Jeremiah 11:6-23

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>_.
