Jeremiah 1:1--11:23

1:1

The words
<01697>

of Jeremiah
<03414>

the son
<01121>

of Hilkiah
<02518>_,

of the priests
<03548>

that [were] in Anathoth
<06068>

in the land
<0776>

of Benjamin
<01144>_:

1:2

To whom the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came in the days
<03117>

of Josiah
<02977>

the son
<01121>

of Amon
<0526>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

in the thirteenth
<07969> <06240>

year
<08141>

of his reign
<04427> (8800)_.

1:3

It came also in the days
<03117>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>

the son
<01121>

of Josiah
<02977>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

unto the end
<08552> (8800)

of the eleventh
<06249> <06240>

year
<08141>

of Zedekiah
<06667>

the son
<01121>

of Josiah
<02977>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

unto the carrying away
<01540> (0)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

captive
<01540> (8800)

in the fifth
<02549>

month
<02320>_.

1:4

Then the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

1:5

Before
<02962>

I formed
<03335> (8799)

thee in the belly
<0990>

I knew
<03045> (8804)

thee; and before thou camest forth
<03318> (8799)

out of the womb
<07358>

I sanctified
<06942> (8689)

thee, [and] I ordained
<05414> (8804)

thee a prophet
<05030>

unto the nations
<01471>_.

{ordained: Heb. gave}

1:6

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, Ah
<0162>_,

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_!

behold, I cannot
<03045> (8804)

speak
<01696> (8763)_:

for I [am] a child
<05288>_.

1:7

But the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Say
<0559> (8799)

not, I [am] a child
<05288>_:

for thou shalt go
<03212> (8799)

to all that I shall send
<07971> (8799)

thee, and whatsoever I command
<06680> (8762)

thee thou shalt speak
<01696> (8762)_.

1:8

Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

of their faces
<06440>_:

for I [am] with thee to deliver
<05337> (8687)

thee, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

1:9

Then the LORD
<03068>

put forth
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>_,

and touched
<05060> (8686)

my mouth
<06310>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Behold, I have put
<05414> (8804)

my words
<01697>

in thy mouth
<06310>_.

1:10

See
<07200> (8798)_,

I have this day
<03117>

set
<06485> (8689)

thee over the nations
<01471>

and over the kingdoms
<04467>_,

to root out
<05428> (8800)_,

and to pull down
<05422> (8800)_,

and to destroy
<06> (8687)_,

and to throw down
<02040> (8800)_,

to build
<01129> (8800)_,

and to plant
<05193> (8800)_.

1:11

Moreover the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Jeremiah
<03414>_,

what seest
<07200> (8802)

thou? And I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I see
<07200> (8802)

a rod
<04731>

of an almond tree
<08247>_.

1:12

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

unto me, Thou hast well
<03190> (8689)

seen
<07200> (8800)_:

for I will hasten
<08245> (8802)

my word
<01697>

to perform
<06213> (8800)

it.

1:13

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me the second time
<08145>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What seest
<07200> (8802)

thou? And I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I see
<07200> (8802)

a seething
<05301> (8803)

pot
<05518>_;

and the face
<06440>

thereof [is] toward
<06440>

the north
<06828>_.

{toward...: Heb. from the face of the north}

1:14

Then the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Out of the north
<06828>

an evil
<07451>

shall break forth
<06605> (8735)

upon all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_.

{shall...: Heb. shall be opened}

1:15

For, lo, I will call
<07121> (8802)

all the families
<04940>

of the kingdoms
<04467>

of the north
<06828>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

and they shall come
<0935> (8804)_,

and they shall set
<05414> (8804)

every one
<0376>

his throne
<03678>

at the entering
<06607>

of the gates
<08179>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and against all the walls
<02346>

thereof round about
<05439>_,

and against all the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_.

1:16

And I will utter
<01696> (8765)

my judgments
<04941>

against them touching
<05921>

all their wickedness
<07451>_,

who have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and have burned incense
<06999> (8762)

unto other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

the works
<04639>

of their own hands
<03027>_.

1:17

Thou therefore gird up
<0247> (8799)

thy loins
<04975>_,

and arise
<06965> (8804)_,

and speak
<01696> (8765)

unto them all that I command
<06680> (8762)

thee: be not dismayed
<02865> (8735)

at their faces
<06440>_,

lest I confound
<02865> (8686)

thee before
<06440>

them. {confound: or, break to pieces}

1:18

For, behold, I
<0589>

have made
<05414> (8804)

thee this day
<03117>

a defenced
<04013>

city
<05892>_,

and an iron
<01270>

pillar
<05982>_,

and brasen
<05178>

walls
<02346>

against the whole land
<0776>_,

against the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

against the princes
<08269>

thereof, against the priests
<03548>

thereof, and against the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_.

1:19

And they shall fight
<03898> (8738)

against thee; but they shall not prevail
<03201> (8799)

against thee; for I [am] with thee, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

thee.

2:1

Moreover the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

2:2

Go
<01980> (8800)

and cry
<07121> (8804)

in the ears
<0241>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

I remember
<02142> (8804)

thee, the kindness
<02617>

of thy youth
<05271>_,

the love
<0160>

of thine espousals
<03623>_,

when thou wentest
<03212> (8800)

after
<0310>

me in the wilderness
<04057>_,

in a land
<0776>

[that was] not sown
<02232> (8803)_.

{thee: or, for thy sake}

2:3

Israel
<03478>

[was] holiness
<06944>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] the firstfruits
<07225>

of his increase
<08393>_:

all that devour
<0398> (8802)

him shall offend
<0816> (8799)_;

evil
<07451>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon them, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

2:4

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

O house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and all the families
<04940>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_:

2:5

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

What iniquity
<05766>

have your fathers
<01>

found
<04672> (8804)

in me, that they are gone far
<07368> (8804)

from me, and have walked
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

vanity
<01892>_,

and are become vain
<01891> (8799)_?

2:6

Neither said
<0559> (8804)

they, Where [is] the LORD
<03068>

that brought us up
<05927> (8688)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

that led
<03212> (8688)

us through the wilderness
<04057>_,

through a land
<0776>

of deserts
<06160>

and of pits
<07745>_,

through a land
<0776>

of drought
<06723>_,

and of the shadow of death
<06757>_,

through a land
<0776>

that no man
<0376>

passed through
<05674> (8804)_,

and where no man
<0120>

dwelt
<03427> (8804)_?

2:7

And I brought
<0935> (8686)

you into a plentiful
<03759>

country
<0776>_,

to eat
<0398> (8800)

the fruit
<06529>

thereof and the goodness
<02898>

thereof; but when ye entered
<0935> (8799)_,

ye defiled
<02930> (8762)

my land
<0776>_,

and made
<07760> (8804)

mine heritage
<05159>

an abomination
<08441>_.

{a plentiful...: or, the land of Carmel}

2:8

The priests
<03548>

said
<0559> (8804)

not, Where [is] the LORD
<03068>_?

and they that handle
<08610> (8802)

the law
<08451>

knew
<03045> (8804)

me not: the pastors
<07462> (8802)

also transgressed
<06586> (8804)

against me, and the prophets
<05030>

prophesied
<05012> (8738)

by Baal
<01168>_,

and walked
<01980> (8804)

after
<0310>

[things that] do not profit
<03276> (8686)_.

2:9

Wherefore I will yet plead
<07378> (8799)

with you, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and with your children's
<01121>

children
<01121>

will I plead
<07378> (8799)_.

2:10

For pass over
<05674> (8798)

the isles
<0339>

of Chittim
<03794>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)_;

and send
<07971> (8798)

unto Kedar
<06938>_,

and consider
<0995> (8708)

diligently
<03966>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)

if there be such a thing. {over: or, over to}

2:11

Hath a nation
<01471>

changed
<03235> (8689)

[their] gods
<0430>_,

which [are] yet no gods
<0430>_?

but my people
<05971>

have changed
<04171> (8689)

their glory
<03519>

for [that which] doth not profit
<03276> (8686)_.

2:12

Be astonished
<08074> (8798)_,

O ye heavens
<08064>_,

at this, and be horribly afraid
<08175> (8798)_,

be ye very
<03966>

desolate
<02717> (8798)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

2:13

For my people
<05971>

have committed
<06213> (8804)

two
<08147>

evils
<07451>_;

they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me the fountain
<04726>

of living
<02416>

waters
<04325>_,

[and] hewed them out
<02672> (8800)

cisterns
<0877>_,

broken
<07665> (8737)

cisterns
<0877>_,

that can hold
<03557> (8686)

no water
<04325>_.

2:14

[Is] Israel
<03478>

a servant
<05650>_?

[is] he a homeborn
<01004> <03211>

[slave]? why
<04069>

is he spoiled
<0957>_?

{spoiled: Heb. become a spoil?}

2:15

The young lions
<03715>

roared
<07580> (8799)

upon him, [and] yelled
<05414> (8804) <06963>_,

and they made
<07896> (8799)

his land
<0776>

waste
<08047>_:

his cities
<05892>

are burned
<03341> (8738)

without inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.

{yelled: Heb. gave out their voice}

2:16

Also the children
<01121>

of Noph
<05297>

and Tahapanes
<08471>

have broken
<07462> (8799)

the crown of thy head
<06936>_.

{have...: or, feed on thy crown}

2:17

Hast thou not procured
<06213> (8799)

this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken
<05800> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

when
<06256>

he led
<03212> (8688)

thee by the way
<01870>_?

2:18

And now what hast thou to do in the way
<01870>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

to drink
<08354> (8800)

the waters
<04325>

of Sihor
<07883>_?

or what hast thou to do in the way
<01870>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

to drink
<08354> (8800)

the waters
<04325>

of the river
<05104>_?

2:19

Thine own wickedness
<07451>

shall correct
<03256> (8762)

thee, and thy backslidings
<04878>

shall reprove
<03198> (8686)

thee: know
<03045> (8798)

therefore and see
<07200> (8798)

that [it is] an evil
<07451>

[thing] and bitter
<04751>_,

that thou hast forsaken
<05800> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and that my fear
<06345>

[is] not in thee, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

of hosts
<06635>_.

2:20

For of old time
<05769>

I have broken
<07665> (8804)

thy yoke
<05923>_,

[and] burst
<05423> (8765)

thy bands
<04147>_;

and thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not transgress
<05674> (8799) (8675) <05647> (8799)_;

when upon every high
<01364>

hill
<01389>

and under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>

thou wanderest
<06808> (8802)_,

playing the harlot
<02181> (8802)_.

{transgress: or, serve}

2:21

Yet I had planted
<05193> (8804)

thee a noble vine
<08321>_,

wholly a right
<0571>

seed
<02233>_:

how then art thou turned
<02015> (8738)

into the degenerate plant
<05494>

of a strange
<05237>

vine
<01612>

unto me?

2:22

For though thou wash
<03526> (8762)

thee with nitre
<05427>_,

and take thee much
<07235> (8686)

soap
<01287>_,

[yet] thine iniquity
<05771>

is marked
<03799> (8737)

before
<06440>

me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

2:23

How canst thou say
<0559> (8799)_,

I am not polluted
<02930> (8738)_,

I have not gone
<01980> (8804)

after
<0310>

Baalim
<01168>_?

see
<07200> (8798)

thy way
<01870>

in the valley
<01516>_,

know
<03045> (8798)

what thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_:

[thou art] a swift
<07031>

dromedary
<01072>

traversing
<08308> (8764)

her ways
<01870>_;

{thou art...: or, O swift dromedary}

2:24

A wild ass
<06501>

used
<03928>

to the wilderness
<04057>_,

[that] snuffeth up
<07602> (8804)

the wind
<07307>

at her pleasure
<0185> <05315>_;

in her occasion
<08385>

who can turn her away
<07725> (8686)_?

all they that seek
<01245> (8764)

her will not weary
<03286> (8799)

themselves; in her month
<02320>

they shall find
<04672> (8799)

her. {A wild...: or, O wild ass, etc} {used: Heb. taught} {her pleasure: Heb. the desire of her heart} {turn...: or, reverse it?}

2:25

Withhold
<04513> (8798)

thy foot
<07272>

from being unshod
<03182>_,

and thy throat
<01627>

from thirst
<06773>_:

but thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,

There is no hope
<02976> (8737)_:

no; for I have loved
<0157> (8804)

strangers
<02114> (8801)_,

and after
<0310>

them will I go
<03212> (8799)_.

{There...: or, Is the case desperate?}

2:26

As the thief
<01590>

is ashamed
<01322>

when he is found
<04672> (8735)_,

so is the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

ashamed
<03001> (8689)_;

they, their kings
<04428>_,

their princes
<08269>_,

and their priests
<03548>_,

and their prophets
<05030>_,

2:27

Saying
<0559> (8802)

to a stock
<06086>_,

Thou [art] my father
<01>_;

and to a stone
<068>_,

Thou hast brought me forth
<03205> (8804)_:

for they have turned
<06437> (8804)

[their] back
<06203>

unto me, and not [their] face
<06440>_:

but in the time
<06256>

of their trouble
<07451>

they will say
<0559> (8799)_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and save
<03467> (8685)

us. {brought...: or, begotten me} {their back: Heb. the hinder part of the neck}

2:28

But where [are] thy gods
<0430>

that thou hast made
<06213> (8804)

thee? let them arise
<06965> (8799)_,

if they can save
<03467> (8686)

thee in the time
<06256>

of thy trouble
<07451>_:

for [according to] the number
<04557>

of thy cities
<05892>

are thy gods
<0430>_,

O Judah
<03063>_.

{trouble: Heb. evil}

2:29

Wherefore will ye plead
<07378> (8799)

with me? ye all have transgressed
<06586> (8804)

against me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

2:30

In vain
<07723>

have I smitten
<05221> (8689)

your children
<01121>_;

they received
<03947> (8804)

no correction
<04148>_:

your own sword
<02719>

hath devoured
<0398> (8804)

your prophets
<05030>_,

like a destroying
<07843> (8688)

lion
<0738>_.

2:31

O generation
<01755>_,

see
<07200> (8798)

ye the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

Have I been a wilderness
<04057>

unto Israel
<03478>_?

a land
<0776>

of darkness
<03991>_?

wherefore say
<0559> (8804)

my people
<05971>_,

We are lords
<07300> (8804)_;

we will come
<0935> (8799)

no more unto thee? {We are...: Heb. We have dominion}

2:32

Can a maid
<01330>

forget
<07911> (8799)

her ornaments
<05716>_,

[or] a bride
<03618>

her attire
<07196>_?

yet my people
<05971>

have forgotten
<07911> (8804)

me days
<03117>

without number
<04557>_.

2:33

Why trimmest
<03190> (8686)

thou thy way
<01870>

to seek
<01245> (8763)

love
<0160>_?

therefore hast thou also taught
<03925> (8765)

the wicked ones
<07451>

thy ways
<01870>_.

2:34

Also in thy skirts
<03671>

is found
<04672> (8738)

the blood
<01818>

of the souls
<05315>

of the poor
<034>

innocents
<05355>_:

I have not found
<04672> (8804)

it by secret search
<04290>_,

but upon all these. {secret...: Heb. digging}

2:35

Yet thou sayest
<0559> (8799)_,

Because I am innocent
<05352> (8738)_,

surely his anger
<0639>

shall turn
<07725> (8804)

from me. Behold, I will plead
<08199> (8737)

with thee, because thou sayest
<0559> (8800)_,

I have not sinned
<02398> (8804)_.

2:36

Why gaddest thou about
<0235> (8799)

so much
<03966>

to change
<08138> (8763)

thy way
<01870>_?

thou also shalt be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

of Egypt
<04714>_,

as thou wast ashamed
<0954> (8804)

of Assyria
<0804>_.

2:37

Yea, thou shalt go forth
<03318> (8799)

from him, and thine hands
<03027>

upon thine head
<07218>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath rejected
<03988> (8804)

thy confidences
<04009>_,

and thou shalt not prosper
<06743> (8686)

in them.

3:1

They say
<0559> (8800)_,

If a man
<0376>

put away
<07971> (8762)

his wife
<0802>_,

and she go
<01980> (8804)

from him, and become another
<0312>

man's
<0376>_,

shall he return unto her again
<07725> (8799)_?

shall not that land
<0776>

be greatly
<02610> (8800)

polluted
<02610> (8799)_?

but thou hast played the harlot
<02181> (8804)

with many
<07227>

lovers
<07453>_;

yet return again
<07725> (8800)

to me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{They say: Heb. Saying}

3:2

Lift up
<05375> (8798)

thine eyes
<05869>

unto the high places
<08205>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)

where
<0375>

thou hast not been lien
<07693> (8795) (8676) <07901> (8795)

with. In the ways
<01870>

hast thou sat
<03427> (8804)

for them, as the Arabian
<06163>

in the wilderness
<04057>_;

and thou hast polluted
<02610> (8686)

the land
<0776>

with thy whoredoms
<02184>

and with thy wickedness
<07451>_.

3:3

Therefore the showers
<07241>

have been withholden
<04513> (8735)_,

and there hath been no latter rain
<04456>_;

and thou hadst a whore's
<02181> (8802) <0802>

forehead
<04696>_,

thou refusedst
<03985> (8765)

to be ashamed
<03637> (8736)_.

3:4

Wilt thou not from this time cry
<07121> (8804)

unto me, My father
<01>_,

thou [art] the guide
<0441>

of my youth
<05271>_?

3:5

Will he reserve
<05201> (8799)

[his anger] for ever
<05769>_?

will he keep
<08104> (8799)

[it] to the end
<05331>_?

Behold, thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)

and done
<06213> (8799)

evil things
<07451>

as thou couldest
<03201> (8799)_.

3:6

The LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

also unto me in the days
<03117>

of Josiah
<02977>

the king
<04428>_,

Hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)

[that] which backsliding
<04878>

Israel
<03478>

hath done
<06213> (8804)_?

she is gone up
<01980> (8802)

upon every high
<01364>

mountain
<02022>

and under
<08478>

every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_,

and there hath played the harlot
<02181> (8799)_.

3:7

And I said
<0559> (8799)

after
<0310>

she had done
<06213> (8800)

all these [things], Turn
<07725> (8799)

thou unto me. But she returned
<07725> (8804)

not. And her treacherous
<0901>

sister
<0269>

Judah
<03063>

saw
<07200> (8799)

[it].

3:8

And I saw
<07200> (8799)_,

when for all the causes
<0182>

whereby backsliding
<04878>

Israel
<03478>

committed adultery
<05003> (8765)

I had put her away
<07971> (8765)_,

and given
<05414> (8799)

her a bill
<05612>

of divorce
<03748>_;

yet her treacherous
<0898> (8802)

sister
<0269>

Judah
<03063>

feared
<03372> (8804)

not, but went
<03212> (8799)

and played the harlot
<02181> (8799)

also.

3:9

And it came to pass through the lightness
<06963>

of her whoredom
<02184>_,

that she defiled
<02610> (8799)

the land
<0776>_,

and committed adultery
<05003> (8799)

with stones
<068>

and with stocks
<06086>_.

{lightness: or, fame}

3:10

And yet for all this her treacherous
<0901>

sister
<0269>

Judah
<03063>

hath not turned
<07725> (8804)

unto me with her whole heart
<03820>_,

but feignedly
<08267>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{feignedly: Heb. in falsehood}

3:11

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, The backsliding
<04878>

Israel
<03478>

hath justified
<06663> (8765)

herself
<05315>

more than treacherous
<0898> (8802)

Judah
<03063>_.

3:12

Go
<01980> (8800)

and proclaim
<07121> (8804)

these words
<01697>

toward the north
<06828>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Return
<07725> (8798)_,

thou backsliding
<04878>

Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

[and] I will not cause mine anger
<06440>

to fall
<05307> (8686)

upon you: for I [am] merciful
<02623>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] I will not keep
<05201> (8799)

[anger] for ever
<05769>_.

3:13

Only acknowledge
<03045> (8798)

thine iniquity
<05771>_,

that thou hast transgressed
<06586> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and hast scattered
<06340> (8762)

thy ways
<01870>

to the strangers
<02114> (8801)

under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_,

and ye have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

3:14

Turn
<07725> (8798)_,

O backsliding
<07726>

children
<01121>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

for I am married
<01166> (8804)

unto you: and I will take
<03947> (8804)

you one
<0259>

of a city
<05892>_,

and two
<08147>

of a family
<04940>_,

and I will bring
<0935> (8689)

you to Zion
<06726>_:

3:15

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

you pastors
<07462> (8802)

according to mine heart
<03820>_,

which shall feed
<07462> (8804)

you with knowledge
<01844>

and understanding
<07919> (8687)_.

3:16

And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied
<07235> (8799)

and increased
<06509> (8804)

in the land
<0776>_,

in those days
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

they shall say
<0559> (8799)

no more, The ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

neither shall it come
<05927> (8799)

to mind
<03820>_:

neither shall they remember
<02142> (8799)

it; neither shall they visit
<06485> (8799)

[it]; neither shall [that] be done
<06213> (8735)

any more. {come to mind: Heb. come upon the heart} {that...: or, it be magnified}

3:17

At that time
<06256>

they shall call
<07121> (8799)

Jerusalem
<03389>

the throne
<03678>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

and all the nations
<01471>

shall be gathered
<06960> (8738)

unto it, to the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to Jerusalem
<03389>_:

neither shall they walk
<03212> (8799)

any more after
<0310>

the imagination
<08307>

of their evil
<07451>

heart
<03820>_.

{imagination: or, stubbornness}

3:18

In those days
<03117>

the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

shall walk
<03212> (8799)

with the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and they shall come
<0935> (8799)

together
<03162>

out of the land
<0776>

of the north
<06828>

to the land
<0776>

that I have given for an inheritance
<05157> (8689)

unto your fathers
<01>_.

{with: or, to} {given...: or, caused your fathers to possess}

3:19

But I said
<0559> (8804)_,

How shall I put
<07896> (8799)

thee among the children
<01121>_,

and give
<05414> (8799)

thee a pleasant
<02532>

land
<0776>_,

a goodly
<06643>

heritage
<05159>

of the hosts
<06635>

of nations
<01471>_?

and I said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt call
<07121> (8799)

me, My father
<01>_;

and shalt not turn away
<07725> (8799)

from me
<0310>_.

{from me: Heb. from after me} {a goodly...: Heb. an heritage of glory, or, beauty} {pleasant...: Heb. land of desire}

3:20

Surely
<0403>

[as] a wife
<0802>

treacherously
<0898> (8804)

departeth from her husband
<07453>_,

so have ye dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)

with me, O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{husband: Heb. friend}

3:21

A voice
<06963>

was heard
<08085> (8738)

upon the high places
<08205>_,

weeping
<01065>

[and] supplications
<08469>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

for they have perverted
<05753> (8689)

their way
<01870>_,

[and] they have forgotten
<07911> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_.

3:22

Return
<07725> (8798)_,

ye backsliding
<07726>

children
<01121>_,

[and] I will heal
<07495> (8799)

your backslidings
<04878>_.

Behold, we come
<0857> (8804)

unto thee; for thou [art] the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_.

3:23

Truly
<0403>

in vain
<08267>

[is salvation hoped for] from the hills
<01389>_,

[and from] the multitude
<01995>

of mountains
<02022>_:

truly
<0403>

in the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

[is] the salvation
<08668>

of Israel
<03478>_.

3:24

For shame
<01322>

hath devoured
<0398> (8804)

the labour
<03018>

of our fathers
<01>

from our youth
<05271>_;

their flocks
<06629>

and their herds
<01241>_,

their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>_.

3:25

We lie down
<07901> (8799)

in our shame
<01322>_,

and our confusion
<03639>

covereth
<03680> (8762)

us: for we have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

we and our fathers
<01>_,

from our youth
<05271>

even unto this day
<03117>_,

and have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_.

4:1

If thou wilt return
<07725> (8799)_,

O Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

return
<07725> (8799)

unto me: and if thou wilt put away
<05493> (8686)

thine abominations
<08251>

out of my sight
<06440>_,

then shalt thou not remove
<05110> (8799)_.

4:2

And thou shalt swear
<07650> (8738)_,

The LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

in truth
<0571>_,

in judgment
<04941>_,

and in righteousness
<06666>_;

and the nations
<01471>

shall bless
<01288> (8694)

themselves in him, and in him shall they glory
<01984> (8691)_.

4:3

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

to the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

Break up
<05214> (8798)

your fallow ground
<05215>_,

and sow
<02232> (8799)

not among thorns
<06975>_.

4:4

Circumcise
<04135> (8734)

yourselves to the LORD
<03068>_,

and take away
<05493> (8685)

the foreskins
<06190>

of your heart
<03824>_,

ye men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

and inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_:

lest my fury
<02534>

come forth
<03318> (8799)

like fire
<0784>_,

and burn
<01197> (8804)

that none can quench
<03518> (8764)

[it], because
<06440>

of the evil
<07455>

of your doings
<04611>_.

4:5

Declare
<05046> (8685)

ye in Judah
<03063>_,

and publish
<08085> (8685)

in Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and say
<0559> (8798)_,

Blow
<08628> (8798)

ye the trumpet
<07782>

in the land
<0776>_:

cry
<07121> (8798)_,

gather together
<04390> (8761)_,

and say
<0559> (8798)_,

Assemble
<0622> (8734)

yourselves, and let us go
<0935> (8799)

into the defenced
<04013>

cities
<05892>_.

4:6

Set up
<05375> (8798)

the standard
<05251>

toward Zion
<06726>_:

retire
<05756> (8685)_,

stay
<05975> (8799)

not: for I will bring
<0935> (8688)

evil
<07451>

from the north
<06828>_,

and a great
<01419>

destruction
<07667>_.

{retire: or, strengthen} {destruction: Heb. breaking}

4:7

The lion
<0738>

is come up
<05927> (8804)

from his thicket
<05441>_,

and the destroyer
<07843> (8688)

of the Gentiles
<01471>

is on his way
<05265> (8804)_;

he is gone forth
<03318> (8804)

from his place
<04725>

to make
<07760> (8800)

thy land
<0776>

desolate
<08047>_;

[and] thy cities
<05892>

shall be laid waste
<05327> (8799)_,

without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.

4:8

For this gird
<02296> (8798)

you with sackcloth
<08242>_,

lament
<05594> (8798)

and howl
<03213> (8685)_:

for the fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

is not turned back
<07725> (8804)

from us.

4:9

And it shall come to pass at that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[that] the heart
<03820>

of the king
<04428>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_,

and the heart
<03820>

of the princes
<08269>_;

and the priests
<03548>

shall be astonished
<08074> (8738)_,

and the prophets
<05030>

shall wonder
<08539> (8799)_.

4:10

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, Ah
<0162>_,

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_!

surely
<0403>

thou hast greatly
<05377> (8687)

deceived
<05377> (8689)

this people
<05971>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye shall have peace
<07965>_;

whereas the sword
<02719>

reacheth
<05060> (8804)

unto the soul
<05315>_.

4:11

At that time
<06256>

shall it be said
<0559> (8735)

to this people
<05971>

and to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

A dry
<06703>

wind
<07307>

of the high places
<08205>

in the wilderness
<04057>

toward
<01870>

the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>_,

not to fan
<02219> (8800)_,

nor to cleanse
<01305> (8687)_,

4:12

[Even] a full
<04392>

wind
<07307>

from those [places] shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto me: now also will I give
<01696> (8762)

sentence
<04941>

against them. {a full...: or, a fuller wind than those} {give...: Heb. utter judgments}

4:13

Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)

as clouds
<06051>_,

and his chariots
<04818>

[shall be] as a whirlwind
<05492>_:

his horses
<05483>

are swifter
<07043> (8804)

than eagles
<05404>_.

Woe
<0188>

unto us! for we are spoiled
<07703> (8795)_.

4:14

O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

wash
<03526> (8761)

thine heart
<03820>

from wickedness
<07451>_,

that thou mayest be saved
<03467> (8735)_.

How long shall thy vain
<0205>

thoughts
<04284>

lodge
<03885> (8686)

within
<07130>

thee?

4:15

For a voice
<06963>

declareth
<05046> (8688)

from Dan
<01835>_,

and publisheth
<08085> (8688)

affliction
<0205>

from mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_.

4:16

Make ye mention
<02142> (8685)

to the nations
<01471>_;

behold, publish
<08085> (8685)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

[that] watchers
<05341> (8802)

come
<0935> (8802)

from a far
<04801>

country
<0776>_,

and give out
<05414> (8799)

their voice
<06963>

against the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_.

4:17

As keepers
<08104> (8802)

of a field
<07704>_,

are they against her round about
<05439>_;

because she hath been rebellious
<04784> (8804)

against me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

4:18

Thy way
<01870>

and thy doings
<04611>

have procured
<06213> (8804)

these [things] unto thee; this [is] thy wickedness
<07451>_,

because it is bitter
<04751>_,

because it reacheth
<05060> (8804)

unto thine heart
<03820>_.

4:19

My bowels
<04578>_,

my bowels
<04578>_!

I am pained
<02342> (8799) (8675) <03176> (8686)

at my very
<07023>

heart
<03820>_;

my heart
<03820>

maketh a noise
<01993> (8802)

in me; I cannot hold my peace
<02790> (8686)_,

because thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_,

O my soul
<05315>_,

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_,

the alarm
<08643>

of war
<04421>_.

{my very...: Heb. the walls of my heart}

4:20

Destruction
<07667>

upon destruction
<07667>

is cried
<07121> (8738)_;

for the whole land
<0776>

is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:

suddenly
<06597>

are my tents
<0168>

spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,

[and] my curtains
<03407>

in a moment
<07281>_.

4:21

How long shall I see
<07200> (8799)

the standard
<05251>_,

[and] hear
<08085> (8799)

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_?

4:22

For my people
<05971>

[is] foolish
<0191>_,

they have not known
<03045> (8804)

me; they [are] sottish
<05530>

children
<01121>_,

and they have none understanding
<0995> (8737)_:

they [are] wise
<02450>

to do evil
<07489> (8687)_,

but to do good
<03190> (8687)

they have no knowledge
<03045> (8804)_.

4:23

I beheld
<07200> (8804)

the earth
<0776>_,

and, lo, [it was] without form
<08414>_,

and void
<0922>_;

and the heavens
<08064>_,

and they [had] no light
<0216>_.

4:24

I beheld
<07200> (8804)

the mountains
<02022>_,

and, lo, they trembled
<07493> (8801)_,

and all the hills
<01389>

moved lightly
<07043> (8701)_.

4:25

I beheld
<07200> (8804)_,

and, lo, [there was] no man
<0120>_,

and all the birds
<05775>

of the heavens
<08064>

were fled
<05074> (8804)_.

4:26

I beheld
<07200> (8804)_,

and, lo, the fruitful place
<03759>

[was] a wilderness
<04057>_,

and all the cities
<05892>

thereof were broken down
<05422> (8738)

at the presence
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] by his fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>_.

4:27

For thus hath the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

The whole land
<0776>

shall be desolate
<08077>_;

yet will I not make
<06213> (8799)

a full end
<03617>_.

4:28

For this shall the earth
<0776>

mourn
<056> (8799)_,

and the heavens
<08064>

above
<04605>

be black
<06937> (8804)_:

because I have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it], I have purposed
<02161> (8804)

[it], and will not repent
<05162> (8738)_,

neither will I turn back
<07725> (8799)

from it.

4:29

The whole city
<05892>

shall flee
<01272> (8802)

for the noise
<06963>

of the horsemen
<06571>

and bowmen
<07198> <07411> (8802)_;

they shall go
<0935> (8804)

into thickets
<05645>_,

and climb up
<05927> (8804)

upon the rocks
<03710>_:

every city
<05892>

[shall be] forsaken
<05800> (8803)_,

and not a man
<0376>

dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein
<02004>_.

4:30

And [when] thou [art] spoiled
<07703> (8803)_,

what wilt thou do
<06213> (8799)_?

Though thou clothest
<03847> (8799)

thyself with crimson
<08144>_,

though thou deckest
<05710> (8799)

thee with ornaments
<05716>

of gold
<02091>_,

though thou rentest
<07167> (8799)

thy face
<05869>

with painting
<06320>_,

in vain
<07723>

shalt thou make thyself fair
<03302> (8691)_;

[thy] lovers
<05689> (8802)

will despise
<03988> (8804)

thee, they will seek
<01245> (8762)

thy life
<05315>_.

{face: Heb. eyes}

4:31

For I have heard
<08085> (8804)

a voice
<06963>

as of a woman in travail
<02470> (8802)_,

[and] the anguish
<06869>

as of her that bringeth forth her first child
<01069> (8688)_,

the voice
<06963>

of the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_,

[that] bewaileth
<03306> (8691)

herself, [that] spreadeth
<06566> (8762)

her hands
<03709>_,

[saying], Woe
<0188>

[is] me now! for my soul
<05315>

is wearied
<05888> (8804)

because of murderers
<02026> (8802)_.

5:1

Run ye to and fro
<07751> (8786)

through the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)

now, and know
<03045> (8798)_,

and seek
<01245> (8761)

in the broad places
<07339>

thereof, if ye can find
<04672> (8799)

a man
<0376>_,

if there be
<03426>

[any] that executeth
<06213> (8802)

judgment
<04941>_,

that seeketh
<01245> (8764)

the truth
<0530>_;

and I will pardon
<05545> (8799)

it.

5:2

And though they say
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_;

surely they swear
<07650> (8735)

falsely
<08267>_.

5:3

O LORD
<03068>_,

[are] not thine eyes
<05869>

upon the truth
<0530>_?

thou hast stricken
<05221> (8689)

them, but they have not grieved
<02342> (8804)_;

thou hast consumed
<03615> (8765)

them, [but] they have refused
<03985> (8765)

to receive
<03947> (8800)

correction
<04148>_:

they have made their faces
<06440>

harder
<02388> (8765)

than a rock
<05553>_;

they have refused
<03985> (8765)

to return
<07725> (8800)_.

5:4

Therefore I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely these [are] poor
<01800>_;

they are foolish
<02973> (8738)_:

for they know
<03045> (8804)

not the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[nor] the judgment
<04941>

of their God
<0430>_.

5:5

I will get
<03212> (8799)

me unto the great men
<01419>_,

and will speak
<01696> (8762)

unto them; for they have known
<03045> (8804)

the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] the judgment
<04941>

of their God
<0430>_:

but these have altogether
<03162>

broken
<07665> (8804)

the yoke
<05923>_,

[and] burst
<05423> (8765)

the bonds
<04147>_.

5:6

Wherefore a lion
<0738>

out of the forest
<03293>

shall slay
<05221> (8689)

them, [and] a wolf
<02061>

of the evenings
<06160>

shall spoil
<07703> (8799)

them, a leopard
<05246>

shall watch
<08245> (8802)

over their cities
<05892>_:

every one that goeth out
<03318> (8802)

thence shall
<02007>

be torn in pieces
<02963> (8735)_:

because their transgressions
<06588>

are many
<07231> (8804)_,

[and] their backslidings
<04878>

are increased
<06105> (8804)_.

{evenings: or, deserts} {are increased: Heb. are strong}

5:7

How
<0335>

shall I pardon
<05545> (8799)

thee for this
<02063>_?

thy children
<01121>

have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and sworn
<07650> (8735)

by [them that are] no
<03808>

gods
<0430>_:

when I had fed them to the full
<07650> (8686)_,

they then committed adultery
<05003> (8799)_,

and assembled themselves by troops
<01413> (8704)

in the harlots
<02181> (8802)_'

houses
<01004>_.

5:8

They were [as] fed
<02109> (8716)

horses
<05483>

in the morning
<07904> (8688)_:

every one
<0376>

neighed
<06670> (8799)

after his neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_.

5:9

Shall I not visit
<06485> (8799)

for these [things]? saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

and shall not my soul
<05315>

be avenged
<05358> (8691)

on such a nation
<01471>

as this?

5:10

Go ye up
<05927> (8798)

upon her walls
<08284>_,

and destroy
<07843> (8761)_;

but make
<06213> (8799)

not a full end
<03617>_:

take away
<05493> (8685)

her battlements
<05189>_;

for they [are] not the LORD'S
<03068>_.

5:11

For the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

and the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

have dealt very
<0898> (8800)

treacherously
<0898> (8804)

against me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

5:12

They have belied
<03584> (8765)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] not he; neither shall evil
<07451>

come
<0935> (8799)

upon us; neither shall we see
<07200> (8799)

sword
<02719>

nor famine
<07458>_:

5:13

And the prophets
<05030>

shall become wind
<07307>_,

and the word
<01696> (8763)

[is] not in them: thus shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

unto them.

5:14

Wherefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_,

Because ye speak
<01696> (8763)

this word
<01697>_,

behold, I will make
<05414> (8802)

my words
<01697>

in thy mouth
<06310>

fire
<0784>_,

and this people
<05971>

wood
<06086>_,

and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

them.

5:15

Lo, I will bring
<0935> (8688)

a nation
<01471>

upon you from far
<04801>_,

O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

it [is] a mighty
<0386>

nation
<01471>_,

it [is] an ancient
<05769>

nation
<01471>_,

a nation
<01471>

whose language
<03956>

thou knowest
<03045> (8799)

not, neither understandest
<08085> (8799)

what they say
<01696> (8762)_.

5:16

Their quiver
<0827>

[is] as an open
<06605> (8803)

sepulchre
<06913>_,

they [are] all mighty men
<01368>_.

5:17

And they shall eat up
<0398> (8804)

thine harvest
<07105>_,

and thy bread
<03899>_,

[which] thy sons
<01121>

and thy daughters
<01323>

should eat
<0398> (8799)_:

they shall eat up
<0398> (8799)

thy flocks
<06629>

and thine herds
<01241>_:

they shall eat up
<0398> (8799)

thy vines
<01612>

and thy fig trees
<08384>_:

they shall impoverish
<07567> (8779)

thy fenced
<04013>

cities
<05892>_,

wherein thou
<02007>

trustedst
<0982> (8802)_,

with the sword
<02719>_.

5:18

Nevertheless in those days
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

I will not make
<06213> (8799)

a full end
<03617>

with you.

5:19

And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore
<08478> <04100>

doeth
<06213> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

all these [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer
<0559> (8804)

them, Like as ye have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and served
<05647> (8799)

strange
<05236>

gods
<0430>

in your land
<0776>_,

so shall ye serve
<05647> (8799)

strangers
<02114> (8801)

in a land
<0776>

[that is] not yours.

5:20

Declare
<05046> (8685)

this in the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and publish
<08085> (8685)

it in Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

5:21

Hear
<08085> (8798)

now this, O foolish
<05530>

people
<05971>_,

and without understanding
<03820>_;

which have eyes
<05869>_,

and see
<07200> (8799)

not; which have ears
<0241>_,

and hear
<08085> (8799)

not: {understanding: Heb. heart}

5:22

Fear
<03372> (8799)

ye not me? saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

will ye not tremble
<02342> (8799)

at my presence
<06440>_,

which have placed
<07760> (8804)

the sand
<02344>

[for] the bound
<01366>

of the sea
<03220>

by a perpetual
<05769>

decree
<02706>_,

that it cannot pass
<05674> (8799)

it: and though the waves
<01530>

thereof toss
<01607> (8691)

themselves, yet can they not prevail
<03201> (8799)_;

though they roar
<01993> (8804)_,

yet can they not pass over
<05674> (8799)

it?

5:23

But this people
<05971>

hath a revolting
<05637> (8802)

and a rebellious
<04784> (8802)

heart
<03820>_;

they are revolted
<05493> (8804)

and gone
<03212> (8799)_.

5:24

Neither say
<0559> (8804)

they in their heart
<03824>_,

Let us now fear
<03372> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

that giveth
<05414> (8802)

rain
<01653>_,

both the former
<03138>

and the latter
<04456>_,

in his season
<06256>_:

he reserveth
<08104> (8799)

unto us the appointed
<02708>

weeks
<07620>

of the harvest
<07105>_.

5:25

Your iniquities
<05771>

have turned away
<05186> (8689)

these [things], and your sins
<02403>

have withholden
<04513> (8804)

good
<02896>

[things] from you.

5:26

For among my people
<05971>

are found
<04672> (8738)

wicked
<07563>

[men]: they lay wait
<07789> (8799)_,

as he that setteth
<07918> (8800)

snares
<03353>_;

they set
<05324> (8689)

a trap
<04889>_,

they catch
<03920> (8799)

men
<0582>_.

{they lay...: or, they pry as fowlers lie in wait}

5:27

As a cage
<03619>

is full
<04392>

of birds
<05775>_,

so [are] their houses
<01004>

full
<04392>

of deceit
<04820>_:

therefore they are become great
<01431> (8804)_,

and waxen rich
<06238> (8686)_.

{cage: or, coop}

5:28

They are waxen fat
<08080> (8804)_,

they shine
<06245> (8804)_:

yea, they overpass
<05674> (8804)

the deeds
<01697>

of the wicked
<07451>_:

they judge
<01777> (8804)

not the cause
<01779>_,

the cause of the fatherless
<03490>_,

yet they prosper
<06743> (8686)_;

and the right
<04941>

of the needy
<034>

do they not judge
<08199> (8804)_.

5:29

Shall I not visit
<06485> (8799)

for these [things]? saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

shall not my soul
<05315>

be avenged
<05358> (8691)

on such a nation
<01471>

as this?

5:30

A wonderful
<08047>

and horrible thing
<08186>

is committed
<01961> (8738)

in the land
<0776>_;

{A wonderful...: or, Astonishment and filthiness}

5:31

The prophets
<05030>

prophesy
<05012> (8738)

falsely
<08267>_,

and the priests
<03548>

bear rule
<07287> (8799)

by their means
<03027>_;

and my people
<05971>

love
<0157> (8804)

[to have it] so: and what will ye do
<06213> (8799)

in the end
<0319>

thereof? {bear...: or, take into their hands}

6:1

O ye children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

gather yourselves to flee
<05756> (8685)

out of the midst
<07130>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and blow
<08628> (8798)

the trumpet
<07782>

in Tekoa
<08620>_,

and set up
<05375> (8798)

a sign
<04864>

of fire in Bethhaccerem
<01021>_:

for evil
<07451>

appeareth
<08259> (8738)

out of the north
<06828>_,

and great
<01419>

destruction
<07667>_.

6:2

I have likened
<01820> (8804)

the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>

to a comely
<05116>

and delicate
<06026> (8794)

[woman]. {comely: or, dwelling at home}

6:3

The shepherds
<07462> (8802)

with their flocks
<05739>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto her; they shall pitch
<08628> (8804)

[their] tents
<0168>

against her round about
<05439>_;

they shall feed
<07462> (8804)

every one
<0376>

in his place
<03027>_.

6:4

Prepare
<06942> (8761)

ye war
<04421>

against her; arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and let us go up
<05927> (8799)

at noon
<06672>_.

Woe
<0188>

unto us! for the day
<03117>

goeth away
<06437> (8804)_,

for the shadows
<06752>

of the evening
<06153>

are stretched out
<05186> (8735)_.

6:5

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and let us go
<05927> (8799)

by night
<03915>_,

and let us destroy
<07843> (8686)

her palaces
<0759>_.

6:6

For thus hath the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

Hew ye down
<03772> (8798)

trees
<06097>_,

and cast
<08210> (8798)

a mount
<05550>

against Jerusalem
<03389>_:

this [is] the city
<05892>

to be visited
<06485> (8717)_;

she [is] wholly oppression
<06233>

in the midst
<07130>

of her. {cast...: or, pour out the engine of shot}

6:7

As a fountain
<0953>

casteth out
<06979> (8687)

her waters
<04325>_,

so she casteth out
<06979> (8689)

her wickedness
<07451>_:

violence
<02555>

and spoil
<07701>

is heard
<08085> (8735)

in her; before me
<06440>

continually
<08548>

[is] grief
<02483>

and wounds
<04347>_.

6:8

Be thou instructed
<03256> (8734)_,

O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

lest my soul
<05315>

depart
<03363> (8799)

from thee; lest I make
<07760> (8799)

thee desolate
<08077>_,

a land
<0776>

not inhabited
<03427> (8738)_.

{depart: Heb. be loosed, or, disjointed}

6:9

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

They shall throughly
<05953> (8780)

glean
<05953> (8779)

the remnant
<07611>

of Israel
<03478>

as a vine
<01612>_:

turn back
<07725> (8685)

thine hand
<03027>

as a grapegatherer
<01219> (8802)

into the baskets
<05552>_.

6:10

To whom shall I speak
<01696> (8762)_,

and give warning
<05749> (8686)_,

that they may hear
<08085> (8799)_?

behold, their ear
<0241>

[is] uncircumcised
<06189>_,

and they cannot
<03201> (8799)

hearken
<07181> (8687)_:

behold, the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

is unto them a reproach
<02781>_;

they have no delight
<02654> (8799)

in it.

6:11

Therefore I am full
<04392>

of the fury
<02534>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

I am weary
<03811> (8738)

with holding in
<03557> (8687)_:

I will pour it out
<08210> (8800)

upon the children
<05768>

abroad
<02351>_,

and upon the assembly
<05475>

of young men
<0970>

together
<03162>_:

for even the husband
<0376>

with the wife
<0802>

shall be taken
<03920> (8735)_,

the aged
<02205>

with [him that is] full
<04390> (8804)

of days
<03117>_.

6:12

And their houses
<01004>

shall be turned
<05437> (8738)

unto others
<0312>_,

[with their] fields
<07704>

and wives
<0802>

together
<03162>_:

for I will stretch out
<05186> (8686)

my hand
<03027>

upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

6:13

For from the least
<06996>

of them even unto the greatest
<01419>

of them every one [is] given
<01214> (8802)

to covetousness
<01215>_;

and from the prophet
<05030>

even unto the priest
<03548>

every one dealeth
<06213> (8802)

falsely
<08267>_.

6:14

They have healed
<07495> (8762)

also the hurt
<07667>

[of the daughter
<01323> (8676)_]

of my people
<05971>

slightly
<07043> (8738)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Peace
<07965>_,

peace
<07965>_;

when [there is] no peace
<07965>_.

{hurt: Heb. bruise, or, breach}

6:15

Were they ashamed
<03001> (8689)

when they had committed
<06213> (8804)

abomination
<08441>_?

nay
<01571>_,

they were not at all
<0954> (8800)

ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,

neither
<01571>

could
<03045> (8804)

they blush
<03637> (8687)_:

therefore they shall fall
<05307> (8799)

among them that fall
<05307> (8802)_:

at the time
<06256>

[that] I visit
<06485> (8804)

them they shall be cast down
<03782> (8735)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

6:16

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Stand
<05975> (8798)

ye in the ways
<01870>_,

and see
<07200> (8799)_,

and ask
<07592> (8798)

for the old
<05769>

paths
<05410>_,

where [is] the good
<02896>

way
<01870>_,

and walk
<03212> (8799)

therein, and ye shall find
<04672> (8798)

rest
<04771>

for your souls
<05315>_.

But they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We will not walk
<03212> (8798)

[therein].

6:17

Also I set
<06965> (8689)

watchmen
<06822> (8802)

over you, [saying], Hearken
<07181> (8685)

to the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_.

But they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We will not hearken
<07181> (8686)_.

6:18

Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)_,

ye nations
<01471>_,

and know
<03045> (8798)_,

O congregation
<05712>_,

what [is] among them.

6:19

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

O earth
<0776>_:

behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)

evil
<07451>

upon this people
<05971>_,

[even] the fruit
<06529>

of their thoughts
<04284>_,

because they have not hearkened
<07181> (8689)

unto my words
<01697>_,

nor to my law
<08451>_,

but rejected
<03988> (8799)

it.

6:20

To what purpose cometh
<0935> (8799)

there to me incense
<03828>

from Sheba
<07614>_,

and the sweet
<02896>

cane
<07070>

from a far
<04801>

country
<0776>_?

your burnt offerings
<05930>

[are] not acceptable
<07522>_,

nor your sacrifices
<02077>

sweet
<06149> (8804)

unto me.

6:21

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will lay
<05414> (8802)

stumblingblocks
<04383>

before this people
<05971>_,

and the fathers
<01>

and the sons
<01121>

together
<03162>

shall fall
<03782> (8804)

upon them; the neighbour
<07934>

and his friend
<07453>

shall perish
<06> (8804)_.

6:22

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, a people
<05971>

cometh
<0935> (8802)

from the north
<06828>

country
<0776>_,

and a great
<01419>

nation
<01471>

shall be raised
<05782> (8735)

from the sides
<03411>

of the earth
<0776>_.

6:23

They shall lay hold
<02388> (8686)

on bow
<07198>

and spear
<03591>_;

they [are] cruel
<0394>_,

and have no mercy
<07355> (8762)_;

their voice
<06963>

roareth
<01993> (8799)

like the sea
<03220>_;

and they ride
<07392> (8799)

upon horses
<05483>_,

set in array
<06186> (8803)

as men
<0376>

for war
<04421>

against thee, O daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_.

6:24

We have heard
<08085> (8804)

the fame
<08089>

thereof: our hands
<03027>

wax feeble
<07503> (8804)_:

anguish
<06869>

hath taken hold
<02388> (8689)

of us, [and] pain
<02427>_,

as of a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_.

6:25

Go not forth
<03318> (8799)

into the field
<07704>_,

nor walk
<03212> (8799)

by the way
<01870>_;

for the sword
<02719>

of the enemy
<0341> (8802)

[and] fear
<04032>

[is] on every side
<05439>_.

6:26

O daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>_,

gird
<02296> (8798)

[thee] with sackcloth
<08242>_,

and wallow
<06428> (8690)

thyself in ashes
<0665>_:

make
<06213> (8798)

thee mourning
<060>_,

[as for] an only son
<03173>_,

most bitter
<08563>

lamentation
<04553>_:

for the spoiler
<07703> (8802)

shall suddenly
<06597>

come
<0935> (8799)

upon us.

6:27

I have set
<05414> (8804)

thee [for] a tower
<0969>

[and] a fortress
<04013>

among my people
<05971>_,

that thou mayest know
<03045> (8799)

and try
<0974> (8804)

their way
<01870>_.

6:28

They [are] all grievous
<05493> (8802)

revolters
<05637> (8802)_,

walking
<01980> (8802)

with slanders
<07400>_:

[they are] brass
<05178>

and iron
<01270>_;

they [are] all corrupters
<07843> (8688)_.

6:29

The bellows
<04647>

are burned
<02787> (8738)_,

the lead
<05777>

is consumed
<08552> (8804)

of the fire
<0800> <0784>_;

the founder
<06884> (8800)

melteth
<06884> (8804)

in vain
<07723>_:

for the wicked
<07451>

are not plucked away
<05423> (8738)_.

6:30

Reprobate
<03988> (8737)

silver
<03701>

shall [men] call
<07121> (8804)

them, because the LORD
<03068>

hath rejected
<03988> (8804)

them. {Reprobate...: or, Refuse silver}

7:1

The word
<01697>

that came to Jeremiah
<03414>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

7:2

Stand
<05975> (8798)

in the gate
<08179>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_,

and proclaim
<07121> (8804)

there this word
<01697>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

all [ye of] Judah
<03063>_,

that enter in
<0935> (8802)

at these gates
<08179>

to worship
<07812> (8692)

the LORD
<03068>_.

7:3

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Amend
<03190> (8685)

your ways
<01870>

and your doings
<04611>_,

and I will cause you to dwell
<07931> (8762)

in this place
<04725>_.

7:4

Trust
<0982> (8799)

ye not in lying
<08267>

words
<01697>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

The temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

The temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[are] these.

7:5

For if ye throughly
<03190> (8687)

amend
<03190> (8686)

your ways
<01870>

and your doings
<04611>_;

if ye throughly
<06213> (8800)

execute
<06213> (8799)

judgment
<04941>

between a man
<0376>

and his neighbour
<07453>_;

7:6

[If] ye oppress
<06231> (8799)

not the stranger
<01616>_,

the fatherless
<03490>_,

and the widow
<0490>_,

and shed
<08210> (8799)

not innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>

in this place
<04725>_,

neither walk
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>

to your hurt
<07451>_:

7:7

Then will I cause you to dwell
<07931> (8765)

in this place
<04725>_,

in the land
<0776>

that I gave
<05414> (8804)

to your fathers
<01>_,

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>

and ever
<05769>_.

7:8

Behold, ye trust
<0982> (8802)

in lying
<08267>

words
<01697>_,

that cannot profit
<03276> (8687)_.

7:9

Will ye steal
<01589> (8800)_,

murder
<07523> (8800)_,

and commit adultery
<05003> (8800)_,

and swear
<07650> (8736)

falsely
<08267>_,

and burn incense
<06999> (8763)

unto Baal
<01168>_,

and walk
<01980> (8800)

after
<0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>

whom ye know
<03045> (8804)

not;

7:10

And come
<0935> (8804)

and stand
<05975> (8804)

before
<06440>

me in this house
<01004>_,

which is called
<07121> (8738)

by my name
<08034>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

We are delivered
<05337> (8738)

to do
<06213> (8800)

all these abominations
<08441>_?

{which...: Heb. whereupon my name is called}

7:11

Is this house
<01004>_,

which is called
<07121> (8738)

by my name
<08034>_,

become a den
<04631>

of robbers
<06530>

in your eyes
<05869>_?

Behold, even I have seen
<07200> (8804)

[it], saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

7:12

But go
<03212> (8798)

ye now unto my place
<04725>

which [was] in Shiloh
<07887>_,

where I set
<07931> (8765)

my name
<08034>

at the first
<07223>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)

what I did
<06213> (8804)

to it for
<06440>

the wickedness
<07451>

of my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_.

7:13

And now, because ye have done
<06213> (8800)

all these works
<04639>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and I spake
<01696> (8762)

unto you, rising up early
<07925> (8687)

and speaking
<01696> (8763)_,

but ye heard
<08085> (8804)

not; and I called
<07121> (8799)

you, but ye answered
<06030> (8804)

not;

7:14

Therefore will I do
<06213> (8804)

unto [this] house
<01004>_,

which is called
<07121> (8738)

by my name
<08034>_,

wherein ye trust
<0982> (8802)_,

and unto the place
<04725>

which I gave
<05414> (8804)

to you and to your fathers
<01>_,

as I have done
<06213> (8804)

to Shiloh
<07887>_.

7:15

And I will cast you out
<07993> (8689)

of my sight
<06440>_,

as I have cast out
<07993> (8689)

all your brethren
<0251>_,

[even] the whole seed
<02233>

of Ephraim
<0669>_.

7:16

Therefore pray
<06419> (8691)

not thou for this people
<05971>_,

neither lift up
<05375> (8799)

cry
<07440>

nor prayer
<08605>

for them
<01157>_,

neither make intercession
<06293> (8799)

to me: for I will not hear
<08085> (8802)

thee.

7:17

Seest
<07200> (8802)

thou not what they do
<06213> (8802)

in the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

and in the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_?

7:18

The children
<01121>

gather
<03950> (8764)

wood
<06086>_,

and the fathers
<01>

kindle
<01197> (8764)

the fire
<0784>_,

and the women
<0802>

knead
<03888> (8802)

[their] dough
<01217>_,

to make
<06213> (8800)

cakes
<03561>

to the queen
<04446>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and to pour out
<05258> (8687)

drink offerings
<05262>

unto other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

that they may provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)_.

{queen...: or, frame, or, workmanship of heaven}

7:19

Do they provoke me to anger
<03707> (8688)_?

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

[do they] not [provoke] themselves to the confusion
<01322>

of their own faces
<06440>_?

7:20

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Behold, mine anger
<0639>

and my fury
<02534>

shall be poured out
<05413> (8737)

upon this place
<04725>_,

upon man
<0120>_,

and upon beast
<0929>_,

and upon the trees
<06086>

of the field
<07704>_,

and upon the fruit
<06529>

of the ground
<0127>_;

and it shall burn
<01197> (8804)_,

and shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)_.

7:21

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Put
<05595> (8798)

your burnt offerings
<05930>

unto your sacrifices
<02077>_,

and eat
<0398> (8798)

flesh
<01320>_.

7:22

For I spake
<01696> (8765)

not unto your fathers
<01>_,

nor commanded
<06680> (8765)

them in the day
<03117>

that I brought them out
<03318> (8687)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

concerning
<01697>

burnt offerings
<05930>

or sacrifices
<02077>_:

{concerning: Heb. concerning the matter of}

7:23

But this thing
<01697>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

I them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Obey
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>_,

and I will be your God
<0430>_,

and ye shall be my people
<05971>_:

and walk
<01980> (8804)

ye in all the ways
<01870>

that I have commanded
<06680> (8762)

you, that it may be well
<03190> (8799)

unto you.

7:24

But they hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not, nor inclined
<05186> (8689)

their ear
<0241>_,

but walked
<03212> (8799)

in the counsels
<04156>

[and] in the imagination
<08307>

of their evil
<07451>

heart
<03820>_,

and went backward
<0268>_,

and not forward
<06440>_.

{imagination: or, stubbornness} {went: Heb. were}

7:25

Since the day
<03117>

that your fathers
<01>

came forth out
<03318> (8804)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

unto this day
<03117>

I have even sent
<07971> (8799)

unto you all my servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_,

daily
<03117>

rising up early
<07925> (8687)

and sending
<07971> (8800)

[them]:

7:26

Yet they hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto me, nor inclined
<05186> (8689)

their ear
<0241>_,

but hardened
<07185> (8686)

their neck
<06203>_:

they did worse
<07489> (8689)

than their fathers
<01>_.

7:27

Therefore thou shalt speak
<01696> (8765)

all these words
<01697>

unto them; but they will not hearken
<08085> (8799)

to thee: thou shalt also call
<07121> (8804)

unto them; but they will not answer
<06030> (8799)

thee.

7:28

But thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, This [is] a nation
<01471>

that obeyeth
<08085> (8804)

not the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

nor receiveth
<03947> (8804)

correction
<04148>_:

truth
<0530>

is perished
<06> (8804)_,

and is cut off
<03772> (8738)

from their mouth
<06310>_.

{correction: or, instruction}

7:29

Cut off
<01494> (8798)

thine hair
<05145>_,

[O Jerusalem], and cast [it] away
<07993> (8685)_,

and take up
<05375> (8798)

a lamentation
<07015>

on high places
<08205>_;

for the LORD
<03068>

hath rejected
<03988> (8804)

and forsaken
<05203> (8799)

the generation
<01755>

of his wrath
<05678>_.

7:30

For the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

have done
<06213> (8804)

evil
<07451>

in my sight
<05869>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

they have set
<07760> (8804)

their abominations
<08251>

in the house
<01004>

which is called
<07121> (8738)

by my name
<08034>_,

to pollute
<02930> (8763)

it.

7:31

And they have built
<01129> (8804)

the high places
<01116>

of Tophet
<08612>_,

which [is] in the valley
<01516>

of the son
<01121>

of Hinnom
<02011>_,

to burn
<08313> (8800)

their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>

in the fire
<0784>_;

which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

[them] not, neither came
<05927> (8804)

it into my heart
<03820>_.

{came...: Heb. came it upon my heart}

7:32

Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that it shall no more be called
<0559> (8735)

Tophet
<08612>_,

nor the valley
<01516>

of the son
<01121>

of Hinnom
<02011>_,

but the valley
<01516>

of slaughter
<02028>_:

for they shall bury
<06912> (8804)

in Tophet
<08612>_,

till there be no
<0369>

place
<04725>_.

7:33

And the carcases
<05038>

of this people
<05971>

shall be meat
<03978>

for the fowls
<05775>

of the heaven
<08064>_,

and for the beasts
<0929>

of the earth
<0776>_;

and none shall fray [them] away
<02729> (8688)_.

7:34

Then will I cause to cease
<07673> (8689)

from the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and from the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

the voice
<06963>

of mirth
<08342>_,

and the voice
<06963>

of gladness
<08057>_,

the voice
<06963>

of the bridegroom
<02860>_,

and the voice
<06963>

of the bride
<03618>_:

for the land
<0776>

shall be desolate
<02723>_.

8:1

At that time
<06256>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

they shall bring out
<03318> (8686)

the bones
<06106>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and the bones
<06106>

of his princes
<08269>_,

and the bones
<06106>

of the priests
<03548>_,

and the bones
<06106>

of the prophets
<05030>_,

and the bones
<06106>

of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

out of their graves
<06913>_:

8:2

And they shall spread
<07849> (8804)

them before the sun
<08121>_,

and the moon
<03394>_,

and all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_,

whom they have loved
<0157> (8804)_,

and whom they have served
<05647> (8804)_,

and after
<0310>

whom they have walked
<01980> (8804)_,

and whom they have sought
<01875> (8804)_,

and whom they have worshipped
<07812> (8694)_:

they shall not be gathered
<0622> (8735)_,

nor be buried
<06912> (8735)_;

they shall be for dung
<01828>

upon the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0127>_.

8:3

And death
<04194>

shall be chosen
<0977> (8738)

rather than life
<02416>

by all the residue
<07611>

of them that remain
<07604> (8737)

of this evil
<07451>

family
<04940>_,

which remain
<07604> (8737)

in all the places
<04725>

whither I have driven
<05080> (8689)

them, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

8:4

Moreover thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Shall they fall
<05307> (8799)_,

and not arise
<06965> (8799)_?

shall he turn away
<07725> (8799)_,

and not return
<07725> (8799)_?

8:5

Why [then] is this people
<05971>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

slidden back
<07725> (8790)

by a perpetual
<05329> (8737)

backsliding
<04878>_?

they hold
<02388> (8689)

fast deceit
<08649>_,

they refuse
<03985> (8765)

to return
<07725> (8800)_.

8:6

I hearkened
<07181> (8689)

and heard
<08085> (8799)_,

[but] they spake not aright
<01696> (8762)_:

no man
<0376>

repented
<05162> (8737)

him of
<05921>

his wickedness
<07451>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What have I done
<06213> (8804)_?

every one turned
<07725> (8804)

to his course
<04794>_,

as the horse
<05483>

rusheth
<07857> (8802)

into the battle
<04421>_.

8:7

Yea, the stork
<02624>

in the heaven
<08064>

knoweth
<03045> (8804)

her appointed times
<04150>_;

and the turtle
<08449>

and the crane
<05483>

and the swallow
<05693>

observe
<08104> (8804)

the time
<06256>

of their coming
<0935> (8800)_;

but my people
<05971>

know
<03045> (8804)

not the judgment
<04941>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

8:8

How do ye say
<0559> (8799)_,

We [are] wise
<02450>_,

and the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] with us? Lo, certainly
<0403>

in vain
<08267>

made
<06213> (8804)

he [it]; the pen
<05842>

of the scribes
<05608> (8802)

[is] in vain
<08267>_.

{in vain made...: or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood}

8:9

The wise
<02450>

[men] are ashamed
<03001> (8689)_,

they are dismayed
<02865> (8804)

and taken
<03920> (8735)_:

lo, they have rejected
<03988> (8804)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

and what wisdom
<02451>

[is] in them? {The wise...: or, Have they been ashamed, etc} {what...: Heb. the wisdom of what thing}

8:10

Therefore will I give
<05414> (8799)

their wives
<0802>

unto others
<0312>_,

[and] their fields
<07704>

to them that shall inherit
<03423> (8802)

[them]: for every one from the least
<06996>

even unto the greatest
<01419>

is given
<01214> (8802)

to covetousness
<01215>_,

from the prophet
<05030>

even unto the priest
<03548>

every one dealeth
<06213> (8802)

falsely
<08267>_.

8:11

For they have healed
<07495> (8762)

the hurt
<07667>

of the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>

slightly
<07043> (8738)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Peace
<07965>_,

peace
<07965>_;

when [there is] no peace
<07965>_.

8:12

Were they ashamed
<03001> (8689)

when they had committed
<06213> (8804)

abomination
<08441>_?

nay, they were not at all
<0954> (8800)

ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,

neither could
<03045> (8804)

they blush
<03637> (8736)_:

therefore shall they fall
<05307> (8799)

among them that fall
<05307> (8802)_:

in the time
<06256>

of their visitation
<06486>

they shall be cast down
<03782> (8735)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{I will...: or, In gathering I will consume}

8:13

I will surely
<0622> (8800)

consume
<05486> (8686)

them, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

[there shall be] no grapes
<06025>

on the vine
<01612>_,

nor figs
<08384>

on the fig tree
<08384>_,

and the leaf
<05929>

shall fade
<05034> (8804)_;

and [the things that] I have given
<05414> (8799)

them shall pass away
<05674> (8799)

from them.

8:14

Why do we sit still
<03427> (8802)_?

assemble
<0622> (8734)

yourselves, and let us enter
<0935> (8799)

into the defenced
<04013>

cities
<05892>_,

and let us be silent
<01826> (8735)

there: for the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

hath put us to silence
<01826> (8689)_,

and given us water
<04325>

of gall
<07219>

to drink
<08248> (8686)_,

because we have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>_.

{gall: or, poison}

8:15

We looked
<06960> (8763)

for peace
<07965>_,

but no good
<02896>

[came; and] for a time
<06256>

of health
<04832>_,

and behold trouble
<01205>_!

8:16

The snorting
<05170>

of his horses
<05483>

was heard
<08085> (8738)

from Dan
<01835>_:

the whole land
<0776>

trembled
<07493> (8804)

at the sound
<06963>

of the neighing
<04684>

of his strong ones
<047>_;

for they are come
<0935> (8799)_,

and have devoured
<0398> (8799)

the land
<0776>_,

and all
<04393>

that is in it; the city
<05892>_,

and those that dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein. {all...: Heb. the fulness thereof}

8:17

For, behold, I will send
<07971> (8764)

serpents
<05175>_,

cockatrices
<06848>_,

among you, which [will] not [be] charmed
<03908>_,

and they shall bite
<05391> (8765)

you, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

8:18

[When] I would comfort
<04010>

myself against sorrow
<03015>_,

my heart
<03820>

[is] faint
<01742>

in me. {in: Heb. upon}

8:19

Behold the voice
<06963>

of the cry
<07775>

of the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>

because of them that dwell in a far
<04801>

country
<0776>_:

[Is] not the LORD
<03068>

in Zion
<06726>_?

[is] not her king
<04428>

in her? Why have they provoked me to anger
<03707> (8689)

with their graven images
<06456>_,

[and] with strange
<05236>

vanities
<01892>_?

{them...: Heb. the country of them that are far off}

8:20

The harvest
<07105>

is past
<05674> (8804)_,

the summer
<07019>

is ended
<03615> (8804)_,

and we are not saved
<03467> (8738)_.

8:21

For the hurt
<07667>

of the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>

am I hurt
<07665> (8717)_;

I am black
<06937> (8804)_;

astonishment
<08047>

hath taken hold
<02388> (8689)

on me.

8:22

[Is there] no balm
<06875>

in Gilead
<01568>_;

[is there] no physician
<07495> (8802)

there? why then
<03588>

is not the health
<0724>

of the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>

recovered
<05927> (8804)_?

{recovered: Heb. gone up?}

9:1

Oh that
<05414> (8799)

my head
<07218>

were waters
<04325>_,

and mine eyes
<05869>

a fountain
<04726>

of tears
<01832>_,

that I might weep
<01058> (8799)

day
<03119>

and night
<03915>

for the slain
<02491>

of the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>_!

{Oh...: Heb. Who will give my head, etc}

9:2

Oh that
<05414> (8799)

I had in the wilderness
<04057>

a lodging place
<04411>

of wayfaring men
<0732> (8802)_;

that I might leave
<05800> (8799)

my people
<05971>_,

and go
<03212> (8799)

from them! for they [be] all adulterers
<05003> (8764)_,

an assembly
<06116>

of treacherous men
<0898> (8802)_.

9:3

And they bend
<01869> (8686)

their tongues
<03956>

[like] their bow
<07198>

[for] lies
<08267>_:

but they are not valiant
<01396> (8804)

for the truth
<0530>

upon the earth
<0776>_;

for they proceed
<03318> (8804)

from evil
<07451>

to evil
<07451>_,

and they know
<03045> (8804)

not me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

9:4

Take ye heed
<08104> (8734)

every one
<0376>

of his neighbour
<07453>_,

and trust
<0982> (8799)

ye not in any brother
<0251>_:

for every brother
<0251>

will utterly
<06117> (8800)

supplant
<06117> (8799)_,

and every neighbour
<07453>

will walk
<01980> (8799)

with slanders
<07400>_.

{neighbour: or, friend}

9:5

And they will deceive
<02048> (8762)

every one
<0376>

his neighbour
<07453>_,

and will not speak
<01696> (8762)

the truth
<0571>_:

they have taught
<03925> (8765)

their tongue
<03956>

to speak
<01696> (8763)

lies
<08267>_,

[and] weary
<03811> (8738)

themselves to commit iniquity
<05753> (8687)_.

{deceive: or, mock}

9:6

Thine habitation
<03427> (8800)

[is] in the midst
<08432>

of deceit
<04820>_;

through deceit
<04820>

they refuse
<03985> (8765)

to know
<03045> (8800)

me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

9:7

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

Behold, I will melt
<06884> (8802)

them, and try
<0974> (8804)

them; for how shall I do
<06213> (8799)

for
<06440>

the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>_?

9:8

Their tongue
<03956>

[is as] an arrow
<02671>

shot out
<07819> (8803)_;

it speaketh
<01696> (8765)

deceit
<04820>_:

[one] speaketh
<01696> (8762)

peaceably
<07965>

to his neighbour
<07453>

with his mouth
<06310>_,

but in heart
<07130>

he layeth
<07760> (8799)

his wait
<0696>_.

{in heart: Heb. in the midst of him} {his wait: or, wait for him}

9:9

Shall I not visit
<06485> (8799)

them for these [things]? saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

shall not my soul
<05315>

be avenged
<05358> (8691)

on such a nation
<01471>

as this?

9:10

For the mountains
<02022>

will I take up
<05375> (8799)

a weeping
<01065>

and wailing
<05092>_,

and for the habitations
<04999>

of the wilderness
<04057>

a lamentation
<07015>_,

because they are burned up
<03341> (8738)_,

so that none
<0376>

can pass
<05674> (8802)

through [them]; neither can [men] hear
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of the cattle
<04735>_;

both the fowl
<05775>

of the heavens
<08064>

and the beast
<0929>

are fled
<05074> (8804)_;

they are gone
<01980> (8804)_.

{habitations: or, pastures} {burned up: or, desolate} {both...: Heb. from the fowl even to, etc}

9:11

And I will make
<05414> (8804)

Jerusalem
<03389>

heaps
<01530>_,

[and] a den
<04583>

of dragons
<08577>_;

and I will make
<05414> (8799)

the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

desolate
<08077>_,

without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.

{desolate: Heb. desolation}

9:12

Who [is] the wise
<02450>

man
<0376>_,

that may understand
<0995> (8799)

this? and [who is he] to whom the mouth
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_,

that he may declare
<05046> (8686)

it, for what the land
<0776>

perisheth
<06> (8804)

[and] is burned up
<03341> (8738)

like a wilderness
<04057>_,

that none passeth through
<05674> (8802)_?

9:13

And the LORD
<03068>

saith
<0559> (8799)_,

Because they have forsaken
<05800> (8800)

my law
<08451>

which I set
<05414> (8804)

before
<06440>

them, and have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_,

neither walked
<01980> (8804)

therein;

9:14

But have walked
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

the imagination
<08307>

of their own heart
<03820>_,

and after
<0310>

Baalim
<01168>_,

which their fathers
<01>

taught
<03925> (8765)

them: {imagination: or, stubbornness}

9:15

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Behold, I will feed
<0398> (8688)

them, [even] this people
<05971>_,

with wormwood
<03939>_,

and give them water
<04325>

of gall
<07219>

to drink
<08248> (8689)_.

9:16

I will scatter
<06327> (8689)

them also among the heathen
<01471>_,

whom neither they nor their fathers
<01>

have known
<03045> (8804)_:

and I will send
<07971> (8765)

a sword
<02719>

after
<0310>

them, till I have consumed
<03615> (8763)

them.

9:17

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

Consider
<0995> (8708)

ye, and call
<07121> (8798)

for the mourning women
<06969> (8789)_,

that they may come
<0935> (8799)_;

and send
<07971> (8798)

for cunning
<02450>

[women], that they may come
<0935> (8799)_:

9:18

And let them make haste
<04116> (8762)_,

and take up
<05375> (8799)

a wailing
<05092>

for us, that our eyes
<05869>

may run down
<03381> (8799)

with tears
<01832>_,

and our eyelids
<06079>

gush out
<05140> (8799)

with waters
<04325>_.

9:19

For a voice
<06963>

of wailing
<05092>

is heard
<08085> (8738)

out of Zion
<06726>_,

How are we spoiled
<07703> (8795)_!

we are greatly
<03966>

confounded
<0954> (8804)_,

because we have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

the land
<0776>_,

because our dwellings
<04908>

have cast [us] out
<07993> (8689)_.

9:20

Yet hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

O ye women
<0802>_,

and let your ear
<0241>

receive
<03947> (8799)

the word
<01697>

of his mouth
<06310>_,

and teach
<03925> (8761)

your daughters
<01323>

wailing
<05092>_,

and every one
<0802>

her neighbour
<07468>

lamentation
<07015>_.

9:21

For death
<04194>

is come up
<05927> (8804)

into our windows
<02474>_,

[and] is entered
<0935> (8804)

into our palaces
<0759>_,

to cut off
<03772> (8687)

the children
<05768>

from without
<02351>_,

[and] the young men
<0970>

from the streets
<07339>_.

9:22

Speak
<01696> (8761)_,

Thus saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Even the carcases
<05038>

of men
<0120>

shall fall
<05307> (8804)

as dung
<01828>

upon the open
<06440>

field
<07704>_,

and as the handful
<05995>

after
<0310>

the harvestman
<07114> (8802)_,

and none shall gather
<0622> (8764)

[them].

9:23

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Let not the wise
<02450>

[man] glory
<01984> (8691)

in his wisdom
<02451>_,

neither let the mighty
<01368>

[man] glory
<01984> (8691)

in his might
<01369>_,

let not the rich
<06223>

[man] glory
<01984> (8691)

in his riches
<06239>_:

9:24

But let him that glorieth
<01984> (8693)

glory
<01984> (8691)

in this, that he understandeth
<07919> (8687)

and knoweth
<03045> (8800)

me, that I [am] the LORD
<03068>

which exercise
<06213> (8802)

lovingkindness
<02617>_,

judgment
<04941>_,

and righteousness
<06666>_,

in the earth
<0776>_:

for in these [things] I delight
<02654> (8804)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

9:25

Behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that I will punish
<06485> (8804)

all [them which are] circumcised
<04135> (8803)

with the uncircumcised
<06190>_;

{punish: Heb. visit upon}

9:26

Egypt
<04714>_,

and Judah
<03063>_,

and Edom
<0123>_,

and the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and Moab
<04124>_,

and all [that are] in the utmost
<07112> (8803)

corners
<06285>_,

that dwell
<03427> (8802)

in the wilderness
<04057>_:

for all [these] nations
<01471>

[are] uncircumcised
<06189>_,

and all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

[are] uncircumcised
<06189>

in the heart
<03820>_.

{in the utmost...: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of their hair polled}

10:1

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the word
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

speaketh
<01696> (8765)

unto you, O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_:

10:2

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Learn
<03925> (8799)

not the way
<01870>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

and be not dismayed
<02865> (8735)

at the signs
<0226>

of heaven
<08064>_;

for the heathen
<01471>

are dismayed
<02865> (8735)

at them
<01992>_.

10:3

For the customs
<02708>

of the people
<05971>

[are] vain
<01892>_:

for [one] cutteth
<03772> (8804)

a tree
<06086>

out of the forest
<03293>_,

the work
<04639>

of the hands
<03027>

of the workman
<02796>_,

with the axe
<04621>_.

{customs...: Heb. statutes, or, ordinances are vanity}

10:4

They deck
<03302> (8762)

it with silver
<03701>

and with gold
<02091>_;

they fasten
<02388> (8762)

it with nails
<04548>

and with hammers
<04717>_,

that it move
<06328> (8686)

not.

10:5

They [are] upright
<04749>

as the palm tree
<08560>_,

but speak
<01696> (8762)

not: they must needs
<05375> (8800)

be borne
<05375> (8735)_,

because they cannot go
<06805> (8799)_.

Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

of them; for they cannot do evil
<07489> (8686)_,

neither also [is it] in them to do good
<03190> (8687)_.

10:6

Forasmuch as [there is] none like unto thee, O LORD
<03068>_;

thou [art] great
<01419>_,

and thy name
<08034>

[is] great
<01419>

in might
<01369>_.

10:7

Who would not fear
<03372> (8799)

thee, O King
<04428>

of nations
<01471>_?

for to thee doth it appertain
<02969> (8804)_:

forasmuch as among all the wise
<02450>

[men] of the nations
<01471>_,

and in all their kingdoms
<04438>_,

[there is] none like unto thee. {to...: or, it liketh thee}

10:8

But they are altogether
<0259>

brutish
<01197> (8799)

and foolish
<03688> (8799)_:

the stock
<06086>

[is] a doctrine
<04148>

of vanities
<01892>_.

{altogether: Heb. in one, or, at once}

10:9

Silver
<03701>

spread into plates
<07554> (8794)

is brought
<0935> (8714)

from Tarshish
<08659>_,

and gold
<02091>

from Uphaz
<0210>_,

the work
<04639>

of the workman
<02796>_,

and of the hands
<03027>

of the founder
<06884> (8802)_:

blue
<08504>

and purple
<0713>

[is] their clothing
<03830>_:

they [are] all the work
<04639>

of cunning
<02450>

[men].

10:10

But the LORD
<03068>

[is] the true
<0571>

God
<0430>_,

he [is] the living
<02416>

God
<0430>_,

and an everlasting
<05769>

king
<04428>_:

at his wrath
<07110>

the earth
<0776>

shall tremble
<07493> (8799)_,

and the nations
<01471>

shall not be able to abide
<03557> (8686)

his indignation
<02195>_.

{true...: Heb. God of truth} {living God: Heb. living Gods} {everlasting...: Heb. king of eternity}

10:11

Thus
<01836>

shall ye say
<0560> (8748)

unto them, The gods
<0426>

that have not
<03809>

made
<05648> (8754)

the heavens
<08065>

and the earth
<0778>_,

[even] they shall perish
<07> (8748)

from the earth
<0772>_,

and from under
<08460>

these
<0429>

heavens
<08065>_.

10:12

He hath made
<06213> (8802)

the earth
<0776>

by his power
<03581>_,

he hath established
<03559> (8688)

the world
<08398>

by his wisdom
<02451>_,

and hath stretched out
<05186> (8804)

the heavens
<08064>

by his discretion
<08394>_.

10:13

When he uttereth
<05414> (8800)

his voice
<06963>_,

[there is] a multitude
<01995>

of waters
<04325>

in the heavens
<08064>_,

and he causeth the vapours
<05387>

to ascend
<05927> (8686)

from the ends
<07097>

of the earth
<0776>_;

he maketh
<06213> (8804)

lightnings
<01300>

with rain
<04306>_,

and bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)

the wind
<07307>

out of his treasures
<0214>_.

{multitude: or, noise} {with: or, for}

10:14

Every man
<0120>

is brutish
<01197> (8738)

in [his] knowledge
<01847>_:

every founder
<06884> (8802)

is confounded
<03001> (8689)

by the graven image
<06459>_:

for his molten image
<05262>

[is] falsehood
<08267>_,

and [there is] no breath
<07307>

in them. {brutish in his knowledge: or, more brutish than to know}

10:15

They [are] vanity
<01892>_,

[and] the work
<04639>

of errors
<08595>_:

in the time
<06256>

of their visitation
<06486>

they shall perish
<06> (8799)_.

10:16

The portion
<02506>

of Jacob
<03290>

[is] not like them: for he [is] the former
<03335> (8802)

of all [things]; and Israel
<03478>

[is] the rod
<07626>

of his inheritance
<05159>_:

The LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[is] his name
<08034>_.

10:17

Gather up
<0622> (8798)

thy wares
<03666>

out of the land
<0776>_,

O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of the fortress
<04692>_.

{inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}

10:18

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will sling
<07049> (8802)

out the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

at this once
<06471>_,

and will distress
<06887> (8689)

them, that they may find
<04672> (8799)

[it so].

10:19

Woe
<0188>

is me for my hurt
<07667>_!

my wound
<04347>

is grievous
<02470> (8737)_:

but I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Truly
<0389>

this [is] a grief
<02483>_,

and I must bear
<05375> (8799)

it.

10:20

My tabernacle
<0168>

is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,

and all my cords
<04340>

are broken
<05423> (8738)_:

my children
<01121>

are gone forth
<03318> (8804)

of me, and they [are] not: [there is] none to stretch forth
<05186> (8802)

my tent
<0168>

any more, and to set up
<06965> (8688)

my curtains
<03407>_.

10:21

For the pastors
<07462> (8802)

are become brutish
<01197> (8738)_,

and have not sought
<01875> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore they shall not prosper
<07919> (8689)_,

and all their flocks
<04830>

shall be scattered
<06327> (8738)_.

10:22

Behold, the noise
<06963>

of the bruit
<08052>

is come
<0935> (8802)_,

and a great
<01419>

commotion
<07494>

out of the north
<06828>

country
<0776>_,

to make
<07760> (8800)

the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

desolate
<08077>_,

[and] a den
<04583>

of dragons
<08577>_.

10:23

O LORD
<03068>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that the way
<01870>

of man
<0120>

[is] not in himself: [it is] not in man
<0376>

that walketh
<01980> (8802)

to direct
<03559> (8687)

his steps
<06806>_.

10:24

O LORD
<03068>_,

correct
<03256> (8761)

me, but with judgment
<04941>_;

not in thine anger
<0639>_,

lest thou bring me to nothing
<04591> (8686)_.

{bring...: Heb. diminish me}

10:25

Pour out
<08210> (8798)

thy fury
<02534>

upon the heathen
<01471>

that know
<03045> (8804)

thee not, and upon the families
<04940>

that call
<07121> (8804)

not on thy name
<08034>_:

for they have eaten up
<0398> (8804)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and devoured
<0398> (8804)

him, and consumed
<03615> (8762)

him, and have made his habitation
<05116>

desolate
<08074> (8689)_.

11:1

The word
<01697>

that came to Jeremiah
<03414>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

11:2

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the words
<01697>

of this covenant
<01285>_,

and speak
<01696> (8765)

unto the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_;

11:3

And say
<0559> (8804)

thou unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] the man
<0376>

that obeyeth
<08085> (8799)

not the words
<01697>

of this covenant
<01285>_,

11:4

Which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

your fathers
<01>

in the day
<03117>

[that] I brought them forth
<03318> (8687)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

from the iron
<01270>

furnace
<03564>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Obey
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

them, according to all which I command
<06680> (8762)

you: so shall ye be my people
<05971>_,

and I will be your God
<0430>_:

11:5

That I may perform
<06965> (8687)

the oath
<07621>

which I have sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto your fathers
<01>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

them a land
<0776>

flowing
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_,

as [it is] this day
<03117>_.

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

I, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

So be it
<0543>_,

O LORD
<03068>_.

{So...: Heb. Amen}

11:6

Then the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Proclaim
<07121> (8798)

all these words
<01697>

in the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and in the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the words
<01697>

of this covenant
<01285>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

them.

11:7

For I earnestly
<05749> (8687)

protested
<05749> (8689)

unto your fathers
<01>

in the day
<03117>

[that] I brought them up
<05927> (8687)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

[even] unto this day
<03117>_,

rising early
<07925> (8687)

and protesting
<05749> (8687)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Obey
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>_.

11:8

Yet they obeyed
<08085> (8804)

not, nor inclined
<05186> (8689)

their ear
<0241>_,

but walked
<03212> (8799)

every one
<0376>

in the imagination
<08307>

of their evil
<07451>

heart
<03820>_:

therefore I will bring
<0935> (8686)

upon them all the words
<01697>

of this covenant
<01285>_,

which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

[them] to do
<06213> (8800)_;

but they did
<06213> (8804)

[them] not. {imagination: or, stubbornness}

11:9

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, A conspiracy
<07195>

is found
<04672> (8738)

among the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and among the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

11:10

They are turned back
<07725> (8804)

to the iniquities
<05771>

of their forefathers
<07223> <01>_,

which refused
<03985> (8765)

to hear
<08085> (8800)

my words
<01697>_;

and they went
<01980> (8804)

after
<0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>

to serve
<05647> (8800)

them: the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

and the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

have broken
<06565> (8689)

my covenant
<01285>

which I made
<03772> (8804)

with their fathers
<01>_.

11:11

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)

evil
<07451>

upon them, which they shall not be able
<03201> (8799)

to escape
<03318> (8800)_;

and though they shall cry
<02199> (8804)

unto me, I will not hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto them. {to escape: Heb. to go forth of}

11:12

Then shall the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

and inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

go
<01980> (8804)_,

and cry
<02199> (8804)

unto the gods
<0430>

unto whom they offer incense
<06999> (8764)_:

but they shall not save
<03467> (8686)

them at all
<03467> (8687)

in the time
<06256>

of their trouble
<07451>_.

{trouble: Heb. evil}

11:13

For [according to] the number
<04557>

of thy cities
<05892>

were thy gods
<0430>_,

O Judah
<03063>_;

and [according to] the number
<04557>

of the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

have ye set up
<07760> (8804)

altars
<04196>

to [that] shameful thing
<01322>_,

[even] altars
<04196>

to burn incense
<06999> (8763)

unto Baal
<01168>_.

{shameful...: Heb. shame}

11:14

Therefore pray
<06419> (8691)

not thou for this people
<05971>_,

neither lift up
<05375> (8799)

a cry
<07440>

or prayer
<08605>

for them: for I will not hear
<08085> (8802)

[them] in the time
<06256>

that they cry
<07121> (8800)

unto me for their trouble
<07451>_.

{trouble: Heb. evil}

11:15

What hath my beloved
<03039>

to do in mine house
<01004>_,

[seeing] she hath wrought
<06213> (8800)

lewdness
<04209>

with many
<07227>_,

and the holy
<06944>

flesh
<01320>

is passed
<05674> (8799)

from thee? when thou doest evil
<07451>_,

then thou rejoicest
<05937> (8799)_.

{What...: Heb. What is to my beloved in my house} {when...: or, when thy evil is}

11:16

The LORD
<03068>

called
<07121> (8804)

thy name
<08034>_,

A green
<07488>

olive tree
<02132>_,

fair
<03303>_,

[and] of goodly
<08389>

fruit
<06529>_:

with the noise
<06963>

of a great
<01419>

tumult
<01999>

he hath kindled
<03341> (8689)

fire
<0784>

upon it, and the branches
<01808>

of it are broken
<07489> (8804)_.

11:17

For the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

that planted
<05193> (8802)

thee, hath pronounced
<01696> (8765)

evil
<07451>

against thee, for
<01558>

the evil
<07451>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

and of the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_,

which they have done
<06213> (8804)

against themselves to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)

in offering incense
<06999> (8763)

unto Baal
<01168>_.

11:18

And the LORD
<03068>

hath given me knowledge
<03045> (8799)

[of it], and I know
<03045> (8689)

[it]: then thou shewedst
<07200> (8689)

me their doings
<04611>_.

11:19

But I [was] like a lamb
<03532>

[or] an ox
<0441>

[that] is brought
<02986> (8714)

to the slaughter
<02873> (8800)_;

and I knew
<03045> (8804)

not that they had devised
<02803> (8804)

devices
<04284>

against me, [saying], Let us destroy
<07843> (8686)

the tree
<06086>

with the fruit
<03899>

thereof, and let us cut him off
<03772> (8799)

from the land
<0776>

of the living
<02416>_,

that his name
<08034>

may be no more remembered
<02142> (8735)_.

{the tree...: Heb. the stalk with his bread}

11:20

But, O LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

that judgest
<08199> (8802)

righteously
<06664>_,

that triest
<0974> (8802)

the reins
<03629>

and the heart
<03820>_,

let me see
<07200> (8799)

thy vengeance
<05360>

on them: for unto thee have I revealed
<01540> (8765)

my cause
<07379>_.

11:21

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of the men
<0582>

of Anathoth
<06068>_,

that seek
<01245> (8764)

thy life
<05315>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Prophesy
<05012> (8735)

not in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that thou die
<04191> (8799)

not by our hand
<03027>_:

11:22

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

Behold, I will punish
<06485> (8802)

them: the young men
<0970>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_;

their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

by famine
<07458>_:

{punish: Heb. visit upon}

11:23

And there shall be no remnant
<07611>

of them: for I will bring
<0935> (8686)

evil
<07451>

upon the men
<0582>

of Anathoth
<06068>_,

[even] the year
<08141>

of their visitation
<06486>_.
