Jeremiah 25:1

25:1

The word
<01697>

that came to Jeremiah
<03414>

concerning all the people
<05971>

of Judah
<03063>

in the fourth
<07243>

year
<08141>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>

the son
<01121>

of Josiah
<02977>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

that [was] the first
<07224>

year
<08141>

of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_;

Jeremiah 6:1--7:34

6:1

O ye children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

gather yourselves to flee
<05756> (8685)

out of the midst
<07130>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and blow
<08628> (8798)

the trumpet
<07782>

in Tekoa
<08620>_,

and set up
<05375> (8798)

a sign
<04864>

of fire in Bethhaccerem
<01021>_:

for evil
<07451>

appeareth
<08259> (8738)

out of the north
<06828>_,

and great
<01419>

destruction
<07667>_.

6:2

I have likened
<01820> (8804)

the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>

to a comely
<05116>

and delicate
<06026> (8794)

[woman]. {comely: or, dwelling at home}

6:3

The shepherds
<07462> (8802)

with their flocks
<05739>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto her; they shall pitch
<08628> (8804)

[their] tents
<0168>

against her round about
<05439>_;

they shall feed
<07462> (8804)

every one
<0376>

in his place
<03027>_.

6:4

Prepare
<06942> (8761)

ye war
<04421>

against her; arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and let us go up
<05927> (8799)

at noon
<06672>_.

Woe
<0188>

unto us! for the day
<03117>

goeth away
<06437> (8804)_,

for the shadows
<06752>

of the evening
<06153>

are stretched out
<05186> (8735)_.

6:5

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and let us go
<05927> (8799)

by night
<03915>_,

and let us destroy
<07843> (8686)

her palaces
<0759>_.

6:6

For thus hath the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

Hew ye down
<03772> (8798)

trees
<06097>_,

and cast
<08210> (8798)

a mount
<05550>

against Jerusalem
<03389>_:

this [is] the city
<05892>

to be visited
<06485> (8717)_;

she [is] wholly oppression
<06233>

in the midst
<07130>

of her. {cast...: or, pour out the engine of shot}

6:7

As a fountain
<0953>

casteth out
<06979> (8687)

her waters
<04325>_,

so she casteth out
<06979> (8689)

her wickedness
<07451>_:

violence
<02555>

and spoil
<07701>

is heard
<08085> (8735)

in her; before me
<06440>

continually
<08548>

[is] grief
<02483>

and wounds
<04347>_.

6:8

Be thou instructed
<03256> (8734)_,

O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

lest my soul
<05315>

depart
<03363> (8799)

from thee; lest I make
<07760> (8799)

thee desolate
<08077>_,

a land
<0776>

not inhabited
<03427> (8738)_.

{depart: Heb. be loosed, or, disjointed}

6:9

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

They shall throughly
<05953> (8780)

glean
<05953> (8779)

the remnant
<07611>

of Israel
<03478>

as a vine
<01612>_:

turn back
<07725> (8685)

thine hand
<03027>

as a grapegatherer
<01219> (8802)

into the baskets
<05552>_.

6:10

To whom shall I speak
<01696> (8762)_,

and give warning
<05749> (8686)_,

that they may hear
<08085> (8799)_?

behold, their ear
<0241>

[is] uncircumcised
<06189>_,

and they cannot
<03201> (8799)

hearken
<07181> (8687)_:

behold, the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

is unto them a reproach
<02781>_;

they have no delight
<02654> (8799)

in it.

6:11

Therefore I am full
<04392>

of the fury
<02534>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

I am weary
<03811> (8738)

with holding in
<03557> (8687)_:

I will pour it out
<08210> (8800)

upon the children
<05768>

abroad
<02351>_,

and upon the assembly
<05475>

of young men
<0970>

together
<03162>_:

for even the husband
<0376>

with the wife
<0802>

shall be taken
<03920> (8735)_,

the aged
<02205>

with [him that is] full
<04390> (8804)

of days
<03117>_.

6:12

And their houses
<01004>

shall be turned
<05437> (8738)

unto others
<0312>_,

[with their] fields
<07704>

and wives
<0802>

together
<03162>_:

for I will stretch out
<05186> (8686)

my hand
<03027>

upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

6:13

For from the least
<06996>

of them even unto the greatest
<01419>

of them every one [is] given
<01214> (8802)

to covetousness
<01215>_;

and from the prophet
<05030>

even unto the priest
<03548>

every one dealeth
<06213> (8802)

falsely
<08267>_.

6:14

They have healed
<07495> (8762)

also the hurt
<07667>

[of the daughter
<01323> (8676)_]

of my people
<05971>

slightly
<07043> (8738)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Peace
<07965>_,

peace
<07965>_;

when [there is] no peace
<07965>_.

{hurt: Heb. bruise, or, breach}

6:15

Were they ashamed
<03001> (8689)

when they had committed
<06213> (8804)

abomination
<08441>_?

nay
<01571>_,

they were not at all
<0954> (8800)

ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,

neither
<01571>

could
<03045> (8804)

they blush
<03637> (8687)_:

therefore they shall fall
<05307> (8799)

among them that fall
<05307> (8802)_:

at the time
<06256>

[that] I visit
<06485> (8804)

them they shall be cast down
<03782> (8735)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

6:16

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Stand
<05975> (8798)

ye in the ways
<01870>_,

and see
<07200> (8799)_,

and ask
<07592> (8798)

for the old
<05769>

paths
<05410>_,

where [is] the good
<02896>

way
<01870>_,

and walk
<03212> (8799)

therein, and ye shall find
<04672> (8798)

rest
<04771>

for your souls
<05315>_.

But they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We will not walk
<03212> (8798)

[therein].

6:17

Also I set
<06965> (8689)

watchmen
<06822> (8802)

over you, [saying], Hearken
<07181> (8685)

to the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_.

But they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We will not hearken
<07181> (8686)_.

6:18

Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)_,

ye nations
<01471>_,

and know
<03045> (8798)_,

O congregation
<05712>_,

what [is] among them.

6:19

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

O earth
<0776>_:

behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)

evil
<07451>

upon this people
<05971>_,

[even] the fruit
<06529>

of their thoughts
<04284>_,

because they have not hearkened
<07181> (8689)

unto my words
<01697>_,

nor to my law
<08451>_,

but rejected
<03988> (8799)

it.

6:20

To what purpose cometh
<0935> (8799)

there to me incense
<03828>

from Sheba
<07614>_,

and the sweet
<02896>

cane
<07070>

from a far
<04801>

country
<0776>_?

your burnt offerings
<05930>

[are] not acceptable
<07522>_,

nor your sacrifices
<02077>

sweet
<06149> (8804)

unto me.

6:21

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will lay
<05414> (8802)

stumblingblocks
<04383>

before this people
<05971>_,

and the fathers
<01>

and the sons
<01121>

together
<03162>

shall fall
<03782> (8804)

upon them; the neighbour
<07934>

and his friend
<07453>

shall perish
<06> (8804)_.

6:22

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, a people
<05971>

cometh
<0935> (8802)

from the north
<06828>

country
<0776>_,

and a great
<01419>

nation
<01471>

shall be raised
<05782> (8735)

from the sides
<03411>

of the earth
<0776>_.

6:23

They shall lay hold
<02388> (8686)

on bow
<07198>

and spear
<03591>_;

they [are] cruel
<0394>_,

and have no mercy
<07355> (8762)_;

their voice
<06963>

roareth
<01993> (8799)

like the sea
<03220>_;

and they ride
<07392> (8799)

upon horses
<05483>_,

set in array
<06186> (8803)

as men
<0376>

for war
<04421>

against thee, O daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_.

6:24

We have heard
<08085> (8804)

the fame
<08089>

thereof: our hands
<03027>

wax feeble
<07503> (8804)_:

anguish
<06869>

hath taken hold
<02388> (8689)

of us, [and] pain
<02427>_,

as of a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_.

6:25

Go not forth
<03318> (8799)

into the field
<07704>_,

nor walk
<03212> (8799)

by the way
<01870>_;

for the sword
<02719>

of the enemy
<0341> (8802)

[and] fear
<04032>

[is] on every side
<05439>_.

6:26

O daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>_,

gird
<02296> (8798)

[thee] with sackcloth
<08242>_,

and wallow
<06428> (8690)

thyself in ashes
<0665>_:

make
<06213> (8798)

thee mourning
<060>_,

[as for] an only son
<03173>_,

most bitter
<08563>

lamentation
<04553>_:

for the spoiler
<07703> (8802)

shall suddenly
<06597>

come
<0935> (8799)

upon us.

6:27

I have set
<05414> (8804)

thee [for] a tower
<0969>

[and] a fortress
<04013>

among my people
<05971>_,

that thou mayest know
<03045> (8799)

and try
<0974> (8804)

their way
<01870>_.

6:28

They [are] all grievous
<05493> (8802)

revolters
<05637> (8802)_,

walking
<01980> (8802)

with slanders
<07400>_:

[they are] brass
<05178>

and iron
<01270>_;

they [are] all corrupters
<07843> (8688)_.

6:29

The bellows
<04647>

are burned
<02787> (8738)_,

the lead
<05777>

is consumed
<08552> (8804)

of the fire
<0800> <0784>_;

the founder
<06884> (8800)

melteth
<06884> (8804)

in vain
<07723>_:

for the wicked
<07451>

are not plucked away
<05423> (8738)_.

6:30

Reprobate
<03988> (8737)

silver
<03701>

shall [men] call
<07121> (8804)

them, because the LORD
<03068>

hath rejected
<03988> (8804)

them. {Reprobate...: or, Refuse silver}

7:1

The word
<01697>

that came to Jeremiah
<03414>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

7:2

Stand
<05975> (8798)

in the gate
<08179>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_,

and proclaim
<07121> (8804)

there this word
<01697>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

all [ye of] Judah
<03063>_,

that enter in
<0935> (8802)

at these gates
<08179>

to worship
<07812> (8692)

the LORD
<03068>_.

7:3

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Amend
<03190> (8685)

your ways
<01870>

and your doings
<04611>_,

and I will cause you to dwell
<07931> (8762)

in this place
<04725>_.

7:4

Trust
<0982> (8799)

ye not in lying
<08267>

words
<01697>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

The temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

The temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[are] these.

7:5

For if ye throughly
<03190> (8687)

amend
<03190> (8686)

your ways
<01870>

and your doings
<04611>_;

if ye throughly
<06213> (8800)

execute
<06213> (8799)

judgment
<04941>

between a man
<0376>

and his neighbour
<07453>_;

7:6

[If] ye oppress
<06231> (8799)

not the stranger
<01616>_,

the fatherless
<03490>_,

and the widow
<0490>_,

and shed
<08210> (8799)

not innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>

in this place
<04725>_,

neither walk
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>

to your hurt
<07451>_:

7:7

Then will I cause you to dwell
<07931> (8765)

in this place
<04725>_,

in the land
<0776>

that I gave
<05414> (8804)

to your fathers
<01>_,

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>

and ever
<05769>_.

7:8

Behold, ye trust
<0982> (8802)

in lying
<08267>

words
<01697>_,

that cannot profit
<03276> (8687)_.

7:9

Will ye steal
<01589> (8800)_,

murder
<07523> (8800)_,

and commit adultery
<05003> (8800)_,

and swear
<07650> (8736)

falsely
<08267>_,

and burn incense
<06999> (8763)

unto Baal
<01168>_,

and walk
<01980> (8800)

after
<0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>

whom ye know
<03045> (8804)

not;

7:10

And come
<0935> (8804)

and stand
<05975> (8804)

before
<06440>

me in this house
<01004>_,

which is called
<07121> (8738)

by my name
<08034>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

We are delivered
<05337> (8738)

to do
<06213> (8800)

all these abominations
<08441>_?

{which...: Heb. whereupon my name is called}

7:11

Is this house
<01004>_,

which is called
<07121> (8738)

by my name
<08034>_,

become a den
<04631>

of robbers
<06530>

in your eyes
<05869>_?

Behold, even I have seen
<07200> (8804)

[it], saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

7:12

But go
<03212> (8798)

ye now unto my place
<04725>

which [was] in Shiloh
<07887>_,

where I set
<07931> (8765)

my name
<08034>

at the first
<07223>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)

what I did
<06213> (8804)

to it for
<06440>

the wickedness
<07451>

of my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_.

7:13

And now, because ye have done
<06213> (8800)

all these works
<04639>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and I spake
<01696> (8762)

unto you, rising up early
<07925> (8687)

and speaking
<01696> (8763)_,

but ye heard
<08085> (8804)

not; and I called
<07121> (8799)

you, but ye answered
<06030> (8804)

not;

7:14

Therefore will I do
<06213> (8804)

unto [this] house
<01004>_,

which is called
<07121> (8738)

by my name
<08034>_,

wherein ye trust
<0982> (8802)_,

and unto the place
<04725>

which I gave
<05414> (8804)

to you and to your fathers
<01>_,

as I have done
<06213> (8804)

to Shiloh
<07887>_.

7:15

And I will cast you out
<07993> (8689)

of my sight
<06440>_,

as I have cast out
<07993> (8689)

all your brethren
<0251>_,

[even] the whole seed
<02233>

of Ephraim
<0669>_.

7:16

Therefore pray
<06419> (8691)

not thou for this people
<05971>_,

neither lift up
<05375> (8799)

cry
<07440>

nor prayer
<08605>

for them
<01157>_,

neither make intercession
<06293> (8799)

to me: for I will not hear
<08085> (8802)

thee.

7:17

Seest
<07200> (8802)

thou not what they do
<06213> (8802)

in the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

and in the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_?

7:18

The children
<01121>

gather
<03950> (8764)

wood
<06086>_,

and the fathers
<01>

kindle
<01197> (8764)

the fire
<0784>_,

and the women
<0802>

knead
<03888> (8802)

[their] dough
<01217>_,

to make
<06213> (8800)

cakes
<03561>

to the queen
<04446>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and to pour out
<05258> (8687)

drink offerings
<05262>

unto other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

that they may provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)_.

{queen...: or, frame, or, workmanship of heaven}

7:19

Do they provoke me to anger
<03707> (8688)_?

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

[do they] not [provoke] themselves to the confusion
<01322>

of their own faces
<06440>_?

7:20

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Behold, mine anger
<0639>

and my fury
<02534>

shall be poured out
<05413> (8737)

upon this place
<04725>_,

upon man
<0120>_,

and upon beast
<0929>_,

and upon the trees
<06086>

of the field
<07704>_,

and upon the fruit
<06529>

of the ground
<0127>_;

and it shall burn
<01197> (8804)_,

and shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)_.

7:21

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Put
<05595> (8798)

your burnt offerings
<05930>

unto your sacrifices
<02077>_,

and eat
<0398> (8798)

flesh
<01320>_.

7:22

For I spake
<01696> (8765)

not unto your fathers
<01>_,

nor commanded
<06680> (8765)

them in the day
<03117>

that I brought them out
<03318> (8687)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

concerning
<01697>

burnt offerings
<05930>

or sacrifices
<02077>_:

{concerning: Heb. concerning the matter of}

7:23

But this thing
<01697>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

I them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Obey
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>_,

and I will be your God
<0430>_,

and ye shall be my people
<05971>_:

and walk
<01980> (8804)

ye in all the ways
<01870>

that I have commanded
<06680> (8762)

you, that it may be well
<03190> (8799)

unto you.

7:24

But they hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not, nor inclined
<05186> (8689)

their ear
<0241>_,

but walked
<03212> (8799)

in the counsels
<04156>

[and] in the imagination
<08307>

of their evil
<07451>

heart
<03820>_,

and went backward
<0268>_,

and not forward
<06440>_.

{imagination: or, stubbornness} {went: Heb. were}

7:25

Since the day
<03117>

that your fathers
<01>

came forth out
<03318> (8804)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

unto this day
<03117>

I have even sent
<07971> (8799)

unto you all my servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_,

daily
<03117>

rising up early
<07925> (8687)

and sending
<07971> (8800)

[them]:

7:26

Yet they hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto me, nor inclined
<05186> (8689)

their ear
<0241>_,

but hardened
<07185> (8686)

their neck
<06203>_:

they did worse
<07489> (8689)

than their fathers
<01>_.

7:27

Therefore thou shalt speak
<01696> (8765)

all these words
<01697>

unto them; but they will not hearken
<08085> (8799)

to thee: thou shalt also call
<07121> (8804)

unto them; but they will not answer
<06030> (8799)

thee.

7:28

But thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, This [is] a nation
<01471>

that obeyeth
<08085> (8804)

not the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

nor receiveth
<03947> (8804)

correction
<04148>_:

truth
<0530>

is perished
<06> (8804)_,

and is cut off
<03772> (8738)

from their mouth
<06310>_.

{correction: or, instruction}

7:29

Cut off
<01494> (8798)

thine hair
<05145>_,

[O Jerusalem], and cast [it] away
<07993> (8685)_,

and take up
<05375> (8798)

a lamentation
<07015>

on high places
<08205>_;

for the LORD
<03068>

hath rejected
<03988> (8804)

and forsaken
<05203> (8799)

the generation
<01755>

of his wrath
<05678>_.

7:30

For the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

have done
<06213> (8804)

evil
<07451>

in my sight
<05869>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

they have set
<07760> (8804)

their abominations
<08251>

in the house
<01004>

which is called
<07121> (8738)

by my name
<08034>_,

to pollute
<02930> (8763)

it.

7:31

And they have built
<01129> (8804)

the high places
<01116>

of Tophet
<08612>_,

which [is] in the valley
<01516>

of the son
<01121>

of Hinnom
<02011>_,

to burn
<08313> (8800)

their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>

in the fire
<0784>_;

which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

[them] not, neither came
<05927> (8804)

it into my heart
<03820>_.

{came...: Heb. came it upon my heart}

7:32

Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that it shall no more be called
<0559> (8735)

Tophet
<08612>_,

nor the valley
<01516>

of the son
<01121>

of Hinnom
<02011>_,

but the valley
<01516>

of slaughter
<02028>_:

for they shall bury
<06912> (8804)

in Tophet
<08612>_,

till there be no
<0369>

place
<04725>_.

7:33

And the carcases
<05038>

of this people
<05971>

shall be meat
<03978>

for the fowls
<05775>

of the heaven
<08064>_,

and for the beasts
<0929>

of the earth
<0776>_;

and none shall fray [them] away
<02729> (8688)_.

7:34

Then will I cause to cease
<07673> (8689)

from the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and from the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

the voice
<06963>

of mirth
<08342>_,

and the voice
<06963>

of gladness
<08057>_,

the voice
<06963>

of the bridegroom
<02860>_,

and the voice
<06963>

of the bride
<03618>_:

for the land
<0776>

shall be desolate
<02723>_.
