Jeremiah 11:18--12:6

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}
