Jeremiah 2:10-28

2:10

For pass over
<05674> (8798)

the isles
<0339>

of Chittim
<03794>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)_;

and send
<07971> (8798)

unto Kedar
<06938>_,

and consider
<0995> (8708)

diligently
<03966>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)

if there be such a thing. {over: or, over to}

2:11

Hath a nation
<01471>

changed
<03235> (8689)

[their] gods
<0430>_,

which [are] yet no gods
<0430>_?

but my people
<05971>

have changed
<04171> (8689)

their glory
<03519>

for [that which] doth not profit
<03276> (8686)_.

2:12

Be astonished
<08074> (8798)_,

O ye heavens
<08064>_,

at this, and be horribly afraid
<08175> (8798)_,

be ye very
<03966>

desolate
<02717> (8798)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

2:13

For my people
<05971>

have committed
<06213> (8804)

two
<08147>

evils
<07451>_;

they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me the fountain
<04726>

of living
<02416>

waters
<04325>_,

[and] hewed them out
<02672> (8800)

cisterns
<0877>_,

broken
<07665> (8737)

cisterns
<0877>_,

that can hold
<03557> (8686)

no water
<04325>_.

2:14

[Is] Israel
<03478>

a servant
<05650>_?

[is] he a homeborn
<01004> <03211>

[slave]? why
<04069>

is he spoiled
<0957>_?

{spoiled: Heb. become a spoil?}

2:15

The young lions
<03715>

roared
<07580> (8799)

upon him, [and] yelled
<05414> (8804) <06963>_,

and they made
<07896> (8799)

his land
<0776>

waste
<08047>_:

his cities
<05892>

are burned
<03341> (8738)

without inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.

{yelled: Heb. gave out their voice}

2:16

Also the children
<01121>

of Noph
<05297>

and Tahapanes
<08471>

have broken
<07462> (8799)

the crown of thy head
<06936>_.

{have...: or, feed on thy crown}

2:17

Hast thou not procured
<06213> (8799)

this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken
<05800> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

when
<06256>

he led
<03212> (8688)

thee by the way
<01870>_?

2:18

And now what hast thou to do in the way
<01870>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

to drink
<08354> (8800)

the waters
<04325>

of Sihor
<07883>_?

or what hast thou to do in the way
<01870>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

to drink
<08354> (8800)

the waters
<04325>

of the river
<05104>_?

2:19

Thine own wickedness
<07451>

shall correct
<03256> (8762)

thee, and thy backslidings
<04878>

shall reprove
<03198> (8686)

thee: know
<03045> (8798)

therefore and see
<07200> (8798)

that [it is] an evil
<07451>

[thing] and bitter
<04751>_,

that thou hast forsaken
<05800> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and that my fear
<06345>

[is] not in thee, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

of hosts
<06635>_.

2:20

For of old time
<05769>

I have broken
<07665> (8804)

thy yoke
<05923>_,

[and] burst
<05423> (8765)

thy bands
<04147>_;

and thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not transgress
<05674> (8799) (8675) <05647> (8799)_;

when upon every high
<01364>

hill
<01389>

and under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>

thou wanderest
<06808> (8802)_,

playing the harlot
<02181> (8802)_.

{transgress: or, serve}

2:21

Yet I had planted
<05193> (8804)

thee a noble vine
<08321>_,

wholly a right
<0571>

seed
<02233>_:

how then art thou turned
<02015> (8738)

into the degenerate plant
<05494>

of a strange
<05237>

vine
<01612>

unto me?

2:22

For though thou wash
<03526> (8762)

thee with nitre
<05427>_,

and take thee much
<07235> (8686)

soap
<01287>_,

[yet] thine iniquity
<05771>

is marked
<03799> (8737)

before
<06440>

me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

2:23

How canst thou say
<0559> (8799)_,

I am not polluted
<02930> (8738)_,

I have not gone
<01980> (8804)

after
<0310>

Baalim
<01168>_?

see
<07200> (8798)

thy way
<01870>

in the valley
<01516>_,

know
<03045> (8798)

what thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_:

[thou art] a swift
<07031>

dromedary
<01072>

traversing
<08308> (8764)

her ways
<01870>_;

{thou art...: or, O swift dromedary}

2:24

A wild ass
<06501>

used
<03928>

to the wilderness
<04057>_,

[that] snuffeth up
<07602> (8804)

the wind
<07307>

at her pleasure
<0185> <05315>_;

in her occasion
<08385>

who can turn her away
<07725> (8686)_?

all they that seek
<01245> (8764)

her will not weary
<03286> (8799)

themselves; in her month
<02320>

they shall find
<04672> (8799)

her. {A wild...: or, O wild ass, etc} {used: Heb. taught} {her pleasure: Heb. the desire of her heart} {turn...: or, reverse it?}

2:25

Withhold
<04513> (8798)

thy foot
<07272>

from being unshod
<03182>_,

and thy throat
<01627>

from thirst
<06773>_:

but thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,

There is no hope
<02976> (8737)_:

no; for I have loved
<0157> (8804)

strangers
<02114> (8801)_,

and after
<0310>

them will I go
<03212> (8799)_.

{There...: or, Is the case desperate?}

2:26

As the thief
<01590>

is ashamed
<01322>

when he is found
<04672> (8735)_,

so is the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

ashamed
<03001> (8689)_;

they, their kings
<04428>_,

their princes
<08269>_,

and their priests
<03548>_,

and their prophets
<05030>_,

2:27

Saying
<0559> (8802)

to a stock
<06086>_,

Thou [art] my father
<01>_;

and to a stone
<068>_,

Thou hast brought me forth
<03205> (8804)_:

for they have turned
<06437> (8804)

[their] back
<06203>

unto me, and not [their] face
<06440>_:

but in the time
<06256>

of their trouble
<07451>

they will say
<0559> (8799)_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and save
<03467> (8685)

us. {brought...: or, begotten me} {their back: Heb. the hinder part of the neck}

2:28

But where [are] thy gods
<0430>

that thou hast made
<06213> (8804)

thee? let them arise
<06965> (8799)_,

if they can save
<03467> (8686)

thee in the time
<06256>

of thy trouble
<07451>_:

for [according to] the number
<04557>

of thy cities
<05892>

are thy gods
<0430>_,

O Judah
<03063>_.

{trouble: Heb. evil}
