Jeremiah 4:1-18

4:1

If thou wilt return
<07725> (8799)_,

O Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

return
<07725> (8799)

unto me: and if thou wilt put away
<05493> (8686)

thine abominations
<08251>

out of my sight
<06440>_,

then shalt thou not remove
<05110> (8799)_.

4:2

And thou shalt swear
<07650> (8738)_,

The LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

in truth
<0571>_,

in judgment
<04941>_,

and in righteousness
<06666>_;

and the nations
<01471>

shall bless
<01288> (8694)

themselves in him, and in him shall they glory
<01984> (8691)_.

4:3

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

to the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

Break up
<05214> (8798)

your fallow ground
<05215>_,

and sow
<02232> (8799)

not among thorns
<06975>_.

4:4

Circumcise
<04135> (8734)

yourselves to the LORD
<03068>_,

and take away
<05493> (8685)

the foreskins
<06190>

of your heart
<03824>_,

ye men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

and inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_:

lest my fury
<02534>

come forth
<03318> (8799)

like fire
<0784>_,

and burn
<01197> (8804)

that none can quench
<03518> (8764)

[it], because
<06440>

of the evil
<07455>

of your doings
<04611>_.

4:5

Declare
<05046> (8685)

ye in Judah
<03063>_,

and publish
<08085> (8685)

in Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and say
<0559> (8798)_,

Blow
<08628> (8798)

ye the trumpet
<07782>

in the land
<0776>_:

cry
<07121> (8798)_,

gather together
<04390> (8761)_,

and say
<0559> (8798)_,

Assemble
<0622> (8734)

yourselves, and let us go
<0935> (8799)

into the defenced
<04013>

cities
<05892>_.

4:6

Set up
<05375> (8798)

the standard
<05251>

toward Zion
<06726>_:

retire
<05756> (8685)_,

stay
<05975> (8799)

not: for I will bring
<0935> (8688)

evil
<07451>

from the north
<06828>_,

and a great
<01419>

destruction
<07667>_.

{retire: or, strengthen} {destruction: Heb. breaking}

4:7

The lion
<0738>

is come up
<05927> (8804)

from his thicket
<05441>_,

and the destroyer
<07843> (8688)

of the Gentiles
<01471>

is on his way
<05265> (8804)_;

he is gone forth
<03318> (8804)

from his place
<04725>

to make
<07760> (8800)

thy land
<0776>

desolate
<08047>_;

[and] thy cities
<05892>

shall be laid waste
<05327> (8799)_,

without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.

4:8

For this gird
<02296> (8798)

you with sackcloth
<08242>_,

lament
<05594> (8798)

and howl
<03213> (8685)_:

for the fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

is not turned back
<07725> (8804)

from us.

4:9

And it shall come to pass at that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[that] the heart
<03820>

of the king
<04428>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_,

and the heart
<03820>

of the princes
<08269>_;

and the priests
<03548>

shall be astonished
<08074> (8738)_,

and the prophets
<05030>

shall wonder
<08539> (8799)_.

4:10

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, Ah
<0162>_,

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_!

surely
<0403>

thou hast greatly
<05377> (8687)

deceived
<05377> (8689)

this people
<05971>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye shall have peace
<07965>_;

whereas the sword
<02719>

reacheth
<05060> (8804)

unto the soul
<05315>_.

4:11

At that time
<06256>

shall it be said
<0559> (8735)

to this people
<05971>

and to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

A dry
<06703>

wind
<07307>

of the high places
<08205>

in the wilderness
<04057>

toward
<01870>

the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>_,

not to fan
<02219> (8800)_,

nor to cleanse
<01305> (8687)_,

4:12

[Even] a full
<04392>

wind
<07307>

from those [places] shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto me: now also will I give
<01696> (8762)

sentence
<04941>

against them. {a full...: or, a fuller wind than those} {give...: Heb. utter judgments}

4:13

Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)

as clouds
<06051>_,

and his chariots
<04818>

[shall be] as a whirlwind
<05492>_:

his horses
<05483>

are swifter
<07043> (8804)

than eagles
<05404>_.

Woe
<0188>

unto us! for we are spoiled
<07703> (8795)_.

4:14

O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

wash
<03526> (8761)

thine heart
<03820>

from wickedness
<07451>_,

that thou mayest be saved
<03467> (8735)_.

How long shall thy vain
<0205>

thoughts
<04284>

lodge
<03885> (8686)

within
<07130>

thee?

4:15

For a voice
<06963>

declareth
<05046> (8688)

from Dan
<01835>_,

and publisheth
<08085> (8688)

affliction
<0205>

from mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_.

4:16

Make ye mention
<02142> (8685)

to the nations
<01471>_;

behold, publish
<08085> (8685)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

[that] watchers
<05341> (8802)

come
<0935> (8802)

from a far
<04801>

country
<0776>_,

and give out
<05414> (8799)

their voice
<06963>

against the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_.

4:17

As keepers
<08104> (8802)

of a field
<07704>_,

are they against her round about
<05439>_;

because she hath been rebellious
<04784> (8804)

against me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

4:18

Thy way
<01870>

and thy doings
<04611>

have procured
<06213> (8804)

these [things] unto thee; this [is] thy wickedness
<07451>_,

because it is bitter
<04751>_,

because it reacheth
<05060> (8804)

unto thine heart
<03820>_.
