Jeremiah 42:1

42:1

Then all the captains
<08269>

of the forces
<02428>_,

and Johanan
<03110>

the son
<01121>

of Kareah
<07143>_,

and Jezaniah
<03153>

the son
<01121>

of Hoshaiah
<01955>_,

and all the people
<05971>

from the least
<06996>

even unto the greatest
<01419>_,

came near
<05066> (8799)_,

Jeremiah 10:1--11:23

10:1

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the word
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

speaketh
<01696> (8765)

unto you, O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_:

10:2

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Learn
<03925> (8799)

not the way
<01870>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

and be not dismayed
<02865> (8735)

at the signs
<0226>

of heaven
<08064>_;

for the heathen
<01471>

are dismayed
<02865> (8735)

at them
<01992>_.

10:3

For the customs
<02708>

of the people
<05971>

[are] vain
<01892>_:

for [one] cutteth
<03772> (8804)

a tree
<06086>

out of the forest
<03293>_,

the work
<04639>

of the hands
<03027>

of the workman
<02796>_,

with the axe
<04621>_.

{customs...: Heb. statutes, or, ordinances are vanity}

10:4

They deck
<03302> (8762)

it with silver
<03701>

and with gold
<02091>_;

they fasten
<02388> (8762)

it with nails
<04548>

and with hammers
<04717>_,

that it move
<06328> (8686)

not.

10:5

They [are] upright
<04749>

as the palm tree
<08560>_,

but speak
<01696> (8762)

not: they must needs
<05375> (8800)

be borne
<05375> (8735)_,

because they cannot go
<06805> (8799)_.

Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

of them; for they cannot do evil
<07489> (8686)_,

neither also [is it] in them to do good
<03190> (8687)_.

10:6

Forasmuch as [there is] none like unto thee, O LORD
<03068>_;

thou [art] great
<01419>_,

and thy name
<08034>

[is] great
<01419>

in might
<01369>_.

10:7

Who would not fear
<03372> (8799)

thee, O King
<04428>

of nations
<01471>_?

for to thee doth it appertain
<02969> (8804)_:

forasmuch as among all the wise
<02450>

[men] of the nations
<01471>_,

and in all their kingdoms
<04438>_,

[there is] none like unto thee. {to...: or, it liketh thee}

10:8

But they are altogether
<0259>

brutish
<01197> (8799)

and foolish
<03688> (8799)_:

the stock
<06086>

[is] a doctrine
<04148>

of vanities
<01892>_.

{altogether: Heb. in one, or, at once}

10:9

Silver
<03701>

spread into plates
<07554> (8794)

is brought
<0935> (8714)

from Tarshish
<08659>_,

and gold
<02091>

from Uphaz
<0210>_,

the work
<04639>

of the workman
<02796>_,

and of the hands
<03027>

of the founder
<06884> (8802)_:

blue
<08504>

and purple
<0713>

[is] their clothing
<03830>_:

they [are] all the work
<04639>

of cunning
<02450>

[men].

10:10

But the LORD
<03068>

[is] the true
<0571>

God
<0430>_,

he [is] the living
<02416>

God
<0430>_,

and an everlasting
<05769>

king
<04428>_:

at his wrath
<07110>

the earth
<0776>

shall tremble
<07493> (8799)_,

and the nations
<01471>

shall not be able to abide
<03557> (8686)

his indignation
<02195>_.

{true...: Heb. God of truth} {living God: Heb. living Gods} {everlasting...: Heb. king of eternity}

10:11

Thus
<01836>

shall ye say
<0560> (8748)

unto them, The gods
<0426>

that have not
<03809>

made
<05648> (8754)

the heavens
<08065>

and the earth
<0778>_,

[even] they shall perish
<07> (8748)

from the earth
<0772>_,

and from under
<08460>

these
<0429>

heavens
<08065>_.

10:12

He hath made
<06213> (8802)

the earth
<0776>

by his power
<03581>_,

he hath established
<03559> (8688)

the world
<08398>

by his wisdom
<02451>_,

and hath stretched out
<05186> (8804)

the heavens
<08064>

by his discretion
<08394>_.

10:13

When he uttereth
<05414> (8800)

his voice
<06963>_,

[there is] a multitude
<01995>

of waters
<04325>

in the heavens
<08064>_,

and he causeth the vapours
<05387>

to ascend
<05927> (8686)

from the ends
<07097>

of the earth
<0776>_;

he maketh
<06213> (8804)

lightnings
<01300>

with rain
<04306>_,

and bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)

the wind
<07307>

out of his treasures
<0214>_.

{multitude: or, noise} {with: or, for}

10:14

Every man
<0120>

is brutish
<01197> (8738)

in [his] knowledge
<01847>_:

every founder
<06884> (8802)

is confounded
<03001> (8689)

by the graven image
<06459>_:

for his molten image
<05262>

[is] falsehood
<08267>_,

and [there is] no breath
<07307>

in them. {brutish in his knowledge: or, more brutish than to know}

10:15

They [are] vanity
<01892>_,

[and] the work
<04639>

of errors
<08595>_:

in the time
<06256>

of their visitation
<06486>

they shall perish
<06> (8799)_.

10:16

The portion
<02506>

of Jacob
<03290>

[is] not like them: for he [is] the former
<03335> (8802)

of all [things]; and Israel
<03478>

[is] the rod
<07626>

of his inheritance
<05159>_:

The LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[is] his name
<08034>_.

10:17

Gather up
<0622> (8798)

thy wares
<03666>

out of the land
<0776>_,

O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of the fortress
<04692>_.

{inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}

10:18

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will sling
<07049> (8802)

out the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

at this once
<06471>_,

and will distress
<06887> (8689)

them, that they may find
<04672> (8799)

[it so].

10:19

Woe
<0188>

is me for my hurt
<07667>_!

my wound
<04347>

is grievous
<02470> (8737)_:

but I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Truly
<0389>

this [is] a grief
<02483>_,

and I must bear
<05375> (8799)

it.

10:20

My tabernacle
<0168>

is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,

and all my cords
<04340>

are broken
<05423> (8738)_:

my children
<01121>

are gone forth
<03318> (8804)

of me, and they [are] not: [there is] none to stretch forth
<05186> (8802)

my tent
<0168>

any more, and to set up
<06965> (8688)

my curtains
<03407>_.

10:21

For the pastors
<07462> (8802)

are become brutish
<01197> (8738)_,

and have not sought
<01875> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore they shall not prosper
<07919> (8689)_,

and all their flocks
<04830>

shall be scattered
<06327> (8738)_.

10:22

Behold, the noise
<06963>

of the bruit
<08052>

is come
<0935> (8802)_,

and a great
<01419>

commotion
<07494>

out of the north
<06828>

country
<0776>_,

to make
<07760> (8800)

the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

desolate
<08077>_,

[and] a den
<04583>

of dragons
<08577>_.

10:23

O LORD
<03068>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that the way
<01870>

of man
<0120>

[is] not in himself: [it is] not in man
<0376>

that walketh
<01980> (8802)

to direct
<03559> (8687)

his steps
<06806>_.

10:24

O LORD
<03068>_,

correct
<03256> (8761)

me, but with judgment
<04941>_;

not in thine anger
<0639>_,

lest thou bring me to nothing
<04591> (8686)_.

{bring...: Heb. diminish me}

10:25

Pour out
<08210> (8798)

thy fury
<02534>

upon the heathen
<01471>

that know
<03045> (8804)

thee not, and upon the families
<04940>

that call
<07121> (8804)

not on thy name
<08034>_:

for they have eaten up
<0398> (8804)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and devoured
<0398> (8804)

him, and consumed
<03615> (8762)

him, and have made his habitation
<05116>

desolate
<08074> (8689)_.

11:1

The word
<01697>

that came to Jeremiah
<03414>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

11:2

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the words
<01697>

of this covenant
<01285>_,

and speak
<01696> (8765)

unto the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_;

11:3

And say
<0559> (8804)

thou unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] the man
<0376>

that obeyeth
<08085> (8799)

not the words
<01697>

of this covenant
<01285>_,

11:4

Which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

your fathers
<01>

in the day
<03117>

[that] I brought them forth
<03318> (8687)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

from the iron
<01270>

furnace
<03564>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Obey
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

them, according to all which I command
<06680> (8762)

you: so shall ye be my people
<05971>_,

and I will be your God
<0430>_:

11:5

That I may perform
<06965> (8687)

the oath
<07621>

which I have sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto your fathers
<01>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

them a land
<0776>

flowing
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_,

as [it is] this day
<03117>_.

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

I, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

So be it
<0543>_,

O LORD
<03068>_.

{So...: Heb. Amen}

11:6

Then the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Proclaim
<07121> (8798)

all these words
<01697>

in the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and in the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the words
<01697>

of this covenant
<01285>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

them.

11:7

For I earnestly
<05749> (8687)

protested
<05749> (8689)

unto your fathers
<01>

in the day
<03117>

[that] I brought them up
<05927> (8687)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

[even] unto this day
<03117>_,

rising early
<07925> (8687)

and protesting
<05749> (8687)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Obey
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>_.

11:8

Yet they obeyed
<08085> (8804)

not, nor inclined
<05186> (8689)

their ear
<0241>_,

but walked
<03212> (8799)

every one
<0376>

in the imagination
<08307>

of their evil
<07451>

heart
<03820>_:

therefore I will bring
<0935> (8686)

upon them all the words
<01697>

of this covenant
<01285>_,

which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

[them] to do
<06213> (8800)_;

but they did
<06213> (8804)

[them] not. {imagination: or, stubbornness}

11:9

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, A conspiracy
<07195>

is found
<04672> (8738)

among the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and among the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

11:10

They are turned back
<07725> (8804)

to the iniquities
<05771>

of their forefathers
<07223> <01>_,

which refused
<03985> (8765)

to hear
<08085> (8800)

my words
<01697>_;

and they went
<01980> (8804)

after
<0310>

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>

to serve
<05647> (8800)

them: the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

and the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

have broken
<06565> (8689)

my covenant
<01285>

which I made
<03772> (8804)

with their fathers
<01>_.

11:11

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)

evil
<07451>

upon them, which they shall not be able
<03201> (8799)

to escape
<03318> (8800)_;

and though they shall cry
<02199> (8804)

unto me, I will not hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto them. {to escape: Heb. to go forth of}

11:12

Then shall the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

and inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

go
<01980> (8804)_,

and cry
<02199> (8804)

unto the gods
<0430>

unto whom they offer incense
<06999> (8764)_:

but they shall not save
<03467> (8686)

them at all
<03467> (8687)

in the time
<06256>

of their trouble
<07451>_.

{trouble: Heb. evil}

11:13

For [according to] the number
<04557>

of thy cities
<05892>

were thy gods
<0430>_,

O Judah
<03063>_;

and [according to] the number
<04557>

of the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

have ye set up
<07760> (8804)

altars
<04196>

to [that] shameful thing
<01322>_,

[even] altars
<04196>

to burn incense
<06999> (8763)

unto Baal
<01168>_.

{shameful...: Heb. shame}

11:14

Therefore pray
<06419> (8691)

not thou for this people
<05971>_,

neither lift up
<05375> (8799)

a cry
<07440>

or prayer
<08605>

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

[them] in the time
<06256>

that they cry
<07121> (8800)

unto me for their trouble
<07451>_.

{trouble: Heb. evil}

11:15

What hath my beloved
<03039>

to do in mine house
<01004>_,

[seeing] she hath wrought
<06213> (8800)

lewdness
<04209>

with many
<07227>_,

and the holy
<06944>

flesh
<01320>

is passed
<05674> (8799)

from thee? when thou doest evil
<07451>_,

then thou rejoicest
<05937> (8799)_.

{What...: Heb. What is to my beloved in my house} {when...: or, when thy evil is}

11:16

The LORD
<03068>

called
<07121> (8804)

thy name
<08034>_,

A green
<07488>

olive tree
<02132>_,

fair
<03303>_,

[and] of goodly
<08389>

fruit
<06529>_:

with the noise
<06963>

of a great
<01419>

tumult
<01999>

he hath kindled
<03341> (8689)

fire
<0784>

upon it, and the branches
<01808>

of it are broken
<07489> (8804)_.

11:17

For the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

that planted
<05193> (8802)

thee, hath pronounced
<01696> (8765)

evil
<07451>

against thee, for
<01558>

the evil
<07451>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

and of the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_,

which they have done
<06213> (8804)

against themselves to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)

in offering incense
<06999> (8763)

unto Baal
<01168>_.

11:18

And the LORD
<03068>

hath given me knowledge
<03045> (8799)

[of it], and I know
<03045> (8689)

[it]: then thou shewedst
<07200> (8689)

me their doings
<04611>_.

11:19

But I [was] like a lamb
<03532>

[or] an ox
<0441>

[that] is brought
<02986> (8714)

to the slaughter
<02873> (8800)_;

and I knew
<03045> (8804)

not that they had devised
<02803> (8804)

devices
<04284>

against me, [saying], Let us destroy
<07843> (8686)

the tree
<06086>

with the fruit
<03899>

thereof, and let us cut him off
<03772> (8799)

from the land

may be no more remembered

{the tree...: Heb. the stalk with his bread}

11:20

But, O LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

that judgest
<08199> (8802)

righteously
<06664>_,

that triest
<0974> (8802)

the reins
<03629>

and the heart
<03820>_,

let me see
<07200> (8799)

thy vengeance
<05360>

on them: for unto thee have I revealed
<01540> (8765)

my cause
<07379>_.

11:21

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of the men
<0582>

of Anathoth
<06068>_,

that seek
<01245> (8764)

thy life

Prophesy
<05012> (8735)

not in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that thou die
<04191> (8799)

not by our hand
<03027>_:

11:22

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

Behold, I will punish
<06485> (8802)

them: the young men
<0970>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_;

their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

by famine
<07458>_:

{punish: Heb. visit upon}

11:23

And there shall be no remnant
<07611>

of them: for I will bring
<0935> (8686)

evil
<07451>

upon the men
<0582>

of Anathoth
<06068>_,

[even] the year
<08141>

of their visitation
<06486>_.
