Jeremiah 2:17-23

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}

Jeremiah 2:29-37

2:29

Wherefore will ye plead
<07378> (8799)

with me? ye all have transgressed
<06586> (8804)

against me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

2:30

In vain
<07723>

have I smitten
<05221> (8689)

your children
<01121>_;

they received
<03947> (8804)

no correction
<04148>_:

your own sword
<02719>

hath devoured
<0398> (8804)

your prophets
<05030>_,

like a destroying
<07843> (8688)

lion
<0738>_.

2:31

O generation
<01755>_,

see
<07200> (8798)

ye the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

Have I been a wilderness
<04057>

unto Israel
<03478>_?

a land
<0776>

of darkness
<03991>_?

wherefore say
<0559> (8804)

my people
<05971>_,

We are lords
<07300> (8804)_;

we will come
<0935> (8799)

no more unto thee? {We are...: Heb. We have dominion}

2:32

Can a maid
<01330>

forget
<07911> (8799)

her ornaments
<05716>_,

[or] a bride
<03618>

her attire
<07196>_?

yet my people
<05971>

have forgotten
<07911> (8804)

me days
<03117>

without number
<04557>_.

2:33

Why trimmest
<03190> (8686)

thou thy way
<01870>

to seek
<01245> (8763)

love
<0160>_?

therefore hast thou also taught
<03925> (8765)

the wicked ones
<07451>

thy ways
<01870>_.

2:34

Also in thy skirts
<03671>

is found
<04672> (8738)

the blood
<01818>

of the souls
<05315>

of the poor
<034>

innocents
<05355>_:

I have not found
<04672> (8804)

it by secret search
<04290>_,

but upon all these. {secret...: Heb. digging}

2:35

Yet thou sayest
<0559> (8799)_,

Because I am innocent
<05352> (8738)_,

surely his anger
<0639>

shall turn
<07725> (8804)

from me. Behold, I will plead
<08199> (8737)

with thee, because thou sayest
<0559> (8800)_,

I have not sinned
<02398> (8804)_.

2:36

Why gaddest thou about
<0235> (8799)

so much
<03966>

to change
<08138> (8763)

thy way
<01870>_?

thou also shalt be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

of Egypt
<04714>_,

as thou wast ashamed
<0954> (8804)

of Assyria
<0804>_.

2:37

Yea, thou shalt go forth
<03318> (8799)

from him, and thine hands
<03027>

upon thine head
<07218>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath rejected
<03988> (8804)

thy confidences
<04009>_,

and thou shalt not prosper
<06743> (8686)

in them.
