Jeremiah 7:1-34

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>_.
