Jeremiah 11:1--13:27

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>_.

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>_.

13:1

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

unto me, Go
<01980> (8800)

and get
<07069> (8804)

thee a linen
<06593>

girdle
<0232>_,

and put
<07760> (8804)

it upon thy loins
<04975>_,

and put
<0935> (8686)

it not in water
<04325>_.

13:2

So I got
<07069> (8799)

a girdle
<0232>

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

[it] on my loins
<04975>_.

13:3

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me the second time
<08145>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

13:4

Take
<03947> (8798)

the girdle
<0232>

that thou hast got
<07069> (8804)_,

which [is] upon thy loins
<04975>_,

and arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go
<03212> (8798)

to Euphrates
<06578>_,

and hide
<02934> (8798)

it there in a hole
<05357>

of the rock
<05553>_.

13:5

So I went
<03212> (8799)_,

and hid
<02934> (8799)

it by Euphrates
<06578>_,

as the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

me.

13:6

And it came to pass after
<07093>

many
<07227>

days
<03117>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go
<03212> (8798)

to Euphrates
<06578>_,

and take
<03947> (8798)

the girdle
<0232>

from thence, which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee to hide
<02934> (8800)

there.

13:7

Then I went
<03212> (8799)

to Euphrates
<06578>_,

and digged
<02658> (8799)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

the girdle
<0232>

from the place
<04725>

where I had hid
<02934> (8804)

it: and, behold, the girdle
<0232>

was marred
<07843> (8738)_,

it was profitable
<06743> (8799)

for nothing.

13:8

Then the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

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

13:9

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

After this manner will I mar
<07843> (8686)

the pride
<01347>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and the great
<07227>

pride
<01347>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

13:10

This evil
<07451>

people
<05971>_,

which refuse
<03987>

to hear
<08085> (8800)

my words
<01697>_,

which walk
<01980> (8802)

in the imagination
<08307>

of their heart
<03820>_,

and walk
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

to serve
<05647> (8800)

them, and to worship
<07812> (8692)

them, shall even be as this girdle
<0232>_,

which is good
<06743> (8799)

for nothing. {imagination: or, stubbornness}

13:11

For as the girdle
<0232>

cleaveth
<01692> (8799)

to the loins
<04975>

of a man
<0376>_,

so have I caused to cleave
<01692> (8689)

unto me the whole house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

and the whole house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

that they might be unto me for a people
<05971>_,

and for a name
<08034>_,

and for a praise
<08416>_,

and for a glory
<08597>_:

but they would not hear
<08085> (8804)_.

13:12

Therefore thou shalt speak
<0559> (8804)

unto them this word
<01697>_;

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Every bottle
<05035>

shall be filled
<04390> (8735)

with wine
<03196>_:

and they shall say
<0559> (8804)

unto thee, Do we not certainly
<03045> (8800)

know
<03045> (8799)

that every bottle
<05035>

shall be filled
<04390> (8735)

with wine
<03196>_?

13:13

Then shalt thou say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will fill
<04390> (8764)

all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of this land
<0776>_,

even the kings
<04428>

that sit
<03427> (8802)

upon David's
<01732>

throne
<03678>_,

and the priests
<03548>_,

and the prophets
<05030>_,

and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

with drunkenness
<07943>_.

13:14

And I will dash
<05310> (8765)

them one
<0376>

against another
<0251>_,

even the fathers
<01>

and the sons
<01121>

together
<03162>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

I will not pity
<02550> (8799)_,

nor spare
<02347> (8799)_,

nor have mercy
<07355> (8762)_,

but destroy
<07843> (8687)

them. {one...: Heb. a man against his brother} {but...: Heb. from destroying them}

13:15

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye, and give ear
<0238> (8685)_;

be not proud
<01361> (8799)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

13:16

Give
<05414> (8798)

glory
<03519>

to the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

before he cause darkness
<02821> (8686)_,

and before your feet
<07272>

stumble
<05062> (8691)

upon the dark
<05399>

mountains
<02022>_,

and, while ye look
<06960> (8765)

for light
<0216>_,

he turn
<07760> (8804)

it into the shadow of death
<06757>_,

[and] make
<07896> (8798) (8675) <07896> (8799)

[it] gross darkness
<06205>_.

13:17

But if ye will not hear
<08085> (8799)

it, my soul
<05315>

shall weep
<01058> (8799)

in secret places
<04565>

for
<06440>

[your] pride
<01466>_;

and mine eye
<05869>

shall weep
<01830> (8799)

sore
<01830> (8800)_,

and run down
<03381> (8799)

with tears
<01832>_,

because the LORD'S
<03068>

flock
<05739>

is carried away captive
<07617> (8738)_.

13:18

Say
<0559> (8798)

unto the king
<04428>

and to the queen
<01377>_,

Humble
<08213> (8685)

yourselves, sit down
<03427> (8798)_:

for your principalities
<04761>

shall come down
<03381> (8804)_,

[even] the crown
<05850>

of your glory
<08597>_.

{principalities: or, head tires}

13:19

The cities
<05892>

of the south
<05045>

shall be shut up
<05462> (8795)_,

and none shall open
<06605> (8802)

[them]: Judah
<03063>

shall be carried away captive
<01540> (8717)

all of it, it shall be wholly
<07965>

carried away captive
<01540> (8717)_.

13:20

Lift up
<05375> (8798)

your eyes
<05869>_,

and behold
<07200> (8798)

them that come
<0935> (8802)

from the north
<06828>_:

where [is] the flock
<05739>

[that] was given
<05414> (8738)

thee, thy beautiful
<08597>

flock
<06629>_?

13:21

What wilt thou say
<0559> (8799)

when he shall punish
<06485> (8799)

thee? for thou hast taught
<03925> (8765)

them [to be] captains
<0441>_,

[and] as chief
<07218>

over thee: shall not sorrows
<02256>

take
<0270> (8799)

thee, as a woman
<0802>

in travail
<03205> (8800)_?

{punish: Heb visit upon}

13:22

And if thou say
<0559> (8799)

in thine heart
<03824>_,

Wherefore come
<07122> (8804)

these things upon me? For the greatness
<07230>

of thine iniquity
<05771>

are thy skirts
<07757>

discovered
<01540> (8738)_,

[and] thy heels
<06119>

made bare
<02554> (8738)_.

{made...: or, shall be violently taken away}

13:23

Can the Ethiopian
<03569>

change
<02015> (8799)

his skin
<05785>_,

or the leopard
<05246>

his spots
<02272>_?

[then] may
<03201> (8799)

ye also do good
<03190> (8687)_,

that are accustomed
<03928>

to do evil
<07489> (8687)_.

{accustomed: Heb. taught}

13:24

Therefore will I scatter
<06327> (8686)

them as the stubble
<07179>

that passeth away
<05674> (8802)

by the wind
<07307>

of the wilderness
<04057>_.

13:25

This [is] thy lot
<01486>_,

the portion
<04490>

of thy measures
<04055>

from me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

because thou hast forgotten
<07911> (8804)

me, and trusted
<0982> (8799)

in falsehood
<08267>_.

13:26

Therefore will I discover
<02834> (8804)

thy skirts
<07757>

upon thy face
<06440>_,

that thy shame
<07036>

may appear
<07200> (8738)_.

13:27

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

thine adulteries
<05004>_,

and thy neighings
<04684>_,

the lewdness
<02154>

of thy whoredom
<02184>_,

[and] thine abominations
<08251>

on the hills
<01389>

in the fields
<07704>_.

Woe
<0188>

unto thee, O Jerusalem
<03389>_!

wilt thou not be made clean
<02891> (8799)_?

when [shall it] once
<05750> <0310>

[be]? {when...: Heb. after when yet?}
