Jeremiah 12:1

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}

Jeremiah 5:1-31

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}

Jeremiah 20:1-18

20:1

Now Pashur
<06583>

the son
<01121>

of Immer
<0564>

the priest
<03548>_,

who [was] also chief
<06496>

governor
<05057>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

that Jeremiah
<03414>

prophesied
<05012> (8738)

these things
<01697>_.

20:2

Then Pashur
<06583>

smote
<05221> (8686)

Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

him in the stocks
<04115>

that [were] in the high
<05945>

gate
<08179>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

which [was] by the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

20:3

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

that Pashur
<06583>

brought forth
<03318> (8686)

Jeremiah
<03414>

out of the stocks
<04115>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Jeremiah
<03414>

unto him, The LORD
<03068>

hath not called
<07121> (8804)

thy name
<08034>

Pashur
<06583>_,

but Magormissabib
<04036>_.

{Magormissabib: that is, Fear round about}

20:4

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will make
<05414> (8802)

thee a terror
<04032>

to thyself, and to all thy friends
<0157> (8802)_:

and they shall fall
<05307> (8804)

by the sword
<02719>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and thine eyes
<05869>

shall behold
<07200> (8802)

[it]: and I will give
<05414> (8799)

all Judah
<03063>

into the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and he shall carry them captive
<01540> (8689)

into Babylon
<0894>_,

and shall slay
<05221> (8689)

them with the sword
<02719>_.

20:5

Moreover I will deliver
<05414> (8804)

all the strength
<02633>

of this city
<05892>_,

and all the labours
<03018>

thereof, and all the precious things
<03366>

thereof, and all the treasures
<0214>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

will I give
<05414> (8799)

into the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

which shall spoil
<0962> (8804)

them, and take
<03947> (8804)

them, and carry
<0935> (8689)

them to Babylon
<0894>_.

20:6

And thou, Pashur
<06583>_,

and all that dwell
<03427> (8802)

in thine house
<01004>

shall go
<03212> (8799)

into captivity
<07628>_:

and thou shalt come
<0935> (8799)

to Babylon
<0894>_,

and there thou shalt die
<04191> (8799)_,

and shalt be buried
<06912> (8735)

there, thou, and all thy friends
<0157> (8802)_,

to whom thou hast prophesied
<05012> (8738)

lies
<08267>_.

20:7

O LORD
<03068>_,

thou hast deceived
<06601> (8765)

me, and I was deceived
<06601> (8735)_:

thou art stronger
<02388> (8804)

than I, and hast prevailed
<03201> (8799)_:

I am in derision
<07814>

daily
<03117>_,

every one mocketh
<03932> (8802)

me. {was deceived: or, was enticed}

20:8

For since
<01767>

I spake
<01696> (8762)_,

I cried out
<02199> (8799)_,

I cried
<07121> (8799)

violence
<02555>

and spoil
<07701>_;

because the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

was made a reproach
<02781>

unto me, and a derision
<07047>_,

daily
<03117>_.

20:9

Then I said
<0559> (8804)_,

I will not make mention
<02142> (8799)

of him, nor speak
<01696> (8762)

any more in his name
<08034>_.

But [his word] was in mine heart
<03820>

as a burning
<01197> (8802)

fire
<0784>

shut up
<06113> (8803)

in my bones
<06106>_,

and I was weary
<03811> (8738)

with forbearing
<03557> (8771)_,

and I could
<03201> (8799)

not [stay].

20:10

For I heard
<08085> (8804)

the defaming
<01681>

of many
<07227>_,

fear
<04032>

on every side
<05439>_.

Report
<05046> (8685)_,

[say they], and we will report
<05046> (8686)

it. All my familiars
<0582> <07965>

watched
<08104> (8802)

for my halting
<06763> (8676) <06761>_,

[saying], Peradventure he will be enticed
<06601> (8792)_,

and we shall prevail
<03201> (8799)

against him, and we shall take
<03947> (8799)

our revenge
<05360>

on him. {All...: Heb. Every man of my peace}

20:11

But the LORD
<03068>

[is] with me as a mighty
<01368>

terrible one
<06184>_:

therefore my persecutors
<07291> (8802)

shall stumble
<03782> (8735)_,

and they shall not prevail
<03201> (8799)_:

they shall be greatly
<03966>

ashamed
<0954> (8804)_;

for they shall not prosper
<07919> (8689)_:

[their] everlasting
<05769>

confusion
<03639>

shall never be forgotten
<07911> (8735)_.

20:12

But, O LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

that triest
<0974> (8802)

the righteous
<06662>_,

[and] seest
<07200> (8802)

the reins
<03629>

and the heart
<03820>_,

let me see
<07200> (8799)

thy vengeance
<05360>

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

my cause
<07379>_.

20:13

Sing
<07891> (8798)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

praise
<01984> (8761)

ye the LORD
<03068>_:

for he hath delivered
<05337> (8689)

the soul
<05315>

of the poor
<034>

from the hand
<03027>

of evildoers
<07489> (8688)_.

20:14

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] the day
<03117>

wherein I was born
<03205> (8795)_:

let not the day
<03117>

wherein my mother
<0517>

bare
<03205> (8804)

me be blessed
<01288> (8803)_.

20:15

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] the man
<0376>

who brought tidings
<01319> (8765)

to my father
<01>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

A man
<02145>

child
<01121>

is born
<03205> (8795)

unto thee; making him very
<08055> (8763)

glad
<08055> (8765)_.

20:16

And let that man
<0376>

be as the cities
<05892>

which the LORD
<03068>

overthrew
<02015> (8804)_,

and repented
<05162> (8738)

not: and let him hear
<08085> (8804)

the cry
<02201>

in the morning
<01242>_,

and the shouting
<08643>

at noontide
<06256> <06672>_;

20:17

Because he slew
<04191> (8790)

me not from the womb
<07358>_;

or that my mother
<0517>

might have been my grave
<06913>_,

and her womb
<07358>

[to be] always
<05769>

great
<02030>

[with me].

20:18

Wherefore came I forth
<03318> (8804)

out of the womb
<07358>

to see
<07200> (8800)

labour
<05999>

and sorrow
<03015>_,

that my days
<03117>

should be consumed
<03615> (8799)

with shame
<01322>_?
