Jeremiah 11:18--12:17

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>_.

12:1

Righteous
<06662>

[art] thou, O LORD
<03068>_,

when I plead
<07378> (8799)

with thee: yet let me talk
<01696> (8762)

with thee of [thy] judgments
<04941>_:

Wherefore doth the way
<01870>

of the wicked
<07563>

prosper
<06743> (8804)_?

[wherefore] are all they happy
<07951> (8804)

that deal very
<0899>

treacherously
<0898> (8802)_?

{talk...: or, reason the case with thee}

12:2

Thou hast planted
<05193> (8804)

them, yea, they have taken root
<08327> (8776)_:

they grow
<03212> (8799)_,

yea, they bring forth
<06213> (8804)

fruit
<06529>_:

thou [art] near
<07138>

in their mouth
<06310>_,

and far from
<07350>

their reins
<03629>_.

{they grow: Heb. they go on}

12:3

But thou, O LORD
<03068>_,

knowest
<03045> (8804)

me: thou hast seen
<07200> (8799)

me, and tried
<0974> (8804)

mine heart
<03820>

toward thee: pull them out
<05423> (8685)

like sheep
<06629>

for the slaughter
<02878>_,

and prepare
<06942> (8685)

them for the day
<03117>

of slaughter
<02028>_.

{toward...: Heb. with thee}

12:4

How long shall the land
<0776>

mourn
<056> (8799)_,

and the herbs
<06212>

of every field
<07704>

wither
<03001> (8799)_,

for the wickedness
<07451>

of them that dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein? the beasts
<0929>

are consumed
<05595> (8804)_,

and the birds
<05775>_;

because they said
<0559> (8804)_,

He shall not see
<07200> (8799)

our last end
<0319>_.

12:5

If thou hast run
<07323> (8804)

with the footmen
<07273>_,

and they have wearied
<03811> (8686)

thee, then how canst thou contend
<08474> (8807)

with horses
<05483>_?

and [if] in the land
<0776>

of peace
<07965>_,

[wherein] thou trustedst
<0982> (8802)_,

[they wearied thee], then how wilt thou do
<06213> (8799)

in the swelling
<01347>

of Jordan
<03383>_?

12:6

For even thy brethren
<0251>_,

and the house
<01004>

of thy father
<01>_,

even they have dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)

with thee; yea, they have called
<07121> (8804)

a multitude
<04392>

after
<0310>

thee: believe
<0539> (8686)

them not, though they speak
<01696> (8762)

fair words
<02896>

unto thee. {they have called...: or, they cried after thee fully} {fair...: Heb. good things}

12:7

I have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

mine house
<01004>_,

I have left
<05203> (8804)

mine heritage
<05159>_;

I have given
<05414> (8804)

the dearly beloved
<03033>

of my soul
<05315>

into the hand
<03709>

of her enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

{the dearly...: Heb. the love}

12:8

Mine heritage
<05159>

is unto me as a lion
<0738>

in the forest
<03293>_;

it crieth out
<05414> (8804) <06963>

against me: therefore have I hated
<08130> (8804)

it. {crieth...: or, yelleth: Heb. giveth out his voice}

12:9

Mine heritage
<05159>

[is] unto me [as] a speckled
<06641>

bird
<05861>_,

the birds
<05861>

round about
<05439>

[are] against her; come
<03212> (8798)

ye, assemble
<0622> (8798)

all the beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>_,

come
<0857> (8685)

to devour
<0402>_.

{speckled: or, taloned} {come to: or, cause them to come to}

12:10

Many
<07227>

pastors
<07462> (8802)

have destroyed
<07843> (8765)

my vineyard
<03754>_,

they have trodden
<0947> (0)

my portion
<02513>

under foot
<0947> (8790)_,

they have made
<05414> (8804)

my pleasant
<02532>

portion
<02513>

a desolate
<08077>

wilderness
<04057>_.

{pleasant...: Heb. portion of desire}

12:11

They have made
<07760> (8804)

it desolate
<08076>_,

[and being] desolate
<08077>

it mourneth
<056> (8804)

unto me; the whole land
<0776>

is made desolate
<08074> (8738)_,

because no man
<0376>

layeth
<07760> (8802)

[it] to heart
<03820>_.

12:12

The spoilers
<07703> (8802)

are come
<0935> (8804)

upon all high places
<08205>

through the wilderness
<04057>_:

for the sword
<02719>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall devour
<0398> (8802)

from the [one] end
<07097>

of the land
<0776>

even to the [other] end
<07097>

of the land
<0776>_:

no flesh
<01320>

shall have peace
<07965>_.

12:13

They have sown
<02232> (8804)

wheat
<02406>_,

but shall reap
<07114> (8804)

thorns
<06975>_:

they have put themselves to pain
<02470> (8738)_,

[but] shall not profit
<03276> (8686)_:

and they shall be ashamed
<0954> (8804)

of your revenues
<08393>

because of the fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{they shall: or, ye shall}

12:14

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

against all mine evil
<07451>

neighbours
<07934>_,

that touch
<05060> (8802)

the inheritance
<05159>

which I have caused my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>

to inherit
<05157> (8689)_;

Behold, I will pluck them out
<05428> (8802)

of their land
<0127>_,

and pluck out
<05428> (8799)

the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

from among
<08432>

them.

12:15

And it shall come to pass, after
<0310>

that I have plucked them out
<05428> (8800)

I will return
<07725> (8799)_,

and have compassion
<07355> (8765)

on them, and will bring them again
<07725> (8689)_,

every man
<0376>

to his heritage
<05159>_,

and every man
<0376>

to his land
<0776>_.

12:16

And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently
<03925> (8800)

learn
<03925> (8799)

the ways
<01870>

of my people
<05971>_,

to swear
<07650> (8736)

by my name
<08034>_,

The LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_;

as they taught
<03925> (8765)

my people
<05971>

to swear
<07650> (8736)

by Baal
<01168>_;

then shall they be built
<01129> (8738)

in the midst
<08432>

of my people
<05971>_.

12:17

But if they will not obey
<08085> (8799)_,

I will utterly
<05428> (8800)

pluck up
<05428> (8804)

and destroy
<06> (8763)

that nation
<01471>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.
