Jeremiah 17:1-20

17:1

The sin
<02403>

of Judah
<03063>

[is] written
<03789> (8803)

with a pen
<05842>

of iron
<01270>_,

[and] with the point
<06856>

of a diamond
<08068>_:

[it is] graven
<02790> (8803)

upon the table
<03871>

of their heart
<03820>_,

and upon the horns
<07161>

of your altars
<04196>_;

{point: Heb. nail}

17:2

Whilst their children
<01121>

remember
<02142> (8800)

their altars
<04196>

and their groves
<0842>

by the green
<07488>

trees
<06086>

upon the high
<01364>

hills
<01389>_.

17:3

O my mountain
<02042>

in the field
<07704>_,

I will give
<05414> (8799)

thy substance
<02428>

[and] all thy treasures
<0214>

to the spoil
<0957>_,

[and] thy high places
<01116>

for sin
<02403>_,

throughout all thy borders
<01366>_.

17:4

And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue
<08058> (8804)

from thine heritage
<05159>

that I gave
<05414> (8804)

thee; and I will cause thee to serve
<05647> (8689)

thine enemies
<0341> (8802)

in the land
<0776>

which thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

not: for ye have kindled
<06919> (8804)

a fire
<0784>

in mine anger
<0639>_,

[which] shall burn
<03344> (8714)

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

{thyself: Heb. in thyself}

17:5

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] the man
<01397>

that trusteth
<0982> (8799)

in man
<0120>_,

and maketh
<07760> (8804)

flesh
<01320>

his arm
<02220>_,

and whose heart
<03820>

departeth
<05493> (8799)

from the LORD
<03068>_.

17:6

For he shall be like the heath
<06199>

in the desert
<06160>_,

and shall not see
<07200> (8799)

when good
<02896>

cometh
<0935> (8799)_;

but shall inhabit
<07931> (8804)

the parched places
<02788>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

[in] a salt
<04420>

land
<0776>

and not inhabited
<03427> (8799)_.

17:7

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[is] the man
<01397>

that trusteth
<0982> (8799)

in the LORD
<03068>_,

and whose hope
<04009>

the LORD
<03068>

is.

17:8

For he shall be as a tree
<06086>

planted
<08362> (8803)

by the waters
<04325>_,

and [that] spreadeth out
<07971> (8762)

her roots
<08328>

by the river
<03105>_,

and shall not see
<07200> (8799)

when heat
<02527>

cometh
<0935> (8799)_,

but her leaf
<05929>

shall be green
<07488>_;

and shall not be careful
<01672> (8799)

in the year
<08141>

of drought
<01226>_,

neither shall cease
<04185> (8686)

from yielding
<06213> (8800)

fruit
<06529>_.

{drought: or, restraint}

17:9

The heart
<03820>

[is] deceitful
<06121>

above all [things], and desperately wicked
<0605> (8803)_:

who can know
<03045> (8799)

it?

17:10

I the LORD
<03068>

search
<02713> (8802)

the heart
<03820>_,

[I] try
<0974> (8802)

the reins
<03629>_,

even to give
<05414> (8800)

every man
<0376>

according to his ways
<01870>_,

[and] according to the fruit
<06529>

of his doings
<04611>_.

17:11

[As] the partridge
<07124>

sitteth
<01716> (8804)

[on eggs], and hatcheth
<03205> (8804)

[them] not; [so] he that getteth
<06213> (8802)

riches
<06239>_,

and not by right
<04941>_,

shall leave
<05800> (8799)

them in the midst
<02677>

of his days
<03117>_,

and at his end
<0319>

shall be a fool
<05036>_.

{sitteth...: or, gathereth young which she hath not brought forth}

17:12

A glorious
<03519>

high
<04791>

throne
<03678>

from the beginning
<07223>

[is] the place
<04725>

of our sanctuary
<04720>_.

17:13

O LORD
<03068>_,

the hope
<04723>

of Israel
<03478>_,

all that forsake
<05800> (8802)

thee shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,

[and] they that depart
<03249>

from me
<05493> (8803)

shall be written
<03789> (8735)

in the earth
<0776>_,

because they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the fountain
<04726>

of living
<02416>

waters
<04325>_.

17:14

Heal
<07495> (8798)

me, O LORD
<03068>_,

and I shall be healed
<07495> (8735)_;

save
<03467> (8685)

me, and I shall be saved
<03467> (8735)_:

for thou [art] my praise
<08416>_.

17:15

Behold, they say
<0559> (8802)

unto me, Where [is] the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

let it come
<0935> (8799)

now.

17:16

As for me, I have not hastened
<0213> (8804)

from [being] a pastor
<07462> (8802)

to follow
<0310>

thee: neither have I desired
<0183> (8694)

the woeful
<0605> (8803)

day
<03117>_;

thou knowest
<03045> (8804)_:

that which came out
<04161>

of my lips
<08193>

was [right] before
<05227>

thee
<06440>_.

{to...: Heb. after thee}

17:17

Be not a terror
<04288>

unto me: thou [art] my hope
<04268>

in the day
<03117>

of evil
<07451>_.

17:18

Let them be confounded
<0954> (8799)

that persecute
<07291> (8802)

me, but let not me be confounded
<0954> (8799)_:

let them be dismayed
<02865> (8735)_,

but let not me be dismayed
<02865> (8735)_:

bring
<0935> (8687)

upon them the day
<03117>

of evil
<07451>_,

and destroy
<07665> (8798)

them with double
<04932>

destruction
<07670>_.

{destroy...: Heb. break them with a double breach}

17:19

Thus said
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

unto me; Go
<01980> (8800)

and stand
<05975> (8804)

in the gate
<08179>

of the children
<01121>

of the people
<05971>_,

whereby the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

come in
<0935> (8799)_,

and by the which they go out
<03318> (8799)_,

and in all the gates
<08179>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_;

17:20

And say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

ye kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and all Judah
<03063>_,

and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

that enter in
<0935> (8802)

by these gates
<08179>_:
