Jeremiah 4:11-31

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>_.

4:19

My bowels
<04578>_,

my bowels
<04578>_!

I am pained
<02342> (8799) (8675) <03176> (8686)

at my very
<07023>

heart
<03820>_;

my heart
<03820>

maketh a noise
<01993> (8802)

in me; I cannot hold my peace
<02790> (8686)_,

because thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_,

O my soul
<05315>_,

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_,

the alarm
<08643>

of war
<04421>_.

{my very...: Heb. the walls of my heart}

4:20

Destruction
<07667>

upon destruction
<07667>

is cried
<07121> (8738)_;

for the whole land
<0776>

is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:

suddenly
<06597>

are my tents
<0168>

spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,

[and] my curtains
<03407>

in a moment
<07281>_.

4:21

How long shall I see
<07200> (8799)

the standard
<05251>_,

[and] hear
<08085> (8799)

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_?

4:22

For my people
<05971>

[is] foolish
<0191>_,

they have not known
<03045> (8804)

me; they [are] sottish
<05530>

children
<01121>_,

and they have none understanding
<0995> (8737)_:

they [are] wise
<02450>

to do evil
<07489> (8687)_,

but to do good
<03190> (8687)

they have no knowledge
<03045> (8804)_.

4:23

I beheld
<07200> (8804)

the earth
<0776>_,

and, lo, [it was] without form
<08414>_,

and void
<0922>_;

and the heavens
<08064>_,

and they [had] no light
<0216>_.

4:24

I beheld
<07200> (8804)

the mountains
<02022>_,

and, lo, they trembled
<07493> (8801)_,

and all the hills
<01389>

moved lightly
<07043> (8701)_.

4:25

I beheld
<07200> (8804)_,

and, lo, [there was] no man
<0120>_,

and all the birds
<05775>

of the heavens
<08064>

were fled
<05074> (8804)_.

4:26

I beheld
<07200> (8804)_,

and, lo, the fruitful place
<03759>

[was] a wilderness
<04057>_,

and all the cities
<05892>

thereof were broken down
<05422> (8738)

at the presence
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] by his fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>_.

4:27

For thus hath the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

The whole land
<0776>

shall be desolate
<08077>_;

yet will I not make
<06213> (8799)

a full end
<03617>_.

4:28

For this shall the earth
<0776>

mourn
<056> (8799)_,

and the heavens
<08064>

above
<04605>

be black
<06937> (8804)_:

because I have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it], I have purposed
<02161> (8804)

[it], and will not repent
<05162> (8738)_,

neither will I turn back
<07725> (8799)

from it.

4:29

The whole city
<05892>

shall flee
<01272> (8802)

for the noise
<06963>

of the horsemen
<06571>

and bowmen
<07198> <07411> (8802)_;

they shall go
<0935> (8804)

into thickets
<05645>_,

and climb up
<05927> (8804)

upon the rocks
<03710>_:

every city
<05892>

[shall be] forsaken
<05800> (8803)_,

and not a man
<0376>

dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein
<02004>_.

4:30

And [when] thou [art] spoiled
<07703> (8803)_,

what wilt thou do
<06213> (8799)_?

Though thou clothest
<03847> (8799)

thyself with crimson
<08144>_,

though thou deckest
<05710> (8799)

thee with ornaments
<05716>

of gold
<02091>_,

though thou rentest
<07167> (8799)

thy face
<05869>

with painting
<06320>_,

in vain
<07723>

shalt thou make thyself fair
<03302> (8691)_;

[thy] lovers
<05689> (8802)

will despise
<03988> (8804)

thee, they will seek
<01245> (8762)

thy life
<05315>_.

{face: Heb. eyes}

4:31

For I have heard
<08085> (8804)

a voice
<06963>

as of a woman in travail
<02470> (8802)_,

[and] the anguish
<06869>

as of her that bringeth forth her first child
<01069> (8688)_,

the voice
<06963>

of the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_,

[that] bewaileth
<03306> (8691)

herself, [that] spreadeth
<06566> (8762)

her hands
<03709>_,

[saying], Woe
<0188>

[is] me now! for my soul
<05315>

is wearied
<05888> (8804)

because of murderers
<02026> (8802)_.
