of the
scribes <5608> [is] in vain <8267>.



9 The wise <2450> [men] are ashamed <0954>, they are dismayed
<2865> and taken: lo <2009>, they have rejected < 3988> the word
<1697> of the LORD <3068>; and what <4100> wisdom <2451> [is] in
them?



10 Therefore <3651> will I give <5414> their wives <0802> unto
others <0312>, [and] their fields <7704> to them that shall
inherit <3423> [them]: for every <3605> one from the least
<6996> even unto the greatest <1419> is given to covetousness
<1215>, from the prophet <5030> even unto the priest <3548>
every <3605> one dealeth <6213> falsely <8267>.



11 For they have healed <7495> the hurt <7667> of the daughter
<1323> of my people <5971> slightly <7043>, saying <0559>, Peace
<7965>, peace <7965>; when [there is] no <0369> peace <7965>.



12 Were they ashamed <0954> when <3588> they had committed
<6213> abomination <8441>? nay <1571>, they were not at all
ashamed <0954>, neither <3808> could <3045> they blush <3637>:
therefore <3651> shall they fall <5307> among them that fall
<5307>: in the time <6256> of their visitation < 6486> they shall
be cast <3782> down <3782>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.



13. I will surely consume <5486> them, saith <5002> the LORD
<3068>: [there shall be] no <0369> grapes <6025> on the vine
<1612>, nor <0369> figs <8384> on the fig < 8384> tree, and the
leaf <5929> shall fade <5034>; and [the things that] I have
given <5414> them shall pass <5674> away from them.



14 Why do we sit <3427> still? assemble <0622> yourselves, and
let us enter <0935> into <0413> the defenced < 4013> cities
<5892>, and let us be silent <1826> there <8033> : for the LORD
<3068> our God <0430> hath put us to silence < 1826>, and given
us water <4325> of gall <7219> to drink <8248>, because <3588>
we have sinned <2398> against the LORD <3068>.



15 We looked <6960> for peace <7965>, but no < 0369> good <2896>
[came; and] for a time <6256> of health <4832>, and behold
<2009> trouble <1205>!



16 The snorting <5170> of his horses <5483> was heard <8085>
from Dan <1835>: the whole <3605> land <0776> trembled <7493> at
the sound <6963> of the neighing <4684> of his strong <47> ones;
for they are come <0935>, and have devoured <0398> the land
<0776>, and all <4393> that is in it; the city < 5892>, and those
that dwell <3427> therein.



17 For, behold <2005>, I will send <7971> serpents <5175>,
cockatrices <6848>, among you, which <0834> [will] not [be]
charmed <3908>, and they shall bite <5391> you, saith <5002> the
LORD <3068>.



18 [When] I would comfort <4010> myself against sorrow < 3015>,
my heart <3820> [is] faint <1742> in me.



19 Behold <2009> the voice <6963> of the cry < 7775> of the
daughter <1323> of my people <5971> because of them that dwell
in a far <4801> country <0776>: [Is] not the LORD < 3068> in Zion
<6726>? [is] not her king <4428> in her? Why < 4069> have they
provoked me to anger <3707> with their graven <6456> images,
[and] with strange <5236> vanities <1892>?



20 The harvest <7105> is past <5674>, the summer < 7019> is
ended <3615>, and we are not saved <3467>.



21 For the hurt <7667> of the daughter <1323> of my people
<5971> am I hurt <7665>; I am black <6937>; astonishment <8047>
hath taken <2388> hold <2388> on me.



22 [Is there] no <0369> balm <6875> in Gilead < 1568>; [is
there] no <0369> physician <7495> there? why < 4069> then <3588>
is not the health <0724> of the daughter <1323> of my people
<5971> recovered <5927>?



Jeremiah 9



1. Oh that my head <7218> were waters <4325>, and mine eyes
<5869> a fountain <4726> of tears <1832>, that I might weep
<1058> day <3119> and night <3915> for the slain <2491> of the
daughter <1323> of my people <5971>!



2 Oh that I had in the wilderness <4057> a lodging < 4411> place
of wayfaring <0732> men; that I might leave <5800> my people
<5971>, and go <3212> from them! for they [be] all <3605>
adulterers <5003>, an assembly <6116> of treacherous <0898> men.



3 And they bend <1869> their tongues <3956> [like] their bow
<7198> [for] lies <8267>: but they are not valiant <1396> for
the truth <0530> upon the earth <0776>; for they proceed <3318>
from evil <7451> to evil <7451>, and they know < 3045> not me,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



4 Take ye heed <8104> every <0376> one <0376> of his neighbour
<7453>, and trust <0982> ye not in any <3605> brother <0251>:
for every <3605> brother <0251> will utterly supplant <6117>,
and every <3605> neighbour <7453> will walk < 1980> with slanders
<7400>.



5 And they will deceive <2048> every <0376> one < 0376> his
neighbour <7453>, and will not speak <1696> the truth <0571>:
they have taught <3925> their tongue <3956> to speak <1696> lies
<8267>, [and] weary <3811> themselves to commit < 5753> iniquity
<5753>.



6 Thine habitation <3427> [is] in the midst <8432> of deceit
<4820>; through deceit <4820> they refuse <3985> to know <3045>
me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



7 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635>, Behold <2005>, I will melt <6884> them, and try
<0974> them; for how <0349> shall I do <6213> for the daughter
<1323> of my people <5971>?



8 Their tongue <3956> [is as] an arrow <2671> shot <7819> out;
it speaketh <1696> deceit <4820>: [one] speaketh < 1696>
peaceably <7965> to his neighbour <7453> with his mouth <6310>,
but in heart <7130> he layeth <7760> his wait < 0696>.



9 Shall I not visit <6485> them for these <0428> [things]?
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: shall not my soul < 5315> be
avenged <5358> on such <0834> a nation <1471> as this <2088>?



10 For the mountains <2022> will I take <5375> up a weeping
<1065> and wailing <5092>, and for the habitations <4999> of the
wilderness <4057> a lamentation <7015>, because < 3588> they are
burned <3341> up, so that none can <3201> pass < 5674> through
[them]; neither <3808> can <3201> [men] hear < 8085> the voice
<6963> of the cattle <4735>; both the fowl < 5775> of the heavens
<8064> and the beast <0929> are fled <5074>; they are gone
<1980>.



11 And I will make <5414> Jerusalem <3389> heaps < 1530>, [and]
a den <4583> of dragons <8577>; and I will make < 5414> the
cities <5892> of Judah <3063> desolate <8077>, without <1097> an
inhabitant <3427>.



12. Who <4310> [is] the wise <2450> man <0376>, that may
understand <0995> this <2063>? and [who is he] to whom <0834>
the mouth <6310> of the LORD <3068> hath spoken < 1696>, that he
may declare <5046> it, for what <4100> the land < 0776> perisheth
<6> [and] is burned <3341> up like a wilderness < 4057>, that
none <1997> passeth <5674> through?



13 And the LORD <3068> saith <0559>, Because < 5921> they have
forsaken <5800> my law <8451> which <0834> I set <5414> before
<6440> them, and have not obeyed <8085> my voice < 6963>, neither
<3808> walked <1980> therein;



14 But have walked <3212> after <0310> the imagination <8307>
of their own heart <3820>, and after <0310> Baalim <1168>, which
<0834> their fathers <1> taught <3925> them:



15 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I
will feed <0398> them, [even] this <2088> people < 5971>, with
wormwood <3939>, and give them water <4325> of gall <7219> to
drink <8248>.



16 I will scatter <6327> them also among the heathen < 1471>,
whom <0834> neither <3808> they nor their fathers < 1> have known
<3045>: and I will send <7971> a sword <2719> after <0310> them,
till <5704> I have consumed <3615> them.



17 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
Consider <0995> ye, and call <7121> for the mourning <6969>
women, that they may come <0935>; and send <7971> for cunning
<2450> [women], that they may come <0935>:



18 And let them make haste <4116>, and take <5375> up a wailing
<5092> for us, that our eyes <5869> may run < 3381> down with
tears <1832>, and our eyelids <6079> gush <5140> out with waters
<4325>.



19 For a voice <6963> of wailing <5092> is heard < 8085> out of
Zion <6726>, How <0349> are we spoiled <7703>! we are greatly
<3966> confounded <0954>, because <3588> we have forsaken <5800>
the land <0776>, because <3588> our dwellings < 4908> have cast
<7993> [us] out.



20 Yet <3588> hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, O
ye women <0802>, and let your ear <0241> receive < 3947> the word
<1697> of his mouth <6310>, and teach <3925> your daughters
<1121> wailing <5092>, and every <0802> one her neighbour <7468>
lamentation <7015>.



21 For death <4194> is come <5927> up into our windows <2474>,
[and] is entered <0935> into our palaces <0759>, to cut <3772>
off the children <5768> from without <2351>, [and] the young
<0970> men from the streets <7339>.



22 Speak <1696>, Thus <3541> saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, Even
the carcases <5038> of men <0120> shall fall < 5307> as dung
<1828> upon the open <6440> field <7704>, and as the handful
<5995> after <0310> the harvestman <7114>, and none <0369> shall
gather <0622> [them].



23. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Let not the wise
<2450> [man] glory <1984> in his wisdom <2451>, neither <0408>
let the mighty <1368> [man] glory <1984> in his might <1369>,
let not the rich <6223> [man] glory <1984> in his riches <6239>:



24 But let him that glorieth <1984> glory <1984> in this <2063>,
that he understandeth <7919> and knoweth <3045> me, that I [am]
the LORD <3068> which exercise <6213> lovingkindness <2617>,
judgment <4941>, and righteousness <6666>, in the earth <0776>:
for in these <0428> [things] I delight <2654>, saith <5002> the
LORD <3068>.



25 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the
LORD <3068>, that I will punish <6485> all < 3605> [them which
are] circumcised <4135> with the uncircumcised <6190>;



26 Egypt <4714>, and Judah <3063>, and Edom < 0123>, and the
children <1121> of Ammon <5983>, and Moab <4124> , and all <3605>
[that are] in the utmost <7112> corners <6285>, that dwell
<3427> in the wilderness <4057>: for all <3605> [these] nations
<1471> [are] uncircumcised <6189>, and all < 3605> the house
<1004> of Israel <3478> [are] uncircumcised < 6189> in the heart
<3820>.



Jeremiah 10



1. Hear <8085> ye the word <1697> which <0834> the LORD <3068>
speaketh <1696> unto you, O house <1004> of Israel <3478>:



2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Learn <3925> not
the way <1870> of the heathen <1471>, and be not dismayed <2865>
at the signs <0226> of heaven <8064>; for the heathen <1471> are
dismayed <2865> at them.



3 For the customs <2708> of the people <5971> [are] vain <1892>:
for [one] cutteth <3772> a tree <6086> out of the forest <3293>,
the work <4639> of the hands <3027> of the workman <2796>, with
the axe <4621>.



4 They deck <3302> it with silver <3701> and with gold <2091>;
they fasten <2388> it with nails <4548> and with hammers <4717>,
that it move <6328> not.



5 They [are] upright <4749> as the palm <8560> tree, but speak
<1696> not: they must needs be borne <5375>, because <3588> they
cannot <3808> go <6805>. Be not afraid <3372> of them; for they
cannot <3808> do evil <7489>, neither also < 1571> [is it] in
them to do good <3190>.



6 Forasmuch as [there is] none <0369> like <3644> unto thee, O
LORD <3068>; thou [art] great <1419>, and thy name <8034> [is]
great <1419> in might <1369>.



7 Who <4310> would not fear <3372> thee, O King < 4428> of
nations <1471>? for to thee doth it appertain <2969>: forasmuch
as among all <3605> the wise <2450> [men] of the nations <1471>,
and in all <3605> their kingdoms <4467>, [there is] none <0369>
like <3644> unto thee.



8 But they are altogether <0259> brutish <1197> and foolish
<3688>: the stock <6086> [is] a doctrine <4148> of vanities
<1892>.



9 Silver <3701> spread <7554> into plates is brought <0935>
from Tarshish <8659>, and gold <2091> from Uphaz < 0210>, the
work <4639> of the workman <2796>, and of the hands <3027> of
the founder <6884>: blue <8504> and purple < 0713> [is] their
clothing <3830>: they [are] all <3605> the work < 4639> of
cunning <2450> [men].



10 But the LORD <3068> [is] the true <0571> God < 0430>, he [is]
the living <2416> God <0430>, and an everlasting < 5769> king
<4428>: at his wrath <7110> the earth <0776> shall tremble
<7493>, and the nations <1471> shall not be able < 3201> to abide
<3557> his indignation <2195>.



11 Thus <1836> shall ye say <0560> unto them, The gods <0426>
that have not made <5648> the heavens <8065> and the earth
<0778>, [even] they shall perish <7> from the earth <0772>, and
from under <8460> these <0429> heavens <8065>.



12 He hath made <6213> the earth <0776> by his power <3581>, he
hath established <3559> the world <8398> by his wisdom <2451>,
and hath stretched <5186> out the heavens <8064> by his
discretion <8394>.



13 When he uttereth <5414> his voice <6963>, [there is] a
multitude <1995> of waters <4325> in the heavens < 8064>, and he
causeth the vapours <5387> to ascend <5927> from the ends <7097>
of the earth <0776>; he maketh <6213> lightnings < 1300> with
rain <4306>, and bringeth <3318> forth <3318> the wind <7307>
out of his treasures <0214>.



14 Every <3605> man <0120> is brutish <1197> in [his] knowledge
<1847>: every <3605> founder <6884> is confounded <3001> by the
graven <6459> image <6459>: for his molten < 5262> image [is]
falsehood <8267>, and [there is] no <3808> breath < 7307> in them.



15 They [are] vanity <1892>, [and] the work <4639> of errors
<8595>: in the time <6256> of their visitation < 6486> they shall
perish <6>.



16 The portion <2506> of Jacob <3290> [is] not like them: for
he [is] the former <3335> of all <3605> [things]; and Israel
<3478> [is] the rod <7626> of his inheritance < 5159>: The LORD
<3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>.



17. Gather <0622> up thy wares <3666> out of the land <0776>, O
inhabitant <3427> of the fortress <4693>.



18 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> , Behold <2005>,
I will sling <7049> out the inhabitants <3427> of the land
<0776> at this <2063> once <6471>, and will distress <6887> them,
that they may find <4672> [it so].



19 Woe <0188> is me for my hurt <7667>! my wound < 4347> is
grievous <2470>: but I said <0559>, Truly <0389> this <2088>
[is] a grief <2483>, and I must bear <5375> it.



20 My tabernacle <0168> is spoiled <7703>, and all <3605> my
cords <4340> are broken <5423>: my children < 1121> are gone
<3318> forth <3318> of me, and they [are] not: [there is] none
<0369> to stretch <5186> forth my tent <0168> any more <5750>,
and to set <6965> up my curtains <3407>.



21 For the pastors <7462> are become <1197> brutish <1197>, and
have not sought <1875> the LORD <3068>: therefore they shall not
prosper <7919>, and all <3605> their flocks < 4830> shall be
scattered <6327>.



22 Behold <2009>, the noise <6963> of the bruit < 8052> is come
<0935>, and a great <1419> commotion <7494> out of the north
<6828> country <0776>, to make <7760> the cities <5892> of Judah
<3063> desolate <8077>, [and] a den <4583> of dragons <8577>.



23 O LORD <3068>, I know <3045> that the way < 1870> of man
<0120> [is] not in himself: [it is] not in man that walketh
<1980> to direct <3559> his steps <6806>.



24 O LORD <3068>, correct <3256> me, but with judgment <4941>;
not in thine anger <0639>, lest <6435> thou bring me to nothing
<4591>.



25 Pour <8210> out thy fury <2534> upon the heathen <1471> that
know <3045> thee not, and upon the families <4940> that call
<7121> not on thy name <8034>: for they have eaten <0398> up
Jacob <3290>, and devoured <0398> him, and consumed <3615> him,
and have made his habitation <5116> desolate <8074>.



Jeremiah 11



1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah < 3414> from the
LORD <3068>, saying <0559>,



2 Hear <8085> ye the words <1697> of this < 2088> covenant
<1285>, and speak <1696> unto the men <0376> of Judah <3063>,
and to the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>;



3 And say <0559> thou unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the
LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Cursed <0779> [be] the
man <0376> that obeyeth <8085> not the words < 1697> of this
<2088> covenant <1285>,



4 Which <0834> I commanded <6680> your fathers < 1> in the day
<3117> [that] I brought <3318> them forth <3318> out of the land
<0776> of Egypt <4714>, from the iron <1270> furnace <3564>,
saying <0559>, Obey <8085> my voice <6963>, and do <6213> them,
according to all <3605> which <0834> I command < 6680> you: so
shall ye be my people <5971>, and I will be your God < 0430>:



5 That I may perform <6965> the oath <7621> which <0834> I have
sworn <7650> unto your fathers <1>, to give < 5414> them a land
<0776> flowing <2100> with milk <2461> and honey <1706>, as [it
is] this <2088> day <3117>. Then answered <6030> I, and said
<0559>, So <0543> be it, O LORD <3068>.



6 Then the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Proclaim <7121> all
<3605> these <0428> words <1697> in the cities <5892> of Judah
<3063>, and in the streets <2351> of Jerusalem < 3389>, saying
<0559>, Hear <8085> ye the words <1697> of this <2088> covenant
<1285>, and do <6213> them.



7 For I earnestly protested <5749> unto your fathers < 1> in the
day <3117> [that] I brought <5927> them up out of the land
<0776> of Egypt <4714>, [even] unto this <2088> day <3117>,
rising <7925> early <7925> and protesting <5749> , saying <0559>,
Obey <8085> my voice <6963>.



8 Yet they obeyed <8085> not, nor <3808> inclined <5186> their
ear <0241>, but walked <3212> every <0376> one <0376> in the
imagination <8307> of their evil <7451> heart < 3820>: therefore
I will bring <0935> upon them all <3605> the words <1697> of
this <2088> covenant <1285>, which <0834> I commanded <6680>
[them] to do <6213>; but they did <6213> [them] not.



9 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, A conspiracy <7195>
is found <4672> among the men <0376> of Judah < 3063>, and among
the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>.



10 They are turned <7725> back <7725> to the iniquities <5771>
of their forefathers, which <0834> refused <3985> to hear <8085>
my words <1697>; and they went <1980> after < 0310> other <0312>
gods <0430> to serve <5647> them: the house < 1004> of Israel
<3478> and the house <1004> of Judah <3063> have broken <6565>
my covenant <1285> which <0834> I made <3772> with their fathers
<1>.



11. Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>,
Behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> evil <7451> upon them, which
<0834> they shall not be able <3201> to escape < 3318>; and
though they shall cry <2199> unto me, I will not hearken <8085>
unto them.



12 Then shall the cities <5892> of Judah <3063> and inhabitants
<3427> of Jerusalem <3389> go <1980>, and cry <2199> unto the
gods <0430> unto whom they offer incense <6999>: but they shall
not save <3467> them at all in the time <6256> of their trouble
<7451>.



13 For [according to] the number <4557> of thy cities < 5892>
were thy gods <0430>, O Judah <3063>; and [according to] the
number <4557> of the streets <2351> of Jerusalem < 3389> have ye
set <7760> up altars <4196> to [that] shameful < 1322> thing,
[even] altars <4196> to burn <6999> incense < 6999> unto Baal
<1168>.



14 Therefore pray <6419> not thou for this <2088> people <5971>,
neither <0408> lift <5375> up a cry <7440> or prayer <8605> for
them: for I will not hear <8085> [them] in the time < 6256> that
they cry <7121> unto me for their trouble <7451>.



15 What <4100> hath my beloved <3039> to do in mine house
<1004>, [seeing] she hath wrought <6213> lewdness < 4209> with
many <7227>, and the holy <6944> flesh <1320> is passed <5674>
from thee? when <3588> thou doest evil <7451>, then <0227> thou
rejoicest <5937>.



16 The LORD <3068> called <7121> thy name < 8034>, A green
<7488> olive <2132> tree, fair <3303>, [and] of goodly fruit
<6529>: with the noise <6963> of a great <1419> tumult <1999> he
hath kindled <3341> fire <0784> upon it, and the branches <1808>
of it are broken <7489>.



17 For the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, that planted <5193>
thee, hath pronounced <1696> evil <7451> against < 5921> thee,
for the evil <7451> of the house <1004> of Israel < 3478> and of
the house <1004> of Judah <3063>, which <0834> they have done
<6213> against themselves <1992> to provoke me to anger <3707>
in offering incense <6999> unto Baal <1168>.



18. And the LORD <3068> hath given me knowledge < 3045> [of it],
and I know <3045> [it]: then <0227> thou shewedst < 7200> me
their doings <4611>.



19 But I [was] like a lamb <3532> [or] an ox <0441> [that] is
brought <2986> to the slaughter <2873>; and I knew <3045> not
that they had devised <2803> devices <4284> against <5921> me,
[saying], Let us destroy <7843> the tree <6086> with the fruit
<3899> thereof, and let us cut <3772> him off from the land
<0776> of the living <2416>, that his name < 8034> may be no
<3808> more <5750> remembered <2142>.



20 But, O LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, that judgest <8199>
righteously <6664>, that triest <0974> the reins < 3629> and the
heart <3820>, let me see <7200> thy vengeance < 5360> on them:
for unto thee have I revealed <1540> my cause <7379>.



21 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
the men <0582> of Anathoth <6068>, that seek < 1245> thy life
<5315>, saying <0559>, Prophesy <5012> not in the name <8034> of
the LORD <3068>, that thou die <4191> not by our hand <3027>:



22 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635>, Behold <2005>, I will punish < 6485> them: the
young <0970> men shall die <4191> by the sword < 2719>; their
sons <1121> and their daughters <1121> shall die < 4191> by
famine <7458>:



23 And there shall be no <3808> remnant <7611> of them: for I
will bring <0935> evil <7451> upon the men < 0582> of Anathoth
<6068>, [even] the year <8141> of their visitation <6486>.



Jeremiah 12



1. Righteous <6662> [art] thou, O LORD <3068>, when <3588> I
plead <7378> with thee: yet <0389> let me talk < 1696> with thee
of [thy] judgments <4941>: Wherefore <4069> doth the way <1870>
of the wicked <7563> prosper <6743>? [wherefore] are all <3605>
they happy <7951> that deal very <0899> treacherously <0898>?



2 Thou hast planted <5193> them, yea <1571>, they have taken
root <8327>: they grow <3212>, yea <1571>, they bring <6213>
forth <6213> fruit <6529>: thou [art] near < 7138> in their mouth
<6310>, and far <7350> from their reins <3629>.



3 But thou, O LORD <3068>, knowest <3045> me: thou hast seen
<7200> me, and tried <0974> mine heart <3820> toward <0854> thee:
pull <5423> them out like sheep <6629> for the slaughter <2873>,
and prepare <6942> them for the day <3117> of slaughter <2028>.



4 How <5704> long <5704> shall the land <0776> mourn <56>, and
the herbs <6212> of every <3605> field <7704> wither <3001>, for
the wickedness <7451> of them that dwell <3427> therein? the
beasts <0929> are consumed <5595>, and the birds < 5775>; because
<3588> they said <0559>, He shall not see <7200> our last <0319>
end.



5 If <3588> thou hast run <7323> with the footmen <7273>, and
they have wearied <3811> thee, then how <0349> canst thou
contend <8474> with horses <5483>? and [if] in the land <0776>
of peace <7965>, [wherein] thou trustedst <0982>, [they wearied
thee], then how <0349> wilt thou do <6213> in the swelling
<1347> of Jordan <3383>?



6 For even <1571> thy brethren <0251>, and the house <1004> of
thy father <1>, even <1571> they have dealt treacherously <0898>
with thee; yea <1571>, they have called <7121> a multitude
<4392> after <0310> thee: believe <0539> them not, though <3588>
they speak <1696> fair <2896> words unto thee.



7. I have forsaken <5800> mine house <1004>, I have left <5203>
mine heritage <5159>; I have given <5414> the dearly beloved
<3039> of my soul <5315> into the hand <3709> of her enemies
<0341>.



8 Mine heritage <5159> is unto me as a lion <0738> in the
forest <3293>; it crieth out against <5921> me: therefore have I
hated <8130> it.



9 Mine heritage <5159> [is] unto me [as] a speckled < 6641> bird
<5861>, the birds <5861> round <5439> about [are] against <5921>
her; come <3212> ye, assemble <0622> all <3605> the beasts
<2416> of the field <7704>, come <0857> to devour <0402>.



10 Many <7227> pastors <7462> have destroyed < 7843> my vineyard
<3754>, they have trodden <0947> my portion < 2513> under foot
<0947>, they have made <5414> my pleasant <2532> portion <2513>
a desolate <8077> wilderness <4057>.



11 They have made <7760> it desolate <8074>, [and being]
desolate <8077> it mourneth <56> unto me; the whole <3605> land
<0776> is made desolate <8074>, because <3588> no <0369> man
<0376> layeth <7760> [it] to heart <3820>.



12 The spoilers <7703> are come <0935> upon all < 3605> high
<8205> places through the wilderness <4057>: for the sword
<2719> of the LORD <3068> shall devour <0398> from the [one] end
<7097> of the land <0776> even to the [other] end < 7097> of the
land <0776>: no <0369> flesh <1320> shall have peace <7965>.



13 They have sown <2232> wheat <2406>, but shall reap <7114>
thorns <6975>: they have put themselves to pain <2470> , [but]
shall not profit <3276>: and they shall be ashamed < 0954> of
your revenues <8393> because of the fierce <2740> anger <0639>
of the LORD <3068>.



14. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> against <5921> all
<3605> mine evil <7451> neighbours <7934>, that touch <5060> the
inheritance <5159> which <0834> I have caused my people <5971>
Israel <3478> to inherit <5157>; Behold <2005>, I will pluck
<5428> them out of their land <0127>, and pluck < 5428> out the
house <1004> of Judah <3063> from among <8432> them.



15 And it shall come to pass, after <0310> that I have plucked
<5428> them out I will return <7725>, and have compassion <7355>
on them, and will bring <7725> them again <7725>, every man
<0376> to his heritage <5159>, and every man < 0376> to his land
<0776>.



16 And it shall come to pass, if <0518> they will diligently
learn <3925> the ways <1870> of my people <5971> , to swear
<7650> by my name <8034>, The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>; as they
taught <3925> my people <5971> to swear <7650> by Baal <1168>;
then shall they be built <1129> in the midst <8432> of my people
<5971>.



17 But if <0518> they will not obey <8085>, I will utterly
pluck <5428> up and destroy <6> that nation < 1471>, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>.



Jeremiah 13



1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me, Go <1980>
and get <7069> thee a linen <6593> girdle <0232> , and put <7760>
it upon thy loins <4975>, and put <7760> it not in water <4325>.



2 So I got <7069> a girdle <0232> according to the word <1697>
of the LORD <3068>, and put <7760> [it] on < 5921> my loins
<4975>.



3 And the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came < 1961> unto me
the second <8145> time, saying <0559>,



4 Take <3947> the girdle <0232> that thou hast got <7069>,
which <0834> [is] upon thy loins <4975>, and arise <6965>, go
<3212> to Euphrates <6578>, and hide <2934> it there <8033> in a
hole <5357> of the rock.



5 So I went <3212>, and hid <2934> it by Euphrates <6578>, as
the LORD <3068> commanded <6680> me.



6 And it came <1961> to pass after <7093> many < 7227> days
<3117>, that the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Arise <6965>,
go <3212> to Euphrates <6578>, and take <3947> the girdle <0232>
from thence <8033>, which <0834> I commanded < 6680> thee to hide
<2934> there <8033>.



7 Then I went <3212> to Euphrates <6578>, and digged <2658>,
and took <3947> the girdle <0232> from the place < 4725> where I
had hid <2934> it: and, behold <2009>, the girdle < 0232> was
marred <7843>, it was profitable <6743> for nothing.



8 Then the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came < 1961> unto me,
saying <0559>,



9 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, After <3602> this
manner <3541> will I mar <7843> the pride <1347> of Judah <3063>,
and the great <7227> pride <1347> of Jerusalem < 3389>.



10 This <2088> evil <7451> people <5971>, which refuse <3987>
to hear <8085> my words <1697>, which walk < 1980> in the
imagination <8307> of their heart <3820>, and walk <1980> after
<0310> other <0312> gods <0430>, to serve < 5647> them, and to
worship <7812> them, shall even be as this <2088> girdle <0232>,
which <0834> is good <6743> for nothing.



11 For as the girdle <0232> cleaveth <1692> to the loins <4975>
of a man <0376>, so <3651> have I caused to cleave <1692> unto
me the whole <3605> house <1004> of Israel < 3478> and the whole
<3605> house <1004> of Judah <3063>, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>; that they might be unto me for a people <5971> , and for
a name <8034>, and for a praise <8416>, and for a glory <8597>:
but they would not hear <8085>.



12. Therefore thou shalt speak <0559> unto them this < 2088>
word <1697>; Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430>
of Israel <3478>, Every <3605> bottle <5035> shall be filled
<4390> with wine <3196>: and they shall say < 0559> unto thee, Do
we not certainly know <3045> that every <3605> bottle <5035>
shall be filled <4390> with wine <3196>?



13 Then shalt thou say <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith
<0559> the LORD <3068>, Behold <2005>, I will fill <5433> all
<3605> the inhabitants <3427> of this land < 0776>, even the
kings <4428> that sit <3427> upon David's <1732> throne <3678>,
and the priests <3548>, and the prophets <5030>, and all <3605>
the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, with drunkenness
<7943>.



14 And I will dash <5310> them one <0376> against <0413>
another <0250>, even the fathers <1> and the sons < 1121>
together <3162>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: I will not pity
<2550>, nor <3808> spare <2347>, nor < 3808> have mercy <7355>,
but destroy <7843> them.



15 Hear <8085> ye, and give ear <0238>; be not proud <1341>:
for the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696>.



16 Give <5414> glory <3519> to the LORD <3068> your God <0430>,
before <2962> he cause darkness <2821>, and before <2962> your
feet <7272> stumble <5062> upon the dark <5399> mountains <2022>,
and, while ye look <6960> for light <0216>, he turn <7760> it
into the shadow <6757> of death <6757>, [and] make <7896> [it]
gross <6205> darkness <6205>.



17 But if <0518> ye will not hear <8085> it, my soul <5315>
shall weep <1058> in secret <4565> places for [your] pride
<1466>; and mine eye <5869> shall weep <1830> sore, and run
<3381> down with tears <1832>, because <3588> the LORD'S <3068>
flock <5739> is carried <7617> away captive < 7617>.



18 Say <0559> unto the king <4428> and to the queen <1377>,
Humble <8213> yourselves, sit <3427> down: for your
principalities <4761> shall come <3381> down < 3381>, [even] the
crown <5850> of your glory <8597>.



19 The cities <5892> of the south <5045> shall be shut <5462>
up, and none <0369> shall open <6605> [them]: Judah <3063> shall
be carried <1540> away captive <1540> all <3605> of it, it shall
be wholly <7965> carried <1540> away captive < 1540>.



20 Lift <5375> up your eyes <5869>, and behold < 7200> them that
come <0935> from the north <6828>: where <0346> [is] the flock
<5739> [that] was given <5414> thee, thy beautiful <8597> flock
<6629>?



21 What <4100> wilt thou say <0559> when <3588> he shall punish
<6485> thee? for thou hast taught <3925> them [to be] captains
<0441>, [and] as chief <7218> over <5921> thee: shall not
sorrows <2256> take <0270> thee, as a woman < 0802> in travail
<3205>?



22. And if <3588> thou say <0559> in thine heart < 3824>,
Wherefore <4069> come <7122> these <0428> things upon me? For
the greatness <7230> of thine iniquity <5771> are thy skirts
<7757> discovered <1540>, [and] thy heels <6119> made bare
<2554>.



23 Can the Ethiopian <3569> change <2015> his skin <5785>, or
the leopard <5246> his spots <2272>? [then] may < 3201> ye also
<1571> do good <3190>, that are accustomed < 3928> to do evil
<7489>.



24 Therefore will I scatter <6327> them as the stubble < 7179>
that passeth <5674> away by the wind <7307> of the wilderness
<4057>.



25 This <2088> [is] thy lot <1486>, the portion < 4490> of thy
measures <4055> from me, saith <5002> the LORD < 3068>; because
<0834> thou hast forgotten <7911> me, and trusted < 0982> in
falsehood <8267>.



26 Therefore will I discover <2834> thy skirts <7757> upon thy
face <6440>, that thy shame <7036> may appear < 7200>.



27 I have seen <7200> thine adulteries <5004>, and thy
neighings <4684>, the lewdness <2154> of thy whoredom <2184>,
[and] thine abominations <8251> on <5921> the hills <1389> in
the fields <7704>. Woe <0188> unto thee, O Jerusalem <3389>!
wilt thou not be made clean <2891>? when [shall it] once <5750>
[be]?



Jeremiah 14



1. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> that came < 1961> to
Jeremiah <3414> concerning the dearth <1226>.



2 Judah <3063> mourneth <56>, and the gates < 8179> thereof
languish <0535>; they are black <6937> unto the ground <0776>;
and the cry <6682> of Jerusalem <3389> is gone < 5927> up.



3 And their nobles <0117> have sent <7971> their little <6810>
ones to the waters <4325>: they came <0935> to the pits <1356>,
[and] found <4672> no <3808> water <4325>; they returned <7725>
with their vessels <3627> empty <7387>; they were ashamed <0954>
and confounded <3637>, and covered <2645> their heads <7218>.



4 Because <5668> the ground <0127> is chapt < 2865>, for there
was no <3808> rain <1653> in the earth <0776>, the plowmen
<0406> were ashamed <0954>, they covered <2645> their heads
<7218>.



5 Yea, the hind <0365> also <1571> calved < 3205> in the field
<7704>, and forsook <5800> [it], because <3588> there was no
<3808> grass <1758>.



6 And the wild <6501> asses <6501> did stand < 5975> in the high
<8205> places, they snuffed <7602> up the wind < 7307> like
dragons <8577>; their eyes <5869> did fail < 3615>, because
<3588> [there was] no <0369> grass <6212>.



7 O LORD <3068>, though <0518> our iniquities < 5771> testify
<6030> against us, do <6213> thou [it] for thy name's <8034>
sake <4616>: for our backslidings <4878> are many < 7231>; we
have sinned <2398> against thee.



8 O the hope <4723> of Israel <3478>, the saviour <3467>
thereof in time <6256> of trouble <6869>, why < 4100> shouldest
thou be as a stranger <1616> in the land <0776>, and as a
wayfaring <0732> man [that] turneth <5186> aside < 5186> to tarry
<3885> for a night?



9 Why <4100> shouldest thou be as a man <0376> astonied <1724>,
as a mighty <1368> man <0376> [that] cannot save < 3467>? yet
thou, O LORD <3068>, [art] in the midst <7130> of us, and we are
called <7121> by thy name <8034>; leave <3241> us not.



10. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> unto this <2088>
people <5971>, Thus <3651> have they loved < 0157> to wander
<5128>, they have not refrained <2820> their feet < 7272>,
therefore the LORD <3068> doth not accept <7521> them; he will
now <4994> remember <2142> their iniquity <5771> , and visit
<6485> their sins <2403>.



11 Then said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me, Pray <6419> not
for this <2088> people <5971> for [their] good < 2896>.



12 When <3588> they fast <6684>, I will not hear < 8085> their
cry <7440>; and when <3588> they offer <5927> burnt <5930>
offering and an oblation <4503>, I will not accept < 7521> them:
but I will consume <3615> them by the sword <2719>, and by the
famine <7458>, and by the pestilence <1698>.



13 Then said <0559> I, Ah <0162>, Lord <0136> GOD <3069>!
behold <2009>, the prophets <5030> say <0559> unto them, Ye
shall not see <7200> the sword <2719>, neither < 3808> shall ye
have famine <7458>; but I will give <5414> you assured <0571>
peace <7965> in this <2088> place <4725>.



14 Then the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, The prophets
<5030> prophesy <5012> lies <8267> in my name <8034>: I sent
<7971> them not, neither <3808> have I commanded < 6680> them,
neither <3808> spake <1696> unto them: they prophesy <5012> unto
you a false <8267> vision <2377> and divination < 7081>, and a
thing of nought <0434>, and the deceit <8649> of their heart
<3820>.



15 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>
concerning <5921> the prophets <5030> that prophesy <5012> in my
name <8034>, and I sent <7971> them not, yet they say <0559>,
Sword <2719> and famine <7458> shall not be in this <2063> land
<0776>; By sword <2719> and famine <7458> shall those <1992>
prophets <5030> be consumed <8552>.



16 And the people <5971> to whom they prophesy <5012> shall be
cast <7993> out in the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>
because <6440> of the famine <7458> and the sword < 2719>; and
they shall have none <0369> to bury <6912> them, them, their
wives <0802>, nor their sons <1121>, nor their daughters <1121>:
for I will pour <8210> their wickedness <7451> upon them.



17. Therefore thou shalt say <0559> this <2088> word <1697>
unto them; Let mine eyes <5869> run <3381> down with tears
<1832> night <3915> and day <3119>, and let them not cease
<1820>: for the virgin <1330> daughter <1323> of my people
<5971> is broken <7665> with a great <1419> breach <7667>, with
a very <3966> grievous <2470> blow <4347>.



18 If <0518> I go <3318> forth <3318> into the field <7704>,
then behold <2009> the slain <2491> with the sword <2719>! and
if <0518> I enter <0935> into the city <5892>, then behold
<2009> them that are sick <8463> with famine < 7458>! yea, both
<1571> the prophet <5030> and the priest <3548> go <5503> about
<5503> into <0413> a land <0776> that they know <3045> not.



19 Hast thou utterly rejected <3988> Judah <3063>? hath thy
soul <5315> lothed <1602> Zion <6726>? why < 4069> hast thou
smitten <5221> us, and [there is] no <0369> healing <4832> for
us? we looked <6960> for peace <7965>, and [there is] no <0369>
good <2896>; and for the time <6256> of healing < 4832>, and
behold <2009> trouble <1205>!



20 We acknowledge <3045>, O LORD <3068>, our wickedness <7562>,
[and] the iniquity <5771> of our fathers <1>: for we have sinned
<2398> against thee.



21 Do not abhor <5006> [us], for thy name's <8034> sake <4616>,
do not disgrace <5034> the throne <3678> of thy glory <3519>:
remember <2142>, break <6565> not thy covenant < 1285> with us.



22 Are there [any] among the vanities <1892> of the Gentiles
<1471> that can cause rain <1653>? or can the heavens <8064>
give <5414> showers <7241>? [art] not thou he, O LORD <3068> our
God <0430>? therefore we will wait <6960> upon thee: for thou
hast made <6213> all <3605> these <0428> [things].



Jeremiah 15



1. Then said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me, Though <0518>
Moses <4872> and Samuel <8050> stood <5975> before <6440> me,
[yet] my mind <5315> [could] not [be] toward <0413> this <2088>
people <5971>: cast <7971> [them] out of my sight < 6440>, and
let them go <3318> forth <3318>.



2 And it shall come <1961> to pass, if <3588> they say <0559>
unto thee, Whither <0575> shall we go <3318> forth <3318>? then
thou shalt tell <0559> them, Thus <3541> saith < 0559> the LORD
<3068>; Such as [are] for death <4194>, to death < 4194>; and
such as [are] for the sword <2719>, to the sword < 2719>; and
such as [are] for the famine <7458>, to the famine < 7458>; and
such as [are] for the captivity <7628>, to the captivity <7628>.



3 And I will appoint <6485> over <5921> them four <0702> kinds
<4940>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: the sword <2719> to slay
<2026>, and the dogs <3611> to tear <5498>, and the fowls <5775>
of the heaven <8064>, and the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776>,
to devour <0398> and destroy <7843>.



4 And I will cause <5414> them to be removed <2189> into all
<3605> kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776>, because <1558> of
Manasseh <4519> the son <1121> of Hezekiah < 2396> king <4428> of
Judah <3063>, for [that] which <0834> he did < 6213> in Jerusalem
<3389>.



5 For who <4310> shall have pity <2550> upon thee, O Jerusalem
<3389>? or who <4310> shall bemoan <5110> thee? or who shall go
<5493> aside <5493> to ask <7592> how thou doest <7965>?



6 Thou hast forsaken <5203> me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>,
thou art gone <3212> backward <0268>: therefore will I stretch
<5186> out my hand <3027> against <5921> thee, and destroy
<7843> thee; I am weary <3811> with repenting < 5162>.



7 And I will fan <2219> them with a fan <2219> in the gates
<8179> of the land <0776>; I will bereave <7921> [them] of
children, I will destroy <6> my people <5971>, [since] they
return <7725> not from their ways <1870>.



8 Their widows <0490> are increased <6105> to me above the sand
<2344> of the seas <3220>: I have brought <0935> upon them
against <5921> the mother <0517> of the young < 0970> men a
spoiler <7703> at noonday <6672>: I have caused [him] to fall
<5307> upon it suddenly <6597>, and terrors < 0928> upon the city
<5892>.



9 She that hath borne <3205> seven <7651> languisheth <0535>:
she hath given <5301> up the ghost <5315>; her sun <8121> is
gone <0935> down while [it was] yet <5750> day < 3119>: she hath
been <1961> ashamed <0954> and confounded <2659> : and the
residue <7611> of them will I deliver <5414> to the sword <2719>
before <6440> their enemies <0341>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



10. Woe <0188> is me, my mother <0517>, that thou hast borne
<3205> me a man <0376> of strife <7379> and a man <0376> of
contention <4066> to the whole <3605> earth < 0776>! I have
neither <3808> lent <5383> on usury <5383>, nor <3808> men have
lent <5383> to me on usury <5383>; [yet] every < 3605> one of
them doth curse <7043> me.



11 The LORD <3068> said <0559>, Verily it shall be well <2896>
with thy remnant <8293>; verily <0518> I will cause the enemy
<0341> to entreat <6293> thee [well] in the time < 6256> of evil
<7451> and in the time <6256> of affliction < 6869>.



12 Shall iron <1270> break <7489> the northern < 6828> iron
<1270> and the steel <5178>?



13 Thy substance <2428> and thy treasures <0214> will I give
<5414> to the spoil <0957> without price <4242>, and [that] for
all <3605> thy sins <2403>, even in all <3605> thy borders
<1366>.



14 And I will make [thee] to pass <5674> with thine enemies
<0341> into a land <0776> [which] thou knowest < 3045> not: for a
fire <0784> is kindled <6919> in mine anger < 0639>, [which]
shall burn <3344> upon you.



15. O LORD <3068>, thou knowest <3045>: remember < 2142> me, and
visit <6485> me, and revenge <5358> me of my persecutors <7291>;
take <3947> me not away in thy longsuffering: know < 3045> that
for thy sake I have suffered <5375> rebuke <2781>.



16 Thy words <1697> were found <4672>, and I did eat <0398>
them; and thy word <1697> was unto me the joy <8342> and
rejoicing <8057> of mine heart <3824>: for I am called <7121> by
thy name <8034>, O LORD <3068> God <0430> of hosts <6635>.



17 I sat <3427> not in the assembly <5475> of the mockers
<7832>, nor rejoiced <5937>; I sat <3427> alone <0909> because
<6440> of thy hand <3027>: for thou hast filled < 4390> me with
indignation <2195>.



18 Why <4100> is my pain <3511> perpetual < 5331>, and my wound
<4347> incurable <0605>, [which] refuseth <3985> to be healed
<7495>? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar < 0391>, [and
as] waters <4325> [that] fail <0539>?



19 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>,
If <0518> thou return <7725>, then will I bring < 7725> thee
again <7725>, [and] thou shalt stand <5975> before <6440> me:
and if <0518> thou take <3318> forth <3318> the precious <3368>
from the vile <2151>, thou shalt be as my mouth <6310> : let them
return <7725> unto thee; but return <7725> not thou unto them.



20 And I will make <5414> thee unto this <2088> people <5971> a
fenced <1219> brasen <5178> wall <2346>: and they shall fight
<3898> against <0413> thee, but they shall not prevail <3201>
against thee: for I [am] with thee to save <3467> thee and to
deliver <5337> thee, saith <5002> the LORD < 3068>.



21 And I will deliver <5337> thee out of the hand < 3027> of the
wicked <7451>, and I will redeem <6299> thee out of the hand
<3709> of the terrible <6184>.



Jeremiah 16



1. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came < 1961> also unto me,
saying,



2 Thou shalt not take <3947> thee a wife <0802>, neither <3808>
shalt thou have sons <1121> or <0176> daughters < 1121> in this
<2088> place <4725>.



3 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> concerning
<5921> the sons <1121> and concerning <5921> the daughters
<1121> that are born <3205> in this <2088> place <4725>, and
concerning <5921> their mothers <0517> that bare < 3205> them,
and concerning <5921> their fathers <1> that begat <3205> them
in this <2088> land <0776>;



4 They shall die <4191> of grievous <8463> deaths <4463>; they
shall not be lamented <5594>; neither <3808> shall they be
buried <6912>; [but] they shall be as dung <1828> upon the face
<6440> of the earth <0127>: and they shall be consumed <3615> by
the sword <2719>, and by famine <7458>; and their carcases
<5038> shall be meat <3978> for the fowls <5775> of heaven
<8064>, and for the beasts <0929> of the earth < 0776>.



5 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Enter <0935>
not into the house <1004> of mourning <4798>, neither <3808> go
<3212> to lament <5594> nor <3808> bemoan < 5110> them: for I
have taken <0622> away my peace <7965> from this < 2088> people
<5971>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, [even < 0853>]
lovingkindness <2617> and mercies <7356>.



6 Both the great <1419> and the small <6996> shall die <4191>
in this <2063> land <0776>: they shall not be buried <6912>,
neither <3808> shall [men] lament <5594> for them, nor <3808>
cut <1413> themselves, nor <3808> make themselves bald <7139>
for them:



7 Neither <3808> shall [men] tear <6536> [themselves] for them
in mourning <60>, to comfort <5162> them for the dead <4191>;
neither <3808> shall [men] give them the cup <3563> of
consolation <8575> to drink <8248> for their father <1> or for
their mother <0517>.



8 Thou shalt not also go <0935> into the house <1004> of
feasting <4960>, to sit <3427> with them to eat < 0398> and to
drink <8354>.



9 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I will cause to
cease <7673> out of this <2088> place <4725> in your eyes <5869>,
and in your days <3117>, the voice <6963> of mirth <8342>, and
the voice <6963> of gladness <8057>, the voice < 6963> of the
bridegroom <2860>, and the voice <6963> of the bride <3618>.



10. And it shall come <1961> to pass, when <3588> thou shalt
shew <5046> this <2088> people <5971> all < 3605> these <0428>
words <1697>, and they shall say <0559> unto thee, Wherefore
hath the LORD <3068> pronounced <1696> all < 3605> this <2063>
great <1419> evil <7451> against <5921> us? or what <4100> [is]
our iniquity <5771>? or what <4100> [is] our sin < 2403> that we
have committed <2398> against the LORD <3068> our God <0430>?



11 Then shalt thou say <0559> unto them, Because your fathers
<1> have forsaken <5800> me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and
have walked <3212> after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430>, and
have served <5647> them, and have worshipped <7812> them, and
have forsaken <5800> me, and have not kept <8104> my law <8451>;



12 And ye have done <6213> worse <7489> than your fathers <1>;
for, behold <2009>, ye walk <1980> every <0376> one <0376> after
<0310> the imagination <8307> of his evil <7451> heart <3820>,
that they may not hearken <8085> unto me:



13 Therefore will I cast <2904> you out of this < 2063> land
<0776> into <5921> a land <0776> that ye know <3045> not,
[neither] ye nor your fathers <1>; and there <8033> shall ye
serve <5647> other <0312> gods <0430> day < 3119> and night
<3915>; where <0834> I will not shew <5414> you favour <2594>.



14. Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days < 3117> come
<0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that it shall no <3808>
more <5750> be said <0559>, The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, that
brought <5927> up the children <1121> of Israel < 3478> out of
the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>;



15 But, The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, that brought <5927> up
the children <1121> of Israel <3478> from the land <0776> of the
north <6828>, and from all <3605> the lands < 0776> whither he
had driven <5080> them: and I will bring <7725> them again
<7725> into <5921> their land <0127> that I gave <5414> unto
their fathers <1>.



16 Behold <2005>, I will send <7971> for many < 7227> fishers
<1728>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and they shall fish <1770>
them; and after <0310> will I send <7971> for many <7227>
hunters <6719>, and they shall hunt <6679> them from every
<3605> mountain <2022>, and from every <3605> hill <1389>, and
out of the holes <5357> of the rocks <5553>.



17 For mine eyes <5869> [are] upon all <3605> their ways <1870>:
they are not hid <5641> from my face <6440>, neither <3808> is
their iniquity <5771> hid <6845> from mine eyes < 5869>.



18 And first <7223> I will recompense <7999> their iniquity
<5771> and their sin <2403> double <4932>; because <5921> they
have defiled <2490> my land <0776>, they have filled <4390> mine
inheritance <5159> with the carcases <5038> of their detestable
<8251> and abominable <8441> things.



19 O LORD <3068>, my strength <5797>, and my fortress <4581>,
and my refuge <4498> in the day <3117> of affliction <6869>, the
Gentiles <1471> shall come <0935> unto thee from the ends <0657>
of the earth <0776>, and shall say <0559>, Surely < 0389> our
fathers <1> have inherited <5157> lies <8267>, vanity <1892>,
and [things] wherein [there is] no <0369> profit < 3276>.



20 Shall a man <0120> make <6213> gods <0430> unto himself, and
they [are] no <3808> gods <0430>?



21 Therefore <3651>, behold <2005>, I will this < 2063> once
<6471> cause them to know <3045>, I will cause them to know
<3045> mine hand <3027> and my might <1369>; and they shall know
<3045> that my name <8034> [is] The LORD <3068>.



Jeremiah 17



1. The sin <2403> of Judah <3063> [is] written < 3789> with a
pen <5842> of iron <1270>, [and] with the point < 6856> of a
diamond <8068>: [it is] graven <2790> upon the table <3871> of
their heart <3820>, and upon the horns <7161> of your altars
<4196>;



2 Whilst their children <1121> remember <2142> their altars
<4196> and their groves <0842> by the green < 7488> trees <6086>
upon the high <1364> hills <1389>.



3 O my mountain <2042> in the field <7704>, I will give <5414>
thy substance <2428> [and] all <3605> thy treasures <0214> to
the spoil <0957>, [and] thy high <1116> places for sin <2403>,
throughout all <3605> thy borders <1366>.



4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue <8058> from thine
heritage <5159> that I gave <5414> thee; and I will cause thee
to serve <5647> thine enemies <0341> in the land < 0776> which
<0834> thou knowest <3045> not: for ye have kindled <6919> a
fire <0784> in mine anger <0639>, [which] shall burn <3344> for
ever <5769>.



5. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Cursed <0779> [be]
the man <1397> that trusteth <0982> in man < 0120>, and maketh
flesh <1320> his arm <2220>, and whose heart < 3820> departeth
<5493> from the LORD <3068>.



6 For he shall be like the heath <6176> in the desert < 6160>,
and shall not see <7200> when <3588> good <2896> cometh <0935>;
but shall inhabit <7931> the parched <2788> places in the
wilderness <4057>, [in] a salt <4420> land < 0776> and not
inhabited <3427>.



7 Blessed <1288> [is] the man <1397> that trusteth <0982> in
the LORD <3068>, and whose hope <4009> the LORD < 3068> is.



8 For he shall be as a tree <6086> planted <8362> by the waters
<4325>, and [that] spreadeth <7971> out her roots < 8328> by the
river <3105>, and shall not see <7200> when < 3588> heat <2527>
cometh <0935>, but her leaf <5929> shall be green < 7488>; and
shall not be careful <1672> in the year <8141> of drought <1226>,
neither <3808> shall cease <4185> from yielding < 6213> fruit
<6529>.



9 The heart <3820> [is] deceitful <6121> above all <3605>
[things], and desperately <0605> wicked <0605>: who <4310> can
know <3045> it?



10 I the LORD <3068> search <2713> the heart < 3820>, [I] try
<0974> the reins <3629>, even to give <5414> every man <0376>
according to his ways <1870>, [and] according to the fruit
<6529> of his doings <4611>.



11 [As] the partridge <7124> sitteth <1716> [on eggs], and
hatcheth <3205> [them] not; [so] he that getteth < 6213> riches
<6239>, and not by right <4941>, shall leave < 5800> them in the
midst <2677> of his days <3117>, and at his end < 0319> shall be
a fool <5036>.



12. A glorious <3519> high <4791> throne <3678> from the
beginning <7223> [is] the place <4725> of our sanctuary <4720>.



13 O LORD <3068>, the hope <4723> of Israel < 3478>, all <3605>
that forsake <5800> thee shall be ashamed <0954>, [and] they
that depart <3249> from me shall be written <3789> in the earth
<0776>, because <3588> they have forsaken <5800> the LORD <3068>,
the fountain <4726> of living <2416> waters < 4325>.



14 Heal <7495> me, O LORD <3068>, and I shall be healed <7495>;
save <3467> me, and I shall be saved <3467>: for thou [art] my
praise <8416>.



15 Behold <2009>, they say <0559> unto me, Where < 0346> [is]
the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>? let it come < 0935> now
<4994>.



16 As for me, I have not hastened <0213> from [being] a pastor
<7462> to follow <0310> thee: neither <3808> have I desired
<0183> the woeful <0605> day <3117>; thou knowest <3045>: that
which came <4161> out of my lips <8193> was [right <5227>]
before <5227> thee.



17 Be not a terror <4288> unto me: thou [art] my hope < 4268> in
the day <3117> of evil <7451>.



18 Let them be confounded <0954> that persecute < 7291> me, but
let not me be confounded <0954>: let them be dismayed < 2865>,
but let not me be dismayed <2865>: bring <0935> upon them the
day <3117> of evil <7451>, and destroy <7665> them with double
<4932> destruction <7670>.



19. Thus <3541> said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me; Go <1980>
and stand <5975> in the gate <8179> of the children <1121> of
the people <5971>, whereby <0834> the kings < 4428> of Judah
<3063> come <0935> in, and by the which <0834> they go <3318>
out, and in all <3605> the gates <8179> of Jerusalem <3389>;



20 And say <0559> unto them, Hear <8085> ye the word <1697> of
the LORD <3068>, ye kings <4428> of Judah <3063> , and all <3605>
Judah <3063>, and all <3605> the inhabitants < 3427> of Jerusalem
<3389>, that enter <0935> in by these <0428> gates <8179>:



21 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Take heed <8104>
to yourselves <5315>, and bear <5375> no <0408> burden <4853> on
the sabbath <7676> day <3117>, nor bring <0935> [it] in by the
gates <8179> of Jerusalem <3389>;



22 Neither <3808> carry <3318> forth <3318> a burden <4853> out
of your houses <1004> on the sabbath <7676> day < 3117>, neither
<3808> do <6213> ye any <3605> work <4399> , but hallow <6942> ye
the sabbath <7676> day <3117>, as I commanded < 6680> your
fathers <1>.



23 But they obeyed <8085> not, neither <3808> inclined <5186>
their ear <0241>, but made their neck <6202> stiff <7185>, that
they might not hear <8085>, nor <1115> receive < 3947>
instruction <4148>.



24 And it shall come <1961> to pass, if <0518> ye diligently
hearken <8085> unto me, saith <5002> the LORD < 3068>, to bring
<0935> in no <1115> burden <4853> through the gates <8179> of
this <2063> city <5892> on the sabbath <7676> day <3117>, but
hallow <6942> the sabbath <7676> day <3117>, to do <6213> no
<1115> work <4399> therein;



25 Then shall there enter <0935> into the gates < 8179> of this
<2063> city <5892> kings <4428> and princes < 8269> sitting
<3427> upon the throne <3678> of David <1732>, riding <7392> in
chariots <7393> and on horses <5483>, they, and their princes
<8269>, the men <0376> of Judah <3063>, and the inhabitants
<3427> of Jerusalem <3389>: and this <2088> city <5892> shall
remain <3427> for ever <5769>.



26 And they shall come <0935> from the cities <5892> of Judah
<3063>, and from the places <5439> about <5439> Jerusalem <3389>,
and from the land <0776> of Benjamin <1144>, and from the plain
<8219>, and from the mountains <2022>, and from the south <5045>,
bringing <0935> burnt <5930> offerings, and sacrifices <2077>,
and meat offerings <4503>, and incense <3828>, and bringing
<0935> sacrifices of praise <8426>, unto the house <1004> of the
LORD <3068>.



27 But if <0518> ye will not hearken <8085> unto me to hallow
<6942> the sabbath <7676> day <3117>, and not to bear <5375> a
burden <4853>, even entering <0935> in at the gates <8179> of
Jerusalem <3389> on the sabbath <7676> day < 3117>; then will I
kindle <3341> a fire <0784> in the gates <8179> thereof, and it
shall devour <0398> the palaces <0759> of Jerusalem <3389>, and
it shall not be quenched <3518>.



Jeremiah 18



1. The word <1697> which <0834> came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414>
from the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>,



2 Arise <6965>, and go <3381> down <3381> to the potter's
<3335> house <1004>, and there <8033> I will cause thee to hear
<8085> my words <1697>.



3 Then I went <3381> down <3381> to the potter's < 3335> house
<1004>, and, behold <2009>, he wrought <6213> a work <4399> on
<5921> the wheels <70>.



4 And the vessel <3627> that he made <6213> of clay <2563> was
marred <7843> in the hand <3027> of the potter < 3335>: so he
made <6213> it again <7725> another <0312> vessel <3627>, as
seemed <5869> good <3474> to the potter <3335> to make <6213>
[it].



5 Then the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came < 1961> to me,
saying <0559>,



6 O house <1004> of Israel <3478>, cannot I do < 6213> with you
as this <2088> potter <3335>? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.
Behold <2009>, as the clay <2563> [is] in the potter's <3335>
hand <3027>, so <3651> [are] ye in mine hand < 3027>, O house
<1004> of Israel <3478>.



7 [At what] instant <7281> I shall speak <1696> concerning
<5921> a nation <1471>, and concerning <5921> a kingdom <4467>,
to pluck <5428> up, and to pull <5422> down, and to destroy <6>
[it];



8 If that nation <1471>, against <5921> whom < 0834> I have
pronounced <1696>, turn <7725> from their evil < 7451>, I will
repent <5162> of the evil <7451> that I thought < 2803> to do
<6213> unto them.



9 And [at what] instant <7281> I shall speak <1696> concerning
<5921> a nation <1471>, and concerning <5921> a kingdom <4467>,
to build <1129> and to plant <5193> [it];



10 If it do <6213> evil <7451> in my sight < 5869>, that it obey
<8085> not my voice <6963>, then I will repent < 5162> of the
good <2896>, wherewith <0834> I said <0559> I would benefit
<3190> them.



11. Now <6258> therefore go <4994> to, speak < 0559> to the men
<0376> of Judah <3063>, and to the inhabitants < 3427> of
Jerusalem <3389>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the
LORD <3068>; Behold <2009>, I frame <3335> evil <7451> against
<5921> you, and devise <2803> a device <4284> against <5921> you:
return <7725> ye now <4994> every <0376> one <0376> from his
evil <7451> way <1870>, and make your ways < 1870> and your
doings <4611> good <3190>.



12 And they said <0559>, There is no hope <2976>: but we will
walk <1980> after <0310> our own devices <4284>, and we will
every <0376> one <0376> do <6213> the imagination <8307> of his
evil <7451> heart <3820>.



13 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>;
Ask <7592> ye now <4994> among the heathen < 1471>, who <4310>
hath heard <8085> such <0428> things: the virgin < 1330> of
Israel <3478> hath done <6213> a very <3966> horrible <8186>
thing.



14 Will [a man] leave <5800> the snow <7950> of Lebanon <3844>
[which cometh] from the rock <6697> of the field < 7704>? [or]
shall the cold <7119> flowing <5140> waters < 4325> that come
from another <2114> place be forsaken <5428>?



15 Because <3588> my people <5971> hath forgotten <7911> me,
they have burned <6999> incense <6999> to vanity < 7723>, and
they have caused them to stumble <3782> in their ways < 1870>
[from] the ancient <5769> paths <7635>, to walk < 1980> in paths
<5410>, [in] a way <1870> not cast <5549> up;



16 To make <7760> their land <0776> desolate < 8047>, [and] a
perpetual <5769> hissing <8292>; every <3605> one that passeth
<5674> thereby <5921> shall be astonished <8074> , and wag <5110>
his head <7218>.



17 I will scatter <6327> them as with an east <6921> wind
<7307> before <6440> the enemy <0341>; I will shew <7200> them
the back <6203>, and not the face <6440>, in the day <3117> of
their calamity <0343>.



18. Then said <0559> they, Come <3212>, and let us devise
<2803> devices <4284> against <5921> Jeremiah <3414>; for the
law <8451> shall not perish <6> from the priest < 3548>, nor
counsel <6098> from the wise <2450>, nor the word < 1697> from
the prophet <5030>. Come <3212>, and let us smite < 5221> him
with the tongue <3956>, and let us not give heed < 7181> to any
<3605> of his words <1697>.



19 Give heed <7181> to me, O LORD <3068>, and hearken <8085> to
the voice <6963> of them that contend <3401> with me.



20 Shall evil <7451> be recompensed <7999> for good <2896>? for
they have digged <3738> a pit <7745> for my soul < 5315>.
Remember <2142> that I stood <5975> before < 6440> thee to speak
<1696> good <2896> for them, [and] to turn < 7725> away thy wrath
<2534> from them.



21 Therefore <3651> deliver <5414> up their children <1121> to
the famine <7458>, and pour <5064> out their [blood] by the
force <3027> of the sword <2719>; and let their wives <0802> be
bereaved <7909> of their children, and [be] widows < 0490>; and
let their men <0582> be put <2026> to death < 4194>; [let] their
young <0970> men [be] slain <5221> by the sword < 2719> in battle
<4421>.



22 Let a cry <2201> be heard <8085> from their houses <1004>,
when <3588> thou shalt bring <0935> a troop < 1416> suddenly
<6597> upon them: for they have digged <3738> a pit to take
<3920> me, and hid <2934> snares <6341> for my feet <7272>.



23 Yet, LORD <3068>, thou knowest <3045> all < 3605> their
counsel <6098> against <5921> me to slay <1194> [me]: forgive
<3722> not their iniquity <5771>, neither <0408> blot <4229> out
their sin <2403> from thy sight <6440>, but let them be
overthrown <3782> before <6440> thee; deal < 6213> [thus] with
them in the time <6256> of thine anger <0639>.



Jeremiah 19



1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Go <1980> and get
<7069> a potter's <3335> earthen <2789> bottle <1228>, and
[take] of the ancients <2204> of the people <5971>, and of the
ancients <2204> of the priests <3548>;



2 And go <3318> forth <3318> unto the valley < 1516> of the son
<1121> of Hinnom <2011>, which <0834> [is] by the entry <6607>
of the east <2777> gate <8179>, and proclaim < 7121> there <8033>
the words <1697> that I shall tell <1696> thee,



3 And say <0559>, Hear <8085> ye the word < 1697> of the LORD
<3068>, O kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, and inhabitants <3427>
of Jerusalem <3389>; Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I
will bring <0935> evil <7451> upon this <2088> place <4725>, the
which <0834> whosoever <3605> heareth <8085>, his ears <0241>
shall tingle <6750>.



4 Because they have forsaken <5800> me, and have estranged
<5234> this <2088> place <4725>, and have burned <6999> incense
<6999> in it unto other <0312> gods <0430>, whom <0834> neither
<3808> they nor their fathers <1> have known < 3045>, nor the
kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, and have filled < 4390> this <2088>
place <4725> with the blood <1818> of innocents < 5355>;



5 They have built <1129> also the high <1116> places of Baal
<1168>, to burn <8313> their sons <1121> with fire <0784> [for]
burnt <5930> offerings unto Baal <1168>, which < 0834> I
commanded <6680> not, nor <3808> spake <1696> [it], neither
<3808> came <5927> [it] into <5921> my mind < 3820>:



6 Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days < 3117> come <0935>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that this <2088> place <4725>
shall no <3808> more <5750> be called <7121> Tophet <8612>, nor
The valley <1516> of the son <1121> of Hinnom < 2011>, but The
valley <1516> of slaughter <2028>.



7 And I will make void <1238> the counsel <6098> of Judah
<3063> and Jerusalem <3389> in this <2088> place <4725>; and I
will cause them to fall <5307> by the sword <2719> before <6440>
their enemies <0341>, and by the hands <3027> of them that seek
<1245> their lives <5315>: and their carcases < 5038> will I give
<5414> to be meat <3978> for the fowls <5775> of the heaven
<8064>, and for the beasts <0929> of the earth < 0776>.



8 And I will make <7760> this <2063> city < 5892> desolate
<8047>, and an hissing <8322>; every <3605> one that passeth
<5674> thereby <5921> shall be astonished <8074> and hiss <8319>
because <5921> of all <3605> the plagues <4347> thereof.



9 And I will cause them to eat <0398> the flesh < 1320> of their
sons <1121> and the flesh <1320> of their daughters <1121>, and
they shall eat <0398> every <0376> one <0376> the flesh <1320>
of his friend <7453> in the siege <4692> and straitness <4689>,
wherewith <0834> their enemies <0341>, and they that seek <1245>
their lives <5315>, shall straiten <6693> them.



10. Then shalt thou break <7665> the bottle <1228> in the sight
<5869> of the men <0582> that go <1980> with thee,



11 And shalt say <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the
LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; Even <3602> so < 3602> will I break
<7665> this <2088> people <5971> and this < 2063> city <5892>, as
[one] breaketh <7665> a potter's <3335> vessel < 3627>, that
cannot be made <7495> whole <7495> again <5750>: and they shall
bury <6912> [them] in Tophet <8612>, till [there be] no <0369>
place <4725> to bury <6912>.



12 Thus <3651> will I do <6213> unto this < 2088> place <4725>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and to the inhabitants <3427>
thereof, and [even] make <5414> this <2063> city < 5892> as
Tophet <8612>:



13 And the houses <1004> of Jerusalem <3389>, and the houses
<1004> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, shall be defiled
<2931> as the place <4725> of Tophet <8612>, because <3605> of
all <3605> the houses <1004> upon whose <0834> roofs <1406> they
have burned <6999> incense <6999> unto all < 3605> the host
<6635> of heaven <8064>, and have poured <5258> out drink <5262>
offerings unto other <0312> gods <0430>.



14 Then came <0935> Jeremiah <3414> from Tophet < 8612>, whither
<0834> the LORD <3068> had sent <7971> him to prophesy <5012>;
and he stood <5975> in the court <2691> of the LORD'S <3068>
house <1004>; and said <0559> to all <3605> the people <5971>,



15 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I will bring
<0935> upon this city <5892> and upon all <3605> her towns
<5892> all <3605> the evil <7451> that I have pronounced <1696>
against <5921> it, because <3588> they have hardened <7185>
their necks <6203>, that they might not hear <8085> my words
<1697>.



Jeremiah 20



1. Now Pashur <6583> the son <1121> of Immer < 0564> the priest
<3548>, who <1931> [was] also chief <5051> governor <5057> in
the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, heard < 8085> that Jeremiah
<3414> prophesied <5012> these <0428> things <1697>.



2 Then Pashur <6583> smote <5221> Jeremiah < 3414> the prophet
<5030>, and put <5414> him in the stocks <4115> that [were] in
the high <5945> gate <8179> of Benjamin <1144>, which <0834>
[was] by the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.



3 And it came <1961> to pass on the morrow <4283>, that Pashur
<6583> brought <3318> forth <3318> Jeremiah < 3414> out of the
stocks <4115>. Then said <0559> Jeremiah <3414> unto him, The
LORD <3068> hath not called <7121> thy name < 8034> Pashur <6583>,
but Magormissabib <4036>.



4 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Behold <2005>,
I will make <5414> thee a terror <4320> to thyself, and to all
<3605> thy friends <0157>: and they shall fall < 5307> by the
sword <2719> of their enemies <0341>, and thine eyes <5869>
shall behold <7200> [it]: and I will give <5414> all <3605>
Judah <3063> into the hand <3027> of the king < 4428> of Babylon
<0894>, and he shall carry <1540> them captive < 1540> into
Babylon <0894>, and shall slay <5221> them with the sword <2719>.



5 Moreover I will deliver <5414> all <3605> the strength <2633>
of this <2063> city <5892>, and all <3605> the labours <3018>
thereof, and all <3605> the precious <3366> things thereof, and
all <3605> the treasures <0214> of the kings < 4428> of Judah
<3063> will I give <5414> into the hand <3027> of their enemies
<0341>, which shall spoil <0962> them, and take < 3947> them, and
carry <0935> them to Babylon <0894>.



6 And thou, Pashur <6583>, and all <3605> that dwell <3427> in
thine house <1004> shall go <3212> into captivity < 7628>: and
thou shalt come <0935> to Babylon <0894>, and there <8033> thou
shalt die <4191>, and shalt be buried <6912> there <8033>, thou,
and all <3605> thy friends <0157>, to whom thou hast prophesied
<5012> lies <8267>.



7. O LORD <3068>, thou hast deceived <6601> me, and I was
deceived <6601>: thou art stronger <2388> than I, and hast
prevailed <3201>: I am in derision <7814> daily, every <3605>
one mocketh <3932> me.



8 For since <1767> I spake <1696>, I cried < 2199> out, I cried
<7121> violence <2555> and spoil <7701>; because <3588> the word
<1697> of the LORD <3068> was made <1961> a reproach <2781> unto
me, and a derision <7047>, daily.



9 Then I said <0559>, I will not make mention <2142> of him,
nor <3808> speak <1696> any more <5750> in his name <8034>. But
[his word] was in mine heart <3820> as a burning < 1197> fire
<0784> shut <6113> up in my bones <6106>, and I was weary <3811>
with forbearing <3557>, and I could <3201> not [stay].



10 For I heard <8085> the defaming <1681> of many <7227>, fear
<4032> on every <5437> side <5439>. Report < 5046>, [say they],
and we will report <5046> it. All <3605> my familiars <7965>
watched <8104> for my halting <6761>, [saying], Peradventure
<0194> he will be enticed <6601>, and we shall prevail <3201>
against him, and we shall take <3947> our revenge < 5360> on him.



11 But the LORD <3068> [is] with me as a mighty < 1368> terrible
<6184> one: therefore my persecutors <7291> shall stumble <3782>,
and they shall not prevail <3201>: they shall be greatly <3966>
ashamed <0954>; for they shall not prosper <7919>: [their]
everlasting <5769> confusion <3639> shall never be forgotten
<7911>.



12 But, O LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, that triest <0974> the
righteous <6662>, [and] seest <7200> the reins < 3629> and the
heart <3820>, let me see <7200> thy vengeance < 5360> on them:
for unto thee have I opened <1540> my cause <7379>.



13 Sing <7891> unto the LORD <3068>, praise < 1984> ye the LORD
<3068>: for he hath delivered <5337> the soul < 5315> of the poor
<34> from the hand <3027> of evildoers <7489>.



14. Cursed <0779> [be] the day <3117> wherein < 0834> I was born
<3205>: let not the day <3117> wherein <0834> my mother <0517>
bare <3205> me be blessed <1288>.



15 Cursed <0779> [be] the man <0376> who <0834> brought <1319>
tidings <1319> to my father <1>, saying <0559>, A man <2145>
child <1121> is born <3205> unto thee; making him very glad
<8056>.



16 And let that man <0376> be as the cities <5892> which <0834>
the LORD <3068> overthrew <2015>, and repented < 5162> not: and
let him hear <8085> the cry <2201> in the morning < 1242>, and
the shouting <8643> at noontide;



17 Because <0834> he slew <4191> me not from the womb <7358>;
or that my mother <0517> might have been <1961> my grave <6913>,
and her womb <7358> [to be] always <5769> great < 2030> [with me].



18 Wherefore <4100> came <3318> I forth <3318> out of the womb
<7358> to see <7200> labour <5999> and sorrow <3015>, that my
days <3117> should be consumed <3615> with shame < 1322>?



Jeremiah 21



1. The word <1697> which <0834> came <1961> unto Jeremiah
<3414> from the LORD <3068>, when king <4428> Zedekiah <6667>
sent <7971> unto him Pashur <6583> the son < 1121> of Melchiah
<4441>, and Zephaniah <6846> the son <1121> of Maaseiah <4641>
the priest <3548>, saying <0559>,



2 Enquire <1875>, I pray <4994> thee, of the LORD <3068> for us;
for Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon < 0894> maketh
war <3898> against <5921> us; if <0194> so be that the LORD
<3068> will deal <6213> with us according to all < 3605> his
wondrous <6381> works, that he may go <5927> up from us.



3 Then said <0559> Jeremiah <3414> unto them, Thus <3541> shall
ye say <0559> to Zedekiah <6667>:



4 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel
<3478>; Behold <2005>, I will turn <5437> back <5437> the
weapons <3627> of war <4421> that [are] in your hands <3027>,
wherewith <0834> ye fight <3898> against the king < 4428> of
Babylon <0894>, and [against] the Chaldeans <3778>, which
besiege <6696> you without <2351> the walls < 2346>, and I will
assemble <0622> them into <0413> the midst < 8432> of this <2063>
city <5892>.



5 And I myself <0589> will fight <3898> against you with an
outstretched <5186> hand <3027> and with a strong < 2389> arm
<2220>, even in anger <0639>, and in fury <2534> , and in great
<1419> wrath <7110>.



6 And I will smite <5221> the inhabitants <3427> of this <2063>
city <5892>, both man <0120> and beast <0929>: they shall die
<4191> of a great <1419> pestilence <1698>.



7 And afterward, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, I will deliver
<5414> Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah < 3063>, and his
servants <5650>, and the people <5971>, and such as are left
<7604> in this <2063> city <5892> from the pestilence <1698>,
from the sword <2719>, and from the famine <7458>, into the hand
<3027> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>,
and into the hand <3027> of their enemies <0341>, and into the
hand <3027> of those that seek <1245> their life < 5315>: and he
shall smite <5221> them with the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>;
he shall not spare <2347> them, neither <3808> have pity <2550>,
nor <3808> have mercy <7355>.



8. And unto this <2088> people <5971> thou shalt say <0559>,
Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I set
<5414> before <6440> you the way <1870> of life <2416>, and the
way <1870> of death <4194>.



9 He that abideth <3427> in this <2063> city < 5892> shall die
<4191> by the sword <2719>, and by the famine < 7458>, and by the
pestilence <1698>: but he that goeth <3318> out, and falleth
<5307> to the Chaldeans <3778> that besiege < 6696> you, he shall
live <2421>, and his life <5315> shall be unto him for a prey
<7998>.



10 For I have set <7760> my face <6440> against this <2063>
city <5892> for evil <7451>, and not for good < 2896>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>: it shall be given <5414> into the hand
<3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and he shall burn
<8313> it with fire <0784>.



11 And touching the house <1004> of the king <4428> of Judah
<3063>, [say], Hear <8085> ye the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>;



12 O house <1004> of David <1732>, thus <3541> saith <0559> the
LORD <3068>; Execute <1777> judgment <4941> in the morning
<1242>, and deliver <5337> [him that is] spoiled < 1497> out of
the hand <3027> of the oppressor <6231>, lest < 6435> my fury
<2534> go <3318> out like fire <0784>, and burn <1197> that none
<0369> can quench <3518> [it], because <6440> of the evil <7455>
of your doings <4611>.



13 Behold <2005>, I [am] against <0413> thee, O inhabitant
<3427> of the valley <6010>, [and] rock <6697> of the plain
<4334>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; which say <0559>, Who
<4310> shall come <5181> down <5181> against <5921> us? or who
<4310> shall enter <0935> into our habitations < 4585>?



14 But I will punish <6485> you according to the fruit < 6529>
of your doings <4611>, saith <5002> the LORD < 3068>: and I will
kindle <3341> a fire <0784> in the forest <3293> thereof, and it
shall devour <0398> all <3605> things round < 5439> about it.



Jeremiah 22



1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Go <3381> down
<3381> to the house <1004> of the king <4428> of Judah <3063>,
and speak <1696> there <8033> this <2088> word <1697>,



2 And say <0559>, Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD
<3068>, O king <4428> of Judah <3063>, that sittest <3427> upon
the throne <3678> of David <1732>, thou, and thy servants <5650>,
and thy people <5971> that enter <0935> in by these <0428>
gates <8179>:



3 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Execute <6213> ye
judgment <4941> and righteousness <6666>, and deliver <5337> the
spoiled <1497> out of the hand <3027> of the oppressor <6216>:
and do no <0408> wrong <3238>, do no <0408> violence <2554> to
the stranger <1616>, the fatherless <3490>, nor the widow <0490>,
neither <0408> shed <8210> innocent <5355> blood <1818> in this
<2088> place <4725>.



4 For if <0518> ye do <6213> this <2088> thing <1697> indeed,
then shall there enter <0935> in by the gates <8179> of this
<2088> house <1004> kings <4428> sitting < 3427> upon the throne
<3678> of David <1732>, riding <7392> in chariots <7393> and on
horses <5483>, he, and his servants <5650>, and his people
<5971>.



5 But if <0518> ye will not hear <8085> these < 0428> words
<1697>, I swear <7650> by myself, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>,
that this <2088> house <1004> shall become < 1961> a desolation
<2723>.



6 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> unto the king's
<4428> house <1004> of Judah <3063>; Thou [art] Gilead <1568>
unto me, [and] the head <7218> of Lebanon <3844>: [yet] surely I
will make <7896> thee a wilderness <4057>, [and] cities <5892>
[which] are not inhabited <3427>.



7 And I will prepare <6942> destroyers <7843> against <5921>
thee, every <0376> one <0376> with his weapons < 3627>: and they
shall cut <3772> down thy choice <4005> cedars < 0730>, and cast
[them] into <5921> the fire <0784>.



8 And many <7227> nations <1471> shall pass < 5674> by this
<2063> city <5892>, and they shall say <0559> every man <0376>
to his neighbour <7453>, Wherefore hath the LORD < 3068> done
<6213> thus <3602> unto this <2063> great < 1419> city <5892>?



9 Then they shall answer <0559>, Because they have forsaken
<5800> the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068> their God <0430>,
and worshipped <7812> other <0312> gods <0430>, and served
<5647> them.



10. Weep <1058> ye not for the dead <4191>, neither <0408>
bemoan <5110> him: [but] weep <1058> sore for him that goeth
<1980> away: for he shall return <7725> no < 3808> more <5750>,
nor see <7200> his native <4138> country <0776>.



11 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> touching <0413>
Shallum <7967> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of
Judah <3063>, which reigned <4427> instead < 8478> of Josiah
<2977> his father <1>, which <0834> went < 3318> forth <3318> out
of this <2088> place <4725>; He shall not return < 7725> thither
<8033> any more <5750>:



12 But he shall die <4191> in the place <4725> whither they
have led him captive <1540>, and shall see <7200> this <2063>
land <0776> no <3808> more <5750>.



13 Woe <1945> unto him that buildeth <1129> his house <1004> by
unrighteousness, and his chambers <5944> by wrong; [that] useth
his neighbour's <7453> service <5647> without < 2600> wages
<2600>, and giveth <5414> him not for his work < 6467>;



14 That saith <0559>, I will build <1129> me a wide <4060>
house <1004> and large <7304> chambers <5944>, and cutteth
<7167> him out windows <2474>; and [it is] cieled < 5603> with
cedar <0730>, and painted <4886> with vermilion < 8350>.



15 Shalt thou reign <4427>, because <3588> thou closest <8474>
[thyself] in cedar <0730>? did not thy father <1> eat <0398> and
drink <8354>, and do <6213> judgment <4941> and justice <6666>,
[and] then <0227> [it was] well <2896> with him?



16 He judged <1777> the cause <1779> of the poor < 6041> and
needy <34>; then <0227> [it was] well <2896> [with him: was] not
this <1931> to know <1847> me? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



17 But thine eyes <5869> and thine heart <3820> [are] not but
for thy covetousness <1215>, and for to shed <8210> innocent
<5355> blood <1818>, and for oppression <6233>, and for violence
<4835>, to do <6213> [it].



18 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>
concerning <0413> Jehoiakim <3079> the son < 1121> of Josiah
<2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; They shall not lament <5594>
for him, [saying], Ah <1945> my brother <0251>! or, Ah <1945>
sister <0269>! they shall not lament <5594> for him, [saying],
Ah <1945> lord <0113>! or, Ah <1945> his glory <1935>!



19 He shall be buried <6912> with the burial <6900> of an ass
<2543>, drawn <5498> and cast <7993> forth beyond <1973> the
gates <8179> of Jerusalem <3389>.



20. Go <5927> up to Lebanon <3844>, and cry < 6817>; and lift
<5414> up thy voice <6963> in Bashan <1316>, and cry <6817> from
the passages <5676>: for all <3605> thy lovers < 0157> are
destroyed <7665>.



21 I spake <1696> unto thee in thy prosperity <7962>; [but]
thou saidst <0559>, I will not hear <8085>. This < 2088> [hath
been] thy manner <1870> from thy youth <5271>, that thou
obeyedst <8085> not my voice <6963>.



22 The wind <7307> shall eat <7462> up all < 3605> thy pastors
<7462>, and thy lovers <0157> shall go <3212> into captivity
<7628>: surely <3588> then <0227> shalt thou be ashamed <0954>
and confounded <3637> for all <3605> thy wickedness <7451>.



23 O inhabitant <3427> of Lebanon <3844>, that makest thy nest
<7077> in the cedars <0730>, how <4100> gracious <2603> shalt
thou be when pangs <2256> come <0935> upon thee, the pain <2427>
as of a woman in travail <3205>!



24 [As] I live <2416>, saith <5002> the LORD < 3068>, though
<0518> Coniah <3659> the son <1121> of Jehoiakim <3079> king
<4428> of Judah <3063> were the signet <2368> upon my right
<3225> hand <3027>, yet <3588> would I pluck <5423> thee thence
<8033>;



25 And I will give <5414> thee into the hand <3027> of them
that seek <1245> thy life <5315>, and into the hand <3027> [of
them] whose face <6440> thou fearest <1481>, even into the hand
<3027> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>,
and into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>.



26 And I will cast <2904> thee out, and thy mother < 0517> that
bare <3205> thee, into <5921> another <0312> country <0776>,
where ye were not born <3205>; and there <8033> shall ye die
<4191>.



27 But to the land <0776> whereunto <0834> they desire to
return <7725>, thither <8033> shall they not return <7725>.



28 [Is] this <2088> man <0376> Coniah <3659> a despised <0959>
broken <5310> idol <6089>? [is he] a vessel < 3627> wherein [is]
no <0363> pleasure <2656>? wherefore <4069> are they cast <7993>
out, he and his seed <2233>, and are cast <2904> into <5921> a
land <0776> which <0834> they know <3045> not?



29 O earth <0776>, earth <0776>, earth <0776>, hear <8085> the
word <1697> of the LORD <3068>.



30 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Write <3789> ye
this <2088> man <0376> childless <6185>, a man <1397> [that]
shall not prosper <6743> in his days <3117>: for no <3808> man
<0376> of his seed <2233> shall prosper <6743>, sitting <3427>
upon the throne <3678> of David <1732>, and ruling <4910> any
more <5750> in Judah <3063>.



Jeremiah 23



1. Woe <1945> be unto the pastors <7462> that destroy <6> and
scatter <6327> the sheep <6629> of my pasture < 4830>! saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>.



2 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God
<0430> of Israel <3478> against <5921> the pastors <7462> that
feed <7462> my people <5971>; Ye have scattered < 6327> my flock
<6629>, and driven <5080> them away, and have not visited <6485>
them: behold <2005>, I will visit <6485> upon you the evil
<7455> of your doings <4611>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



3 And I will gather <6908> the remnant <7611> of my flock
<6629> out of all <3605> countries <0776> whither I have driven
<5080> them, and will bring <7725> them again < 7725> to their
folds <5116>; and they shall be fruitful <6509> and increase
<7235>.



4 And I will set <6965> up shepherds <7462> over < 5921> them
which shall feed <7462> them: and they shall fear < 3372> no
<3808> more <5750>, nor <3808> be dismayed < 2865>, neither
<3808> shall they be lacking <6485>, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>.



5 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the
LORD <3068>, that I will raise <6965> unto David < 1732> a
righteous <6662> Branch <6780>, and a King < 4428> shall reign
<4427> and prosper <7919>, and shall execute < 6213> judgment
<4941> and justice <6666> in the earth <0776>.



6 In his days <3117> Judah <3063> shall be saved < 3467>, and
Israel <3478> shall dwell <7931> safely <0983>: and this <2088>
[is] his name <8034> whereby <0834> he shall be called <7121>,
THE LORD <3068> OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS <6664>.



7 Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days < 3117> come <0935>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that they shall no < 3808> more
<5750> say <0559>, The LORD <3068> liveth < 2416>, which <0834>
brought <5927> up the children <1121> of Israel < 3478> out of
the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>;



8 But, The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, which < 0834> brought
<5927> up and which <0834> led <0935> the seed <2233> of the
house <1004> of Israel <3478> out of the north < 6828> country
<0776>, and from all <3605> countries <0776> whither I had
driven <5080> them; and they shall dwell <3427> in their own
land <0127>.



9. Mine heart <3820> within <7130> me is broken < 7665> because
of the prophets <5030>; all <3605> my bones < 6106> shake <7363>;
I am like a drunken <7910> man <0376>, and like a man <1397>
whom wine <3196> hath overcome <5674>, because < 6440> of the
LORD <3068>, and because <3588> of the words < 1697> of his
holiness <6944>.



10 For the land <0776> is full <4390> of adulterers <5003>; for
because <6440> of swearing <0423> the land < 0776> mourneth <56>;
the pleasant <4999> places of the wilderness <4057> are dried
<3001> up, and their course <4794> is evil < 7451>, and their
force <1369> [is] not right.



11 For both <1571> prophet <5030> and priest < 3548> are profane
<2610>; yea <1571>, in my house <1004> have I found <4672> their
wickedness <7451>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



12 Wherefore <3651> their way <1870> shall be unto them as
slippery <2519> [ways] in the darkness <0653>: they shall be
driven <1760> on, and fall <5307> therein: for I will bring
<0935> evil <7451> upon them, [even] the year < 8141> of their
visitation <6486>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



13 And I have seen <7200> folly <8604> in the prophets <5030>
of Samaria <8111>; they prophesied <5012> in Baal < 1168>, and
caused my people <5971> Israel <3478> to err < 8582>.



14 I have seen <7200> also in the prophets <5030> of Jerusalem
<3389> an horrible <8186> thing: they commit < 5003> adultery
<5003>, and walk <1980> in lies <8267>: they strengthen <2388>
also the hands <3027> of evildoers <7489>, that none <1115> doth
return <7725> from his wickedness <7451>: they are all <3605> of
them unto me as Sodom <5467>, and the inhabitants < 3427> thereof
as Gomorrah <6017>.



15 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635> concerning <5921> the prophets < 5030>; Behold
<2005>, I will feed <0398> them with wormwood < 3939>, and make
them drink <8248> the water <4325> of gall < 7219>: for from the
prophets <5030> of Jerusalem <3389> is profaneness <2613> gone
<3318> forth <3318> into all <3605> the land <0776>.



16 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
Hearken <8085> not unto the words <1697> of the prophets <5030>
that prophesy <5012> unto you: they make you vain < 1891>: they
speak <1696> a vision <2377> of their own heart < 3820>, [and]
not out of the mouth <6310> of the LORD <3068>.



17 They say <0559> still unto them that despise < 5006> me, The
LORD <3068> hath said <1696>, Ye shall have < 1961> peace <7965>;
and they say <0559> unto every <3605> one that walketh <1980>
after the imagination <8307> of his own heart <3820>, No <3808>
evil <7451> shall come <0935> upon you.



18 For who <4310> hath stood <5975> in the counsel <5475> of
the LORD <3068>, and hath perceived <7200> and heard <8085> his
word <1697>? who <4310> hath marked <7181> his word <1697>, and
heard <8085> [it]?



19 Behold <2009>, a whirlwind <5591> of the LORD < 3068> is gone
<3318> forth <3318> in fury <2534>, even a grievous <2342>
whirlwind <5591>: it shall fall <2342> grievously < 2342> upon
the head <7218> of the wicked <7563>.



20 The anger <0639> of the LORD <3068> shall not return <7725>,
until <5704> he have executed <6213>, and till < 5704> he have
performed <6965> the thoughts <4209> of his heart < 3820>: in the
latter <0319> days <3117> ye shall consider < 0995> it perfectly
<0998>.



21 I have not sent <7971> these prophets <5030>, yet they ran
<7323>: I have not spoken <1696> to them, yet they prophesied
<5012>.



22 But if they had stood <5975> in my counsel <5475>, and had
caused my people <5971> to hear <8085> my words < 1697>, then
they should have turned <7725> them from their evil < 7451> way
<1870>, and from the evil <7455> of their doings < 4611>.



23 [Am] I a God <0430> at hand <7138>, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>, and not a God <0430> afar <7350> off?



24 Can any <0376> hide <5641> himself in secret < 4565> places
that I shall not see <7200> him? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.
Do not I fill <4390> heaven <8064> and earth < 0776>? saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>.



25 I have heard <8085> what the prophets <5030> said <0559>,
that prophesy <5012> lies <8267> in my name < 8034>, saying
<0559>, I have dreamed <2492>, I have dreamed < 2492>.



26 How <5704> long <5704> shall [this] be in the heart <3820>
of the prophets <5030> that prophesy <5012> lies < 8267>? yea,
[they are] prophets <5030> of the deceit <8649> of their own
heart <3820>;



27 Which think <2803> to cause my people <5971> to forget
<7911> my name <8034> by their dreams <2472> which <0834> they
tell <5608> every man <0376> to his neighbour < 7453>, as their
fathers <1> have forgotten <7911> my name <8034> for Baal <1168>.



28 The prophet <5030> that hath a dream <2472>, let him tell
<5608> a dream <2472>; and he that hath my word < 1697>, let him
speak <1696> my word <1697> faithfully <0571>. What <4100> [is]
the chaff <8401> to the wheat <1250>? saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>.



29 [Is] not my word <1697> like <3541> as a fire < 0784>? saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>; and like a hammer <6360> [that] breaketh
<6327> the rock <5553> in pieces?



30 Therefore <3651>, behold <2005>, I [am] against <5921> the
prophets <5030>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that steal <1589>
my words <1697> every <0376> one <0376> from his neighbour
<7453>.



31 Behold <2005>, I [am] against <5921> the prophets <5030>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that use <3747> their tongues
<3956>, and say, He saith <5002>.



32 Behold <2005>, I [am] against <5921> them that prophesy
<5012> false <8267> dreams <2472>, saith < 5002> the LORD <3068>,
and do <6213> tell <5608> them, and cause my people <5971> to
err <8582> by their lies <8267>, and by their lightness <6350>;
yet I sent <7971> them not, nor <3808> commanded < 6680> them:
therefore they shall not profit <3276> this <2088> people <5971>
at all, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



33. And when <3588> this <2088> people <5971>, or <0176> the
prophet <5030>, or <0176> a priest <3548>, shall ask <7592> thee,
saying <0559>, What <4100> [is] the burden < 4853> of the LORD
<3068>? thou shalt then say <0559> unto them, What <4100> burden
<4853>? I will even forsake <5203> you, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>.



34 And [as for] the prophet <5030>, and the priest < 3548>, and
the people <5971>, that shall say <0559>, The burden <4853> of
the LORD <3068>, I will even punish <6485> that man <0376> and
his house <1004>.



35 Thus <3541> shall ye say <0559> every <0376> one <0376> to
his neighbour <7453>, and every <0376> one < 0376> to his brother
<0251>, What <4100> hath the LORD <3068> answered <6030>? and,
What <4100> hath the LORD <3068> spoken <1696>?



36 And the burden <4853> of the LORD <3068> shall ye mention
<2142> no <3808> more <5750>: for every man's <0376> word <1697>
shall be his burden <4853>; for ye have perverted < 2015> the
words <1697> of the living <2416> God <0430>, of the LORD <3068>
of hosts <6635> our God <0430>.



37 Thus <3541> shalt thou say <0559> to the prophet <5030>,
What <4100> hath the LORD <3068> answered <6030> thee? and, What
<4100> hath the LORD <3068> spoken <1696>?



38 But since <0518> ye say <0559>, The burden < 4853> of the
LORD <3068>; therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD
<3068>; Because <3282> ye say <0559> this < 2088> word <1697>,
The burden <4853> of the LORD <3068>, and I have sent <7971>
unto you, saying <0559>, Ye shall not say <0559>, The burden
<4853> of the LORD <3068>;



39 Therefore <3651>, behold <2005>, I, even I, will utterly
forget <5382> you, and I will forsake <5203> you, and the city
<5892> that I gave <5414> you and your fathers < 1>, [and cast
you] out of my presence <6440>:



40 And I will bring <5414> an everlasting <5769> reproach
<2781> upon you, and a perpetual <5769> shame < 3640>, which
<0834> shall not be forgotten <7911>.



Jeremiah 24



1. The LORD <3068> shewed <7200> me, and, behold < 2009>, two
<8147> baskets <1736> of figs <8384> [were] set <3259> before
<6440> the temple <1964> of the LORD <3068>, after <0310> that
Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon < 0894> had carried
<1540> away captive <1540> Jeconiah <3204> the son <1121> of
Jehoiakim <3079> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and the princes
<8269> of Judah <3063>, with the carpenters < 2796> and smiths
<4525>, from Jerusalem <3389>, and had brought < 0935> them to
Babylon <0894>.



2 One <0259> basket <1731> [had] very <3966> good <2896> figs
<8384>, [even] like the figs <8384> [that are] first <1073> ripe:
and the other <0259> basket <1731> [had] very < 3966> naughty
<7451> figs <8384>, which <0834> could not be eaten <0398>, they
were so bad <7451>.



3 Then said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me, What < 4100> seest
<7200> thou, Jeremiah <3414>? And I said <0559>, Figs <8384>;
the good <2896> figs <8384>, very <3966> good <2896>; and the
evil <7451>, very <3966> evil <7451>, that cannot <3808> be
eaten <0398>, they are so evil <7455>.



4 Again the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came < 1961> unto me,
saying <0559>,



5 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of
Israel <3478>; Like these <0428> good <2896> figs <8384>, so
<3651> will I acknowledge <5234> them that are carried <1546>
away captive <1546> of Judah <3063>, whom <0834> I have sent
<7971> out of this <2088> place <4725> into the land <0776> of
the Chaldeans <3778> for [their] good <2896>.



6 For I will set <7760> mine eyes <5869> upon them for good
<2896>, and I will bring <7725> them again < 7725> to this <2063>
land <0776>: and I will build <1129> them, and not pull <2040>
[them] down; and I will plant <5193> them, and not pluck <5428>
[them] up.



7 And I will give <5414> them an heart <3820> to know <3045> me,
that I [am] the LORD <3068>: and they shall be my people <5971>,
and I will be their God <0430>: for they shall return < 7725>
unto me with their whole <3605> heart <3820>.



8 And as the evil <7451> figs <8384>, which < 0834> cannot
<3808> be eaten <0398>, they are so evil <7455>; surely <3588>
thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, So <3651> will I give
<5414> Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and his
princes <8269>, and the residue <7611> of Jerusalem <3389>, that
remain <7604> in this <2063> land <0776>, and them that dwell
<3427> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>:



9 And I will deliver <5414> them to be removed <2189> into all
<3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776> for [their] hurt
<7451>, [to be] a reproach <2781> and a proverb < 4912>, a taunt
<8148> and a curse <7045>, in all <3605> places <4725> whither I
shall drive <5080> them.



10 And I will send <7971> the sword <2719>, the famine <7458>,
and the pestilence <1698>, among them, till <5704> they be
consumed <8552> from off <5921> the land <0127> that I gave
<5414> unto them and to their fathers <1>.



Jeremiah 25



1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah < 3414>
concerning <5921> all <3605> the people <5971> of Judah <3063>
in the fourth <7243> year <8141> of Jehoiakim < 3079> the son
<1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, that [was]
the first <7224> year <8141> of Nebuchadrezzar < 5019> king
<4428> of Babylon <0894>;



2 The which <0834> Jeremiah <3414> the prophet < 5030> spake
<1696> unto all <3605> the people <5971> of Judah <3063>, and to
all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem < 3389>, saying
<0559>,



3 From the thirteenth year <8141> of Josiah <2977> the son
<1121> of Amon <0526> king <4428> of Judah < 3063>, even unto
this <2088> day <3117>, that [is] the three < 7969> and twentieth
<6242> year <8141>, the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> hath come
<1961> unto me, and I have spoken <1696> unto you, rising <7925>
early <7925> and speaking <1696>; but ye have not hearkened
<8085>.



4 And the LORD <3068> hath sent <7971> unto you all <3605> his
servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, rising < 7925> early <7925>
and sending <7971> [them]; but ye have not hearkened < 8085>, nor
<3808> inclined <5186> your ear <0241> to hear <8085>.



5 They said <0559>, Turn <7725> ye again <7725> now <4994>
every <0376> one <0376> from his evil <7451> way <1870>, and
from the evil <7455> of your doings <4611>, and dwell <3427> in
the land <0127> that the LORD <3068> hath given < 5414> unto you
and to your fathers <1> for ever <5769> and ever < 5769>:



6 And go <3212> not after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430> to
serve <5647> them, and to worship <7812> them, and provoke me
not to anger <3707> with the works <4639> of your hands <3027>;
and I will do you no <3808> hurt <7489>.



7 Yet ye have not hearkened <8085> unto me, saith < 5002> the
LORD <3068>; that ye might provoke me to anger <3707> with the
works <4639> of your hands <3027> to your own hurt <7451>.



8. Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635>; Because ye have not heard <8085> my words <1697>,



9 Behold <2005>, I will send <7971> and take < 3947> all <3605>
the families <4940> of the north <6828>, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>, and Nebuchadrezzar <5019> the king < 4428> of Babylon
<0894>, my servant <5650>, and will bring <0935> them against
<5921> this <2063> land <0776>, and against < 5921> the
inhabitants <3427> thereof, and against <5921> all <3605> these
<0428> nations <1471> round <5439> about, and will utterly
destroy <2763> them, and make <7760> them an astonishment <8047>,
and an hissing <8322>, and perpetual <5769> desolations <2723>.



10 Moreover I will take <6> from them the voice < 6963> of mirth
<8342>, and the voice <6963> of gladness <8057>, the voice
<6963> of the bridegroom <2860>, and the voice < 6963> of the
bride <3618>, the sound <6963> of the millstones < 7347>, and the
light <0216> of the candle <5216>.



11 And this <2063> whole <3605> land <0776> shall be a
desolation <2723>, [and] an astonishment <8047>; and these
<0428> nations <1471> shall serve <5647> the king <4428> of
Babylon <0894> seventy <7657> years <8141>.



12 And it shall come <1961> to pass, when seventy < 7657> years
<8141> are accomplished <4390>, [that] I will punish <6485> the
king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and that nation < 1471>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, for their iniquity < 5771>, and the land
<0776> of the Chaldeans <3778>, and will make < 7760> it
perpetual <5769> desolations <8077>.



13 And I will bring <0935> upon that land <0776> all <3605> my
words <1697> which <0834> I have pronounced < 1696> against
<5921> it, [even] all <3605> that is written < 3789> in this
<2088> book <5612>, which <0834> Jeremiah < 3414> hath prophesied
<5012> against <5921> all <3605> the nations <1471>.



14 For many <7227> nations <1471> and great < 1419> kings <4428>
shall serve <5647> themselves of them also <1571>: and I will
recompense <7999> them according to their deeds <6467> , and
according to the works <4639> of their own hands < 3027>.



15. For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD < 3068> God <0430> of
Israel <3478> unto me; Take <3947> the wine < 3196> cup <3563> of
this <2063> fury <2534> at my hand <3027>, and cause all <3605>
the nations <1471>, to whom I send <7971> thee, to drink <8248>
it.



16 And they shall drink <8354>, and be moved <1607>, and be mad
<1984>, because <6440> of the sword <2719> that I will send
<7971> among <0996> them.



17 Then took <3947> I the cup <3563> at the LORD'S <3068> hand
<3027>, and made all <3605> the nations <1471> to drink <8248>,
unto whom the LORD <3068> had sent <7971> me:



18 [To wit], Jerusalem <3389>, and the cities <5892> of Judah
<3063>, and the kings <4428> thereof, and the princes <8269>
thereof, to make <5414> them a desolation <2723>, an
astonishment <8047>, an hissing <8322>, and a curse <7045>; as
[it is] this <2088> day <3117>;



19 Pharaoh <6547> king <4428> of Egypt <4714>, and his servants
<5650>, and his princes <8269>, and all <3605> his people <5971>;



20 And all <3605> the mingled <6154> people, and all <3605> the
kings <4428> of the land <0776> of Uz <5780>, and all <3605> the
kings <4428> of the land <0776> of the Philistines <6430>, and
Ashkelon <0831>, and Azzah <5804>, and Ekron < 6138>, and the
remnant <7611> of Ashdod <0795>,



21 Edom <0123>, and Moab <4124>, and the children <1121> of
Ammon <5983>,



22 And all <3605> the kings <4428> of Tyrus < 6865>, and all
<3605> the kings <4428> of Zidon <6721>, and the kings <4428> of
the isles <0339> which <0834> [are] beyond < 5676> the sea <3220>,



23 Dedan <1719>, and Tema <8485>, and Buz < 0938>, and all
<3605> [that are] in the utmost <7112> corners < 6285>,



24 And all <3605> the kings <4428> of Arabia < 6152>, and all
<3605> the kings <4428> of the mingled <6154> people that dwell
<7931> in the desert <4057>,



25 And all <3605> the kings <4428> of Zimri < 2174>, and all
<3605> the kings <4428> of Elam <5867>, and all <3605> the kings
<4428> of the Medes <4074>,



26 And all <3605> the kings <4428> of the north < 6828>, far
<7350> and near <7138>, one <0376> with another <0250>, and all
<3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the world <0776>, which <0834>
[are] upon the face <6440> of the earth <0127>: and the king
<4428> of Sheshach <8347> shall drink <8354> after <0310> them.



27 Therefore thou shalt say <0559> unto them, Thus < 3541> saith
<0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel
<3478>; Drink <8354> ye, and be drunken <7937>, and spue <7006>,
and fall <5307>, and rise <6965> no <3808> more, because <6440>
of the sword <2719> which <0834> I will send < 7971> among <0996>
you.



28 And it shall be, if they refuse <3985> to take < 3947> the
cup <3563> at thine hand <3027> to drink <8354>, then shalt thou
say <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>
of hosts <6635>; Ye shall certainly drink <8354>.



29 For, lo <2009>, I begin <2490> to bring evil < 7489> on the
city <5892> which <0834> is called <7121> by my name <8034>, and
should ye be utterly unpunished <5352>? Ye shall not be
unpunished <5352>: for I will call <7121> for a sword <2719>
upon all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of the earth <0776>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.



30. Therefore prophesy <5012> thou against <0413> them all
<3605> these <0428> words <1697>, and say < 0559> unto them, The
LORD <3068> shall roar <7580> from on high < 4791>, and utter
<5414> his voice <6963> from his holy <6944> habitation <4583>;
he shall mightily roar <7580> upon his habitation < 5116>; he
shall give a shout, as they that tread <1869> [the grapes],
against <0413> all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of the earth
<0776>.



31 A noise <7588> shall come <0935> [even] to the ends <7097>
of the earth <0776>; for the LORD <3068> hath a controversy
<7379> with the nations <1471>, he will plead < 8199> with all
<3605> flesh <1320>; he will give <5414> them [that are] wicked
<7563> to the sword <2719>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



32 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
Behold <2009>, evil <7451> shall go <3318> forth <3318> from
nation <1471> to nation <1471>, and a great < 1419> whirlwind
<5591> shall be raised <5782> up from the coasts < 3411> of the
earth <0776>.



33 And the slain <2491> of the LORD <3068> shall be at that day
<3117> from [one] end <7097> of the earth <0776> even unto the
[other] end <7097> of the earth <0776>: they shall not be
lamented <5594>, neither <3808> gathered <0622>, nor <3808>
buried <6912>; they shall be dung <1828> upon the ground <0127>.



34 Howl <3213>, ye shepherds <7462>, and cry < 2199>; and wallow
<6428> yourselves [in the ashes], ye principal <0117> of the
flock <6629>: for the days <3117> of your slaughter <2873> and
of your dispersions <8600> are accomplished <4390>; and ye shall
fall <5307> like a pleasant <2532> vessel <3627> .



35 And the shepherds <7462> shall have no <4480> way <4498> to
flee <4498>, nor the principal <0117> of the flock <6629> to
escape <6413>.



36 A voice <6963> of the cry <6818> of the shepherds <7462>,
and an howling <3213> of the principal <0117> of the flock
<6629>, [shall be heard <8085>]: for the LORD < 3068> hath
spoiled <7703> their pasture <4830>.



37 And the peaceable <7965> habitations <4999> are cut <1826>
down because <6440> of the fierce <2740> anger < 0639> of the
LORD <3068>.



38 He hath forsaken <5800> his covert <5520>, as the lion
<3715>: for their land <0776> is desolate <8047> because <6440>
of the fierceness <2740> of the oppressor <3238>, and because
<6440> of his fierce <2740> anger <0639>.



Jeremiah 26



1. In the beginning <7225> of the reign <4468> of Jehoiakim
<3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king < 4428> of Judah
<3063> came <1961> this <2088> word <1697> from the LORD <3068>,
saying <0559>,



2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Stand <5975> in the
court <2691> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>, and speak <1696>
unto all <3605> the cities <5892> of Judah < 3063>, which come
<0935> to worship <7812> in the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>, all
<3605> the words <1697> that I command <6680> thee to speak
<1696> unto them; diminish <1639> not a word < 1697>:



3 If <0194> so be they will hearken <8085>, and turn <7725>
every man <0376> from his evil <7451> way <1870> , that I may
repent <5162> me of the evil <7451>, which < 0834> I purpose
<2803> to do <6213> unto them because <6440> of the evil <7455>
of their doings <4611>.



4 And thou shalt say <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559>
the LORD <3068>; If <0518> ye will not hearken < 8085> to me, to
walk <1980> in my law <8451>, which <0834> I have set <5414>
before <6440> you,



5 To hearken <8085> to the words <1697> of my servants <5650>
the prophets <5030>, whom <0834> I sent <7971> unto you, both
rising <7925> up early <7925>, and sending < 7971> [them], but ye
have not hearkened <8085>;



6 Then will I make <5414> this <2088> house < 1004> like Shiloh
<7887>, and will make <5414> this <2063> city <5892> a curse
<7045> to all <3605> the nations <1471> of the earth <0776>.



7. So the priests <3548> and the prophets <5030> and all <3605>
the people <5971> heard <8085> Jeremiah <3414> speaking <1696>
these <0428> words <1697> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.



8 Now it came <1961> to pass, when Jeremiah <3414> had made an
end <3615> of speaking <1696> all <3605> that the LORD <3068>
had commanded <6680> [him] to speak <1696> unto all <3605> the
people <5971>, that the priests <3548> and the prophets <5030>
and all <3605> the people <5971> took <8610> him, saying <0559>,
Thou shalt surely die <4191>.



9 Why <4069> hast thou prophesied <5012> in the name <8034> of
the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, This <2088> house <1004> shall
be like Shiloh <7887>, and this <2063> city < 5892> shall be
desolate <2717> without <0369> an inhabitant < 3427>? And all
<3605> the people <5971> were gathered <6950> against <0413>
Jeremiah <3414> in the house <1004> of the LORD < 3068>.



10 When the princes <8269> of Judah <3063> heard < 8085> these
<0428> things <1697>, then they came <5927> up from the king's
<4428> house <1004> unto the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>,
and sat <3427> down in the entry <6607> of the new <2319> gate
<8179> of the LORD'S <3068> [house].



11 Then spake <0559> the priests <3548> and the prophets <5030>
unto the princes <8269> and to all <3605> the people <5971>,
saying <0559>, This <2088> man <0376> [is] worthy to die <4194>;
for he hath prophesied <5012> against <0413> this < 2063> city
<5892>, as ye have heard <8085> with your ears < 0241>.



12 Then spake <0559> Jeremiah <3414> unto all < 3605> the
princes <8269> and to all <3605> the people < 5971>, saying
<0559>, The LORD <3068> sent <7971> me to prophesy <5012>
against <0413> this <2088> house <1004> and against <0413> this
<2063> city <5892> all <3605> the words < 1697> that ye have
heard <8085>.



13 Therefore now <6258> amend <3190> your ways < 1870> and your
doings <4611>, and obey <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD
<3068> your God <0430>; and the LORD <3068> will repent <5162>
him of the evil <7451> that he hath pronounced <1696> against
<5921> you.



14 As for me, behold <2005>, I [am] in your hand < 3027>: do
<6213> with me as seemeth <5869> good <2896> and meet <3477>
unto you.



15 But know <3045> ye for certain <3045>, that if <0518> ye put
me to death <4191>, ye shall surely <3588> bring < 5414> innocent
<5355> blood <1818> upon yourselves, and upon this <2063> city
<5892>, and upon the inhabitants <3427> thereof: for of a truth
<0571> the LORD <3068> hath sent <7971> me unto you to speak
<1696> all <3605> these <0428> words < 1697> in your ears <0241>.



16. Then said <0559> the princes <8269> and all < 3605> the
people <5971> unto the priests <3548> and to the prophets <5030>;
This <2088> man <0376> [is] not worthy to die < 4194>: for he
hath spoken <1696> to us in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>
our God <0430>.



17 Then rose <6965> up certain <0582> of the elders <2205> of
the land <0776>, and spake <0559> to all <3605> the assembly
<6951> of the people <5971>, saying <0559>,



18 Micah <4320> the Morasthite <4183> prophesied < 5012> in the
days <3117> of Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and
spake <0559> to all <3605> the people <5971> of Judah <3063>,
saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts
<6635>; Zion <6726> shall be plowed <2790> [like] a field <7704>,
and Jerusalem <3389> shall become <1961> heaps < 5856>, and the
mountain <2022> of the house <1004> as the high < 1116> places of
a forest <3293>.



19 Did Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah < 3063> and all
<3605> Judah <3063> put him at all <3605> to death <4191>? did
he not fear <3373> the LORD <3068>, and besought < 2470> the LORD
<3068>, and the LORD <3068> repented <5162> him of the evil
<7451> which <0834> he had pronounced <1696> against <5921>
them? Thus might we procure <6213> great <1419> evil <7451>
against <5921> our souls <5315>.



20 And there was also <1571> a man <0376> that prophesied
<5012> in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>, Urijah <0223> the
son <1121> of Shemaiah <8098> of Kirjathjearim < 7157>, who
prophesied <5012> against <5921> this <2063> city <5892> and
against <5921> this <2063> land <0776> according to all <3605>
the words <1697> of Jeremiah <3414>:



21 And when Jehoiakim <3079> the king <4428>, with all <3605>
his mighty <1368> men, and all <3605> the princes < 8269>, heard
<8085> his words <1697>, the king <4428> sought <1245> to put
him to death <4191>: but when Urijah <0223> heard < 8085> it, he
was afraid <3372>, and fled <1272>, and went < 0935> into Egypt
<4714>;



22 And Jehoiakim <3079> the king <4428> sent < 7971> men <0582>
into Egypt <4714>, [namely], Elnathan <0494> the son <1121> of
Achbor <5907>, and [certain] men <0582> with him into <0413>
Egypt <4714>.



23 And they fetched <3318> forth <3318> Urijah < 0223> out of
Egypt <4714>, and brought <0935> him unto Jehoiakim <3079> the
king <4428>; who slew <5221> him with the sword < 2719>, and cast
<7993> his dead <5038> body <5038> into < 0413> the graves <6913>
of the common <1121> people <5971>.



24 Nevertheless <0389> the hand <3027> of Ahikam < 0296> the son
<1121> of Shaphan <8227> was with Jeremiah < 3414>, that they
should not give <5414> him into the hand <3027> of the people
<5971> to put him to death <4191>.



Jeremiah 27



1. In the beginning <7225> of the reign <4467> of Jehoiakim
<3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king < 4428> of Judah
<3063> came <1961> this <2088> word <1697> unto Jeremiah <3414>
from the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>,



2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> to me; Make <6213>
thee bonds <4147> and yokes <4133>, and put < 5414> them upon thy
neck <6677>,



3 And send <7971> them to the king <4428> of Edom <0123>, and
to the king <4428> of Moab <4124>, and to the king <4428> of the
Ammonites <5984>, and to the king <4428> of Tyrus < 6865>, and to
the king <4428> of Zidon <6721>, by the hand < 3027> of the
messengers <4397> which come <0935> to Jerusalem < 3389> unto
Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063>;



4 And command <6680> them to say <0559> unto their masters
<0113>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD < 3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Thus <3541> shall ye say
<0559> unto your masters <0113>;



5 I have made <6213> the earth <0776>, the man < 0120> and the
beast <0929> that [are] upon the ground <0776>, by my great
<1419> power <3581> and by my outstretched < 5186> arm <2220>,
and have given <5414> it unto whom <0834> it seemed <5869> meet
<3474> unto me.



6 And now <6258> have I given <5414> all <3605> these <0428>
lands <0776> into <0413> the hand <3027> of Nebuchadnezzar
<5019> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, my servant <5650>; and
the beasts <2416> of the field <7704> have I given <5414> him
also <1571> to serve <5647> him.



7 And all <3605> nations <1471> shall serve < 5647> him, and his
son <1121>, and his son's <1121> son <1121>, until <5704> the
very time <6256> of his land <0776> come <0935>: and then many
<7227> nations <1471> and great <1419> kings <4428> shall serve
<5647> themselves of him.



8 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] the nation < 1471>
and kingdom <4467> which <0834> will not serve < 5647> the same
Nebuchadnezzar <5019> the king <4428> of Babylon < 0894>, and
that will not put <5414> their neck <6677> under the yoke <5923>
of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, that nation < 1471> will I
punish <6485>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, with the sword
<2719>, and with the famine <7458>, and with the pestilence
<1698>, until <5704> I have consumed <8552> them by his hand
<3027>.



9 Therefore hearken <8085> not ye to your prophets < 5030>, nor
to your diviners <7080>, nor to your dreamers <2492>, nor to
your enchanters <6049>, nor to your sorcerers <3786>, which
<0834> speak <0559> unto you, saying <0559>, Ye shall not serve
<5647> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>:



10 For they prophesy <5012> a lie <8267> unto you, to remove
<7368> you far <7368> from your land <0127>; and that I should
drive <5080> you out, and ye should perish <6>.



11 But the nations <1471> that bring <0935> their neck <6677>
under the yoke <5923> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and
serve <5647> him, those will I let remain <3241> still in their
own land <0127>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; and they shall
till <5647> it, and dwell <3427> therein.



12. I spake <1696> also to Zedekiah <6667> king < 4428> of Judah
<3063> according to all <3605> these <0428> words <1697>, saying
<0559>, Bring <0935> your necks <6677> under the yoke <5923> of
the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and serve < 5647> him and his
people <5971>, and live <2421>.



13 Why <4100> will ye die <4191>, thou and thy people <5971>,
by the sword <2719>, by the famine <7458>, and by the pestilence
<1698>, as the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696> against <0413> the
nation <1471> that will not serve <5647> the king < 4428> of
Babylon <0894>?



14 Therefore hearken <8085> not unto the words <1697> of the
prophets <5030> that speak <0559> unto you, saying <0559>, Ye
shall not serve <5647> the king <4428> of Babylon < 0894>: for
they prophesy <5012> a lie <8267> unto you.



15 For I have not sent <7971> them, saith <5002> the LORD
<3068>, yet they prophesy <5012> a lie <8267> in my name <8034>;
that I might drive <5080> you out, and that ye might perish <6>,
ye, and the prophets <5030> that prophesy <5012> unto you.



16 Also I spake <1696> to the priests <3548> and to all <3605>
this <2088> people <5971>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith
<0559> the LORD <3068>; Hearken <8085> not to the words <1697>
of your prophets <5030> that prophesy <5012> unto you, saying
<0559>, Behold <2009>, the vessels <3627> of the LORD'S <3068>
house <1004> shall now <6258> shortly <4120> be brought <7725>
again <7725> from Babylon <0894>: for they prophesy <5012> a lie
<8267> unto you.



17 Hearken <8085> not unto them; serve <5647> the king <4428>
of Babylon <0894>, and live <2421>: wherefore < 4100> should this
<2063> city <5892> be laid waste <2723>?



18 But if <0518> they [be] prophets <5030>, and if <0518> the
word <1697> of the LORD <3068> be with them, let them now <4994>
make intercession <6293> to the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
that the vessels <3627> which are left <3498> in the house
<1004> of the LORD <3068>, and [in] the house < 1004> of the king
<4428> of Judah <3063>, and at Jerusalem <3389>, go <0935> not
to Babylon <0894>.



19 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>
concerning <5921> the pillars <5982>, and concerning <5921> the
sea <3220>, and concerning <5921> the bases < 4369>, and
concerning <5921> the residue <3499> of the vessels <3627> that
remain <3498> in this <2063> city <5892>,



20 Which <0834> Nebuchadnezzar <5019> king < 4428> of Babylon
<0894> took <3947> not, when he carried <1546> away captive
<1540> Jeconiah <3204> the son <1121> of Jehoiakim <3079> king
<4428> of Judah <3063> from Jerusalem <3389> to Babylon <0894>,
and all <3605> the nobles <2715> of Judah <3063> and Jerusalem
<3389>;



21 Yea <3588>, thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, concerning <5921>
the vessels <3627> that remain <3498> [in] the house <1004> of
the LORD <3068>, and [in] the house <1004> of the king <4428> of
Judah <3063> and of Jerusalem <3389>;



22 They shall be carried <0935> to Babylon <0894>, and there
<8033> shall they be until <5704> the day <3117> that I visit
<6485> them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; then will I bring
<5927> them up, and restore <7725> them to this < 2008> place
<4725>.



Jeremiah 28



1. And it came <1961> to pass the same <1931> year <8141>, in
the beginning <7225> of the reign <4467> of Zedekiah <6667> king
<4428> of Judah <3063>, in the fourth <7243> year <8141>, [and]
in the fifth <2549> month <2320>, [that] Hananiah < 2608> the son
<1121> of Azur <5809> the prophet <5030>, which <0834> [was] of
Gibeon <1391>, spake <0559> unto me in the house < 1004> of the
LORD <3068>, in the presence <5869> of the priests <3548> and of
all <3605> the people <5971>, saying <0559>,



2 Thus <3541> speaketh <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, I have broken
<7665> the yoke <5923> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>.



3 Within <5750> two full <3117> years <8141> will I bring
<7725> again <7725> into this <2008> place < 4725> all <3605> the
vessels <3627> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004> , that
Nebuchadnezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon < 0894> took <3947>
away from this <2008> place <4725>, and carried < 0935> them to
Babylon <0894>:



4 And I will bring <7725> again <7725> to this < 2008> place
<4725> Jeconiah <3204> the son <1121> of Jehoiakim <3079> king
<4428> of Judah <3063>, with all <3605> the captives <1546> of
Judah <3063>, that went <0935> into Babylon < 0894>, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>: for I will break <7665> the yoke < 5923> of the
king <4428> of Babylon <0894>.



5 Then the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414> said < 0559> unto the
prophet <5030> Hananiah <2608> in the presence < 5869> of the
priests <3548>, and in the presence <5869> of all < 3605> the
people <5971> that stood <5975> in the house < 1004> of the LORD
<3068>,



6 Even the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414> said < 0559>, Amen
<0543>: the LORD <3068> do <6213> so < 3651>: the LORD <3068>
perform <6965> thy words <1697> which <0834> thou hast
prophesied <5012>, to bring <7725> again <7725> the vessels
<3627> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>, and all <3605> that is
carried <1473> away captive <1473>, from Babylon < 0894> into
<0413> this <2008> place <4725>.



7 Nevertheless <0389> hear <8085> thou now < 4994> this <2008>
word <1697> that I speak <1696> in thine ears < 0241>, and in the
ears <0241> of all <3605> the people <5971>;



8 The prophets <5030> that have been <1961> before <6440> me
and before <6440> thee of old <5769> prophesied < 5012> both
against <0413> many <7227> countries <0776>, and against <5921>
great <1419> kingdoms <4467>, of war <4421>, and of evil <7451>,
and of pestilence <1698>.



9 The prophet <5030> which <0834> prophesieth < 5012> of peace
<7965>, when the word <1697> of the prophet < 5030> shall come
<0935> to pass, [then] shall the prophet <5030> be known <3045>,
that the LORD <3068> hath truly <0571> sent < 7971> him.



10. Then Hananiah <2608> the prophet <5030> took < 3947> the
yoke <4133> from off <5921> the prophet <5030> Jeremiah's <3414>
neck <6677>, and brake <7665> it.



11 And Hananiah <2608> spake <0559> in the presence <5869> of
all <3605> the people <5971>, saying <0559>, Thus <3602> saith
<0559> the LORD <3068>; Even <3602> so < 3602> will I break
<7665> the yoke <5923> of Nebuchadnezzar <5019> king <4428> of
Babylon <0894> from the neck <6677> of all < 3605> nations <1471>
within <5750> the space <5750> of two full < 3117> years <8141>.
And the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414> went < 3212> his way
<1870>.



12 Then the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came < 1961> unto
Jeremiah <3414> [the prophet], after <0310> that Hananiah <2608>
the prophet <5030> had broken <7665> the yoke < 4133> from off
<5921> the neck <6677> of the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414>,
saying <0559>,



13 Go <1980> and tell <0559> Hananiah <2608>, saying <0559>,
Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Thou hast broken
<7665> the yokes <4133> of wood <6086>; but thou shalt make
<6213> for them yokes <4133> of iron <1270>.



14 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; I have put < 5414> a yoke
<5923> of iron <1270> upon the neck <6677> of all <3605> these
<0428> nations <1471>, that they may serve < 5647> Nebuchadnezzar
<5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>; and they shall serve
<5647> him: and I have given <5414> him the beasts <2416> of the
field <7704> also <1571>.



15 Then said <0559> the prophet <5030> Jeremiah < 3414> unto
Hananiah <2608> the prophet <5030>, Hear <8085> now <4994>,
Hananiah <2608>; The LORD <3068> hath not sent < 7971> thee; but
thou makest this <2008> people <5971> to trust < 0982> in a lie
<8267>.



16 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>;
Behold <2005>, I will cast <7971> thee from off < 5921> the face
<6440> of the earth <0127>: this year <8141> thou shalt die
<4191>, because <3588> thou hast taught <1696> rebellion <5627>
against <0413> the LORD <3068>.



17 So Hananiah <2608> the prophet <5030> died < 4191> the same
<1931> year <8141> in the seventh <7637> month <2320>.



Jeremiah 29



1. Now these <0428> [are] the words <1697> of the letter <5612>
that Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> sent < 7971> from
Jerusalem <3389> unto the residue <3499> of the elders <2205>
which were carried <1473> away captives <1473>, and to the
priests <3548>, and to the prophets <5030>, and to all <3605>
the people <5971> whom <0834> Nebuchadnezzar < 5019> had carried
<1540> away captive <1473> from Jerusalem <3389> to Babylon
<0894>;



2 (After that Jeconiah <3204> the king <4428>, and the queen
<1377>, and the eunuchs <5631>, the princes < 8269> of Judah
<3063> and Jerusalem <3389>, and the carpenters < 2796>, and the
smiths <4525>, were departed <3318> from Jerusalem <3389>;)



3 By the hand <3027> of Elasah <0501> the son < 1121> of Shaphan
<8227>, and Gemariah <1587> the son <1121> of Hilkiah <2518>,
(whom Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah < 3063> sent <7971>
unto Babylon <0894> to Nebuchadnezzar <5019> king < 4428> of
Babylon <0894>) saying <0559>,



4 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the
God <0430> of Israel <3478>, unto all <3605> that are carried
<1473> away captives <1473>, whom <0834> I have caused to be
carried <1540> away from Jerusalem <3389> unto Babylon <0894>;



5 Build <1129> ye houses <1004>, and dwell < 3427> [in them];
and plant <5193> gardens <1593>, and eat <0398> the fruit <6529>
of them;



6 Take <3947> ye wives <0802>, and beget <3205> sons <1121> and
daughters <1121>; and take <3947> wives <0802> for your sons
<1121>, and give <5414> your daughters <1121> to husbands <0582>,
that they may bear <3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1121>;
that ye may be increased <7235> there <8033>, and not diminished
<4591>.



7 And seek <1875> the peace <7965> of the city < 5892> whither I
have caused you to be carried <1540> away captives < 1540>, and
pray <6419> unto the LORD <3068> for it: for in the peace <7965>
thereof shall ye have peace <7965>.



8. For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Let not your prophets <5030>
and your diviners <7080>, that [be] in the midst < 7130> of you,
deceive <5377> you, neither <0408> hearken < 8085> to your dreams
<2472> which <0834> ye cause to be dreamed < 2492>.



9 For they prophesy <5012> falsely <8267> unto you in my name
<8034>: I have not sent <7971> them, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>.



10 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> , That after
<6310> seventy <7657> years <8141> be accomplished <4390> at
Babylon <0894> I will visit <6485> you, and perform <6965> my
good <2896> word <1697> toward <5921> you, in causing you to
return <7725> to this <2088> place <4725>.



11 For I know <3045> the thoughts <4284> that I think <2803>
toward <5921> you, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, thoughts <4284>
of peace <7965>, and not of evil <7451>, to give < 5414> you an
expected <8615> end <0319>.



12 Then shall ye call <7121> upon me, and ye shall go < 1980>
and pray <6419> unto me, and I will hearken <8085> unto you.



13 And ye shall seek <1245> me, and find <4672> [me], when
<3588> ye shall search <1875> for me with all < 3605> your heart
<3824>.



14 And I will be found <4672> of you, saith <5002> the LORD
<3068>: and I will turn <7725> away your captivity <7622>, and I
will gather <6908> you from all <3605> the nations <1471>, and
from all <3605> the places <4725> whither I have driven <5080>
you, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; and I will bring <7725> you
again <7725> into <0413> the place <4725> whence I caused you to
be carried <1540> away captive <1540>.



15. Because <3588> ye have said <0559>, The LORD < 3068> hath
raised <6965> us up prophets <5030> in Babylon < 0894>;



16 [Know] that thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD < 3068> of the
king <4428> that sitteth <3427> upon the throne < 3678> of David
<1732>, and of all <3605> the people <5971> that dwelleth <3427>
in this <2063> city <5892>, [and] of your brethren <0251> that
are not gone <3318> forth <3318> with you into captivity <1473>;



17 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;
Behold <2005>, I will send <7971> upon them the sword <2719>,
the famine <7458>, and the pestilence <1698>, and will make
<5414> them like vile <8182> figs <8384>, that cannot <3808> be
eaten <0398>, they are so evil <7455>.



18 And I will persecute them with the sword <2719>, with the
famine <7458>, and with the pestilence <1698>, and will deliver
<5414> them to be removed <2189> to all <3605> the kingdoms
<4467> of the earth <0776>, to be a curse <0423> , and an
astonishment <8047>, and an hissing <8322>, and a reproach
<2781>, among all <3605> the nations <1471> whither I have
driven <5080> them:



19 Because they have not hearkened <8085> to my words < 1697>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, which <0834> I sent <7971> unto
them by my servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, rising <7925> up
early <7925> and sending <7971> [them]; but ye would not hear
<8085>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



20 Hear <8085> ye therefore the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>,
all <3605> ye of the captivity <1473>, whom < 0834> I have sent
<7971> from Jerusalem <3389> to Babylon <0894>:



21 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, of Ahab <0256> the son <1121>
of Kolaiah <6964>, and of Zedekiah <6667> the son < 1121> of
Maaseiah <4641>, which prophesy <5012> a lie < 8267> unto you in
my name <8034>; Behold <2009>, I will deliver < 5414> them into
the hand <3027> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king < 4428> of Babylon
<0894>; and he shall slay <5221> them before your eyes <5869>;



22 And of them shall be taken <3947> up a curse < 7045> by all
<3605> the captivity <1546> of Judah <3063> which <0834> [are]
in Babylon <0894>, saying <0559>, The LORD < 3068> make <7760>
thee like Zedekiah <6667> and like Ahab <0256>, whom <0834> the
king <4428> of Babylon <0894> roasted <7033> in the fire <0784>;



23 Because they have committed <6213> villany <5039> in Israel
<3478>, and have committed <6213> adultery < 5003> with their
neighbours <7453>' wives <0802>, and have spoken < 1696> lying
<8267> words <1697> in my name <8034>, which <0834> I have not
commanded <6680> them; even I know <3045>, and [am] a witness
<5707>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



24. [Thus] shalt thou also speak <0559> to Shemaiah < 8098> the
Nehelamite <5161>, saying <0559>,



25 Thus <3541> speaketh <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Because thou
hast sent <7971> letters <5612> in thy name < 8034> unto all
<3605> the people <5971> that [are] at Jerusalem < 3389>, and to
Zephaniah <6846> the son <1121> of Maaseiah < 4641> the priest
<3548>, and to all <3605> the priests <3548>, saying <0559>,



26 The LORD <3068> hath made <5414> thee priest < 3548> in the
stead <8478> of Jehoiada <3111> the priest < 3548>, that ye
should be officers <6496> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>,
for every man <0376> [that is] mad <7696>, and maketh himself a
prophet <5012>, that thou shouldest put <5414> him in prison
<4115>, and in the stocks <6729>.



27 Now <6258> therefore why <4100> hast thou not reproved
<1605> Jeremiah <3414> of Anathoth <6068>, which maketh himself
a prophet <5012> to you?



28 For therefore he sent <7971> unto us [in] Babylon < 0894>,
saying <0559>, This <1931> [captivity is] long < 0752>: build
<1129> ye houses <1004>, and dwell <3427> [in them]; and plant
<5193> gardens <1593>, and eat <0398> the fruit <6529> of them.



29 And Zephaniah <6846> the priest <3548> read < 7121> this
letter <5612> in the ears <0241> of Jeremiah < 3414> the prophet
<5030>.



30 Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068> unto
Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>,



31 Send <7971> to all <3605> them of the captivity <1473>,
saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>
concerning <0413> Shemaiah <8098> the Nehelamite < 5161>; Because
that Shemaiah <8098> hath prophesied <5012> unto you, and I sent
<7971> him not, and he caused you to trust <0982> in a lie
<8267>:



32 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>;
Behold <2005>, I will punish <6485> Shemaiah < 8098> the
Nehelamite <5161>, and his seed <2233>: he shall not have <1961>
a man <0376> to dwell <3427> among <8432> this <2088> people
<5971>; neither <3808> shall he behold <7200> the good <2896>
that I will do <6213> for my people <5971>, saith < 5002> the
LORD <3068>; because <3588> he hath taught < 1696> rebellion
<5627> against <5921> the LORD <3068>.



Jeremiah 30



1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah < 3414> from the
LORD <3068>, saying <0559>,



2 Thus <3541> speaketh <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of
Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Write <3789> thee all <3605> the
words <1697> that I have spoken <1696> unto thee in a book
<5612>.



3 For, lo <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the
LORD <3068>, that I will bring <7725> again < 7725> the captivity
<7622> of my people <5971> Israel <3478> and Judah <3063>, saith
<0559> the LORD <3068>: and I will cause them to return <7725>
to the land <0776> that I gave <5414> to their fathers <1>, and
they shall possess <3423> it.



4 And these <0428> [are] the words <1697> that the LORD <3068>
spake <1696> concerning <0413> Israel <3478> and concerning
<0413> Judah <3063>.



5 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; We have heard
<8085> a voice <6963> of trembling <2731>, of fear <6343>, and
not of peace <7965>.



6 Ask <7592> ye now <4994>, and see <7200> whether <0518> a man
<2145> doth travail <3205> with child <3205>? wherefore <4069>
do I see <7200> every <3605> man <1397> with his hands <3027> on
<5921> his loins <2504>, as a woman in travail < 3205>, and all
<3605> faces <6440> are turned <2015> into paleness <3420>?



7 Alas <1945>! for that day <3117> [is] great < 1419>, so that
none <0369> [is] like <3644> it: it [is] even the time <6256> of
Jacob's <3290> trouble <6869>; but he shall be saved <3467> out
of it.



8 For it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117> , saith
<5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, [that] I will break
<7665> his yoke <5923> from off <5921> thy neck <6677>, and will
burst <5423> thy bonds <4147>, and strangers < 2114> shall no
<3808> more <5750> serve <5647> themselves of him:



9 But they shall serve <5647> the LORD <3068> their God <0430>,
and David <1732> their king <4428>, whom <0834> I will raise
<6965> up unto them.



10. Therefore fear <3372> thou not, O my servant < 5650> Jacob
<3290>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; neither <0408> be dismayed
<2865>, O Israel <3478>: for, lo <2009>, I will save <3467> thee
from afar <7350>, and thy seed <2233> from the land <0776> of
their captivity <7628>; and Jacob <3290> shall return <7725>,
and shall be in rest <8252>, and be quiet <7599>, and none
<0369> shall make [him] afraid <2729>.



11 For I [am] with thee, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> , to save
<3467> thee: though <3588> I make <6213> a full end <3615> of
all <3605> nations <1471> whither I have scattered <6327> thee,
yet <0389> will I not make <6213> a full end < 3615> of thee: but
I will correct <3256> thee in measure <4941>, and will not leave
thee altogether unpunished <5352>.



12 For thus <3541> saith <5002> the LORD <3068> , Thy bruise
<7667> [is] incurable <0605>, [and] thy wound < 4347> [is]
grievous <2470>.



13 [There is] none <0369> to plead <1777> thy cause <1779>,
that thou mayest be bound <4205> up: thou hast no < 0369> healing
<8585> medicines <7499>.



14 All <3605> thy lovers <0157> have forgotten < 7911> thee;
they seek <1875> thee not; for I have wounded <5221> thee with
the wound <4347> of an enemy <0341>, with the chastisement
<4148> of a cruel <0394> one, for the multitude < 7230> of thine
iniquity <5771>; [because] thy sins <2403> were increased <6105>.



15 Why <4100> criest <2199> thou for thine affliction <7667>?
thy sorrow <4341> [is] incurable <0605> for the multitude <7230>
of thine iniquity <5771>: [because] thy sins <2403> were
increased <6105>, I have done <6213> these < 0428> things unto
thee.



16 Therefore <3651> all <3605> they that devour < 0398> thee
shall be devoured <0398>; and all <3605> thine adversaries
<6862>, every <3605> one of them, shall go < 3212> into captivity
<7633>; and they that spoil <7701> thee shall be a spoil <4933>,
and all <3605> that prey <0962> upon thee will I give <5414> for
a prey <7998>.



17 For I will restore <5927> health <0724> unto thee, and I
will heal <7495> thee of thy wounds <4347>, saith the LORD
<3068>; because <3588> they called <7121> thee an Outcast <5080>,
[saying], This <1931> [is] Zion <6726>, whom no < 0369> man
seeketh <1875> after <0310>.



18. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I
will bring <7725> again <7725> the captivity < 7622> of Jacob's
<3290> tents <0168>, and have mercy <7355> on his dwellingplaces
<4908>; and the city <5892> shall be builded < 1129> upon her own
heap <8510>, and the palace <0759> shall remain < 3427> after
<5921> the manner <4941> thereof.



19 And out of them shall proceed <3318> thanksgiving < 8426> and
the voice <6963> of them that make merry <7832>: and I will
multiply <7235> them, and they shall not be few <4591> ; I will
also glorify <3513> them, and they shall not be small < 6819>.



20 Their children <1121> also shall be as aforetime < 6924>, and
their congregation <5712> shall be established <3559> before
<6440> me, and I will punish <6485> all <3605> that oppress
<3905> them.



21 And their nobles <0117> shall be of themselves, and their
governor <4910> shall proceed <3318> from the midst <7130> of
them; and I will cause him to draw near <7126>, and he shall
approach <5066> unto me: for who <4310> [is] this that engaged
<6148> his heart <3820> to approach <5066> unto me? saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>.



22 And ye shall be my people <5971>, and I will be your God
<0430>.



23 Behold <2009>, the whirlwind <5591> of the LORD <3068> goeth
<3318> forth <3318> with fury <2534>, a continuing <1641>
whirlwind <5591>: it shall fall <2342> with pain < 2342> upon the
head <7218> of the wicked <7563>.



24 The fierce <2740> anger <0639> of the LORD < 3068> shall not
return <7725>, until <5704> he have done <6213> [it], and until
<5704> he have performed <6965> the intents < 4209> of his heart
<3820>: in the latter <0319> days <3117> ye shall consider
<0995> it.



Jeremiah 31



1. At the same <1931> time <6256>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>,
will I be the God <0430> of all <3605> the families <4940> of
Israel <3478>, and they shall be my people <5971>.



2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, The people <5971>
[which were] left <8300> of the sword <2719> found <4672> grace
<2580> in the wilderness <4057>; [even] Israel < 3478>, when I
went <1980> to cause him to rest <7280>.



3 The LORD <3068> hath appeared <7200> of old < 7350> unto me,
[saying], Yea, I have loved <0157> thee with an everlasting
<5769> love <0160>: therefore with lovingkindness < 2617> have I
drawn <4900> thee.



4 Again <5750> I will build <1129> thee, and thou shalt be
built <1129>, O virgin <1330> of Israel <3478>: thou shalt again
<5750> be adorned <5710> with thy tabrets <8596> , and shalt go
<3318> forth <3318> in the dances of them that make merry <7832>.



5 Thou shalt yet <5750> plant <5193> vines < 3754> upon the
mountains <2022> of Samaria <8111>: the planters < 5193> shall
plant <5193>, and shall eat [them] as common <2490> things.



6 For there shall be a day <3117>, [that] the watchmen < 5341>
upon the mount <2022> Ephraim <0669> shall cry < 7121>, Arise
<6965> ye, and let us go <5927> up to Zion < 6726> unto the LORD
<3068> our God <0430>.



7 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Sing <7442>
with gladness <8057> for Jacob <3290>, and shout < 6670> among
the chief <7218> of the nations <1471>: publish < 8085> ye,
praise <1984> ye, and say <0559>, O LORD <3068>, save <3467> thy
people <5971>, the remnant <7611> of Israel < 3478>.



8 Behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> them from the north <6828>
country <0776>, and gather <6908> them from the coasts <3411> of
the earth <0776>, [and] with them the blind <5787> and the lame
<6455>, the woman with child <2030> and her that travaileth
<3205> with child <3205> together <3162>: a great <1419> company
<6951> shall return <7725> thither <2008>.



9 They shall come <0935> with weeping <1065>, and with
supplications <8469> will I lead <2986> them: I will cause them
to walk <1980> by the rivers <5158> of waters < 4325> in a
straight <3474> way <1870>, wherein they shall not stumble
<3782>: for I am a father <1> to Israel <3478>, and Ephraim
<0669> [is] my firstborn <1060>.



10. Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068>, O ye
nations <1471>, and declare <5046> [it] in the isles <0339> afar
<4801> off, and say <0559>, He that scattered < 2219> Israel
<3478> will gather <6908> him, and keep <8104> him, as a
shepherd <7462> [doth] his flock <5739>.



11 For the LORD <3068> hath redeemed <6299> Jacob <3290>, and
ransomed <1350> him from the hand <3027> of [him that was]
stronger <2388> than he.



12 Therefore they shall come <0935> and sing <7442> in the
height <4791> of Zion <6726>, and shall flow < 5102> together to
the goodness <2898> of the LORD <3068>, for wheat < 1715>, and
for wine <8492>, and for oil <3323>, and for the young <1121> of
the flock <6629> and of the herd <1241>: and their soul <5315>
shall be as a watered <7302> garden <1588>; and they shall not
sorrow <1669> any more <3254> at all.



13 Then shall the virgin <1330> rejoice <8057> in the dance
<4234>, both young <0970> men and old <2205> together <3162>:
for I will turn <2015> their mourning <60> into joy <8342>, and
will comfort <5162> them, and make them rejoice <8057> from
their sorrow <3015>.



14 And I will satiate <7301> the soul <5315> of the priests
<3548> with fatness <1880>, and my people <5971> shall be
satisfied <7646> with my goodness <2898>, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>.



15 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; A voice <6963> was
heard <8085> in Ramah <7414>, lamentation <5092> , [and] bitter
<8563> weeping <1065>; Rahel <7354> weeping < 1058> for her
children <1121> refused <3985> to be comforted < 5162> for her
children <1121>, because <3588> they [were] not.



16 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Refrain <4513> thy
voice <6963> from weeping <1065>, and thine eyes < 5869> from
tears <1832>: for thy work <6468> shall be rewarded <7939>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; and they shall come < 7725> again
<7725> from the land <0776> of the enemy <0341>.



17 And there is hope <8615> in thine end <0319>, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>, that thy children <1121> shall come <7725>
again <7725> to their own border <1366>.



18. I have surely heard <8085> Ephraim <0669> bemoaning <5110>
himself [thus]; Thou hast chastised <3256> me, and I was
chastised <3256>, as a bullock <5695> unaccustomed [to the yoke]:
turn <7725> thou me, and I shall be turned <7725>; for thou
[art] the LORD <3068> my God <0430>.



19 Surely <3588> after <0310> that I was turned < 7725>, I
repented <5162>; and after <0310> that I was instructed <3045>,
I smote <5606> upon [my] thigh <3409>: I was ashamed <0954>, yea
<1571>, even <1571> confounded <3637>, because <3588> I did bear
<5375> the reproach <2781> of my youth <5271>.



20 [Is] Ephraim <0669> my dear <3357> son < 1121>? [is he] a
pleasant <8191> child <3205>? for since <1767> I spake <1696>
against him, I do earnestly remember <2142> him still < 5750>:
therefore my bowels <4578> are troubled <1993> for him; I will
surely have mercy <7355> upon him, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



21 Set <5324> thee up waymarks <6725>, make < 7760> thee high
<8564> heaps <8564>: set <7896> thine heart < 3820> toward the
highway <4546>, [even] the way <1870> [which] thou wentest
<1980>: turn <7725> again <7725>, O virgin < 1330> of Israel
<3478>, turn <7725> again <7725> to these < 0428> thy cities
<5892>.



22 How <5704> long <5704> wilt thou go <2559> about <2559>, O
thou backsliding <7728> daughter <1323>? for the LORD <3068>
hath created <1254> a new <2319> thing in the earth <0776>, A
woman <5347> shall compass <5437> a man <1397>.



23 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; As yet <5750> they shall use
<0559> this <2088> speech <1697> in the land <0776> of Judah
<3063> and in the cities <5892> thereof, when I shall bring
<7725> again <7725> their captivity <7622>; The LORD <3068>
bless <1288> thee, O habitation <5116> of justice < 6664>, [and]
mountain <2022> of holiness <6944>.



24 And there shall dwell <3427> in Judah <3063> itself, and in
all <3605> the cities <5892> thereof together < 3162>, husbandmen
<0406>, and they [that] go <5265> forth <5265> with flocks
<5739>.



25 For I have satiated <7301> the weary <5889> soul <5315>, and
I have replenished <4390> every <3605> sorrowful < 1669> soul
<5315>.



26 Upon this <2063> I awaked <6974>, and beheld < 7200>; and my
sleep <8142> was sweet <6147> unto me.



27. Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>, that I will sow <2232> the house < 1004> of
Israel <3478> and the house <1004> of Judah < 3063> with the seed
<2233> of man <0120>, and with the seed <2233> of beast <0929>.



28 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] like as I have
watched <8245> over <5921> them, to pluck <5428> up, and to
break <5422> down <5422>, and to throw <2040> down <2040>, and
to destroy <6>, and to afflict <7489>; so <3651> will I watch
<8245> over <5921> them, to build <1129>, and to plant <5193>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



29 In those <1992> days <3117> they shall say < 0559> no <3808>
more <5750>, The fathers <1> have eaten <0398> a sour <1155>
grape <1155>, and the children's <1121> teeth < 8127> are set on
edge <6949>.



30 But every <0376> one <0376> shall die <4191> for his own
iniquity <5771>: every man <0120> that eateth < 0398> the sour
<1155> grape <1155>, his teeth <8127> shall be set on edge
<6949>.



31 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the
LORD <3068>, that I will make <3772> a new < 2319> covenant
<1285> with the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, and with the
house <1004> of Judah <3063>:



32 Not according to the covenant <1285> that I made < 3772> with
their fathers <1> in the day <3117> [that] I took < 2388> them by
the hand <3027> to bring <3318> them out of the land <0776> of
Egypt <4714>; which <0834> my covenant <1285> they brake <6565>,
although I was an husband <1167> unto them, saith < 5002> the
LORD <3068>:



33 But this <2063> [shall be] the covenant <1285> that I will
make <3772> with the house <1004> of Israel < 3478>; After <0310>
those <1992> days <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, I will
put <5414> my law <8451> in their inward <7130> parts, and write
<3789> it in their hearts <3820>; and will be their God <0430>,
and they shall be my people <5971>.



34 And they shall teach <3925> no <3808> more < 5750> every man
<0376> his neighbour <7453>, and every man < 0376> his brother
<0251>, saying <0559>, Know <3045> the LORD < 3068>: for they
shall all <3605> know <3045> me, from the least < 6996> of them
unto the greatest <1419> of them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>:
for I will forgive <5545> their iniquity <5771>, and I will
remember <2142> their sin <2403> no <3808> more <5750>.



35. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, which giveth
<5414> the sun <8121> for a light <0216> by day <3119>, [and]
the ordinances <2708> of the moon <3394> and of the stars <3556>
for a light <0216> by night <3915>, which divideth <7280> the
sea <3220> when the waves <1530> thereof roar < 1993>; The LORD
<3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>:



36 If <0518> those <0428> ordinances <2706> depart <4185> from
before <6440> me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, [then] the seed
<2233> of Israel <3478> also <1571> shall cease <7673> from
being <1961> a nation <1471> before <6440> me for ever.



37 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; If <0518> heaven
<8064> above <4605> can be measured <4058>, and the foundations
<4146> of the earth <0776> searched <2713> out beneath <4295>, I
will also <1571> cast <3988> off all <3605> the seed <2233> of
Israel <3478> for all <3605> that they have done < 6213>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>.



38 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the
LORD <3068>, that the city <5892> shall be built < 1129> to the
LORD <3068> from the tower <4026> of Hananeel < 2606> unto the
gate <8179> of the corner <6438>.



39 And the measuring <4060> line <6957> shall yet <5750> go
<3318> forth <3318> over <5048> against < 5048> it upon the hill
<1389> Gareb <1619>, and shall compass <5437> about to Goath
<1601>.



40 And the whole <3605> valley <6010> of the dead <6297> bodies
<6297>, and of the ashes <1880>, and all <3605> the fields
<8309> unto the brook <5158> of Kidron <6939>, unto the corner
<6438> of the horse <5483> gate <8179> toward the east <4217>,
[shall be] holy <6944> unto the LORD <3068>; it shall not be
plucked <5428> up, nor <3808> thrown <2040> down <2040> any more
<5750> for ever <5769>.



Jeremiah 32



1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah < 3414> from the
LORD <3068> in the tenth <6224> year <8141> of Zedekiah <6667>
king <4428> of Judah <3063>, which <1958> [was] the eighteenth
year <8141> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019>.



2 For then <0227> the king <4428> of Babylon's < 0894> army
<2428> besieged <6696> Jerusalem <3389>: and Jeremiah <3414> the
prophet <5030> was shut <3607> up in the court < 2691> of the
prison <4307>, which <0834> [was] in the king < 4428> of Judah's
<3063> house <1004>.



3 For Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah < 3063> had shut
<3607> him up, saying <0559>, Wherefore <4069> dost thou
prophesy <5012>, and say <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the
LORD <3068>, Behold <2005>, I will give <5414> this <2063> city
<5892> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>,
and he shall take <3920> it;



4 And Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah < 3063> shall not
escape <4422> out of the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>,
but shall surely be delivered <5414> into the hand < 3027> of the
king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and shall speak < 1696> with him
mouth <6310> to mouth <6310>, and his eyes < 5869> shall behold
<7200> his eyes <5869>;



5 And he shall lead <3212> Zedekiah <6667> to Babylon <0894>,
and there <8033> shall he be until <5704> I visit < 6485> him,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: though <3588> ye fight <3898> with
the Chaldeans <3778>, ye shall not prosper <6743>.



6 And Jeremiah <3414> said <0559>, The word < 1697> of the LORD
<3068> came <1961> unto me, saying <0559>,



7 Behold <2009>, Hanameel <2601> the son <1121> of Shallum
<7967> thine uncle <1730> shall come <0935> unto thee, saying
<0559>, Buy <7069> thee my field <7704> that [is] in Anathoth
<6068>: for the right <4941> of redemption < 1353> [is] thine to
buy <7069> [it].



8 So Hanameel <2601> mine uncle's <1733> son < 1121> came <0935>
to me in the court <2691> of the prison <4307> according to the
word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, and said <0559> unto me, Buy
<7069> my field <7704>, I pray <4994> thee, that [is] in
Anathoth <6068>, which <0834> [is] in the country < 0776> of
Benjamin <1144>: for the right <4941> of inheritance <3425> [is]
thine, and the redemption <1353> [is] thine; buy < 7069> [it] for
thyself. Then I knew <3045> that this <1931> [was] the word
<1697> of the LORD <3068>.



9 And I bought <7069> the field <7704> of Hanameel <2601> my
uncle's <1733> son <1121>, that [was] in Anathoth < 6068>, and
weighed <8254> him the money <3701>, [even] seventeen <7651>
shekels <8255> of silver <3701>.



10 And I subscribed <3789> the evidence <5612>, and sealed
<2856> [it], and took witnesses <5707>, and weighed <8254> [him]
the money <3701> in the balances <3976>.



11 So I took <3947> the evidence <5612> of the purchase <4736>,
[both] that which was sealed <2856> [according] to the law
<4687> and custom <2706>, and that which was open < 1540>:



12 And I gave <5414> the evidence <5612> of the purchase <4736>
unto Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah < 5374>, the son
<1121> of Maaseiah <4271>, in the sight <5869> of Hanameel
<2601> mine uncle's <1733> [son], and in the presence <5869> of
the witnesses <5707> that subscribed <3789> the book <5612> of
the purchase <4736>, before <5869> all <3605> the Jews <3064>
that sat <3427> in the court <2691> of the prison < 4307>.



13 And I charged <6680> Baruch <1263> before < 5869> them,
saying <0559>,



14 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Take <3947> these <0428>
evidences <5612>, this <2088> evidence <5612> of the purchase
<4736>, both which is sealed <2856>, and this < 2088> evidence
<5612> which is open <1540>; and put <5414> them in an earthen
<2789> vessel <3627>, that they may continue < 5975> many <7227>
days <3117>.



15 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Houses <1004> and fields
<7704> and vineyards <3754> shall be possessed < 7069> again
<5750> in this <2063> land <0776>.



16. Now when I had delivered <5414> the evidence < 5612> of the
purchase <4736> unto Baruch <1263> the son < 1121> of Neriah
<5374>, I prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>,



17 Ah <0162> Lord <0136> GOD <3069>! behold <2009>, thou hast
made <6213> the heaven <8064> and the earth < 0776> by thy great
<1419> power <3581> and stretched <5186> out arm <2220>, [and]
there is nothing too hard <6381> for thee:



18 Thou shewest <6213> lovingkindness <2617> unto thousands
<0505>, and recompensest <7999> the iniquity < 5771> of the
fathers <1> into <0413> the bosom <2436> of their children
<1121> after <0310> them: the Great <1419>, the Mighty <1368>
God <0410>, the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, [is] his name
<8034>,



19 Great <1419> in counsel <6098>, and mighty < 7227> in work
<5950>: for thine eyes <5869> [are] open <6491> upon all <3605>
the ways <1870> of the sons <1121> of men <0120> : to give <5414>
every <0376> one <0376> according to his ways < 1870>, and
according to the fruit <6529> of his doings <4611>:



20 Which <0834> hast set <7760> signs <0226> and wonders <4159>
in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, [even] unto this <2088> day
<3119>, and in Israel <3478>, and among [other] men <0120>; and
hast made <6213> thee a name <8034>, as at < 5704> this <2088>
day <3119>;



21 And hast brought <3318> forth <3318> thy people <5971>
Israel <3478> out of the land <0776> of Egypt < 4714> with signs
<0226>, and with wonders <4159>, and with a strong <2389> hand
<3027>, and with a stretched <5186> out arm < 0248>, and with
great <1419> terror <4172>;



22 And hast given <5414> them this <2063> land < 0776>, which
<0834> thou didst swear <7650> to their fathers < 1> to give
<5414> them, a land <0776> flowing <2100> with milk <2461> and
honey <1706>;



23 And they came <0935> in, and possessed <3423> it; but they
obeyed <8085> not thy voice <6963>, neither < 3808> walked <1980>
in thy law <8451>; they have done <6213> nothing < 3808> of all
<3605> that thou commandedst <6680> them to do < 6213>: therefore
thou hast caused all <3605> this <2063> evil < 7451> to come
<7122> upon them:



24 Behold <2009> the mounts <5550>, they are come <0935> unto
the city <5892> to take <3920> it; and the city < 5892> is given
<5414> into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans < 3778>, that fight
<3898> against <5921> it, because <6440> of the sword <2719>,
and of the famine <7458>, and of the pestilence <1698> : and what
<0834> thou hast spoken <1696> is come <1961> to pass; and,
behold <2009>, thou seest <7200> [it].



25 And thou hast said <0559> unto me, O Lord <0136> GOD <3069>,
Buy <7069> thee the field <7704> for money < 3701>, and take
<5749> witnesses <5707>; for the city <5892> is given <5414>
into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>.



26. Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068> unto
Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>,



27 Behold <2009>, I [am] the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of all
<3605> flesh <1320>: is there any <3605> thing <1697> too hard
<6381> for me?



28 Therefore thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD < 3068>; Behold
<2005>, I will give <5414> this <2063> city < 5892> into the hand
<3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>, and into the hand < 3027> of
Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon < 0894>, and he
shall take <3920> it:



29 And the Chaldeans <3778>, that fight <3898> against <5921>
this <2063> city <5892>, shall come <0935> and set fire <0784>
on this <2063> city <5892>, and burn <8313> it with the houses
<1004>, upon whose <0834> roofs <1406> they have offered <6999>
incense <6999> unto Baal <1168>, and poured < 5258> out drink
<5262> offerings unto other <0312> gods <0430>, to provoke me to
anger <3707>.



30 For the children <1121> of Israel <3478> and the children
<1121> of Judah <3063> have only <0389> done <6213> evil <7451>
before <5869> me from their youth <5271>: for the children
<1121> of Israel <3478> have only <0389> provoked me to anger
<3707> with the work <4639> of their hands < 3027>, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>.



31 For this <2063> city <5892> hath been <1961> to me [as] a
provocation <3708> of mine anger <0639> and of my fury <2534>
from the day <3119> that they built <1129> it even unto this
<2088> day <3119>; that I should remove <5493> it from before
<5921> my face <6440>,



32 Because <5921> of all <3605> the evil <7451> of the children
<1121> of Israel <3478> and of the children < 1121> of Judah
<3063>, which <0834> they have done <6213> to provoke me to
anger <3707>, they, their kings <4428>, their princes <8269>,
their priests <3548>, and their prophets <5030>, and the men
<0376> of Judah <3063>, and the inhabitants < 3427> of Jerusalem
<3389>.



33 And they have turned <6437> unto me the back < 6203>, and not
the face <6440>: though I taught <3925> them, rising <7925> up
early <7925> and teaching <3925> [them], yet they have not
hearkened <8085> to receive <3947> instruction < 4148>.



34 But they set <7760> their abominations <8251> in the house
<1004>, which <0834> is called <7121> by my name <8034>, to
defile <2930> it.



35 And they built <1129> the high <1116> places of Baal <1168>,
which <0834> [are] in the valley <1516> of the son <1121> of
Hinnom <2011>, to cause <4616> their sons <1121> and their
daughters <1121> to pass <5674> through [the fire < 0784>] unto
Molech <4432>; which <0834> I commanded <6680> them not, neither
<3808> came <5927> it into <5921> my mind < 3820>, that they
should do <6213> this <2063> abomination <8441>, to cause Judah
<3063> to sin <2398>.



36 And now <6258> therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the
LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, concerning <0413>
this <2063> city <5892>, whereof <0834> ye say <0559>, It shall
be delivered <5414> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of
Babylon <0894> by the sword <2719>, and by the famine <7458>,
and by the pestilence <1698>;



37 Behold <2005>, I will gather <6908> them out of all <3605>
countries <0776>, whither I have driven <5080> them in mine
anger <0639>, and in my fury <2534>, and in great < 1419> wrath
<7110>; and I will bring <7725> them again < 7725> unto this
place <4725>, and I will cause them to dwell <3427> safely
<0983>:



38 And they shall be my people <5971>, and I will be their God
<0430>:



39 And I will give <5414> them one <0259> heart < 3820>, and one
<0259> way <1870>, that they may fear <3372> me for ever, for
the good <2896> of them, and of their children <1121> after
<0310> them:



40 And I will make <3772> an everlasting <5769> covenant <1285>
with them, that I will not turn <7725> away from them, to do
them good <3190>; but I will put <5414> my fear < 3374> in their
hearts <3824>, that they shall not depart <5493> from me.



41 Yea, I will rejoice <7797> over <5921> them to do them good
<2895>, and I will plant <5193> them in this < 2063> land <0776>
assuredly <0571> with my whole <3605> heart < 3820> and with my
whole <3605> soul <5315>.



42 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> ; Like as I have
brought <0935> all <3605> this <2063> great < 1419> evil <7451>
upon this <2088> people <5971>, so <3651> will I bring <0935>
upon them all <3605> the good <2896> that I have promised <1696>
them.



43 And fields <7704> shall be bought <7069> in this <2063> land
<0776>, whereof <0834> ye say <0559>, [It is] desolate <8077>
without <0369> man <0120> or beast <0929>; it is given <5414>
into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>.



44 Men shall buy <7069> fields <7704> for money < 3701>, and
subscribe <3789> evidences <5612>, and seal < 2856> [them], and
take <5749> witnesses <5707> in the land <0776> of Benjamin
<1144>, and in the places about <5439> Jerusalem < 3389>, and in
the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and in the cities <5892> of
the mountains <2022>, and in the cities <5892> of the valley
<8219>, and in the cities <5892> of the south < 5045>: for I will
<7522> cause their captivity <7622> to return < 7725>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>.



Jeremiah 33



1. Moreover the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto
Jeremiah <3414> the second <8145> time, while he was yet <5750>
shut <6113> up in the court <2691> of the prison < 4307>, saying
<0559>,



2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> the maker <6213>
thereof, the LORD <3068> that formed <3335> it, to establish
<3559> it; the LORD <3068> [is] his name <8034>;



3 Call <7121> unto me, and I will answer <6030> thee, and shew
<5046> thee great <1419> and mighty <1219> things, which thou
knowest <3045> not.



4 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430>
of Israel <3478>, concerning <5921> the houses < 1004> of this
<2063> city <5892>, and concerning <5921> the houses <1004> of
the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, which are thrown <5422> down
<5422> by the mounts <5550>, and by the sword < 2719>;



5 They come <0935> to fight <3898> with the Chaldeans <3778>,
but [it is] to fill <4390> them with the dead <6297> bodies
<6297> of men <0120>, whom <0834> I have slain <5221> in mine
anger <0639> and in my fury <2534>, and for all < 3605> whose
<0834> wickedness <7451> I have hid <5641> my face <6440> from
this <2063> city <5892>.



6 Behold <2005>, I will bring <4608> it health < 0724> and cure
<7495>, and I will cure <7495> them, and will reveal <1540> unto
them the abundance <6283> of peace <7965> and truth <0571>.



7 And I will cause the captivity <7622> of Judah < 3063> and the
captivity <7622> of Israel <3478> to return < 7725>, and will
build <1129> them, as at the first <7223>.



8 And I will cleanse <2891> them from all <3605> their iniquity
<5771>, whereby <0834> they have sinned <2398> against me; and I
will pardon <5545> all <3605> their iniquities < 5771>, whereby
<0834> they have sinned <2398>, and whereby < 0834> they have
transgressed <6586> against me.



9 And it shall be to me a name <8034> of joy <8342>, a praise
<8416> and an honour <8597> before all <3605> the nations <1471>
of the earth <0776>, which <0834> shall hear < 8085> all <3605>
the good <2896> that I do <6213> unto them: and they shall fear
<6342> and tremble <7264> for all <3605> the goodness <2896> and
for all <3605> the prosperity <7965> that I procure <6213> unto
it.



10. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Again <5750>
there shall be heard <8085> in this <2088> place < 4725>, which
<0834> ye say <0559> [shall be] desolate <2717> without <0369>
man <0120> and without <0369> beast <0929>, [even] in the cities
<5892> of Judah <3063>, and in the streets < 2351> of Jerusalem
<3389>, that are desolate <8074>, without <0369> man <0120>, and
without <0369> inhabitant <3427>, and without < 0369> beast
<0929>,



11 The voice <6963> of joy <8342>, and the voice < 6963> of
gladness <8057>, the voice <6963> of the bridegroom <2860>, and
the voice <6963> of the bride <3618>, the voice < 6963> of them
that shall say <0559>, Praise <3034> the LORD < 3068> of hosts
<6635>: for the LORD <3068> [is] good <2896>; for his mercy
<2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>: [and] of them that shall
bring <0935> the sacrifice of praise <8426> into the house
<1004> of the LORD <3068>. For I will cause to return <7725> the
captivity <7622> of the land <0776>, as at the first <7223>,
saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.



12 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;
Again <5750> in this <2088> place <4725>, which is desolate
<2717> without man <0120> and without beast < 0929>, and in all
<3605> the cities <5892> thereof, shall be an habitation <5116>
of shepherds <7462> causing [their] flocks <6629> to lie <7257>
down <7901>.



13 In the cities <5892> of the mountains <2022>, in the cities
<5892> of the vale <8219>, and in the cities < 5892> of the south
<5045>, and in the land <0776> of Benjamin < 1144>, and in the
places about <5439> Jerusalem <3389>, and in the cities <5892>
of Judah <3063>, shall the flocks <6629> pass < 5674> again
<5750> under <5921> the hands <3027> of him that telleth <4487>
[them], saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.



14 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the
LORD <3068>, that I will perform <6965> that good < 2896> thing
<1697> which <0834> I have promised <1696> unto the house <1004>
of Israel <3478> and to the house <1004> of Judah < 3063>.



15 In those <1992> days <3117>, and at that time < 6256>, will I
cause the Branch <6780> of righteousness <6666> to grow <6779>
up unto David <1732>; and he shall execute <6213> judgment
<4941> and righteousness <6666> in the land < 0776>.



16 In those <1992> days <3117> shall Judah < 3063> be saved
<3467>, and Jerusalem <3389> shall dwell <7931> safely <0983>:
and this <2088> [is the name] wherewith <0834> she shall be
called <7121>, The LORD <3068> our righteousness < 6664>.



17. For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD < 3068>; David <1732>
shall never <3808> want <3772> a man <0376> to sit <3427> upon
the throne <3678> of the house <1004> of Israel < 3478>;



18 Neither <3808> shall the priests <3548> the Levites <3881>
want <3772> a man <0376> before <6440> me to offer <5927> burnt
<5930> offerings, and to kindle <6999> meat offerings <4503>,
and to do <6213> sacrifice <2077> continually.



19 And the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came < 1961> unto
Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>,



20 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; If <0518> ye can
break <6565> my covenant <1285> of the day < 3117>, and my
covenant <1285> of the night <3915>, and that there should not
be day <3119> and night <3915> in their season < 6256>;



21 [Then] may also <1571> my covenant <1285> be broken <6565>
with David <1732> my servant <5650>, that he should not have
<1961> a son <1121> to reign <4427> upon his throne <3678>; and
with the Levites <3881> the priests <3548>, my ministers <8334>.



22 As the host <6635> of heaven <8064> cannot < 3808> be
numbered <5608>, neither <3808> the sand <2344> of the sea
<3220> measured <4058>: so <3651> will I multiply <7235> the
seed <2233> of David <1732> my servant <5650>, and the Levites
<3881> that minister <8334> unto me.



23 Moreover the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> to
Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>,



24 Considerest <7200> thou not what <4100> this < 2088> people
<5971> have spoken <1696>, saying <0559>, The two <8147>
families <4940> which <0834> the LORD <3068> hath chosen <0977>,
he hath even cast <3988> them off? thus they have despised
<5006> my people <5971>, that they should be no more <5750> a
nation <1471> before <6440> them.



25 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; If <0518> my
covenant <1285> [be] not with day <3119> and night <3915>, [and
if] I have not appointed <7760> the ordinances <2708> of heaven
<8064> and earth <0776>;



26 Then <1571> will I cast <3988> away the seed < 2233> of Jacob
<3290>, and David <1732> my servant <5650>, [so] that I will not
take <3947> [any] of his seed <2233> [to be] rulers <4910> over
<0413> the seed <2233> of Abraham <85>, Isaac <3446>, and Jacob
<3290>: for I will cause their captivity <7622> to return <7725>,
and have mercy <7355> on them.



Jeremiah 34



1. The word <1697> which <0834> came <1961> unto Jeremiah
<3414> from the LORD <3068>, when Nebuchadnezzar < 5019> king
<4428> of Babylon <0894>, and all <3605> his army <2428>, and
all <3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the earth < 0776> of his
dominion <4475>, and all <3605> the people < 5971>, fought <3898>
against <5921> Jerusalem <3389>, and against < 5921> all <3605>
the cities <5892> thereof, saying <0559>,



2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of
Israel <3478>; Go <1980> and speak <0559> to Zedekiah <6667>
king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and tell <0559> him, Thus <3541>
saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I will give <5414>
this <2063> city <5892> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428>
of Babylon <0894>, and he shall burn <8313> it with fire <0784>:



3 And thou shalt not escape <4422> out of his hand < 3027>, but
shalt surely <3588> be taken <8610>, and delivered <5414> into
his hand <3027>; and thine eyes <5869> shall behold <7200> the
eyes <5869> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> , and he shall
speak <1696> with thee mouth <6310> to mouth < 6310>, and thou
shalt go <0935> to Babylon <0894>.



4 Yet <0389> hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, O
Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; Thus <3541> saith
<0559> the LORD <3068> of thee, Thou shalt not die <4191> by the
sword <2719>:



5 [But] thou shalt die <4191> in peace <7965>: and with the
burnings <4955> of thy fathers <1>, the former < 7223> kings
<4428> which <0834> were before <6440> thee, so <3651> shall
they burn <8313> [odours] for thee; and they will lament <5594>
thee, [saying], Ah <1945> lord <0113>! for I have pronounced
<1696> the word <1697>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



6 Then Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> spake < 1696> all
<3605> these <0428> words <1697> unto Zedekiah <6667> king
<4428> of Judah <3063> in Jerusalem <3389>,



7 When the king <4428> of Babylon's <0894> army < 2428> fought
<3898> against <5921> Jerusalem <3389>, and against <5921> all
<3605> the cities <5892> of Judah <3063> that were left <3498>,
against <0413> Lachish <3923>, and against < 0413> Azekah <5825>:
for these <2007> defenced <4013> cities <5892> remained <7604>
of the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>.



8. [This is] the word <1697> that came <1961> unto Jeremiah
<3414> from the LORD <3068>, after <0310> that the king <4428>
Zedekiah <6667> had made <3772> a covenant < 1285> with all
<3605> the people <5971> which <0834> [were] at Jerusalem <3389>,
to proclaim <7121> liberty <1865> unto them;



9 That every man <0376> should let his manservant < 5650>, and
every man <0376> his maidservant <8198>, [being] an Hebrew
<5680> or an Hebrewess <5680>, go <7971> free <2670>; that none
<1115> should serve <5647> himself of them, [to wit], of a Jew
<3064> his brother <0251>.



10 Now when all <3605> the princes <8269>, and all <3605> the
people <5971>, which <0834> had entered <0935> into the covenant
<1285>, heard <8085> that every <0376> one < 0376> should let his
manservant <5650>, and every <0376> one <0376> his maidservant
<8198>, go <7971> free <2670>, that none < 1115> should serve
<5647> themselves of them any more <5750>, then they obeyed
<8085>, and let [them] go <7971>.



11 But afterward they turned <7725>, and caused the servants
<5650> and the handmaids <8198>, whom <0834> they had let go
<7971> free <2670>, to return <7725>, and brought <3533> them
into subjection <3533> for servants <5650> and for handmaids
<8198>.



12 Therefore the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> to
Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, saying < 0559>,



13 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of
Israel <3478>; I made <3772> a covenant <1285> with your fathers
<1> in the day <3117> that I brought <3318> them forth <3318>
out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, out of the house <1004>
of bondmen <5650>, saying <0559>,



14 At the end <7093> of seven <7651> years < 8141> let ye go
<7971> every man <0376> his brother <0251> an Hebrew <5680>,
which <0834> hath been <1961> sold <4376> unto thee; and when he
hath served <5647> thee six <8337> years <8141>, thou shalt let
him go <7971> free <2670> from thee: but your fathers <1>
hearkened <8085> not unto me, neither <3808> inclined <5186>
their ear <0241>.



15 And ye were now <3117> turned <7725>, and had done <6213>
right <3477> in my sight <5869>, in proclaiming < 7121> liberty
<1865> every man <0376> to his neighbour <7453>; and ye had made
<3772> a covenant <1285> before <6440> me in the house <1004>
which <0834> is called <7121> by my name <8034>:



16 But ye turned <7725> and polluted <2490> my name <8034>, and
caused every man <0376> his servant <5650>, and every man <0376>
his handmaid <8198>, whom <0834> ye had set < 7971> at liberty
<2670> at their pleasure <5315>, to return < 7725>, and brought
<3533> them into subjection <3533>, to be unto you for servants
<5650> and for handmaids <8198>.



17 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>;
Ye have not hearkened <8085> unto me, in proclaiming < 7121>
liberty <1865>, every one <0376> to his brother < 0251>, and
every man <0376> to his neighbour <7453>: behold < 2005>, I
proclaim <7121> a liberty <1865> for you, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>, to the sword <2719>, to the pestilence < 1698>, and to
the famine <7458>; and I will make <5414> you to be removed
<2189> into all <3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776>.



18 And I will give <5414> the men <0582> that have transgressed
<5674> my covenant <1285>, which <0834> have not performed
<6965> the words <1697> of the covenant <1285> which <0834> they
had made <3772> before <6440> me, when they cut < 3772> the calf
<5695> in twain <8147>, and passed <5674> between <0996> the
parts <1335> thereof,



19 The princes <8269> of Judah <3063>, and the princes <8269>
of Jerusalem <3389>, the eunuchs <5631>, and the priests <3548>,
and all <3605> the people <5971> of the land < 0776>, which
passed <5674> between <0996> the parts <1335> of the calf <5695>;



20 I will even give <5414> them into the hand <3027> of their
enemies <0341>, and into the hand <3027> of them that seek
<1245> their life <5315>: and their dead <5038> bodies <5038>
shall be for meat <3978> unto the fowls <5775> of the heaven
<8064>, and to the beasts <0929> of the earth < 0776>.



21 And Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah < 3063> and his
princes <8269> will I give <5414> into the hand < 3027> of their
enemies <0341>, and into the hand <3027> of them that seek
<1245> their life <5315>, and into the hand < 3027> of the king
<4428> of Babylon's <0894> army <2428>, which are gone <5927> up
from you.



22 Behold <2005>, I will command <6680>, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>, and cause them to return <7725> to this < 2063> city
<5892>; and they shall fight <3898> against < 5921> it, and take
<3920> it, and burn <8313> it with fire <0784>: and I will make
<5414> the cities <5892> of Judah <3063> a desolation <8077>
without <0369> an inhabitant <3427>.



Jeremiah 35



1. The word <1697> which <0834> came <1961> unto Jeremiah
<3414> from the LORD <3068> in the days <3117> of Jehoiakim
<3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king < 4428> of Judah
<3063>, saying <0559>,



2 Go <1980> unto the house <1004> of the Rechabites <7397>, and
speak <1696> unto them, and bring <0935> them into the house
<1004> of the LORD <3068>, into <0413> one < 0259> of the
chambers <3957>, and give them wine <3196> to drink <8248>.



3 Then I took <3947> Jaazaniah <2970> the son < 1121> of
Jeremiah <3414>, the son <1121> of Habaziniah < 2262>, and his
brethren <0251>, and all <3605> his sons <1121>, and the whole
<3605> house <1004> of the Rechabites <7397>;



4 And I brought <0935> them into the house <1004> of the LORD
<3068>, into <0413> the chamber <3957> of the sons <1121> of
Hanan <2605>, the son <1121> of Igdaliah <3012>, a man <0376> of
God <0430>, which <0834> [was] by the chamber < 2315> of the
princes <8269>, which <0834> [was] above <4605> the chamber
<3957> of Maaseiah <4641> the son <1121> of Shallum <7967>, the
keeper <8104> of the door <5592>:



5 And I set <5414> before <6440> the sons < 1121> of the house
<1004> of the Rechabites <7397> pots <1375> full <4392> of wine
<3196>, and cups <3563>, and I said <0559> unto them, Drink
<8354> ye wine <3196>.



6 But they said <0559>, We will drink <8354> no < 3808> wine
<3196>: for Jonadab <3122> the son <1121> of Rechab <7394> our
father <1> commanded <6680> us, saying <0559>, Ye shall drink
<8354> no <3808> wine <3196>, [neither ye], nor your sons <1121>
for ever <5769>:



7 Neither <3808> shall ye build <1129> house < 1004>, nor <3808>
sow <2232> seed <2233>, nor <3808> plant < 5193> vineyard <3754>,
nor <3808> have [any]: but all <3605> your days < 3117> ye shall
dwell <3427> in tents <0168>; that ye may live < 2421> many
<7227> days <3117> in the land <0127> where ye [be] strangers
<1481>.



8 Thus have we obeyed <8085> the voice <6963> of Jonadab <3082>
the son <1121> of Rechab <7394> our father <1> in all <3605>
that he hath charged <6680> us, to drink <8354> no <1115> wine
<3196> all <3605> our days <3117>, we, our wives <0802>, our
sons <1121>, nor our daughters <1121>;



9 Nor <1115> to build <1129> houses <1004> for us to dwell
<3427> in: neither <3808> have <1961> we vineyard <3754>, nor
field <7704>, nor seed <2233>:



10 But we have dwelt <3427> in tents <0168>, and have obeyed
<8085>, and done <6213> according to all <3605> that Jonadab
<3122> our father <1> commanded <6680> us.



11 But it came <1961> to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar < 5019> king
<4428> of Babylon <0894> came <5927> up into <0413> the land
<0776>, that we said <0559>, Come <0935>, and let us go <0935>
to Jerusalem <3389> for fear <6440> of the army < 2428> of the
Chaldeans <3778>, and for fear <6440> of the army < 2428> of the
Syrians <0758>: so we dwell <3427> at Jerusalem < 3389>.



12. Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068> unto
Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>,



13 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Go <1980> and tell <0559> the
men <0376> of Judah <3063> and the inhabitants < 3427> of
Jerusalem <3389>, Will ye not receive <3947> instruction <4148>
to hearken <8085> to my words <1697>? saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>.



14 The words <1697> of Jonadab <3082> the son < 1121> of Rechab
<7394>, that he commanded <6680> his sons <1121> not to drink
<8354> wine <3196>, are performed <6965>; for unto this <2088>
day <3117> they drink <8354> none <3808>, but obey <8085> their
father's <1> commandment <4687>: notwithstanding I have spoken
<1696> unto you, rising <7925> early <7925> and speaking <1696>;
but ye hearkened <8085> not unto me.



15 I have sent <7971> also unto you all <3605> my servants
<5650> the prophets <5030>, rising <7925> up early <7925> and
sending <7971> [them], saying <0559>, Return < 7725> ye now
<4994> every man <0376> from his evil <7451> way <1870>, and
amend <3190> your doings <4611>, and go <3212> not after <0310>
other <0312> gods <0430> to serve <5647> them, and ye shall
dwell <3427> in the land <0127> which <0834> I have given <5414>
to you and to your fathers <1>: but ye have not inclined <5186>
your ear <0241>, nor <3808> hearkened <8085> unto me.



16 Because <3588> the sons <1121> of Jonadab < 3082> the son
<1121> of Rechab <7394> have performed <6965> the commandment
<4687> of their father <1>, which <0834> he commanded <6680>
them; but this <2088> people <5971> hath not hearkened <8085>
unto me:



17 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>
God <0430> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>;
Behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> upon Judah < 3063> and upon
all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem < 3389> all <3605>
the evil <7451> that I have pronounced <1696> against <5921>
them: because <3282> I have spoken <1696> unto them, but they
have not heard <8085>; and I have called <7121> unto them, but
they have not answered <6030>.



18 And Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> unto the house <1004> of the
Rechabites <7397>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Because ye have
obeyed <8085> the commandment <4687> of Jonadab < 3082> your
father <1>, and kept <8104> all <3605> his precepts <4687>, and
done <6213> according unto all <3605> that he hath commanded
<6680> you:



19 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Jonadab <3122>
the son <1121> of Rechab <7394> shall not want < 3772> a man
<0376> to stand <5975> before <6440> me for ever.



Jeremiah 36



1. And it came <1961> to pass in the fourth <7243> year <8141>
of Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah < 2977> king <4428>
of Judah <3063>, [that] this <2088> word <1697> came <1961> unto
Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, saying < 0559>,



2 Take <3947> thee a roll <4039> of a book < 5612>, and write
<3789> therein <0413> all <3605> the words < 1697> that I have
spoken <1696> unto thee against <5921> Israel < 3478>, and
against <5921> Judah <3063>, and against <5921> all <3605> the
nations <1471>, from the day <3117> I spake < 1696> unto thee,
from the days <3117> of Josiah <2977>, even unto this <2088> day
<3117>.



3 It may be that the house <1004> of Judah <3063> will hear
<8085> all <3605> the evil <7451> which < 0834> I purpose <2803>
to do <6213> unto them; that they may return <7725> every man
<0376> from his evil <7451> way <1870>; that I may forgive
<5545> their iniquity <5771> and their sin < 2403>.



4 Then Jeremiah <3414> called <7121> Baruch < 1263> the son
<1121> of Neriah <5374>: and Baruch <1263> wrote <3789> from the
mouth <6310> of Jeremiah <3414> all <3605> the words <1697> of
the LORD <3068>, which <0834> he had spoken < 1696> unto him,
upon a roll <4039> of a book <5612>.



5 And Jeremiah <3414> commanded <6680> Baruch < 1263>, saying
<0559>, I [am] shut <6113> up; I cannot go < 0935> into the house
<1004> of the LORD <3068>:



6 Therefore go <0935> thou, and read <7121> in the roll <4039>,
which <0834> thou hast written <3789> from my mouth <6310>, the
words <1697> of the LORD <3068> in the ears < 0241> of the people
<5971> in the LORD'S <3068> house <1004> upon the fasting <6685>
day <3117>: and also <1571> thou shalt read < 7121> them in the
ears <0241> of all <3605> Judah <3063> that come <0935> out of
their cities <5892>.



7 It may be they will present <5307> their supplication <8467>
before <6440> the LORD <3068>, and will return < 7725> every
<0376> one from his evil <7451> way <1870>: for great <1419>
[is] the anger <0639> and the fury <2534> that the LORD <3068>
hath pronounced <1696> against <0413> this < 2088> people <5971>.



8 And Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah < 5374> did <6213>
according to all <3605> that Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>
commanded <6680> him, reading <7121> in the book < 5612> the
words <1697> of the LORD <3068> in the LORD'S < 3068> house
<1004>.



9. And it came <1961> to pass in the fifth <2549> year <8141>
of Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah < 2977> king <4428>
of Judah <3063>, in the ninth <8671> month < 2320>, [that] they
proclaimed <7121> a fast <6685> before <6440> the LORD <3068> to
all <3605> the people <5971> in Jerusalem <3389> , and to all
<3605> the people <5971> that came <0935> from the cities <5892>
of Judah <3063> unto Jerusalem <3389>.



10 Then read <7121> Baruch <1263> in the book < 5612> the words
<1697> of Jeremiah <3414> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>,
in the chamber <3957> of Gemariah <1587> the son < 1121> of
Shaphan <8227> the scribe <5608>, in the higher < 5945> court
<2691>, at the entry <6607> of the new <2319> gate <8179> of the
LORD'S <3068> house <1004>, in the ears <0241> of all <3605> the
people <5971>.



11 When Michaiah <4321> the son <1121> of Gemariah <1587>, the
son <1121> of Shaphan <8227>, had heard <8085> out of the book
<5612> all <3605> the words <1697> of the LORD <3068>,



12 Then he went <3381> down <3381> into the king's <4428> house
<1004>, into <5921> the scribe's <5608> chamber <3957>: and, lo
<2009>, all <3605> the princes <8269> sat < 3427> there <8033>,
[even] Elishama <0476> the scribe <5608>, and Delaiah <1806> the
son <1121> of Shemaiah <8098>, and Elnathan < 0494> the son
<1121> of Achbor <5907>, and Gemariah <1587> the son <1121> of
Shaphan <8227>, and Zedekiah <6667> the son < 1121> of Hananiah
<2608>, and all <3605> the princes <8269>.



13 Then Michaiah <4321> declared <5046> unto them all <3605>
the words <1697> that he had heard <8085>, when Baruch <1263>
read <7121> the book <5612> in the ears <0241> of the people
<5971>.



14 Therefore all <3605> the princes <8269> sent < 7971> Jehudi
<3065> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418>, the son <1121> of
Shelemiah <8018>, the son <1121> of Cushi <3569> , unto Baruch
<1263>, saying <0559>, Take <3947> in thine hand <3027> the roll
<4039> wherein <0834> thou hast read <7121> in the ears <0241>
of the people <5971>, and come <3212>. So Baruch < 1263> the son
<1121> of Neriah <5374> took <3947> the roll <4039> in his hand
<3027>, and came <0935> unto them.



15 And they said <0559> unto him, Sit <3427> down now <4994>,
and read <7121> it in our ears <0241>. So Baruch < 1263> read
<7121> [it] in their ears <0241>.



16 Now it came <1961> to pass, when they had heard < 8085> all
<3605> the words <1697>, they were afraid <6342> both <0413> one
<0376> and other <7453>, and said <0559> unto Baruch <1263>, We
will surely tell <5046> the king <4428> of all < 3605> these
<0428> words <1697>.



17 And they asked <7592> Baruch <1263>, saying < 0559>, Tell
<5046> us now <4994>, How <0349> didst thou write <3789> all
<3605> these <0428> words <1697> at his mouth <6310>?



18 Then Baruch <1263> answered <0559> them, He pronounced
<7126> all <3605> these <0428> words < 1697> unto me with his
mouth <6310>, and I wrote <3789> [them] with ink < 1773> in the
book <5612>.



19 Then said <0559> the princes <8269> unto Baruch <1263>, Go
<3212>, hide <5641> thee, thou and Jeremiah < 3414>; and let no
<0408> man <0376> know <3045> where <0375> ye be.



20. And they went <0935> in to the king <4428> into the court
<2691>, but they laid <6485> up the roll <4039> in the chamber
<3957> of Elishama <0476> the scribe <5608>, and told <5046> all
<3605> the words <1697> in the ears <0241> of the king <4428>.



21 So the king <4428> sent <7971> Jehudi <3065> to fetch <3947>
the roll <4039>: and he took <3947> it out of Elishama <0476>
the scribe's <5608> chamber <3957>. And Jehudi < 3065> read
<7121> it in the ears <0241> of the king <4428>, and in the ears
<0241> of all <3605> the princes <8269> which stood <5975>
beside <5921> the king <4428>.



22 Now the king <4428> sat <3427> in the winterhouse <2779> in
the ninth <8671> month <2320>: and [there was a fire] on the
hearth <0254> burning <1197> before <6440> him.



23 And it came <1961> to pass, [that] when Jehudi < 3065> had
read <7121> three <7969> or four <0702> leaves <1817>, he cut
<7167> it with the penknife <8593>, and cast < 7933> [it] into
<0413> the fire <0784> that [was] on <0413> the hearth <0254>,
until <5704> all <3605> the roll <4039> was consumed <8552> in
the fire <0784> that [was] on <5921> the hearth < 0254>.



24 Yet they were not afraid <6342>, nor <3808> rent <7167>
their garments <0899>, [neither] the king <4428>, nor any <3605>
of his servants <5650> that heard <8085> all < 3605> these <0428>
words <1697>.



25 Nevertheless <1571> Elnathan <0494> and Delaiah <1806> and
Gemariah <1587> had made intercession <6293> to the king <4428>
that he would not burn <8313> the roll <4039>: but he would not
hear <8085> them.



26 But the king <4428> commanded <6680> Jerahmeel <3396> the
son <1121> of Hammelech <4429>, and Seraiah < 8304> the son
<1121> of Azriel <5837>, and Shelemiah <8018> the son <1121> of
Abdeel <5655>, to take <3947> Baruch <1263> the scribe <5608>
and Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>: but the LORD <3068> hid
<5641> them.



27 Then the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came < 1961> to
Jeremiah <3414>, after <0310> that the king < 4428> had burned
<8313> the roll <4039>, and the words <1697> which <0834> Baruch
<1263> wrote <3789> at the mouth <6310> of Jeremiah <3414>,
saying <0559>,



28 Take <3947> thee again <7725> another <0312> roll <4039>,
and write <3789> in it all <3605> the former < 7223> words <1697>
that were in the first <7223> roll <4039>, which < 0834>
Jehoiakim <3079> the king <4428> of Judah <3063> hath burned
<8313>.



29 And thou shalt say <0559> to Jehoiakim <3079> king <4428> of
Judah <3063>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Thou
hast burned <8313> this <2063> roll <4039>, saying <0559>, Why
<4069> hast thou written <3789> therein <5921>, saying <0559>,
The king <4428> of Babylon <0894> shall certainly come <0935>
and destroy <7843> this <2063> land <0776>, and shall cause to
cease <7673> from thence man <0120> and beast < 0929>?



30 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
Jehoiakim <3079> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; He shall have
<1961> none <3808> to sit <3427> upon the throne <3678> of David
<1732>: and his dead <5038> body <5038> shall be cast <7933> out
in the day <3117> to the heat <2721>, and in the night <3915> to
the frost <7140>.



31 And I will punish <6485> him and his seed <2233> and his
servants <5650> for their iniquity <5771>; and I will bring
<0935> upon them, and upon the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem
<3389>, and upon the men <0376> of Judah <3063>, all <3605> the
evil <7451> that I have pronounced <1691> against < 0413> them;
but they hearkened <8085> not.



32 Then took <3947> Jeremiah <3414> another < 0312> roll <4039>,
and gave <5414> it to Baruch <1263> the scribe < 5608>, the son
<1121> of Neriah <5374>; who wrote <3789> therein <5921> from
the mouth <6310> of Jeremiah <3414> all <3605> the words <1697>
of the book <5612> which <0834> Jehoiakim <3079> king <4428> of
Judah <3063> had burned <8313> in the fire < 0784>: and there
were added <3254> besides <5750> unto them many < 7227> like
<1922> words <1697>.



Jeremiah 37



1. And king <4428> Zedekiah <6667> the son < 1121> of Josiah
<2977> reigned <4427> instead <8478> of Coniah <3659> the son
<1121> of Jehoiakim <3079>, whom <0834> Nebuchadrezzar <5019>
king <4428> of Babylon <0894> made king <4428> in the land
<0776> of Judah <3063>.



2 But neither <3808> he, nor his servants <5650>, nor the
people <5971> of the land <0776>, did hearken < 8085> unto the
words <1697> of the LORD <3068>, which <0834> he spake <1696> by
the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414>.



3 And Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> sent < 7971> Jehucal
<3081> the son <1121> of Shelemiah <8018> and Zephaniah <6846>
the son <1121> of Maaseiah <4641> the priest < 3548> to the
prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, Pray <6419> now
<4994> unto the LORD <3068> our God <0430> for us.



4 Now Jeremiah <3414> came <0935> in and went < 3318> out among
<8432> the people <5971>: for they had not put < 5414> him into
prison.



5 Then Pharaoh's <6547> army <2428> was come < 3318> forth
<3318> out of Egypt <4714>: and when the Chaldeans <3778> that
besieged <6696> Jerusalem <3389> heard <8085> tidings <8088> of
them, they departed <5927> from Jerusalem <3389>.



6 Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068> unto the
prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>,



7 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of
Israel <3478>; Thus <3541> shall ye say <0559> to the king
<4428> of Judah <3063>, that sent <7971> you unto me to enquire
<1875> of me; Behold <2005>, Pharaoh's <6547> army <2428>, which
is come <3318> forth <3318> to help <5833> you, shall return
<7725> to Egypt <4714> into their own land < 0776>.



8 And the Chaldeans <3778> shall come <7725> again <7725>, and
fight <3898> against <5921> this <2063> city <5892>, and take
<3920> it, and burn <8313> it with fire <0784>.



9 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Deceive <5377> not
yourselves <5315>, saying <0559>, The Chaldeans < 3778> shall
surely depart <1980> from us: for they shall not depart < 1980>.



10 For though <0518> ye had smitten <5221> the whole <3605>
army <2428> of the Chaldeans <3778> that fight < 3898> against
you, and there remained <7604> [but] wounded <1856> men <0582>
among them, [yet] should they rise <6965> up every man < 0376> in
his tent <0168>, and burn <8313> this <2063> city <5892> with
fire <0784>.



11. And it came <1961> to pass, that when the army < 2428> of
the Chaldeans <3778> was broken <5927> up from Jerusalem <3389>
for fear <6440> of Pharaoh's <6547> army <2428>,



12 Then Jeremiah <3414> went <3318> forth < 3318> out of
Jerusalem <3389> to go <3212> into the land < 0776> of Benjamin
<1144>, to separate <2505> himself thence <8033> in the midst
<8432> of the people <5971>.



13 And when he was in the gate <8179> of Benjamin < 1144>, a
captain <1167> of the ward <6488> [was] there < 8033>, whose name
<8034> [was] Irijah <3376>, the son <1121> of Shelemiah <8018>,
the son <1121> of Hananiah <2608>; and he took < 8610> Jeremiah
<3414> the prophet <5030>, saying <0559>, Thou fallest <5307>
away to the Chaldeans <3778>.



14 Then said <0559> Jeremiah <3414>, [It is] false <8267>; I
fall <5307> not away to the Chaldeans <3778>. But he hearkened
<8085> not to him: so Irijah <3376> took <8610> Jeremiah <3414>,
and brought <0935> him to the princes <8269>.



15 Wherefore the princes <8269> were wroth <7107> with Jeremiah
<3414>, and smote <5221> him, and put <5414> him in prison
<0612> in the house <1004> of Jonathan <3083> the scribe <5608>:
for they had made <6213> that the prison <3608>.



16 When <3588> Jeremiah <3414> was entered < 0935> into <0413>
the dungeon <0953>, and into <0413> the cabins < 2588>, and
Jeremiah <3414> had remained <3427> there <8033> many <7227>
days <3117>;



17 Then Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> sent < 7971>, and took
<3947> him out: and the king <4428> asked <7592> him secretly
<5643> in his house <1004>, and said <0559>, Is there [any] word
<1697> from the LORD <3068>? And Jeremiah <3414> said <0559>,
There is: for, said <0559> he, thou shalt be delivered < 5414>
into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>.



18 Moreover Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> unto king <4428>
Zedekiah <6667>, What <4100> have I offended < 2398> against thee,
or against thy servants <5650>, or against this < 2088> people
<5971>, that ye have put <5414> me in prison?



19 Where <0346> [are] now your prophets <5030> which <0834>
prophesied <5012> unto you, saying <0559>, The king <4428> of
Babylon <0894> shall not come <0935> against < 5921> you, nor
against <5921> this <2063> land <0776>?



20 Therefore hear <8085> now <6254>, I pray < 4994> thee, O my
lord <0113> the king <4428>: let my supplication < 8467>, I pray
<4994> thee, be accepted <5307> before <6440> thee; that thou
cause me not to return <7725> to the house <1004> of Jonathan
<3083> the scribe <5608>, lest <3808> I die < 4191> there <8033>.



21 Then Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> commanded <6680> that
they should commit <6458> Jeremiah <3414> into the court <2691>
of the prison <4307>, and that they should give <5414> him daily
<3117> a piece <3603> of bread <3899> out of the bakers <0644>'
street <2351>, until <5704> all <3605> the bread <3899> in the
city <5892> were spent <8552>. Thus Jeremiah < 3414> remained
<3427> in the court <2691> of the prison <4307>.



Jeremiah 38



1. Then Shephatiah <8203> the son <1121> of Mattan <4977>, and
Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Pashur <6583>, and Jucal
<3116> the son <1121> of Shelemiah <8018>, and Pashur <6583> the
son <1121> of Malchiah <4441>, heard <8085> the words <1697>
that Jeremiah <3414> had spoken <1696> unto all < 3605> the
people <5971>, saying <0559>,



2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, He that remaineth
<3427> in this <2063> city <5892> shall die < 4191> by the sword
<2719>, by the famine <7458>, and by the pestilence <1698>: but
he that goeth <3318> forth <3318> to the Chaldeans <3778> shall
live <2421>; for he shall have his life <5315> for a prey <7998>,
and shall live <2425>.



3 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, This <2063> city
<5892> shall surely be given <5414> into the hand < 3027> of the
king <4428> of Babylon's <0894> army <2428>, which shall take
<3920> it.



4 Therefore the princes <8269> said <0559> unto the king <4428>,
We beseech <4994> thee, let this <2088> man < 0376> be put to
death <4191>: for thus he weakeneth <7503> the hands <3027> of
the men <0582> of war <4421> that remain <7604> in this <2063>
city <5892>, and the hands <3027> of all <3605> the people
<5971>, in speaking <1696> such <0428> words <1697> unto them:
for this <2088> man <0376> seeketh <1875> not the welfare <7965>
of this <2088> people <5971>, but the hurt < 7451>.



5 Then Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> said < 0559>, Behold
<2009>, he [is] in your hand <3027>: for the king < 4428> [is]
not [he that] can <3201> do [any] thing <1697> against you.



6 Then took <3947> they Jeremiah <3414>, and cast <7933> him
into <0413> the dungeon <0953> of Malchiah < 4441> the son <1121>
of Hammelech <4429>, that [was] in the court <2691> of the
prison <4307>: and they let <7971> down <7971> Jeremiah <3414>
with cords <2256>. And in the dungeon <0953> [there was] no
<0369> water <4325>, but mire <2916>: so Jeremiah <3414> sunk
<2883> in the mire <2916>.



7 Now when Ebedmelech <5663> the Ethiopian <3569>, one <0376>
of the eunuchs <5631> which <1931> was in the king's <4428>
house <1004>, heard <8085> that they had put < 5414> Jeremiah
<3414> in the dungeon <0953>; the king <4428> then sitting
<3427> in the gate <8179> of Benjamin <1144>;



8 Ebedmelech <5663> went <3318> forth <3318> out of the king's
<4428> house <1004>, and spake <1696> to the king <4428>, saying
<0559>,



9 My lord <0113> the king <4428>, these <0428> men <0582> have
done evil <7489> in all <3605> that they have done <6213> to
Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>, whom they have cast <7933>
into <0413> the dungeon <0953>; and he is like to die <4191> for
hunger <7457> in the place <8478> where <8478> he is: for [there
is] no <0369> more <5750> bread <3899> in the city <5892>.



10 Then the king <4428> commanded <6680> Ebedmelech <5663> the
Ethiopian <3569>, saying <0559>, Take <3947> from hence <2088>
thirty <7970> men <0582> with thee, and take < 3947> up Jeremiah
<3414> the prophet <5030> out of the dungeon < 0953>, before
<2962> he die <4191>.



11 So Ebedmelech <5663> took <3947> the men < 0582> with him,
and went <0935> into the house <1004> of the king < 4428> under
the treasury <0214>, and took <3947> thence < 8033> old <1094>
cast <5499> clouts <5499> and old <1094> rotten <4418> rags
<4418>, and let <7971> them down <7971> by cords <2256> into
<0413> the dungeon <0953> to Jeremiah <3414>.



12 And Ebedmelech <5663> the Ethiopian <3569> said <0559> unto
Jeremiah <3414>, Put <7760> now <4994> [these] old <1094> cast
<5499> clouts <5499> and rotten <4418> rags < 4418> under <8478>
thine armholes under <8478> the cords <2256>. And Jeremiah
<3414> did <6213> so <3651>.



13 So they drew <4900> up Jeremiah <3414> with cords <2256>,
and took <5927> him up out of the dungeon <0953>: and Jeremiah
<3414> remained <3427> in the court <2691> of the prison <4307>.



14. Then Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> sent < 7971>, and took
<3947> Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> unto him into <0413>
the third <7992> entry <3996> that [is] in the house <1004> of
the LORD <3068>: and the king <4428> said <0559> unto Jeremiah
<3414>, I will ask <7592> thee a thing <1697>; hide <3582>
nothing from me.



15 Then Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> unto Zedekiah <6667>, If
<0518> I declare <5046> [it] unto thee, wilt thou not surely put
me to death <4191>? and if <0518> I give thee counsel <3289>,
wilt thou not hearken <8085> unto me?



16 So Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> sware < 7650> secretly
<5643> unto Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, [As] the LORD <3068>
liveth <2416>, that made <6213> us this <2063> soul <5315>, I
will not put thee to death <4191>, neither <0518> will I give
<5414> thee into the hand <3027> of these <0428> men <0582> that
seek <1245> thy life <5315>.



17 Then said <0559> Jeremiah <3414> unto Zedekiah <6667>, Thus
saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; If <0518> thou wilt assuredly
<3318> go <3318> forth <3318> unto the king < 4428> of Babylon's
<0894> princes <8269>, then thy soul <5315> shall live <2421>,
and this <2063> city <5892> shall not be burned < 8313> with fire
<0784>; and thou shalt live <2421>, and thine house <1004>:



18 But if <0518> thou wilt not go <3318> forth < 3318> to the
king <4428> of Babylon's <0894> princes <8269>, then shall this
<2063> city <5892> be given <5414> into the hand <3027> of the
Chaldeans <3778>, and they shall burn <8313> it with fire <0784>,
and thou shalt not escape <4422> out of their hand < 3027>.



19 And Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> said < 0559> unto
Jeremiah <3414>, I am afraid <1672> of the Jews < 3064> that are
fallen <5307> to the Chaldeans <3778>, lest < 6435> they deliver
<5414> me into their hand <3027>, and they mock < 5953> me.



20 But Jeremiah <3414> said <0559>, They shall not deliver
<5414> [thee]. Obey <8085>, I beseech <4994> thee, the voice
<6963> of the LORD <3068>, which <0834> I speak <1696> unto thee:
so it shall be well <3190> unto thee, and thy soul < 5315> shall
live <2421>.



21 But if thou refuse <3986> to go <3318> forth < 3318>, this
<2088> [is] the word <1697> that the LORD <3068> hath shewed
<7200> me:



22 And, behold <2009>, all <3605> the women < 0802> that are
left <7604> in the king <4428> of Judah's <3063> house <1004>
[shall be] brought <3318> forth <4163> to the king <4428> of
Babylon's <0894> princes <8269>, and those < 2007> [women] shall
say <0559>, Thy friends have set <5496> thee on, and have
prevailed <3201> against thee: thy feet <7272> are sunk <2883>
in the mire <1206>, [and] they are turned <5472> away back
<0268>.



23 So they shall bring <4672> out all <3605> thy wives <0802>
and thy children <1121> to the Chaldeans <3778>: and thou shalt
not escape <4422> out of their hand <3027>, but shalt be taken
<8610> by the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>:
and thou shalt cause this <2063> city <5892> to be burned <8313>
with fire <0784>.



24 Then said <0559> Zedekiah <6667> unto Jeremiah <3414>, Let
no <0408> man <0376> know <3045> of these < 0428> words <1697>,
and thou shalt not die <4191>.



25 But if <3588> the princes <8269> hear <8085> that I have
talked <1696> with thee, and they come <0935> unto thee, and say
<0559> unto thee, Declare <5046> unto us now < 4994> what <4100>
thou hast said <1696> unto the king <4428>, hide < 3582> it not
from us, and we will not put thee to death <4191>; also what
<4100> the king <4428> said <1696> unto thee:



26 Then thou shalt say <0559> unto them, I presented < 5307> my
supplication <8467> before <6440> the king < 4428>, that he would
not cause me to return <7725> to Jonathan's <3129> house <1004>,
to die <4191> there <8033>.



27 Then came <0935> all <3605> the princes < 8269> unto Jeremiah
<3414>, and asked <7592> him: and he told <5046> them according
to all <3605> these <0428> words <1697> that the king <4428> had
commanded <6680>. So they left <2790> off speaking <2790> with
him; for the matter <1697> was not perceived <8085>.



28 So Jeremiah <3414> abode <3427> in the court < 2691> of the
prison <4307> until <5704> the day <3117> that Jerusalem <3389>
was taken <3920>: and he was [there] when <0834> Jerusalem
<3389> was taken <3920>.



Jeremiah 39



1. In the ninth <8671> year <8141> of Zedekiah < 6667> king
<4428> of Judah <3063>, in the tenth <6224> month <2320>, came
<0935> Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> and
all <3605> his army <2428> against <0413> Jerusalem <3389>, and
they besieged <6696> it.



2 [And] in the eleventh year <8141> of Zedekiah < 6667>, in the
fourth <7243> month <2320>, the ninth <8672> [day <3117>] of the
month <2320>, the city <5892> was broken <1234> up.



3 And all <3605> the princes <8269> of the king < 4428> of
Babylon <0894> came <0935> in, and sat <3427> in the middle
<8484> gate <8179>, [even] Nergalsharezer <5371> , Samgarnebo
<5562>, Sarsechim <8310>, Rabsaris <7249>, Nergalsharezer <5371>,
Rabmag <7248>, with all <3605> the residue < 7611> of the
princes <8269> of the king <4428> of Babylon < 0894>.



4 And it came <1961> to pass, [that] when <0834> Zedekiah
<6667> the king <4428> of Judah <3063> saw < 7200> them, and all
<3605> the men <0582> of war <4421>, then they fled <1272>, and
went <3318> forth <3318> out of the city <5892> by night <3915>,
by the way <1870> of the king's <4428> garden < 1588>, by the
gate <8179> betwixt <0996> the two <8147> walls <2346>: and he
went <3318> out the way <1870> of the plain < 6160>.



5 But the Chaldeans <3778>' army <2428> pursued < 7291> after
<0310> them, and overtook <5381> Zedekiah <6667> in the plains
<6160> of Jericho <3405>: and when they had taken < 3947> him,
they brought <5927> him up to Nebuchadnezzar <5019> king <4428>
of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <7247> in the land < 0776> of Hamath
<2574>, where he gave <1696> judgment <4941> upon him.



6 Then the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> slew < 7819> the sons
<1121> of Zedekiah <6667> in Riblah <7247> before his eyes
<5869>: also the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> slew <7819> all
<3605> the nobles <2715> of Judah <3063>.



7 Moreover he put <5786> out Zedekiah's eyes <5869>, and bound
<0631> him with chains <5178>, to carry <0935> him to Babylon
<0894>.



8 And the Chaldeans <3778> burned <8313> the king's <4428>
house <1004>, and the houses <1004> of the people < 5971>, with
fire <0784>, and brake <5422> down <5422> the walls <2346> of
Jerusalem <3389>.



9 Then Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard
<2876> carried <1540> away captive <1540> into Babylon <0894>
the remnant <3499> of the people <5971> that remained <7604> in
the city <5892>, and those that fell <5307> away, that fell
<5307> to him, with the rest <3499> of the people < 5971> that
remained <7604>.



10 But Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain of the guard < 2876> left
<7604> of the poor <1800> of the people <5971>, which <0834> had
nothing, in the land <0776> of Judah <3063>, and gave <5414>
them vineyards <3754> and fields <3010> at the same <1931> time
<3117>.



11. Now Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>
gave charge <6680> concerning <5921> Jeremiah < 3414> to
Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876>,
saying <0559>,



12 Take <3947> him, and look <7760> well to him, and do <6213>
him no <0408> harm <7451>; but do <6213> unto him even <3651> as
he shall say <1696> unto thee.



13 So Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876>
sent <7971>, and Nebushasban <5021>, Rabsaris < 7249>, and
Nergalsharezer <5371>, Rabmag <7248>, and all < 3605> the king
<4428> of Babylon's <0894> princes <7227>;



14 Even they sent <7971>, and took <3947> Jeremiah <3414> out
of the court <2691> of the prison <4307>, and committed <5414>
him unto Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam < 0296> the son
<1121> of Shaphan <8227>, that he should carry < 3318> him home
<1004>: so he dwelt <3427> among <8432> the people <5971>.



15 Now the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came < 1961> unto
Jeremiah <3414>, while he was shut <6113> up in the court <2691>
of the prison <4307>, saying <0559>,



16 Go <1980> and speak <0559> to Ebedmelech < 5663> the
Ethiopian <3569>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the
LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>;
Behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> my words < 1697> upon this
<2063> city <5892> for evil <7451>, and not for good <2896>; and
they shall be [accomplished] in that day <3117> before < 6440>
thee.



17 But I will deliver <5337> thee in that day <3117>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>: and thou shalt not be given <5414> into
the hand <3027> of the men <0582> of whom thou [art] afraid
<3025>.



18 For I will surely deliver <4422> thee, and thou shalt not
fall <5307> by the sword <2719>, but thy life < 5315> shall be
for a prey <7998> unto thee: because <3588> thou hast put thy
trust <0982> in me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> .



Jeremiah 40



1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah < 3414> from the
LORD <3068>, after <0310> that Nebuzaradan < 5018> the captain
<7227> of the guard <2876> had let him go <7971> from Ramah
<7414>, when he had taken <3947> him being bound < 0631> in
chains <0246> among <8432> all <3605> that were carried <1546>
away captive <1546> of Jerusalem <3389> and Judah < 3063>, which
were carried <1540> away captive <1540> unto Babylon <0894>.



2 And the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> took <3947>
Jeremiah <3414>, and said <0559> unto him, The LORD <3068> thy
God <0430> hath pronounced <1691> this <2063> evil <7451> upon
this <2088> place <4725>.



3 Now the LORD <3068> hath brought <0935> [it], and done <6213>
according as he hath said <1696>: because <3588> ye have sinned
<2398> against the LORD <3068>, and have not obeyed <8085> his
voice <6963>, therefore this <2088> thing <1697> is come <1961>
upon you.



4 And now <6258>, behold <2009>, I loose <6605> thee this day
<3117> from the chains <0246> which <0834> [were] upon thine
hand <3027>. If <0518> it seem <5869> good < 2896> unto thee to
come <0935> with me into Babylon <0894>, come < 0935>; and I will
look <7760> well unto thee: but if <0518> it seem < 5869> ill
<7489> unto thee to come <0935> with me into Babylon <0894>,
forbear <2308>: behold <7200>, all <3605> the land <0776> [is]
before <6440> thee: whither <0413> it seemeth < 5869> good <2896>
and convenient <3477> for thee to go <3212>, thither <8033> go
<3212>.



5 Now while he was not yet <5750> gone <7725> back <7725>, [he
said], Go <7725> back <7725> also to Gedaliah < 1436> the son
<1121> of Ahikam <0296> the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227>, whom
<0834> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> hath made governor
<6485> over the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and dwell <3427>
with him among <8432> the people <5971>: or < 0176> go <3212>
wheresoever it seemeth <5869> convenient <3477> unto thee to go
<3212>. So the captain <7227> of the guard < 2876> gave <5414>
him victuals <0737> and a reward <4864>, and let him go <7971>.



6 Then went <0935> Jeremiah <3414> unto Gedaliah < 1436> the son
<1121> of Ahikam <0296> to Mizpah <4708>; and dwelt <3427> with
him among <8432> the people <5971> that were left < 7604> in the
land <0776>.



7. Now when all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428>
which <0834> [were] in the fields <7704>, [even] they and their
men <0582>, heard <8085> that the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>
had made Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam < 0296>
governor <6485> in the land <0776>, and had committed <6485>
unto him men <0582>, and women <0802>, and children <2945>, and
of the poor <1803> of the land <0776>, of them that were not
carried <1540> away captive <1540> to Babylon < 0894>;



8 Then they came <0935> to Gedaliah <1436> to Mizpah <4708>,
even Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah < 5418>, and
Johanan <3110> and Jonathan <3129> the sons < 1121> of Kareah
<7143>, and Seraiah <8304> the son <1121> of Tanhumeth <8576>,
and the sons <1121> of Ephai <5778> the Netophathite <5200>, and
Jezaniah <3153> the son <1121> of a Maachathite < 4602>, they and
their men <0582>.



9 And Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam < 0296> the son
<1121> of Shaphan <8227> sware <7650> unto them and to their men
<0582>, saying <0559>, Fear <3372> not to serve <5647> the
Chaldeans <3778>: dwell <3427> in the land < 0776>, and serve
<5647> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and it shall be well
<3190> with you.



10 As for me, behold <2005>, I will dwell <3427> at Mizpah
<4708> to serve <5975> the Chaldeans <3778>, which <0834> will
come <0935> unto us: but ye, gather <0622> ye wine <3196>, and
summer <7019> fruits, and oil <8081>, and put < 7760> [them] in
your vessels <3627>, and dwell <3427> in your cities <5892> that
ye have taken <8610>.



11 Likewise <1571> when all <3605> the Jews < 3064> that [were]
in Moab <4124>, and among the Ammonites <5984>, and in Edom
<0123>, and that [were] in all <3605> the countries <0776>,
heard <8085> that the king <4428> of Babylon < 0894> had left
<5414> a remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>, and that he had set
<6485> over <5921> them Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam
<0296> the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227>;



12 Even all <3605> the Jews <3064> returned < 7725> out of all
<3605> places <4725> whither they were driven < 5080>, and came
<0935> to the land <0776> of Judah <3063>, to Gedaliah <1436>,
unto Mizpah <4708>, and gathered <0622> wine < 3196> and summer
<7019> fruits very <3966> much <7335>.



13 Moreover Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and
all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces < 2428> that [were]
in the fields <7704>, came <0935> to Gedaliah < 1436> to Mizpah
<4708>,



14 And said <0559> unto him, Dost thou certainly know < 3045>
that Baalis <1185> the king <4428> of the Ammonites <5984> hath
sent <7971> Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418> to
slay thee? But Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296>
believed <0539> them not.



15 Then Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah < 7143> spake
<0559> to Gedaliah <1436> in Mizpah <4709> secretly <5643>,
saying <0559>, Let me go <3212>, I pray thee, and I will slay
<5221> Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418>, and no
<3808> man <0376> shall know <3045> [it]: wherefore <4100>
should he slay <5221> thee, that all <3605> the Jews <3064>
which are gathered <6908> unto thee should be scattered < 6327>,
and the remnant <7611> in Judah <3063> perish < 6>?



16 But Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam < 0296> said
<0559> unto Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, Thou
shalt not do <6213> this <2088> thing <1697>: for thou speakest
<1696> falsely <8267> of Ishmael <3458>.



Jeremiah 41



1. Now it came <1961> to pass in the seventh <7637> month
<2320>, [that] Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418>
the son <1121> of Elishama <0476>, of the seed < 2233> royal
<4410>, and the princes <7227> of the king < 4428>, even ten
<6235> men <0582> with him, came <0935> unto Gedaliah <1436> the
son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> to Mizpah <4709>; and there <8033>
they did <6213> eat <0398> bread <3899> together <3162> in
Mizpah <4709>.



2 Then arose <6965> Ishmael <3458> the son < 1121> of Nethaniah
<5418>, and the ten <6235> men <0582> that were with him, and
smote <5221> Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> the
son <1121> of Shaphan <8227> with the sword < 2719>, and slew
<4191> him, whom <0834> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> had
made governor <6485> over the land <0776>.



3 Ishmael <3458> also slew <5221> all <3605> the Jews <3064>
that were with him, [even] with Gedaliah <1436>, at Mizpah
<4709>, and the Chaldeans <3778> that were found < 4672> there
<8033>, [and] the men <0582> of war <4421>.



4 And it came <1961> to pass the second <8145> day <3117> after
he had slain <4191> Gedaliah <1436>, and no < 3808> man <0376>
knew <3045> [it],



5 That there came <0935> certain <0582> from Shechem <7927>,
from Shiloh <7887>, and from Samaria <8111>, [even] fourscore
<8084> men <0376>, having their beards <2206> shaven <1548>, and
their clothes <0899> rent <7167>, and having cut < 1413>
themselves, with offerings <4503> and incense <3828> in their
hand <3027>, to bring <0935> [them] to the house < 1004> of the
LORD <3068>.



6 And Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah < 5418> went
<3318> forth <3318> from Mizpah <4709> to meet <7125> them,
weeping <1058> all along <1980> as he went < 1980>: and it came
<1961> to pass, as he met <6298> them, he said < 0559> unto them,
Come <0935> to Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296>.



7 And it was [so], when they came <0935> into <0413> the midst
<8432> of the city <5892>, that Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of
Nethaniah <5418> slew <7819> them, [and cast them] into <0413>
the midst <8432> of the pit <0953>, he, and the men <0582> that
[were] with him.



8 But ten <6235> men <0582> were found <4672> among them that
said <0559> unto Ishmael <3458>, Slay <4191> us not: for we have
<3426> treasures <4301> in the field <7704>, of wheat <2406>,
and of barley <8184>, and of oil <8081>, and of honey <1706>. So
he forbare <2308>, and slew <4191> them not among < 8432> their
brethren <0251>.



9 Now the pit <0953> wherein <0834> Ishmael < 3458> had cast
<7993> all <3605> the dead <6297> bodies < 6297> of the men
<0582>, whom <0834> he had slain <5221> because <3027> of
Gedaliah <1436>, [was] it which <0834> Asa < 0609> the king
<4428> had made <6213> for fear <6440> of Baasha <1201> king
<4428> of Israel <3478>: [and] Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of
Nethaniah <5418> filled <4390> it with [them that were] slain
<2491>.



10 Then Ishmael <3458> carried <7617> away captive <7617> all
<3605> the residue <7611> of the people <5971> that [were] in
Mizpah <4709>, [even <0853>] the king's <4428> daughters <1121>,
and all <3605> the people <5971> that remained < 7604> in Mizpah
<4709>, whom <0834> Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the
guard <2876> had committed <6485> to Gedaliah < 1436> the son
<1121> of Ahikam <0296>: and Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of
Nethaniah <5418> carried <7617> them away captive < 7617>, and
departed <3212> to go <5674> over <5674> to the Ammonites <5984>.



11. But when Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>,
and all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces < 2428> that
[were] with him, heard <8085> of all <3605> the evil <7451> that
Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah < 5418> had done
<6213>,



12 Then they took <3947> all <3605> the men < 0582>, and went
<3212> to fight <3898> with Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of
Nethaniah <5418>, and found <4672> him by the great <7227>
waters <4325> that [are] in Gibeon <1391>.



13 Now it came <1961> to pass, [that] when all <3605> the
people <5971> which <0834> [were] with Ishmael < 3458> saw <7200>
Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and all <3605>
the captains <8269> of the forces <2428> that [were] with him,
then they were glad <8056>.



14 So all <3605> the people <5971> that Ishmael < 3458> had
carried <7617> away captive <7617> from Mizpah < 4709> cast
<5437> about <5437> and returned <7725>, and went <3212> unto
Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>.



15 But Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418>
escaped <4422> from Johanan <3110> with eight < 8083> men <0582>,
and went <3212> to the Ammonites <5984>.



16 Then took <3947> Johanan <3110> the son < 1121> of Kareah
<7143>, and all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428>
that [were] with him, all <3605> the remnant <7611> of the
people <5971> whom <0834> he had recovered < 7725> from Ishmael
<3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418>, from Mizpah <4709>,
after <0310> [that] he had slain <5221> Gedaliah < 1436> the son
<1121> of Ahikam <0296>, [even] mighty <1397> men <0582> of war
<4421>, and the women <0802>, and the children < 2945>, and the
eunuchs <5631>, whom <0834> he had brought < 7725> again <7725>
from Gibeon <1391>:



17 And they departed <3212>, and dwelt <3427> in the habitation
<1628> of Chimham <3643>, which <0834> is by Bethlehem <1035>,
to go <3212> to enter <0935> into Egypt <4714>,



18 Because <6440> of the Chaldeans <3778>: for they were afraid
<3372> of them, because <3588> Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of
Nethaniah <5418> had slain <5221> Gedaliah < 1436> the son <1121>
of Ahikam <0296>, whom <0834> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>
made governor <6485> in the land <0776>.



Jeremiah 42



1. Then all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428>,
and Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah < 7143>, and Jezaniah
<3153> the son <1121> of Hoshaiah <1955>, and all <3605> the
people <5971> from the least <6996> even unto the greatest
<1419>, came <5066> near <5066>,



2 And said <0559> unto Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>, Let,
we beseech <4994> thee, our supplication <8467> be accepted
<5307> before <6440> thee, and pray <6419> for us unto the LORD
<3068> thy God <0430>, [even] for all <3605> this <2063> remnant
<7611>; (for we are left <7604> [but] a few < 4592> of many
<7235>, as thine eyes <5869> do behold <7200> us:)



3 That the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> may shew < 5046> us the
way <1870> wherein <0834> we may walk <1980>, and the thing
<1697> that we may do <6213>.



4 Then Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> said < 0559> unto them,
I have heard <8085> [you]; behold <2005>, I will pray <6419>
unto the LORD <3068> your God <0430> according to your words
<1697>; and it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] whatsoever
<3605> thing <1697> the LORD <3068> shall answer <6030> you, I
will declare <5046> [it] unto you; I will keep <4513> nothing
back <4513> from you.



5 Then they said <0559> to Jeremiah <3414>, The LORD <3068> be
a true <0571> and faithful <0539> witness <5707> between <0996>
us, if we do <6213> not even <3651> according to all <3605>
things <1697> for the which <0834> the LORD < 3068> thy God
<0430> shall send <7971> thee to us.



6 Whether <0518> [it be] good <2896>, or whether < 0518> [it be]
evil <7451>, we will obey <8085> the voice < 6963> of the LORD
<3068> our God <0430>, to whom we send <7971> thee; that it may
be well <2896> with us, when <3588> we obey < 8085> the voice
<6963> of the LORD <3068> our God <0430>.



7. And it came <1961> to pass after <7093> ten < 6235> days
<3117>, that the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto
Jeremiah <3414>.



8 Then called <7121> he Johanan <3110> the son < 1121> of Kareah
<7143>, and all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428>
which <0834> [were] with him, and all <3605> the people <5971>
from the least <6996> even to the greatest <1419>,



9 And said <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith < 0559> the LORD
<3068>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, unto whom ye sent
<7971> me to present <5307> your supplication < 8467> before
<6440> him;



10 If <0518> ye will still abide <3427> in this < 2063> land
<0776>, then will I build <1129> you, and not pull <2040> [you]
down, and I will plant <5193> you, and not pluck < 5428> [you] up:
for I repent <5162> me of the evil <7451> that I have done
<6213> unto you.



11 Be not afraid <3372> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>,
of whom ye are afraid <3373>; be not afraid <3372> of him, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>: for I [am] with you to save <3467> you,
and to deliver <5337> you from his hand <3027>.



12 And I will shew <5414> mercies <7356> unto you, that he may
have mercy <7355> upon you, and cause you to return < 7725> to
your own land <0127>.



13 But if <0518> ye say <0559>, We will not dwell <3427> in
this <2063> land <0776>, neither <1115> obey <8085> the voice
<6963> of the LORD <3068> your God <0430>,



14 Saying <0559>, No <3808>; but we will go < 0935> into the
land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, where <0834> we shall see <7200> no
<3808> war <4421>, nor <3808> hear <8085> the sound <6963> of
the trumpet <7782>, nor <3808> have hunger < 7456> of bread
<3899>; and there <8033> will we dwell <3427>:



15 And now <6258> therefore <3651> hear <8085> the word <1697>
of the LORD <3068>, ye remnant <7611> of Judah < 3063>; Thus
<3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God
<0430> of Israel <3478>; If <0518> ye wholly <7760> set <7760>
your faces <6440> to enter <0935> into Egypt < 4714>, and go
<0935> to sojourn <1481> there <8033>;



16 Then it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] the sword < 2719>,
which <0834> ye feared <3373>, shall overtake < 5381> you there
<8033> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, and the famine <7458>,
whereof <0834> ye were afraid <1672>, shall follow <1692> close
<1692> after <0310> you there <8033> in Egypt <4714>; and there
<8033> ye shall die <4191>.



17 So shall it be with all <3605> the men <0582> that set
<7760> their faces <6440> to go <0935> into < 0935> Egypt <4714>
to sojourn <1481> there <8033>; they shall die < 4191> by the
sword <2719>, by the famine <7458>, and by the pestilence <1698>:
and none <3808> of them shall remain <8300> or escape <6412>
from the evil <7451> that I will bring <0935> upon them.



18 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; As mine anger < 0639> and my
fury <2534> hath been poured <5413> forth upon the inhabitants
<3427> of Jerusalem <3389>; so <3651> shall my fury <2534> be
poured <5413> forth upon you, when ye shall enter < 0935> into
<0935> Egypt <4714>: and ye shall be an execration <0423>, and
an astonishment <8047>, and a curse <7045>, and a reproach
<2781>; and ye shall see <7200> this <2088> place <4725> no
<3808> more <5750>.



19 The LORD <3068> hath said <1696> concerning < 5921> you, O ye
remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>; Go <0935> ye not into Egypt
<4714>: know <3045> certainly that I have admonished <5749> you
this day <3117>.



20 For ye dissembled <8582> in your hearts <5315>, when <3588>
ye sent <7971> me unto the LORD <3068> your God < 0430>, saying
<0559>, Pray <6419> for us unto the LORD <3068> our God <0430>;
and according unto all <3605> that the LORD <3068> our God
<0430> shall say <0559>, so <3651> declare < 5046> unto us, and
we will do <6213> [it].



21 And [now] I have this day <3117> declared <5046> [it] to you;
but ye have not obeyed <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD
<3068> your God <0430>, nor any <3605> [thing] for the which
<0834> he hath sent <7971> me unto you.



22 Now <6258> therefore know <3045> certainly that ye shall die
<4191> by the sword <2719>, by the famine <7458> , and by the
pestilence <1698>, in the place <4725> whither ye desire <2654>
to go <0935> [and] to sojourn <1481>.



Jeremiah 43



1. And it came <1961> to pass, [that] when Jeremiah < 3414> had
made an end <3615> of speaking <1696> unto all < 3605> the people
<5971> all <3605> the words <1697> of the LORD <3068> their God
<0430>, for which <0834> the LORD <3068> their God <0430> had
sent <7971> him to them, [even <0853>] all < 3605> these <0428>
words <1697>,



2 Then spake <0559> Azariah <5838> the son < 1121> of Hoshaiah
<1955>, and Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and
all <3605> the proud <2086> men <0582>, saying <0559> unto
Jeremiah <3414>, Thou speakest <1696> falsely < 8267>: the LORD
<3068> our God <0430> hath not sent <7971> thee to say <0559>,
Go <0935> not into Egypt <4714> to sojourn < 1481> there <8033>:



3 But Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah < 5374> setteth
<5496> thee on against us, for to deliver <5414> us into the
hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>, that they might put us to
death <4191>, and carry <1540> us away captives < 1540> into
Babylon <0894>.



4 So Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah < 7143>, and all
<3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428>, and all <3605>
the people <5971>, obeyed <8085> not the voice < 6963> of the
LORD <3068>, to dwell <3427> in the land <0776> of Judah <3063>.



5 But Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah < 7143>, and all
<3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428>, took <3947> all
<3605> the remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>, that were returned
<7725> from all <3605> nations <1471>, whither they had been
driven <5080>, to dwell <1481> in the land < 0776> of Judah
<3063>;



6 [Even <0853>] men <1397>, and women <0802>, and children
<2945>, and the king's <4428> daughters <1121>, and every <3605>
person <5315> that Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain < 7227> of the
guard <2876> had left <3240> with Gedaliah < 1436> the son <1121>
of Ahikam <0296> the son <1121> of Shaphan < 8227>, and Jeremiah
<3414> the prophet <5030>, and Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of
Neriah <5374>.



7 So they came <0935> into the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>: for
they obeyed <8085> not the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068>: thus
came <0935> they [even] to Tahpanhes <8471>.



8. Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068> unto
Jeremiah <3414> in Tahpanhes <8471>, saying < 0559>,



9 Take <3947> great <1419> stones <68> in thine hand <3027>,
and hide <2934> them in the clay <4423> in the brickkiln <4404>,
which <0834> [is] at the entry <6607> of Pharaoh's <6547> house
<1004> in Tahpanhes <8471>, in the sight <5869> of the men
<0582> of Judah <3064>;



10 And say <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith < 0559> the LORD
<3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold
<2005>, I will send <7971> and take <3947> Nebuchadrezzar <5019>
the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, my servant < 5650>, and will
set <7760> his throne <3678> upon these <0428> stones <68> that
I have hid <2934>; and he shall spread <5186> his royal <8237>
pavilion <8237> over <5921> them.



11 And when he cometh <0935>, he shall smite <5221> the land
<0776> of Egypt <4714>, [and deliver] such [as are] for death
<4194> to death <4194>; and such [as are] for captivity <7628>
to captivity <7628>; and such [as are] for the sword < 2719> to
the sword <2719>.



12 And I will kindle <3341> a fire <0784> in the houses <1004>
of the gods <0430> of Egypt <4714>; and he shall burn <8313>
them, and carry <7617> them away captives <7617>: and he shall
array <5844> himself with the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, as a
shepherd <7462> putteth <5844> on his garment < 0899>; and he
shall go <3318> forth <3318> from thence <8033> in peace <7965>.



13 He shall break <7665> also the images <4676> of Bethshemesh
<1053>, that [is] in the land <0776> of Egypt < 4714>; and the
houses <1004> of the gods <0430> of the Egyptians < 4714> shall
he burn <8313> with fire <0784>.



Jeremiah 44



1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah < 3414>
concerning <0413> all <3605> the Jews <3064> which dwell <3427>
in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, which dwell < 3427> at Migdol
<4024>, and at Tahpanhes <8471>, and at Noph < 5297>, and in the
country <0776> of Pathros <6624>, saying <0559>,



2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the
God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Ye have seen <7200> all <3605> the
evil <7451> that I have brought <0935> upon Jerusalem <3389>,
and upon all <3605> the cities <5892> of Judah < 3063>; and,
behold <2009>, this <2088> day <3117> they [are] a desolation
<2723>, and no <0369> man dwelleth <3427> therein,



3 Because <6440> of their wickedness <7451> which <0834> they
have committed <6213> to provoke me to anger <3707>, in that
they went <3212> to burn <6999> incense <6999>, [and] to serve
<5647> other <0312> gods <0430>, whom < 0834> they knew <3045>
not, [neither] they, ye, nor your fathers <1>.



4 Howbeit I sent <7971> unto you all <3605> my servants <5650>
the prophets <5030>, rising <7925> early <7925> and sending
<7971> [them], saying <0559>, Oh <4994>, do < 6213> not this
<2088> abominable <8441> thing <1697> that I hate <8130>.



5 But they hearkened <8085> not, nor <3808> inclined <5186>
their ear <0241> to turn <7725> from their wickedness <7451>, to
burn <6999> no <1115> incense <6999> unto other <0312> gods
<0430>.



6 Wherefore my fury <2534> and mine anger <0639> was poured
<5413> forth, and was kindled <1197> in the cities <5892> of
Judah <3063> and in the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>; and
they are wasted <2723> [and] desolate <8077>, as at this <2088>
day <3117>.



7 Therefore now <6258> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>,
the God <0430> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>;
Wherefore <4100> commit <6213> ye [this] great < 1419> evil
<7451> against <0413> your souls <5315>, to cut <3772> off from
you man <0376> and woman <0802>, child <5768> and suckling
<3243>, out of Judah <3063>, to leave <3498> you none <1115> to
remain <7611>;



8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath <3707> with the works <4639>
of your hands <3027>, burning <6999> incense < 6999> unto other
<0312> gods <0430> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, whither
ye be gone <0935> to dwell <1481>, that ye might cut <3772>
yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse <7045> and a
reproach <2781> among all <3605> the nations < 1471> of the earth
<0776>?



9 Have ye forgotten <7911> the wickedness <7451> of your
fathers <1>, and the wickedness <7451> of the kings <4428> of
Judah <3063>, and the wickedness <7451> of their wives <0802>,
and your own wickedness <7451>, and the wickedness < 7451> of
your wives <0802>, which <0834> they have committed <6213> in
the land <0776> of Judah <3063>, and in the streets <2351> of
Jerusalem <3389>?



10 They are not humbled <1792> [even] unto this < 2088> day
<3117>, neither <3808> have they feared <3372>, nor <3808>
walked <1980> in my law <8451>, nor in my statutes <2708>, that
I set <5414> before <6440> you and before <6440> your fathers
<1>.



11 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I
will set <7760> my face <6440> against you for evil <7451>, and
to cut <3772> off all <3605> Judah <3063>.



12 And I will take <3947> the remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>,
that have set <7760> their faces <6440> to go < 0935> into the
land <0776> of Egypt <4714> to sojourn <1481> there <8033>, and
they shall all <3605> be consumed <8552>, [and] fall <5307> in
the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>; they shall [even] be consumed
<8552> by the sword <2719> [and] by the famine < 7458>: they
shall die <4191>, from the least <6996> even unto the greatest
<1419>, by the sword <2719> and by the famine < 7458>: and they
shall be an execration <0423>, [and] an astonishment < 8047>, and
a curse <7045>, and a reproach <2781>.



13 For I will punish <6485> them that dwell <3427> in the land
<0776> of Egypt <4714>, as I have punished < 6485> Jerusalem
<3389>, by the sword <2719>, by the famine < 7458>, and by the
pestilence <1698>:



14 So that none <3808> of the remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>,
which are gone <0935> into the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> to
sojourn <1481> there <8033>, shall escape <6412> or remain
<8300>, that they should return <7725> into the land <0776> of
Judah <3063>, to the which <0834> they have < 5375> a desire to
return <7725> to dwell <3427> there <8033>: for none <3808>
shall return <7725> but such as shall escape <6412>.



15. Then all <3605> the men <0582> which knew < 3045> that their
wives <0802> had burned <6999> incense <6999> unto other <0312>
gods <0430>, and all <3605> the women <0802> that stood <5975>
by, a great <1419> multitude <6951>, even all < 3605> the people
<5971> that dwelt <3427> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, in
Pathros <6624>, answered <6030> Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>,



16 [As for] the word <1697> that thou hast spoken < 1696> unto
us in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>, we will not hearken
<8085> unto thee.



17 But we will certainly do <6213> whatsoever thing < 1697>
goeth <3318> forth <3318> out of our own mouth < 6310>, to burn
<6999> incense <6999> unto the queen <4446> of heaven <8064>,
and to pour <5258> out drink <5262> offerings unto her, as we
have done <6213>, we, and our fathers <1>, our kings <4428>, and
our princes <8269>, in the cities <5892> of Judah < 3063>, and in
the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>: for [then] had <1961> we
plenty <7646> of victuals <3899>, and were well < 2896>, and saw
<7200> no <3808> evil <7451>.



18 But since we left <2308> off to burn <6999> incense <6999>
to the queen <4446> of heaven <8064>, and to pour < 5258> out
drink <5262> offerings unto her, we have wanted <2637> all
<3605> [things], and have been consumed <8552> by the sword
<2719> and by the famine <7458>.



19 And when <3588> we burned <6999> incense < 6999> to the queen
<4446> of heaven <8064>, and poured <5258> out drink <5262>
offerings unto her, did we make <6213> her cakes < 3561> to
worship <6087> her, and pour <5258> out drink < 5262> offerings
unto her, without <1107> our men <0582>?



20. Then Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> unto all < 3605> the people
<5971>, to the men <1397>, and to the women < 0802>, and to all
<3605> the people <5971> which had given him [that] answer
<6030>, saying <0559>,



21 The incense <7002> that ye burned <6999> in the cities
<5892> of Judah <3063>, and in the streets < 2351> of Jerusalem
<3389>, ye, and your fathers <1>, your kings < 4428>, and your
princes <8269>, and the people <5971> of the land < 0776>, did
not the LORD <3068> remember <2142> them, and came <5927> it
[not] into <5921> his mind <3820>?



22 So that the LORD <3068> could <3201> no < 3808> longer <5750>
bear <5375>, because <6440> of the evil <7455> of your doings
<4611>, [and] because <6440> of the abominations < 8441> which
<0834> ye have committed <6213>; therefore is your land <0776> a
desolation <2723>, and an astonishment <8047>, and a curse
<7045>, without <0369> an inhabitant <3427>, as at this <2088>
day <3117>.



23 Because ye have burned <6999> incense <6999>, and because
<0834> ye have sinned <2398> against the LORD < 3068>, and have
not obeyed <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD < 3068>, nor
<3808> walked <1980> in his law <8451>, nor in his statutes
<2708>, nor in his testimonies <5715>; therefore this <2063>
evil <7451> is happened <7122> unto you, as at this <2088> day
<3117>.



24 Moreover Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> unto all < 3605> the
people <5971>, and to all <3605> the women < 0802>, Hear <8085>
the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, all <3605> Judah <3063> that
[are] in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>:



25 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>; Ye and your
wives <0802> have both spoken <1696> with your mouths <6310>,
and fulfilled <4390> with your hand <3027>, saying <0559>, We
will surely perform <6213> our vows <5088> that we have vowed
<5087>, to burn <6999> incense <6999> to the queen <4446> of
heaven <8064>, and to pour <5258> out drink < 5262> offerings
unto her: ye will surely accomplish <6965> your vows < 5088>, and
surely perform <6213> your vows <5088>.



26 Therefore <3651> hear <8085> ye the word < 1697> of the LORD
<3068>, all <3605> Judah <3063> that dwell < 3427> in the land
<0776> of Egypt <4714>; Behold <2005>, I have sworn <7650> by my
great <1419> name <8034>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, that my
name <8034> shall no <0518> more <5750> be named <7121> in the
mouth <6310> of any <3605> man <0376> of Judah <3063> in all
<3605> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, saying <0559>, The Lord
<0136> GOD <3069> liveth <2416>.



27 Behold <2005>, I will watch <8245> over < 5921> them for evil
<7451>, and not for good <2896>: and all <3605> the men <0376>
of Judah <3063> that [are] in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>
shall be consumed <8552> by the sword <2719> and by the famine
<7458>, until <5704> there be an end <3615> of them.



28 Yet a small <4962> number <4557> that escape < 6412> the
sword <2719> shall return <7725> out of the land < 0776> of Egypt
<4714> into the land <0776> of Judah <3063>, and all <3605> the
remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>, that are gone < 0935> into the
land <0776> of Egypt <4714> to sojourn <1481> there <8033>,
shall know <3045> whose <4310> words <1697> shall stand <6965>,
mine, or theirs <1992>.



29 And this <2063> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto you, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will punish < 6485> you in this
<2088> place <4725>, that ye may know <3045> that my words
<1697> shall surely stand <6965> against <5921> you for evil
<7451>:



30 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I
will give <5414> Pharaohhophra <6548> king < 4428> of Egypt
<4714> into the hand <3027> of his enemies < 0341>, and into the
hand <3027> of them that seek <1245> his life < 5315>; as I gave
<5414> Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah < 3063> into the hand
<3027> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>,
his enemy <0341>, and that sought <1245> his life < 5315>.



Jeremiah 45



1. The word <1697> that Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>
spake <1696> unto Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah <5374>,
when he had written <3789> these words <1697> in a book <5612>
at the mouth <6310> of Jeremiah <3414>, in the fourth <7243>
year <8141> of Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977>
king <4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>,



2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of
Israel <3478>, unto thee, O Baruch <1263>;



3 Thou didst say <0559>, Woe <0188> is me now < 4994>! for the
LORD <3068> hath added <3254> grief <3015> to my sorrow <4341>;
I fainted <3021> in my sighing <0585>, and I find < 4672> no
<3808> rest <4496>.



4 Thus <3541> shalt thou say <0559> unto him, The LORD <3068>
saith <0559> thus <3541>; Behold <2009>, [that] which <0834> I
have built <1129> will I break <2040> down < 2040>, and that
which <0834> I have planted <5193> I will pluck < 5428> up, even
this <1931> whole <3605> land <0776>.



5 And seekest <1245> thou great <1419> things for thyself? seek
<1245> [them] not: for, behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> evil
<7451> upon all <3605> flesh <1320>, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>: but thy life <5315> will I give <5414> unto thee for a
prey <7998> in all <3605> places <4725> whither thou goest
<3212>.



Jeremiah 46



1. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> which < 0834> came <1961>
to Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> against < 5921> the
Gentiles <1471>;



2 Against Egypt <4714>, against the army <2428> of Pharaohnecho
<6549> king <4428> of Egypt <4714>, which < 0834> was by the
river <5104> Euphrates <6578> in Carchemish < 3751>, which <0834>
Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon < 0894> smote <5221>
in the fourth <7243> year <8141> of Jehoiakim < 3079> the son
<1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>.



3 Order <6186> ye the buckler <4043> and shield < 6793>, and
draw near <5066> to battle <4421>.



4 Harness <0631> the horses <5483>; and get < 5927> up, ye
horsemen <6571>, and stand <3320> forth with [your] helmets
<3553>; furbish <4838> the spears <7420>, [and] put <3847> on
the brigandines <5630>.



5 Wherefore <4069> have I seen <7200> them dismayed <2844>
[and] turned <5472> away back <0268>? and their mighty <1368>
ones are beaten <3807> down, and are fled <5127> apace, and look
<6437> not back <6437>: [for] fear <4032> [was] round <5439>
about, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



6 Let not the swift <7031> flee <5127> away, nor < 0408> the
mighty <1368> man escape <4422>; they shall stumble <3782>, and
fall <5307> toward the north <6828> by the river < 5104>
Euphrates <6578>.



7 Who <4310> [is] this <2088> [that] cometh < 5927> up as a
flood <2975>, whose waters <4325> are moved < 1607> as the rivers
<5104>?



8 Egypt <4714> riseth <5927> up like a flood < 2975>, and [his]
waters <4325> are moved <1607> like the rivers < 5104>; and he
saith <0559>, I will go <5927> up, [and] will cover <3680> the
earth <0776>; I will destroy <6> the city <5892> and the
inhabitants <3427> thereof.



9 Come <5927> up, ye horses <5483>; and rage < 1984>, ye
chariots <7393>; and let the mighty <1368> men come <3318> forth
<3318>; the Ethiopians <3569> and the Libyans < 6316>, that
handle <8610> the shield <4043>; and the Lydians < 3866>, that
handle <8610> [and] bend <1869> the bow <7198>.



10 For this <1931> [is] the day <3117> of the Lord <0136> GOD
<3069> of hosts <6635>, a day <3117> of vengeance <5360>, that
he may avenge <5358> him of his adversaries <6862>: and the
sword <2719> shall devour <0398>, and it shall be satiate <7646>
and made drunk <7301> with their blood <1818>: for the Lord
<0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635> hath a sacrifice <2077> in the
north <6828> country <0776> by the river <5104> Euphrates <6578>.



11 Go <5927> up into Gilead <1568>, and take < 3947> balm <6875>,
O virgin <1330>, the daughter <1323> of Egypt < 4714>: in vain
<7723> shalt thou use many <7235> medicines < 7499>; [for] thou
shalt not be cured <8585>.



12. The nations <1471> have heard <8085> of thy shame <7036>,
and thy cry <6682> hath filled <4390> the land < 0776>: for the
mighty <1368> man hath stumbled <3782> against the mighty <1368>,
[and] they are fallen <5307> both <8147> together <3162>.



13 The word <1697> that the LORD <3068> spake < 1696> to
Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>, how Nebuchadrezzar <5019>
king <4428> of Babylon <0894> should come <0935> [and] smite
<5221> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>.



14 Declare <5046> ye in Egypt <4714>, and publish <8085> in
Migdol <4024>, and publish <8085> in Noph <5297> and in
Tahpanhes <8471>: say <0559> ye, Stand <3320> fast, and prepare
<3559> thee; for the sword <2719> shall devour < 0398> round
<5439> about thee.



15 Why <4069> are thy valiant <47> [men] swept < 5502> away?
they stood <5975> not, because <3588> the LORD < 3068> did drive
<1920> them.



16 He made many <7235> to fall <3782>, yea, one < 0376> fell
<5307> upon another <7453>: and they said <0559> , Arise <6965>,
and let us go <7725> again <7725> to our own people <5971>, and
to the land <0776> of our nativity <4138>, from the oppressing
<3238> sword <2719>.



17 They did cry <7121> there <8033>, Pharaoh < 6547> king <4428>
of Egypt <4714> [is but] a noise <7588>; he hath passed <5674>
the time appointed <4150>.



18 [As] I live <2416>, saith <5002> the King < 4428>, whose name
<8034> [is] the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, Surely <3588> as
Tabor <8396> [is] among the mountains <2022>, and as Carmel
<3760> by the sea <3220>, [so] shall he come < 0935>.



19 O thou daughter <1323> dwelling <3427> in Egypt <4714>,
furnish thyself to go into captivity <1473>: for Noph < 5297>
shall be waste <8047> and desolate <3341> without < 0369> an
inhabitant <3427>.



20 Egypt <4714> [is like] a very <3304> fair < 3304> heifer
<5697>, [but] destruction <7171> cometh <0935>; it cometh <0935>
out of the north <6828>.



21 Also <1571> her hired <7916> men [are] in the midst <7130>
of her like fatted <4770> bullocks <5695>; for they also <1571>
are turned <6437> back <6437>, [and] are fled < 5127> away
together <3162>: they did not stand <5975>, because <3588> the
day <3117> of their calamity <0343> was come < 0935> upon them,
[and] the time <6256> of their visitation <6486>.



22 The voice <6963> thereof shall go <3212> like a serpent
<5175>; for they shall march <3212> with an army < 2428>, and
come <0935> against her with axes <7134>, as hewers <2404> of
wood <6086>.



23 They shall cut <3772> down her forest <3293>, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>, though it cannot <3808> be searched <2713>;
because <3588> they are more <7231> than the grasshoppers <0697>,
and [are] innumerable.



24 The daughter <1323> of Egypt <4714> shall be confounded
<3001>; she shall be delivered <5414> into the hand <3027> of
the people <5971> of the north <6828>.



25 The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God < 0430> of Israel
<3478>, saith <0559>; Behold <2005>, I will punish <6485> the
multitude <0582> of No, and Pharaoh <6547>, and Egypt <4714>,
with their gods <0430>, and their kings <4428>; even Pharaoh
<6547>, and [all] them that trust <0982> in him:



26 And I will deliver <5414> them into the hand < 3027> of those
that seek <1245> their lives <5315>, and into the hand <3027> of
Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon < 0894>, and into
the hand <3027> of his servants <5650>: and afterward it shall
be inhabited <7931>, as in the days <3117> of old < 6924>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>.



27 But fear <3372> not thou, O my servant <5650> Jacob <3290>,
and be not dismayed <2865>, O Israel <3478>: for, behold <2005>,
I will save <3467> thee from afar <7350> off, and thy seed
<2233> from the land <0776> of their captivity < 7633>; and Jacob
<3290> shall return <7725>, and be in rest < 8252> and at ease
<7599>, and none <0369> shall make [him] afraid < 2729>.



28 Fear <3372> thou not, O Jacob <3290> my servant <5650>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: for I [am] with thee; for I will
make <6213> a full end <3615> of all <3605> the nations <1471>
whither I have driven <5080> thee: but I will not make < 6213> a
full end <3615> of thee, but correct <3256> thee in measure
<4941>; yet will I not leave thee wholly <5352> unpunished
<5352>.



Jeremiah 47



1. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> that came < 1961> to
Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> against < 0413> the
Philistines <6430>, before <6440> that Pharaoh < 6547> smote
<5221> Gaza <5804>.



2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2009>,
waters <4325> rise <5927> up out of the north < 6828>, and shall
be an overflowing <7857> flood <5158>, and shall overflow <7857>
the land <0776>, and all <4393> that is therein < 4393>; the city
<5892>, and them that dwell <3427> therein: then the men <0120>
shall cry <2199>, and all <3605> the inhabitants < 3427> of the
land <0776> shall howl <3213>.



3 At the noise <6963> of the stamping <8161> of the hoofs
<6541> of his strong <47> [horses], at the rushing <7494> of his
chariots <7393>, [and at] the rumbling <1995> of his wheels
<1534>, the fathers <1> shall not look <6437> back <6437> to
[their] children <1121> for feebleness <7510> of hands <3027>;



4 Because <5921> of the day <3117> that cometh < 0935> to spoil
<7703> all <3605> the Philistines <6430>, [and] to cut <3772>
off from Tyrus <6865> and Zidon <6721> every < 3605> helper
<5826> that remaineth <8300>: for the LORD < 3068> will spoil
<7703> the Philistines <6430>, the remnant < 7611> of the country
<0339> of Caphtor <3731>.



5 Baldness <7144> is come <0935> upon Gaza < 5804>; Ashkelon
<0831> is cut <1820> off [with] the remnant < 7611> of their
valley <6010>: how long <5704> wilt thou cut < 1413> thyself?



6 O thou sword <2719> of the LORD <3068>, how < 5704> long
<5704> [will it be] ere <3808> thou be quiet < 8252>? put <0622>
up thyself into <0413> thy scabbard <8593>, rest < 7280>, and be
still <1826>.



7 How <0349> can it be quiet <8252>, seeing the LORD <3068>
hath given it a charge <6680> against <0413> Ashkelon <0831>,
and against <0413> the sea <3220> shore <2348>? there <8033>
hath he appointed <3259> it.



Jeremiah 48



1. Against Moab <4124> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>
of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478> ; Woe <1945>
unto Nebo <5015>! for it is spoiled <7703>: Kiriathaim <7156> is
confounded <3001> [and] taken <3920>: Misgab < 4869> is
confounded <3001> and dismayed <2865>.



2 [There shall be] no <0369> more <5750> praise < 8416> of Moab
<4124>: in Heshbon <2809> they have devised < 2803> evil <7451>
against <5921> it; come <3212>, and let us cut < 3772> it off
from [being] a nation <1471>. Also <1571> thou shalt be cut
<1826> down, O Madmen <4086>; the sword <2719> shall pursue
<3212> thee.



3 A voice <6963> of crying <6818> [shall be] from Horonaim
<2773>, spoiling <7701> and great <1419> destruction <7667>.



4 Moab <4124> is destroyed <7665>; her little < 6810> ones have
caused a cry <2201> to be heard <8085>.



5 For in the going <4608> up of Luhith <3872> continual weeping
<1065> shall go <5927> up; for in the going < 4174> down <4174>
of Horonaim <2773> the enemies <6862> have heard < 8085> a cry
<6818> of destruction <7667>.



6 Flee <5127>, save <4422> your lives <5315>, and be like
<2421> the heath <6176> in the wilderness <4057> .



7 For because thou hast trusted <0982> in thy works < 4639> and
in thy treasures <0214>, thou shalt also <1571> be taken <3920>:
and Chemosh <3645> shall go <3318> forth <3318> into captivity
<1473> [with] his priests <3548> and his princes < 8269> together
<3162>.



8 And the spoiler <7703> shall come <0935> upon every <3605>
city <5892>, and no <3808> city <5892> shall escape <4422>: the
valley <6010> also shall perish <6>, and the plain <4334> shall
be destroyed <8045>, as the LORD <3068> hath spoken <0559>.



9 Give <5414> wings <6731> unto Moab <4124>, that it may flee
<5323> and get <3318> away <3318>: for the cities <5892> thereof
shall be desolate <8047>, without <0369> any to dwell <3427>
therein <2004>.



10 Cursed <0779> [be] he that doeth <6213> the work <4399> of
the LORD <3068> deceitfully <7423>, and cursed < 0779> [be] he
that keepeth <4513> back <4513> his sword <2719> from blood
<1818>.



11 Moab <4124> hath been at ease <7599> from his youth <5271>,
and he hath settled <8252> on <0413> his lees < 8105>, and hath
not been <1961> emptied <7324> from vessel < 3627> to vessel
<3627>, neither <3808> hath he gone <1980> into captivity <1473>:
therefore his taste <2940> remained <5975> in him, and his
scent <7381> is not changed <4171>.



12 Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days < 3117> come <0935>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will send < 7971> unto him
wanderers <6808>, that shall cause him to wander < 6808>, and
shall empty <7324> his vessels <3627>, and break < 5310> their
bottles <5035>.



13 And Moab <4124> shall be ashamed <0954> of Chemosh <3645>,
as the house <1004> of Israel <3478> was ashamed < 0954> of
Bethel <1008> their confidence <4009>.



14. How <0349> say <0559> ye, We [are] mighty < 1368> and strong
<2428> men <0582> for the war <4421>?



15 Moab <4124> is spoiled <7703>, and gone < 5927> up [out of]
her cities <5892>, and his chosen <4005> young < 0970> men are
gone <3381> down <3381> to the slaughter <2875>, saith <5002>
the King <4428>, whose name <8034> [is] the LORD < 3068> of hosts
<6635>.



16 The calamity <0343> of Moab <4124> [is] near < 7138> to come
<0935>, and his affliction <7451> hasteth <4116> fast <3966>.



17 All <3605> ye that are about <5439> him, bemoan <5110> him;
and all <3605> ye that know <3045> his name < 8034>, say <0559>,
How <0349> is the strong <5797> staff <4294> broken <7665>,
[and] the beautiful <8597> rod <4731>!



18 Thou daughter <1323> that dost inhabit <3427> Dibon <1769>,
come <3381> down <3381> from [thy] glory <3519>, and sit <3427>
in thirst <6772>; for the spoiler <7703> of Moab < 4124> shall
come <5927> upon thee, [and] he shall destroy <7843> thy strong
<4013> holds <4013>.



19 O inhabitant <3427> of Aroer <6177>, stand < 5975> by the way
<1870>, and espy <6822>; ask <7592> him that fleeth <5127>, and
her that escapeth <4422>, [and] say <0559>, What < 4100> is done?



20 Moab <4124> is confounded <3001>; for it is broken <2865>
down: howl <3213> and cry <2199>; tell <5046> ye it in Arnon
<0769>, that Moab <4124> is spoiled <7703>,



21 And judgment <4941> is come <0935> upon the plain <4334>
country <0776>; upon Holon <2473>, and upon Jahazah <3096>, and
upon Mephaath <4158>,



22 And upon Dibon <1769>, and upon Nebo <5015>, and upon
Bethdiblathaim <1015>,



23 And upon Kiriathaim <7156>, and upon Bethgamul < 1014>, and
upon Bethmeon <1010>,



24 And upon Kerioth <7152>, and upon Bozrah <1224>, and upon
all <3605> the cities <5892> of the land <0776> of Moab <4124>,
far <7350> or near <7138>.



25 The horn <7161> of Moab <4124> is cut <1438> off, and his
arm <2220> is broken <7665>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



26 Make ye him drunken <7937>: for he magnified < 1431>
[himself] against <5921> the LORD <3068>: Moab < 4124> also shall
wallow <5606> in his vomit <6892>, and he also < 1571> shall be
in derision <7814>.



27 For was not Israel <3478> a derision <7814> unto thee? was
he found <4672> among thieves <1590>? for since < 1767> thou
spakest <1697> of him, thou skippedst <5110> for joy.



28 O ye that dwell <3427> in Moab <4124>, leave < 5800> the
cities <5892>, and dwell <7931> in the rock < 5553>, and be like
the dove <3123> [that] maketh her nest <7077> in the sides
<5676> of the hole's <6354> mouth <6310>.



29 We have heard <8085> the pride <1347> of Moab < 4124>, (he is
exceeding <3966> proud <1343>) his loftiness < 1363>, and his
arrogancy <1347>, and his pride <1347>, and the haughtiness
<7312> of his heart <3820>.



30 I know <3045> his wrath <5678>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>;
but [it shall] not [be] so <3651>; his lies <0907> shall not so
<3651> effect <6213> [it].



31 Therefore will I howl <3213> for Moab <4124>, and I will cry
<2199> out for all <3605> Moab <4124>; [mine heart] shall mourn
<1897> for the men <0582> of Kirheres <7025>.



32 O vine <1612> of Sibmah <7643>, I will weep < 1058> for thee
with the weeping <1065> of Jazer <3270>: thy plants <5189> are
gone <5674> over <5674> the sea <3220>, they reach <5060> [even]
to the sea <3220> of Jazer <3270>: the spoiler < 7703> is fallen
<5307> upon thy summer <7019> fruits and upon thy vintage <1210>.



33 And joy <8057> and gladness <8057> is taken < 0622> from the
plentiful <3759> field, and from the land <0776> of Moab <4124>;
and I have caused wine <3196> to fail <7673> from the
winepresses <3342>: none <3808> shall tread < 1869> with shouting
<1959>; [their] shouting <1959> [shall be] no < 3808> shouting
<1959>.



34 From the cry <2201> of Heshbon <2809> [even] unto Elealeh
<0500>, [and even] unto Jahaz <3096>, have they uttered <5414>
their voice <6963>, from Zoar <6820> [even] unto Horonaim <2773>,
[as] an heifer <5697> of three <7992> years old < 7992>: for the
waters <4325> also <1571> of Nimrim <5249> shall be desolate
<4923>.



35 Moreover I will cause to cease <7673> in Moab < 4124>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, him that offereth <5927> in the high
<1116> places, and him that burneth <6999> incense <6999> to his
gods <0430>.



36 Therefore mine heart <3820> shall sound <1993> for Moab
<4124> like pipes <2485>, and mine heart <3820> shall sound
<1993> like pipes <2485> for the men <0582> of Kirheres <7025>:
because the riches <3502> [that] he hath gotten <6213> are
perished <6>.



37 For every <3605> head <7218> [shall be] bald < 7144>, and
every <3605> beard <2206> clipped <1639>: upon all <3605> the
hands <3027> [shall be] cuttings <1417>, and upon the loins
<4975> sackcloth <8242>.



38 [There shall be] lamentation <4553> generally < 3605> upon
all <3605> the housetops <1406> of Moab <4124>, and in the
streets <7339> thereof: for I have broken <7665> Moab <4124>
like a vessel <3627> wherein [is] no <0369> pleasure <2656>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



39 They shall howl <3213>, [saying], How <0349> is it broken
<2865> down! how <0349> hath Moab <4124> turned <6437> the back
<6203> with shame <0954>! so shall Moab <4124> be a derision
<7814> and a dismaying <4288> to all <3605> them about <5439>
him.



40 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> ; Behold <2009>,
he shall fly <1675> as an eagle <5404>, and shall spread <6566>
his wings <3671> over <0413> Moab <4124>.



41 Kerioth <7152> is taken <3920>, and the strong <4679> holds
<4679> are surprised <8610>, and the mighty < 1368> men's hearts
<3820> in Moab <4124> at that day <3117> shall be as the heart
<3820> of a woman <0802> in her pangs <6887>.



42 And Moab <4124> shall be destroyed <8045> from [being] a
people <5971>, because he hath magnified <1431> [himself]
against <5921> the LORD <3068>.



43 Fear <6343>, and the pit <6354>, and the snare <6341>,
[shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant <3427> of Moab < 4124>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>.



44 He that fleeth <5211> from the fear <6343> shall fall <5307>
into <0413> the pit <6354>; and he that getteth < 5927> up out of
the pit <6354> shall be taken <3920> in the snare < 6341>: for I
will bring <0935> upon it, [even] upon Moab <4124>, the year
<8141> of their visitation <6486>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



45 They that fled <5127> stood <5975> under the shadow <6738>
of Heshbon <2809> because of the force <3581>: but a fire <0784>
shall come <3318> forth <3318> out of Heshbon < 2809>, and a
flame <3852> from the midst of Sihon <5511>, and shall devour
<0398> the corner <6285> of Moab <4124>, and the crown <6936> of
the head <6936> of the tumultuous ones <1121>.



46 Woe <0188> be unto thee, O Moab <4124>! the people <5971> of
Chemosh <3645> perisheth <6>: for thy sons < 1121> are taken
<3947> captives <7628>, and thy daughters <1121> captives <7633>.



47 Yet will I bring <7725> again <7725> the captivity <7622> of
Moab <4124> in the latter <0319> days <3117>, saith <5002> the
LORD <3068>. Thus <2008> far <2008> [is] the judgment <4941> of
Moab <4124>.



Jeremiah 49



1. Concerning the Ammonites <5984>, thus <3541> saith <0559>
the LORD <3068>; Hath Israel <3478> no <0369> sons <1121>? hath
he no <0369> heir <3423>? why <4069> [then] doth their king
<4428> inherit <3423> Gad <1410>, and his people <5971> dwell
<3427> in his cities <5892>?



2 Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days < 3117> come <0935>,
saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, that I will cause an alarm <8643>
of war <4421> to be heard <8085> in Rabbah < 7237> of the
Ammonites <5984>; and it shall be a desolate <8077> heap <8510>,
and her daughters <1121> shall be burned <3341> with fire <0784>:
then shall Israel <3478> be heir <3423> unto them that were his
heirs <3423>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



3 Howl <3213>, O Heshbon <2809>, for Ai <5857> is spoiled
<7703>: cry <6817>, ye daughters <1121> of Rabbah <7237>, gird
<2296> you with sackcloth <8242>; lament <5594>, and run <7751>
to and fro <7751> by the hedges <1448>; for their king <4428>
shall go <3212> into captivity <1473>, [and] his priests <3548>
and his princes <8269> together <3162>.



4 Wherefore <4100> gloriest <1984> thou in the valleys <6010>,
thy flowing <2100> valley <6010>, O backsliding < 7728> daughter
<1323>? that trusted <0982> in her treasures < 0214>, [saying],
Who <4310> shall come <0935> unto me?



5 Behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> a fear < 6343> upon thee,
saith <5002> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635>, from
all <3605> those that be about <5439> thee; and ye shall be
driven <5080> out every man <0376> right <6440> forth <6440>;
and none <0369> shall gather <6908> up him that wandereth <5074>.



6 And afterward I will bring <7725> again <7725> the captivity
<7622> of the children <1121> of Ammon <5983>, saith <5002> the
LORD <3068>.



7. Concerning Edom <0123>, thus <3541> saith < 0559> the LORD
<3068> of hosts <6635>; [Is] wisdom <2451> no <0369> more <5750>
in Teman <8487>? is counsel <6098> perished <6> from the prudent
<0995>? is their wisdom <2451> vanished <5628>?



8 Flee <5127> ye, turn <6437> back <6437>, dwell <3427> deep
<6009>, O inhabitants <3427> of Dedan <1719>; for I will bring
<0935> the calamity <0343> of Esau <6215> upon him, the time
<6256> [that] I will visit <6485> him.



9 If <0518> grapegatherers <1219> come <0935> to thee, would
they not leave <7604> [some] gleaning <5955> grapes? if <0518>
thieves <1590> by night <3915>, they will destroy < 7843> till
<5704> they have enough <1767>.



10 But I have made Esau <6215> bare <2834>, I have uncovered
<1540> his secret <4565> places, and he shall not be able <3201>
to hide <2247> himself: his seed <2233> is spoiled <7703>, and
his brethren <0251>, and his neighbours <7934>, and he [is] not.



11 Leave <5800> thy fatherless <3490> children < 1121>, I will
preserve <2421> [them] alive <2421>; and let thy widows <0490>
trust <0982> in me.



12 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> ; Behold <2009>,
they whose <0834> judgment <4941> [was] not to drink <8354> of
the cup <3563> have assuredly <8354> drunken < 7937>; and [art]
thou he [that] shall altogether go unpunished <5352>? thou shalt
not go <3212> unpunished <5352>, but thou shalt surely <3588>
drink <8354> [of it].



13 For I have sworn <7650> by myself, saith <5002> the LORD
<3068>, that Bozrah <1224> shall become <1961> a desolation
<8047>, a reproach <2781>, a waste <2721>, and a curse <7045>;
and all <3605> the cities <5892> thereof shall be perpetual
<5769> wastes <2723>.



14 I have heard <8085> a rumour <8052> from the LORD <3068>,
and an ambassador <6735> is sent <7971> unto the heathen <1471>,
[saying], Gather <6908> ye together, and come <0935> against
<5921> her, and rise <6965> up to the battle < 4421>.



15 For, lo <2009>, I will make <5414> thee small < 6996> among
the heathen <1471>, [and] despised <0959> among men <0120>.



16 Thy terribleness <8606> hath deceived <5377> thee, [and] the
pride <2087> of thine heart <3820>, O thou that dwellest <7931>
in the clefts <2288> of the rock <5553>, that holdest <8610> the
height <4791> of the hill <1389>: though <3588> thou shouldest
make thy nest <7064> as high <1361> as the eagle < 5404>, I will
bring <3381> thee down <3381> from thence <8033> , saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>.



17 Also Edom <0123> shall be a desolation <8047>: every <3605>
one that goeth <5674> by it shall be astonished <8074> , and
shall hiss <8319> at <5921> all <3605> the plagues <4347>
thereof.



18 As in the overthrow <4114> of Sodom <5467> and Gomorrah
<6017> and the neighbour <7934> [cities] thereof, saith <0559>
the LORD <3068>, no <3808> man <0376> shall abide <3427> there
<8033>, neither <3808> shall a son <1121> of man <0120> dwell
<1481> in it.



19 Behold <2009>, he shall come <5927> up like a lion <0738>
from the swelling <1347> of Jordan <3383> against < 0413> the
habitation <5116> of the strong <0386>: but I will suddenly
<7280> make him run <7323> away from her: and who < 4310> [is] a
chosen <0970> [man, that] I may appoint <6485> over <0413> her?
for who <4310> [is] like <3644> me? and who < 4310> will appoint
<3259> me the time? and who <4310> [is] that shepherd <7462>
that will stand <5975> before <6440> me?



20 Therefore <3651> hear <8085> the counsel < 6098> of the LORD
<3068>, that he hath taken <3289> against <0413> Edom <0123>;
and his purposes <4284>, that he hath purposed <2803> against
<0413> the inhabitants <3427> of Teman <8487>: Surely the least
<6810> of the flock <6629> shall draw <5498> them out: surely he
shall make their habitations <5116> desolate <8074> with them.



21 The earth <0776> is moved <7493> at the noise < 6963> of
their fall <5307>, at the cry <6818> the noise < 6963> thereof
was heard <8085> in the Red <5488> sea <3220>.



22 Behold <2009>, he shall come <5927> up and fly <1675> as the
eagle <5404>, and spread <6566> his wings <3671> over <5921>
Bozrah <1224>: and at that day <3117> shall the heart <3820> of
the mighty <1368> men of Edom <0123> be as the heart <3820> of a
woman <0802> in her pangs <6887>.



23. Concerning Damascus <1834>. Hamath <2574> is confounded
<0954>, and Arpad <0774>: for they have heard < 8085> evil <7451>
tidings <8052>: they are fainthearted <4127>; [there is] sorrow
<1974> on the sea <3220>; it cannot be quiet < 8252>.



24 Damascus <1834> is waxed feeble <7503>, [and] turneth <6437>
herself to flee <5127>, and fear <7374> hath seized <2388> on
[her]: anguish <6869> and sorrows <2256> have taken <0270> her,
as a woman in travail <3205>.



25 How <0349> is the city <5892> of praise < 8416> not left
<5800>, the city <7151> of my joy <4885>!



26 Therefore <3651> her young <0970> men shall fall <5307> in
her streets <7339>, and all <3605> the men < 0582> of war <4421>
shall be cut <1826> off in that day <3117>, saith < 5002> the
LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.



27 And I will kindle <3341> a fire <0784> in the wall <2346> of
Damascus <1834>, and it shall consume <0398> the palaces <0759>
of Benhadad <1130>.



28. Concerning Kedar <6938>, and concerning the kingdoms <4467>
of Hazor <2674>, which <0834> Nebuchadrezzar < 5019> king <4428>
of Babylon <0894> shall smite <5221>, thus < 3541> saith <0559>
the LORD <3068>; Arise <6965> ye, go <5927> up to Kedar <6938>,
and spoil <7703> the men <1121> of the east < 6924>.



29 Their tents <0168> and their flocks <6629> shall they take
<3947> away: they shall take <5375> to themselves < 1992> their
curtains <3407>, and all <3605> their vessels < 3627>, and their
camels <1581>; and they shall cry <7121> unto them, Fear <4032>
[is] on every <5437> side <5439>.



30 Flee <5127>, get <5110> you far <3966> off, dwell <3427>
deep <6009>, O ye inhabitants <3427> of Hazor < 2674>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>; for Nebuchadrezzar < 5019> king <4428> of
Babylon <0894> hath taken counsel <6098> against < 5921> you, and
hath conceived <2030> a purpose <4284> against < 5921> you.



31 Arise <6965>, get <5927> you up unto the wealthy <7961>
nation <1471>, that dwelleth <3427> without care < 0983>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, which have neither < 3808> gates <1817>
nor <3808> bars <1280>, [which] dwell <7931> alone <0909>.



32 And their camels <1581> shall be a booty <0957>, and the
multitude <0527> of their cattle <4734> a spoil < 7998>: and I
will scatter <2219> into all <3605> winds <7307> them [that are]
in the utmost <7112> corners <6285>; and I will bring <0935>
their calamity <0343> from all <3605> sides < 5676> thereof,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



33 And Hazor <2674> shall be a dwelling <4583> for dragons
<8577>, [and] a desolation <8077> for ever < 5769>: there shall
no <3808> man <0376> abide <3427> there < 8033>, nor <3808> [any]
son <1121> of man <0120> dwell <1481> in it.



34. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> that came < 1961> to
Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> against < 0413> Elam <5867> in
the beginning <7225> of the reign <4438> of Zedekiah <6667> king
<4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>,



35 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;
Behold <2005>, I will break <7665> the bow < 7198> of Elam <5867>,
the chief <7225> of their might <1369>.



36 And upon Elam <5867> will I bring <0935> the four <0702>
winds <7307> from the four <0702> quarters < 7098> of heaven
<8064>, and will scatter <2219> them toward all < 3605> those
<0428> winds <7307>; and there shall be no < 3808> nation <1471>
whither the outcasts <5080> of Elam <5867> shall not come <0935>.



37 For I will cause Elam <5867> to be dismayed <2865> before
<6440> their enemies <0341>, and before <6440> them that seek
<1245> their life <5315>: and I will bring < 0935> evil <7451>
upon them, [even <0853>] my fierce <2740> anger < 0639>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>; and I will send <7971> the sword <2719>
after <0310> them, till <5704> I have consumed < 3615> them:



38 And I will set <7760> my throne <3678> in Elam <5867>, and
will destroy <6> from thence <8033> the king < 4428> and the
princes <8269>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



39 But it shall come <1961> to pass in the latter < 0319> days
<3117>, [that] I will bring <7725> again <7725> the captivity
<7622> of Elam <5867>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



Jeremiah 50



1. The word <1697> that the LORD <3068> spake < 1696> against
<0413> Babylon <0894> [and] against <0413> the land <0776> of
the Chaldeans <3778> by Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>.



2 Declare <5046> ye among the nations <1471>, and publish
<8085>, and set <5375> up a standard <5251>; publish <8085>,
[and] conceal <3582> not: say <0559>, Babylon < 0894> is taken
<3920>, Bel <1078> is confounded <3001>, Merodach <4781> is
broken <2844> in pieces; her idols <6091> are confounded <3001>,
her images <1544> are broken <2865> in pieces.



3 For out of the north <6828> there cometh <5927> up a nation
<1471> against <5921> her, which <1931> shall make <7896> her
land <0776> desolate <8047>, and none <3808> shall dwell <3427>
therein: they shall remove <5110>, they shall depart < 1980>,
both man <0120> and beast <0929>.



4 In those <1992> days <3117>, and in that time < 6256>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, the children <1121> of Israel <3478>
shall come <0935>, they and the children <1121> of Judah <3063>
together <3162>, going <1980> and weeping <1058> : they shall go
<3212>, and seek <1245> the LORD <3068> their God <0430>.



5 They shall ask <7592> the way <1870> to Zion < 6726> with
their faces <6440> thitherward <2008>, [saying], Come <0935>,
and let us join <3867> ourselves to the LORD <3068> in a
perpetual <5769> covenant <1285> [that] shall not be forgotten
<7911>.



6 My people <5971> hath been <1961> lost <6> sheep <6629>:
their shepherds <7462> have caused them to go <8582> astray
<8582>, they have turned <7725> them away [on] the mountains
<2022>: they have gone <1980> from mountain < 2022> to hill
<1389>, they have forgotten <7911> their restingplace <7258>.



7 All <3605> that found <4672> them have devoured <0398> them:
and their adversaries <6862> said <0559>, We offend <0816> not,
because they have sinned <2398> against the LORD < 3068>, the
habitation <5116> of justice <6664>, even the LORD <3068>, the
hope <4723> of their fathers <1>.



8 Remove <5110> out of the midst <8432> of Babylon <0894>, and
go <3318> forth <3318> out of the land <0776> of the Chaldeans
<3778>, and be as the he goats <6260> before < 6440> the flocks
<6629>.



9. For, lo <2009>, I will raise <5782> and cause to come <5927>
up against <5921> Babylon <0894> an assembly < 6951> of great
<1419> nations <1471> from the north <6828> country <0776>: and
they shall set themselves in array <6186> against her; from
thence <8033> she shall be taken <3920>: their arrows <2671>
[shall be] as of a mighty <1368> expert <7919> man; none <3808>
shall return <7725> in vain <7387>.



10 And Chaldea <3778> shall be a spoil <7998>: all <3605> that
spoil <7998> her shall be satisfied <7646>, saith < 5002> the
LORD <3068>.



11 Because <3588> ye were glad <8056>, because < 3588> ye
rejoiced <5937>, O ye destroyers <8154> of mine heritage <5159>,
because <3588> ye are grown <6335> fat <6335> as the heifer
<5697> at grass <1877>, and bellow <6670> as bulls <47>;



12 Your mother <0517> shall be sore <3966> confounded <0954>;
she that bare <3205> you shall be ashamed <2659>: behold <2009>,
the hindermost <0319> of the nations <1471> [shall be] a
wilderness <4057>, a dry <6723> land, and a desert <6160>.



13 Because of the wrath <7110> of the LORD <3068> it shall not
be inhabited <3427>, but it shall be wholly <3605> desolate
<8077>: every <3605> one that goeth <5674> by Babylon <0894>
shall be astonished <8074>, and hiss <8319> at < 5921> all <3605>
her plagues <4347>.



14 Put yourselves in array <6186> against <5921> Babylon <0894>
round <5439> about: all <3605> ye that bend < 1869> the bow
<7198>, shoot <3034> at <0413> her, spare < 2550> no <0408>
arrows <2671>: for she hath sinned <2398> against the LORD
<3068>.



15 Shout <7321> against <5921> her round <5439> about: she hath
given <5414> her hand <3027>: her foundations < 0803> are fallen
<5307>, her walls <2346> are thrown <2040> down <2040>: for it
[is] the vengeance <5360> of the LORD <3068>: take vengeance
<5358> upon her; as she hath done <6213>, do < 6213> unto her.



16 Cut <3772> off the sower <2232> from Babylon < 0894>, and him
that handleth <8610> the sickle <4038> in the time <6256> of
harvest <7105>: for fear <6440> of the oppressing < 3238> sword
<2719> they shall turn <6437> every <0376> one <0376> to his
people <5971>, and they shall flee <5127> every < 0376> one
<0376> to his own land <0776>.



17 Israel <3478> [is] a scattered <6340> sheep < 7716>; the
lions <0738> have driven <5080> [him] away: first < 7223> the
king <4428> of Assyria <0804> hath devoured < 0398> him; and last
<0314> this <2088> Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon
<0894> hath broken <6105> his bones <6106>.



18 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I
will punish <6485> the king <4428> of Babylon < 0894> and his
land <0776>, as I have punished <6485> the king < 4428> of
Assyria <0804>.



19 And I will bring <7725> Israel <3478> again < 7725> to his
habitation <5116>, and he shall feed <7462> on Carmel <3760> and
Bashan <1316>, and his soul <5315> shall be satisfied <7646>
upon mount <2022> Ephraim <0669> and Gilead < 1568>.



20 In those <1992> days <3117>, and in that time < 6256>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, the iniquity <5771> of Israel <3478>
shall be sought <1245> for, and [there shall be] none < 0369>;
and the sins <2403> of Judah <3063>, and they shall not be found
<4672>: for I will pardon <5545> them whom < 0834> I reserve
<7604>.



21. Go <5927> up against <5921> the land <0776> of Merathaim
<4850>, [even] against <5921> it, and against < 0413> the
inhabitants <3427> of Pekod <6489>: waste <2717> and utterly
destroy <2763> after <0310> them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>,
and do <6213> according to all <3605> that I have commanded
<6680> thee.



22 A sound <6963> of battle <4421> [is] in the land <0776>, and
of great <1419> destruction <7667>.



23 How <0349> is the hammer <6360> of the whole < 3605> earth
<0776> cut <1438> asunder and broken <7665>! how <0349> is
Babylon <0894> become <1961> a desolation <8047> among the
nations <1471>!



24 I have laid a snare <3369> for thee, and thou art also
<1571> taken <3920>, O Babylon <0894>, and thou wast not aware
<3045>: thou art found <4672>, and also <1571> caught <8610>,
because <3588> thou hast striven <1624> against the LORD <3068>.



25 The LORD <3068> hath opened <6605> his armoury <0214>, and
hath brought <3318> forth <3318> the weapons < 3627> of his
indignation <2195>: for this <1931> [is] the work < 4399> of the
Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635> in the land <0776> of the
Chaldeans <3778>.



26 Come <0935> against her from the utmost <7093> border <7093>,
open <6605> her storehouses <3965>: cast <5549> her up as heaps
<6194>, and destroy <2763> her utterly: let nothing <0408> of
her be left <7611>.



27 Slay <2717> all <3605> her bullocks <6499>; let them go
<3381> down <3381> to the slaughter <2875>: woe <1945> unto them!
for their day <3117> is come <0935>, the time < 6256> of their
visitation <6486>.



28 The voice <6963> of them that flee <5127> and escape <6412>
out of the land <0776> of Babylon <0894>, to declare <5046> in
Zion <6726> the vengeance <5360> of the LORD < 3068> our God
<0430>, the vengeance <5360> of his temple < 1964>.



29 Call <8085> together the archers <7228> against <0413>
Babylon <0894>: all <3605> ye that bend <1869> the bow <7198>,
camp <2583> against <5921> it round <5439> about; let none
<0408> thereof escape <6413>: recompense <7999> her according to
her work <6467>; according to all <3605> that she hath done
<6213>, do <6213> unto her: for she hath been proud <2102>
against <0413> the LORD <3068>, against <0413> the Holy <6944>
One of Israel <3478>.



30 Therefore <3651> shall her young <0970> men fall <5307> in
the streets <7339>, and all <3605> her men < 0582> of war <4421>
shall be cut <1826> off in that day <3117>, saith < 5002> the
LORD <3068>.



31 Behold <2005>, I [am <1961>] against <0413> thee, [O thou]
most proud <2087>, saith <5002> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of
hosts <6635>: for thy day <3117> is come <0935>, the time <6256>
[that] I will visit <6485> thee.



32 And the most proud <2087> shall stumble <3782> and fall
<5307>, and none <0369> shall raise <6965> him up: and I will
kindle <3341> a fire <0784> in his cities <5892> , and it shall
devour <0398> all <3605> round <5439> about him.



33. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;
The children <1121> of Israel <3478> and the children <1121> of
Judah <3063> [were] oppressed <6231> together < 3162>: and all
<3605> that took them captives <7617> held < 2388> them fast;
they refused <3985> to let them go <7971>.



34 Their Redeemer <1350> [is] strong <2389>; the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>: he shall throughly plead
<7378> their cause <7379>, that he may give rest < 7280> to the
land <0776>, and disquiet <7264> the inhabitants < 3427> of
Babylon <0894>.



35 A sword <2719> [is] upon the Chaldeans <3778>, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>, and upon the inhabitants <3427> of Babylon
<0894>, and upon her princes <8269>, and upon her wise <2450>
[men].



36 A sword <2719> [is] upon the liars <0907>; and they shall
dote <2973>: a sword <2719> [is] upon her mighty < 1368> men; and
they shall be dismayed <2865>.



37 A sword <2719> [is] upon their horses <5483>, and upon their
chariots <7393>, and upon all <3605> the mingled < 6154> people
that [are] in the midst <8432> of her; and they shall become
<1961> as women <0802>: a sword <2719> [is] upon her treasures
<0214>; and they shall be robbed <0962>.



38 A drought <2721> [is] upon her waters <4325>; and they shall
be dried <3001> up: for it [is] the land <0776> of graven <6456>
images, and they are mad <1984> upon [their] idols < 0367>.



39 Therefore <3651> the wild <6728> beasts < 6728> of the desert
<6728> with the wild <0338> beasts <0338> of the islands <0339>
shall dwell <3427> [there], and the owls shall dwell < 3427>
therein: and it shall be no <3808> more <5750> inhabited <3427>
for ever <5331>; neither <3808> shall it be dwelt < 7931> in from
generation <1755> to generation <1755>.



40 As God <0430> overthrew <4114> Sodom <5467> and Gomorrah
<6017> and the neighbour <7934> [cities] thereof, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>; [so] shall no <3808> man <0376> abide <3427>
there <8033>, neither <3808> shall any son < 1121> of man <0120>
dwell <1481> therein.



41 Behold <2009>, a people <5971> shall come < 0935> from the
north <6828>, and a great <1419> nation <1471>, and many <7227>
kings <4428> shall be raised <5782> up from the coasts <3411> of
the earth <0776>.



42 They shall hold <2388> the bow <7198> and the lance <3591>:
they [are] cruel <0394>, and will not shew mercy < 7355>: their
voice <6963> shall roar <1993> like the sea < 3220>, and they
shall ride <7392> upon horses <5483>, [every one] put in array
<6186>, like a man <0376> to the battle <4421>, against <5921>
thee, O daughter <1323> of Babylon <0894>.



43 The king <4428> of Babylon <0894> hath heard < 8085> the
report <8088> of them, and his hands <3027> waxed feeble <7503>:
anguish <6869> took hold <2388> of him, [and] pangs <2427> as of
a woman in travail <3205>.



44 Behold <2009>, he shall come <5927> up like a lion <0738>
from the swelling <1347> of Jordan <3383> unto the habitation
<5116> of the strong <0386>: but I will make them suddenly
<7280> run <7323> away from her: and who <4310> [is] a chosen
<0970> [man, that] I may appoint <6485> over < 0413> her? for who
<4310> [is] like <3644> me? and who <4310> will appoint <3259>
me the time? and who <4310> [is] that shepherd <7462> that will
stand <5975> before <6440> me?



45 Therefore <3651> hear <8085> ye the counsel < 6098> of the
LORD <3068>, that he hath taken <3289> against < 0413> Babylon
<0894>; and his purposes <4284>, that he hath purposed <2803>
against <0413> the land <0776> of the Chaldeans < 3778>: Surely
the least <6810> of the flock <6629> shall draw < 5498> them out:
surely he shall make [their] habitation <5116> desolate < 8074>
with them.



46 At the noise <6963> of the taking <8610> of Babylon <0894>
the earth <0776> is moved <7493>, and the cry < 2201> is heard
<8085> among the nations <1471>.



Jeremiah 51



1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I
will raise <5782> up against <5921> Babylon < 0894>, and against
<0413> them that dwell <3427> in the midst < 3820> of them that
rise <6965> up against me, a destroying <7843> wind <7307>;



2 And will send <7971> unto Babylon <0894> fanners <2114>, that
shall fan <2219> her, and shall empty <1238> her land <0776>:
for in the day <3117> of trouble <7451> they shall be against
<5921> her round <5439> about.



3 Against <0413> [him that] bendeth <1869> let the archer
<1869> bend <1869> his bow <7198>, and against <0413> [him that]
lifteth <5927> himself up in his brigandine <5630>: and spare
<2550> ye not her young <0970> men; destroy < 2763> ye utterly
all <3605> her host <6635>.



4 Thus the slain <2491> shall fall <5307> in the land <0776> of
the Chaldeans <3778>, and [they that are] thrust < 1856> through
<1856> in her streets <2351>.



5 For Israel <3478> [hath] not [been] forsaken <0488> , nor
Judah <3063> of his God <0430>, of the LORD < 3068> of hosts
<6635>; though <3588> their land <0776> was filled <4390> with
sin <0817> against the Holy <6918> One of Israel < 3478>.



6 Flee <5127> out of the midst <8432> of Babylon < 0894>, and
deliver <4422> every man <0376> his soul <5315>: be not cut
<1826> off in her iniquity <5771>; for this < 1931> [is] the time
<6256> of the LORD'S <3068> vengeance <5360>; he will render
<7999> unto her a recompence <1576>.



7 Babylon <0894> [hath been] a golden <2091> cup < 3563> in the
LORD'S <3068> hand <3027>, that made all <3605> the earth <0776>
drunken <7937>: the nations <1471> have drunken < 8354> of her
wine <3196>; therefore the nations <1471> are mad < 1984>.



8 Babylon <0894> is suddenly <6597> fallen < 5307> and destroyed
<7665>: howl <3213> for her; take <3947> balm <6875> for her
pain <4341>, if <0194> so be she may be healed < 7495>.



9 We would have healed <7495> Babylon <0894>, but she is not
healed <7495>: forsake <5800> her, and let us go < 3212> every
<0376> one <0376> into his own country <0776>: for her judgment
<4941> reacheth <5060> unto heaven <8064>, and is lifted <5375>
up [even] to the skies <7834>.



10 The LORD <3068> hath brought <3318> forth < 3318> our
righteousness <6666>: come <0935>, and let us declare <5608> in
Zion <6726> the work <4639> of the LORD <3068> our God <0430>.



11 Make bright <1305> the arrows <1121>; gather < 4390> the
shields <7982>: the LORD <3068> hath raised < 5782> up the spirit
<7307> of the kings <4428> of the Medes <4074>: for his device
<4209> [is] against <5921> Babylon <0894>, to destroy <7843> it;
because <3588> it [is] the vengeance <5360> of the LORD <3068>,
the vengeance <5360> of his temple <1964>.



12 Set <5375> up the standard <5251> upon the walls <2346> of
Babylon <0894>, make the watch <4929> strong < 2388>, set <6965>
up the watchmen <8104>, prepare <3559> the ambushes <0693>: for
the LORD <3068> hath both <1571> devised <2161> and done <6213>
that which <0834> he spake <1696> against <0413> the inhabitants
<3427> of Babylon <0894>.



13 O thou that dwellest <7931> upon many <7227> waters <4325>,
abundant <7227> in treasures <0214>, thine end < 7093> is come
<0935>, [and] the measure <0520> of thy covetousness <1215>.



14 The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath sworn < 7650> by himself
<5315>, [saying], Surely I will fill <4390> thee with men <0120>,
as with caterpillers <3218>; and they shall lift < 6030> up a
shout <1959> against <5921> thee.



15 He hath made <6213> the earth <0776> by his power <3581>, he
hath established <3559> the world <8398> by his wisdom <2451>,
and hath stretched <5186> out the heaven <8064> by his
understanding <8394>.



16 When he uttereth <5414> [his] voice <6963>, [there is] a
multitude <0527> of waters <4325> in the heavens < 8064>; and he
causeth the vapours <5387> to ascend <5927> from the ends <7097>
of the earth <0776>: he maketh <6213> lightnings < 1300> with
rain <4306>, and bringeth <3318> forth <3318> the wind <7307>
out of his treasures <0214>.



17 Every <3605> man <0120> is brutish <1197> by [his] knowledge
<1847>; every <3605> founder <6884> is confounded <3001> by the
graven <6459> image <6459>: for his molten < 5262> image [is]
falsehood <8267>, and [there is] no <3808> breath < 7307> in them.



18 They [are] vanity <1892>, the work <4639> of errors <8595>:
in the time <6256> of their visitation <6486> they shall perish
<6>.



19 The portion <2506> of Jacob <3290> [is] not like them; for
he [is] the former <3335> of all <3605> things: and [Israel
<3478> is] the rod <7626> of his inheritance < 5159>: the LORD
<3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>.



20 Thou [art] my battle <4661> axe <4601> [and] weapons <3627>
of war <4421>: for with thee will I break <5310> in pieces the
nations <1471>, and with thee will I destroy <7843> kingdoms
<4467>;



21 And with thee will I break <5310> in pieces the horse <5483>
and his rider <7392>; and with thee will I break < 5310> in
pieces the chariot <7393> and his rider <7392>;



22 With thee also will I break <5310> in pieces man < 0376> and
woman <0802>; and with thee will I break <5310> in pieces old
<2205> and young <5288>; and with thee will I break <5310> in
pieces the young <0970> man and the maid <1330>;



23 I will also break <5310> in pieces with thee the shepherd
<7462> and his flock <5739>; and with thee will I break <5310>
in pieces the husbandman <0406> and his yoke <6776> of oxen; and
with thee will I break <5310> in pieces captains < 6346> and
rulers <5461>.



24 And I will render <7999> unto Babylon <0894> and to all
<3605> the inhabitants <3427> of Chaldea <3778> all <3605> their
evil <7451> that they have done <6213> in Zion < 6726> in your
sight <5869>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



25 Behold <2005>, I [am] against <0413> thee, O destroying
<4889> mountain <2022>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, which
destroyest <7843> all <3605> the earth <0776>: and I will
stretch <5186> out mine hand <3027> upon thee, and roll <1556>
thee down from the rocks <5553>, and will make <5414> thee a
burnt <8316> mountain <2022>.



26 And they shall not take <3947> of thee a stone < 68> for a
corner <6438>, nor a stone <68> for foundations < 4146>; but thou
shalt be desolate <8077> for ever <5769>, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>.



27 Set <5375> ye up a standard <5251> in the land <0776>, blow
<8628> the trumpet <7782> among the nations < 1471>, prepare
<6942> the nations <1471> against <5921> her, call <8085>
together against <5921> her the kingdoms <4467> of Ararat <0780>,
Minni <4508>, and Ashchenaz <0813>; appoint < 6485> a captain
<2951> against <5921> her; cause the horses < 5483> to come
<5927> up as the rough <5569> caterpillers < 3218>.



28 Prepare <6942> against <5921> her the nations < 1471> with
the kings <4428> of the Medes <4074>, the captains <6346>
thereof, and all <3605> the rulers <5461> thereof, and all
<3605> the land <0776> of his dominion <4475>.



29 And the land <0776> shall tremble <7493> and sorrow <2342>:
for every purpose <4284> of the LORD <3068> shall be performed
<6965> against <5921> Babylon <0894>, to make <7760> the land
<0776> of Babylon <0894> a desolation <8047> without <0369> an
inhabitant <3427>.



30 The mighty <1368> men of Babylon <0894> have forborn <2308>
to fight <3898>, they have remained <3427> in [their] holds
<4679>: their might <1369> hath failed <5405>; they became
<1961> as women <0802>: they have burned <3341> her
dwellingplaces <4908>; her bars <1280> are broken < 7665>.



31 One post <7323> shall run <7323> to meet < 7125> another, and
one messenger <5046> to meet <7125> another, to shew <5046> the
king <4428> of Babylon <0894> that his city < 5892> is taken
<3920> at [one] end <7097>,



32 And that the passages <4569> are stopped <8610>, and the
reeds <98> they have burned <8313> with fire < 0784>, and the men
<0582> of war <4421> are affrighted <0926>.



33 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; The daughter < 1323> of Babylon
<0894> [is] like a threshingfloor <1637>, [it is] time <6256> to
thresh <1869> her: yet <5750> a little <4592> while, and the
time <6256> of her harvest <7105> shall come < 0935>.



34 Nebuchadrezzar <5019> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> hath
devoured <0398> me, he hath crushed <2000> me, he hath made
<3322> me an empty <7385> vessel <3627>, he hath swallowed
<1104> me up like a dragon <8577>, he hath filled < 4390> his
belly <3770> with my delicates <5730>, he hath cast <1740> me
out.



35 The violence <2555> done <6213> to me and to my flesh <7607>
[be] upon Babylon <0894>, shall the inhabitant <3427> of Zion
<6726> say <0559>; and my blood <1818> upon the inhabitants
<3427> of Chaldea <3778>, shall Jerusalem <3389> say <0559>.



36 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>;
Behold <2005>, I will plead <7378> thy cause < 7379>, and take
vengeance <5360> for thee; and I will dry <6717> up her sea
<3220>, and make her springs <4726> dry <3001>.



37 And Babylon <0894> shall become <1961> heaps < 1530>, a
dwellingplace <3427> for dragons <8577>, an astonishment <8047>,
and an hissing <8322>, without <0369> an inhabitant <3427>.



38 They shall roar <7580> together <3162> like lions <3715>:
they shall yell <5286> as lions <0738>' whelps < 1484>.



39 In their heat <2527> I will make <7896> their feasts <4960>,
and I will make them drunken <7937>, that they may rejoice
<5937>, and sleep <3462> a perpetual <5769> sleep <8142>, and
not wake <6974>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



40 I will bring <3381> them down <3381> like lambs <3733> to
the slaughter <2873>, like rams <0352> with he goats <6260>.



41 How <0349> is Sheshach <8347> taken <3920>! and how is the
praise <8416> of the whole <3605> earth <0776> surprised <8610>!
how <0349> is Babylon <0894> become <1961> an astonishment
<8047> among the nations <1471>!



42 The sea <3220> is come <5927> up upon Babylon < 0894>: she is
covered <3680> with the multitude <0527> of the waves <1530>
thereof.



43 Her cities <5892> are a desolation <8047>, a dry <6723> land
<0776>, and a wilderness <6160>, a land <0776> wherein <0834> no
<3808> man <0376> dwelleth <3427>, neither < 3808> doth [any] son
<1121> of man <0120> pass <5674> thereby < 2004>.



44 And I will punish <6485> Bel <1078> in Babylon <0894>, and I
will bring <3318> forth <3318> out of his mouth < 6310> that
which he hath swallowed <1104> up: and the nations < 1471> shall
not flow <5102> together any more <5750> unto him: yea <1571>,
the wall <2346> of Babylon <0894> shall fall < 5307>.



45 My people <5971>, go <3318> ye out of the midst <8432> of
her, and deliver <4422> ye every man <0376> his soul <5315> from
the fierce <2740> anger <0639> of the LORD < 3068>.



46 And lest <6435> your heart <3824> faint < 7401>, and ye fear
<3372> for the rumour <8052> that shall be heard < 8085> in the
land <0776>; a rumour <8052> shall both come < 0935> [one] year
<8141>, and after <0310> that in [another] year < 8141> [shall
come] a rumour <8052>, and violence <2555> in the land <0776>,
ruler <4910> against <5921> ruler <4910>.



47 Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days < 3117> come <0935>,
that I will do judgment <6485> upon the graven <6456> images of
Babylon <0894>: and her whole <3605> land <0776> shall be
confounded <0954>, and all <3605> her slain < 2491> shall fall
<5307> in the midst <8432> of her.



48 Then the heaven <8064> and the earth <0776>, and all <3605>
that [is] therein, shall sing <7442> for Babylon < 0894>: for the
spoilers <7703> shall come <0935> unto her from the north <6828>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



49 As Babylon <0894> [hath caused] the slain <2491> of Israel
<3478> to fall <5307>, so at Babylon <0894> shall fall <5307>
the slain <2491> of all <3605> the earth <0776>.



50 Ye that have escaped <6412> the sword <2719>, go <1980> away,
stand <5975> not still <5975>: remember <2142> the LORD <3068>
afar <7350> off, and let Jerusalem <3389> come < 5927> into
<5921> your mind <3824>.



51 We are confounded <0954>, because <3588> we have heard
<8085> reproach <2781>: shame <3639> hath covered <3680> our
faces <6440>: for strangers <2114> are come < 0935> into <5921>
the sanctuaries <4720> of the LORD'S <3068> house < 1004>.



52 Wherefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days < 3117> come <0935>,
saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will do judgment <6485>
upon her graven <6456> images: and through all <3605> her land
<0776> the wounded <2491> shall groan <0602>.



53 Though <3588> Babylon <0894> should mount < 5927> up to
heaven <8064>, and though <3588> she should fortify <1219> the
height <4791> of her strength <5797>, [yet] from me shall
spoilers <7703> come <0935> unto her, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068>.



54 A sound <6963> of a cry <2201> [cometh < 0935>] from Babylon
<0894>, and great <1419> destruction <7667> from the land <0776>
of the Chaldeans <3778>:



55 Because <3588> the LORD <3068> hath spoiled < 7703> Babylon
<0894>, and destroyed <6> out of her the great < 1419> voice
<6963>; when her waves <1530> do roar <1993> like great <7227>
waters <4325>, a noise <7588> of their voice < 6963> is uttered
<5414>:



56 Because <3588> the spoiler <7703> is come < 0935> upon her,
[even] upon Babylon <0894>, and her mighty <1368> men are taken
<3920>, every one of their bows <7198> is broken < 2865>: for the
LORD <3068> God <0410> of recompences <1578> shall surely
requite <7999>.



57 And I will make drunk <7937> her princes <8269>, and her
wise <2450> [men], her captains <6346>, and her rulers <5461>,
and her mighty <1368> men: and they shall sleep <3462> a
perpetual <5769> sleep <8142>, and not wake < 6974>, saith <5002>
the King <4428>, whose name <8034> [is] the LORD < 3068> of hosts
<6635>.



58 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;
The broad <7342> walls <2346> of Babylon <0894> shall be utterly
broken <6209>, and her high <1364> gates <8179> shall be burned
<3341> with fire <0784>; and the people <5971> shall labour
<3021> in vain <7385>, and the folk <3816> in the fire <0784>,
and they shall be weary <3286>.



59. The word <1697> which <0834> Jeremiah < 3414> the prophet
<5030> commanded <6680> Seraiah <8304> the son <1121> of Neriah
<5374>, the son <1121> of Maaseiah <4271>, when he went <3212>
with Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> of Judah < 3063> into
Babylon <0894> in the fourth <7243> year <8141> of his reign
<4427>. And [this] Seraiah <8304> [was] a quiet < 4496> prince
<8269>.



60 So Jeremiah <3414> wrote <3789> in a book < 5612> all <3605>
the evil <7451> that should come <0935> upon Babylon <0894>,
[even <0853>] all <3605> these <0428> words < 1697> that are
written <3789> against <0413> Babylon <0894>.



61 And Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> to Seraiah < 8304>, When thou
comest <0935> to Babylon <0894>, and shalt see < 7200>, and shalt
read <7121> all <3605> these <0428> words < 1697>;



62 Then shalt thou say <0559>, O LORD <3068>, thou hast spoken
<1696> against <0413> this <2088> place < 4725>, to cut <3772> it
off, that none <1115> shall remain <3427> in it, neither <1115>
man <0120> nor beast <0929>, but that it shall be desolate
<8077> for ever <5769>.



63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end <3615> of
reading <7121> this <2088> book <5612>, [that] thou shalt bind
<7164> a stone <68> to it, and cast <7993> it into <0413> the
midst <8432> of Euphrates <6578>:



64 And thou shalt say <0559>, Thus <3602> shall Babylon <0894>
sink <8257>, and shall not rise <6965> from the evil <7451> that
I will bring <0935> upon her: and they shall be weary < 3286>.
Thus <2008> far <2008> [are] the words <1697> of Jeremiah <3414>.



Jeremiah 52



1. Zedekiah <6667> [was] one <0259> and twenty < 6242> years
<8141> old <1121> when he began to reign <4427>, and he reigned
<4427> eleven years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's
<0517> name <8034> [was] Hamutal <2537> the daughter <1323> of
Jeremiah <3414> of Libnah <3841>.



2 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the eyes
<5869> of the LORD <3068>, according to all < 3605> that
Jehoiakim <3079> had done <6213>.



3 For through <5921> the anger <0639> of the LORD <3068> it
came <1961> to pass in Jerusalem <3389> and Judah < 3063>, till
<5704> he had cast <7993> them out from his presence <6440>,
that Zedekiah <6667> rebelled <4775> against the king <4428> of
Babylon <0894>.



4 And it came <1961> to pass in the ninth <8671> year <8141> of
his reign <4427>, in the tenth <6224> month < 2320>, in the tenth
<6218> [day] of the month <2320>, [that] Nebuchadrezzar <5019>
king <4428> of Babylon <0894> came <0935>, he and all <3605> his
army <2428>, against <5921> Jerusalem <3389>, and pitched <2583>
against <5921> it, and built <1129> forts <1785> against <5921>
it round <5439> about.



5 So the city <5892> was besieged unto the eleventh year <8141>
of king <4428> Zedekiah <6667>.



6 And in the fourth <7243> month <2320>, in the ninth <8672>
[day] of the month <2320>, the famine <7458> was sore <2388> in
the city <5892>, so that there was no <3808> bread <3899> for
the people <5971> of the land <0776>.



7 Then the city <5892> was broken <1234> up, and all <3605> the
men <0582> of war <4421> fled <1272>, and went <3318> forth
<3318> out of the city <5892> by night <3915> by the way <1870>
of the gate <8179> between <0996> the two <8147> walls <2346>,
which <0834> [was] by the king's <4428> garden < 1588>; (now the
Chaldeans <3778> [were] by the city <5892> round < 5439> about:)
and they went <3212> by the way <1870> of the plain <6160>.



8 But the army <2428> of the Chaldeans <3779> pursued <7291>
after <0310> the king <4428>, and overtook < 5381> Zedekiah
<6667> in the plains <6160> of Jericho <3405>; and all <3605>
his army <2428> was scattered <6327> from him.



9 Then they took <8610> the king <4428>, and carried <5927> him
up unto the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <7247> in
the land <0776> of Hamath <2574>; where he gave < 1696> judgment
<4941> upon him.



10 And the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> slew < 7819> the sons
<1121> of Zedekiah <6667> before his eyes <5869> : he slew <7819>
also <1571> all <3605> the princes <8269> of Judah <3063> in
Riblah <7247>.



11 Then he put <5786> out the eyes <5869> of Zedekiah <6667>;
and the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> bound < 0631> him in chains
<5178>, and carried <0935> him to Babylon <0894> , and put <5411>
him in prison till <5704> the day <3117> of his death <4194>.



12. Now in the fifth <2549> month <2320>, in the tenth <6218>
[day] of the month <2320>, which <1958> [was] the nineteenth
year <8141> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon
<0894>, came <0935> Nebuzaradan <5018>, captain <7227> of the
guard <2876>, [which] served <5975> the king < 4428> of Babylon
<0894>, into Jerusalem <3389>,



13 And burned <8313> the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and
the king's <4428> house <1004>; and all <3605> the houses <1004>
of Jerusalem <3389>, and all <3605> the houses < 1004> of the
great <1419> [men], burned <8313> he with fire < 0784>:



14 And all <3605> the army <2428> of the Chaldeans <3779>, that
[were] with the captain <7227> of the guard <2876>, brake <5422>
down <5422> all <3605> the walls <2346> of Jerusalem <3389>
round <5439> about.



15 Then Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard
<2876> carried <1540> away captive <1540> [certain] of the poor
<1803> of the people <5971>, and the residue < 3499> of the
people <5971> that remained <7604> in the city < 5892>, and those
that fell <5307> away, that fell <5307> to the king <4428> of
Babylon <0894>, and the rest <3499> of the multitude <0527>.



16 But Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard
<2876> left <7604> [certain] of the poor <1803> of the land
<0776> for vinedressers <3755> and for husbandmen < 3009>.



17 Also the pillars <5982> of brass <5178> that [were] in the
house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and the bases < 4350>, and the
brasen <5178> sea <3220> that [was] in the house < 1004> of the
LORD <3068>, the Chaldeans <3779> brake <7665>, and carried
<5375> all <3605> the brass <5178> of them to Babylon <0894>.



18 The caldrons <5518> also, and the shovels <3257>, and the
snuffers <4212>, and the bowls <4219>, and the spoons <3709>,
and all <3605> the vessels <3627> of brass < 5178> wherewith
<0834> they ministered <8334>, took <3947> they away.



19 And the basons <5592>, and the firepans <4289>, and the
bowls <4219>, and the caldrons <5518>, and the candlesticks
<4501>, and the spoons <3709>, and the cups < 4518>; [that] which
<0834> [was] of gold <2091> [in] gold <2091>, and [that] which
<0834> [was] of silver <3701> [in] silver <3701> , took <3947>
the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> away.



20 The two <8147> pillars <5982>, one <0259> sea <3220>, and
twelve brasen <5178> bulls <1241> that [were] under <8478> the
bases <4350>, which <0834> king <4428> Solomon <8010> had made
<6213> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>: the brass <5178>
of all <3605> these <0428> vessels <3627> was without <3808>
weight <4948>.



21 And [concerning] the pillars <5982>, the height < 6967> of
one <0259> pillar <5982> [was] eighteen cubits < 0520>; and a
fillet <2339> of twelve cubits <0520> did compass < 5437> it; and
the thickness <5672> thereof [was] four <0702> fingers <0676>:
[it was] hollow <5014>.



22 And a chapiter <3805> of brass <5178> [was] upon it; and the
height <6967> of one <0259> chapiter <3805> [was] five <2568>
cubits <0520>, with network <7639> and pomegranates <7416> upon
the chapiters <3805> round <5439> about, all < 3605> [of] brass
<5178>. The second <8145> pillar <5982> also and the
pomegranates <7416> [were] like unto these <0428>.



23 And there were ninety <8673> and six <8337> pomegranates
<7416> on a side <7307>; [and] all <3605> the pomegranates
<7416> upon the network <7639> [were] an hundred < 3967> round
<5439> about.



24. And the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> took <3947>
Seraiah <8304> the chief <7218> priest <3548>, and Zephaniah
<6846> the second <4932> priest <3548>, and the three <7969>
keepers <8104> of the door <5592>:



25 He took <3947> also out of the city <5892> an eunuch <5631>,
which <0834> had <1961> the charge <6496> of the men <0582> of
war <4421>; and seven <7651> men <0582> of them that were near
<7200> the king's <4428> person <6440>, which <0834> were found
<4672> in the city <5892>; and the principal < 8269> scribe
<5608> of the host <6635>, who mustered <6633> the people <5971>
of the land <0776>; and threescore <7657> men < 0376> of the
people <5971> of the land <0776>, that were found < 4672> in the
midst <8432> of the city <5892>.



26 So Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876>
took <3947> them, and brought <3212> them to the king <4428> of
Babylon <0894> to Riblah <7247>.



27 And the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> smote < 5221> them, and
put them to death <4191> in Riblah <7247> in the land <0127> of
Hamath <2574>. Thus Judah <3063> was carried < 1540> away captive
<1540> out of his own land <0127>.



28 This <2088> [is] the people <5971> whom < 0834>
Nebuchadrezzar <5019> carried <1540> away captive < 1540>: in the
seventh <7651> year <8141> three <7969> thousand <0505> Jews
<3064> and three <7969> and twenty <6242>:



29 In the eighteenth year <8141> of Nebuchadrezzar < 5019> he
carried away captive <1540> from Jerusalem <3389> eight <8083>
hundred <3967> thirty <7970> and two <8147> persons <5315>:



30 In the three <7969> and twentieth <6242> year < 8141> of
Nebuchadrezzar <5019> Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of
the guard <2876> carried <1540> away captive < 1540> of the Jews
<3064> seven <7651> hundred <3967> forty < 0705> and five <2568>
persons <5315>: all <3605> the persons <5315> [were] four <0702>
thousand <0505> and six <8337> hundred <3967>.



31. And it came <1961> to pass in the seven <7651> and
thirtieth <7970> year <8141> of the captivity < 1546> of
Jehoiachin <3078> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, in the twelfth
month <2320>, in the five <2568> and twentieth < 6242> [day] of
the month <2320>, [that] Evilmerodach <0192> king < 4428> of
Babylon <0894> in the [first] year <8141> of his reign <4438>
lifted <5375> up the head <7218> of Jehoiachin < 3078> king
<4428> of Judah <3063>, and brought <3218> him forth <3318> out
of prison <3608>,



32 And spake <1696> kindly <2896> unto him, and set <5414> his
throne <3678> above <4605> the throne <3678> of the kings <4428>
that [were] with him in Babylon <0894>,



33 And changed <8138> his prison <3608> garments < 0899>: and he
did continually <8548> eat <0398> bread <3899> before <6440> him
all <3605> the days <3117> of his life <2416>.



34 And [for] his diet <0737>, there was a continual < 8548> diet
<0737> given <5414> him of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>,
every day <3117> a portion <1697> until <5704> the day <3117> of
his death <4194>, all <3605> the days <3117> of his life <2416>.
