Jeremiah 7:23-34

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>_.
