Jeremiah 6:1-14

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}
