: Jeremiah 1

 : 01 .  The words <1697 dabar > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the son <1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah > ,  of the priests <3548 kohen > that  [ were ]  in Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > in the land <0776 >erets > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn > :

 : 02 To whom <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > in the days <3117 yowm > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Amon <0526 >Amown > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  in the thirteenth year <8141 shaneh > of his reign <4427 malak > .

 : 03 It came <1961 hayah > also in the days <3117 yowm > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  unto the end <8537 tom > of the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > of Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  unto the carrying <1540 galah > away of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > captive <1540 galah > in the fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > month <2320 chodesh > .

 : 04 .  Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 05 Before <2962 terem > I formed <3335 yatsar > thee in the belly <0990 beten > I knew <3045 yada< > thee ;  and before <2962 terem > thou camest <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the womb <7358 rechem > I sanctified <6942 qadash > thee ,   [ and ]  I ordained <5414 nathan > thee a prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto the nations <1471 gowy > .

 : 06 Then said <0559 >amar > I ,  Ah <0162 >ahahh > ,  Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > !  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I cannot <3808 lo> > speak <1696 dabar > : for I  [ am ]  a child <5288 na<ar > .

 : 07 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Say <0559 >amar > not ,  I  [ am ]  a child <5288 na<ar > : for thou shalt go <3212 yalak > to all <3605 kol > that I shall send <7971 shalach > thee ,  and whatsoever I command <6680 tsavah > thee thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > .

 : 08 Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of their faces <6440 paniym > : for I  [ am ]  with thee to deliver <5337 natsal > thee ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 09 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > his hand <3027 yad > ,  and touched <5060 naga< > my mouth <6310 peh > .  And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I have put <5414 nathan > my words <1697 dabar > in thy mouth <6310 peh > .

 : 10 See <7200 ra>ah > ,  I have this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > set <6485 paqad > thee over <5921 <al > the nations <1471 gowy > and over <5921 <al > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > ,  to root <5428 nathash > out ,  and to pull <5422 nathats > down ,  and to destroy <6> ,  and to throw <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > ,  to build <1129 banah > ,  and to plant <5193 nata< > .

 : 11 .  Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > ,  what <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou ?  And I said <0559 >amar > ,  I see <7200 ra>ah > a rod <4731 maqqel > of an almond <8247 shaqed > tree .

 : 12 Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me ,  Thou hast well <3190 yatab > seen <7200 ra>ah > : for I will hasten <8245 shaqad > my word <1697 dabar > to perform <6213 <asah > it .

 : 13 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me the second <8145 sheniy > time ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou ?  And I said <0559 >amar > ,  I see <7200 ra>ah > a seething <5301 naphach > pot <5518 ciyr > ;  and the face <6440 paniym > thereof  [ is ]  toward <6440 paniym > the north <6828 tsaphown > .

 : 14 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Out of the north <6828 tsaphown > an evil <7451 ra< > shall break <6605 pathach > forth upon all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets > .

 : 15 For ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  I will call <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of the north <6828 tsaphown > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  and they shall come <0935 bow> > ,  and they shall set <5414 nathan > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > his throne <3678 kicce> > at the entering <6607 pethach > of the gates <8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the walls <2346 chowmah > thereof round <5439 cabiyb > about ,  and against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

 : 16 And I will utter <1696 dabar > my judgments <4941 mishpat > against <5921 <al > them touching <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > their wickedness <7451 ra< > ,  who have forsaken <5800 <azab > me ,  and have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  and worshipped <7812 shachah > the works <4639 ma<aseh > of their own <0249 >ezrach > hands <3027 yad > .

 : 17 Thou therefore gird <2296 chagar > up thy loins <4975 mothen > ,  and arise <6965 quwm > ,  and speak <1696 dabar > unto them all <3605 kol > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee : be not dismayed <2865 chathath > at their faces <6440 paniym > ,  lest <6435 pen > I confound <2865 chathath > thee before <6440 paniym > them .

 : 18 For ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I have made <5414 nathan > thee this day <3117 yowm > a defenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr > ,  and an iron <1270 barzel > pillar <5982 <ammuwd > ,  and brasen <5178 n@chosheth > walls <2346 chowmah > against <5921 <al > the whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > ,  against the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  against the princes <8269 sar > thereof ,  against the priests <3548 kohen > thereof ,  and against the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets > .

 : 19 And they shall fight <3898 lacham > against <0413 >el > thee ;  but they shall not prevail <3201 yakol > against thee ;  for I  [ am ]  with thee ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  to deliver <5337 natsal > thee .

 : Jeremiah 2

 : 01 .  Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 02 Go <1980 halak > and cry <7121 qara> > in the ears <0241 >ozen > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  I remember <2142 zakar > thee ,  the kindness <2617 checed > of thy youth <5271 na<uwr > ,  the love <0160 >ahabah > of thine espousals <3623 k@luwlah > ,  when thou wentest <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > me in the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  in a land <0776 >erets >  [ that was ]  not sown <2232 zara< > .

 : 03 Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ was ]  holiness <6944 qodesh > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ and ]  the firstfruits <7225 re>shiyth > of his increase <8393 t@buw>ah > : all <3605 kol > that devour <0398 >akal > him shall offend <0816 >asham > ;  evil <7451 ra< > shall come <0935 bow> > upon them ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 04 Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  O house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  and all <3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > :

 : 05 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  What <4100 mah > iniquity <5766 <evel > have your fathers <1> found <4672 matsa> > in me ,  that they are gone far <7368 rachaq > from me ,  and have walked <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > vanity <1892 hebel > ,  and are become <1891 habal > vain <1891 habal > ?

 : 06 Neither <3808 lo> > said <0559 >amar > they ,  Where <0346 >ayeh >  [ is ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that brought <5927 <alah > us up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  that led <3212 yalak > us through the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  through a land <0776 >erets > of deserts <6160 <arabah > and of pits <7745 shuwchah > ,  through a land <0776 >erets > of drought <6723 tsiyah > ,  and of the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth > ,  through a land <0776 >erets > that no <3808 lo> > man <0376 >iysh > passed <5674 <abar > through ,  and where <8033 sham > no <3808 lo> > man <0120 >adam > dwelt <3427 yashab > ?

 : 07 And I brought <0935 bow> > you into <0413 >el > a plentiful <3759 karmel > country <0776 >erets > ,  to eat <0398 >akal > the fruit <6529 p@riy > thereof and the goodness <2898 tuwb > thereof ;  but when ye entered <0935 bow> > ,  ye defiled <2930 tame> > my land <0776 >erets > ,  and made <7760 suwm > mine heritage <5159 nachalah > an abomination <8441 tow<ebah > .

 : 08 The priests <3548 kohen > said <0559 >amar > not ,  Where <0346 >ayeh >  [ is ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ?  and they that handle <8610 taphas > the law <8451 towrah > knew <3045 yada< > me not : the pastors <7462 ra<ah > also transgressed <6586 pasha< > against me ,  and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesied <5012 naba> > by Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  and walked <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar >  [ things that ]  do not profit <3276 ya<al > .

 : 09 .  Wherefore <3651 ken > I will yet <5750 <owd > plead <7378 riyb > with you ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and with your children s <1121 ben > children <1121 ben > will I plead <7378 riyb > .

 : 10 For pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > the isles <0339 >iy > of Chittim <3794 Kittiy > ,  and see <7200 ra>ah > ;  and send <7971 shalach > unto Kedar <6938 Qedar > ,  and consider <0995 biyn > diligently <3966 m@<od > ,  and see <7200 ra>ah > if there be such <2063 zo>th > a thing .

 : 11 Hath a nation <1471 gowy > changed <4171 muwr >  [ their ]  gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  which <1992 hem >  [ are ]  yet no <3808 lo> > gods <0430 >elohiym > ?  but my people <5971 <am > have changed <4171 muwr > their glory <3519 kabowd > for  [ that which <1992 hem > ]  doth not profit <3276 ya<al > .

 : 12 Be astonished <8074 shamem > ,  O ye heavens <8064 shamayim > ,  at <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > ,  and be horribly <8175 sa<ar > afraid <8175 sa<ar > ,  be ye very <3966 m@<od > desolate <2717 charab > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 13 For my people <5971 <am > have committed <6213 <asah > two <8147 sh@nayim > evils <7451 ra< > ;  they have forsaken <5800 <azab > me the fountain <4726 maqowr > of living <2416 chay > waters <4325 mayim > ,   [ and ]  hewed <2672 chatsab > them out cisterns <0877 bo>r > ,  broken <7665 shabar > cisterns <0877 bo>r > ,  that can hold <3557 kuwl > no <3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim > .

 : 14 .   [ Is ]  Israel <3478 Yisra>el > a servant <5650 <ebed > ?   [ is ]  he a homeborn<1004 bayith >  [ slave ]  ?  why <4069 madduwa< > is he spoiled <0957 baz > ?

 : 15 The young <3715 k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr > roared <7580 sha>ag > upon him ,   [ and ]  yelled ,  and they made <7896 shiyth > his land <0776 >erets > waste <8047 shammah > : his cities <5892 <iyr > are burned <3341 yatsath > without <1097 b@liy > inhabitant <3427 yashab > .

 : 16 Also <1571 gam > the children <1121 ben > of Noph <5297 Noph > and Tahapanes <8471 Tachpanchec > have broken <7462 ra<ah > the crown <6936 qodqod > of thy head <6936 qodqod > .

 : 17 Hast thou not procured <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > unto thyself ,  in that thou hast forsaken <5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > ,  when <6256 <eth > he led <3212 yalak > thee by the way <1870 derek > ?

 : 18 And now <6258 <attah > what <4100 mah > hast thou to do in the way <1870 derek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  to drink <8354 shathah > the waters <4325 mayim > of Sihor <7883 Shiychowr > ?  or what <4100 mah > hast thou to do in the way <1870 derek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > ,  to drink <8354 shathah > the waters <4325 mayim > of the river <5104 nahar > ?

 : 19 Thine own wickedness <7451 ra< > shall correct <3256 yacar > thee ,  and thy backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > shall reprove <3198 yakach > thee : know <3045 yada< > therefore and see <7200 ra>ah > that  [ it is ]  an evil <7451 ra< >  [ thing ]  and bitter <4751 mar > ,  that thou hast forsaken <5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and that my fear <6345 pachdah >  [ is ]  not in thee ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > .

 : 20 .  For of old <5769 <owlam > time I have broken <7665 shabar > thy yoke <5923 <ol > ,   [ and ]  burst <5423 nathaq > thy bands <4147 mowcer > ;  and thou saidst <0559 >amar > ,  I will not transgress <5647 <abad > ;  when <3588 kiy > upon every <3605 kol > high <1364 gaboahh > hill <1389 gib<ah > and under <8478 tachath > every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets > thou wanderest <6808 tsa<ah > ,  playing the harlot <2181 zanah > .

 : 21 Yet I had planted <5193 nata< > thee a noble vine <8321 soreq > ,  wholly <3605 kol > a right <0571 >emeth > seed <2233 zera< > : how <0349 >eyk > then art thou turned <2015 haphak > into the degenerate <5494 cuwr > plant of a strange <5237 nokriy > vine <1612 gephen > unto me ?

 : 22 For though <0518 >im > thou wash <3526 kabac > thee with nitre <5427 nether > ,  and take thee much <7235 rabah > soap <1287 boriyth > ,   [ yet ]  thine iniquity <5771 <avon > is marked <3799 katham > before <6440 paniym > me ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

 : 23 How <0349 >eyk > canst thou say <0559 >amar > ,  I am not polluted <2930 tame> > ,  I have not gone <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > Baalim <1168 Ba<al > ?  see <7200 ra>ah > thy way <1870 derek > in the valley <1516 gay> > ,  know <3045 yada< > what <4100 mah > thou hast done <6213 <asah > :  [ thou art ]  a swift <7031  qal > dromedary <1072 bikrah > traversing <8308 sarak > her ways <1870 derek > ;

 : 24 A wild <6501 pere> > ass <6501 pere> > used <3928 limmuwd > to the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,   [ that ]  snuffeth <7602 sha>aph > up the wind <7307 ruwach > at her pleasure ;  in her occasion <8385 ta>anah > who <4310 miy > can turn <7725 shuwb > her away ?  all <3605 kol > they that seek <1245 baqash > her will not weary <3286 ya<aph > themselves ;  in her month <2320 chodesh > they shall find <4672 matsa> > her .

 : 25 Withhold <4513 mana< > thy foot <7272 regel > from being unshod <3182 yacheph > ,  and thy throat <1627 garown > from thirst <6773 tsim>ah > : but thou saidst <0559 >amar > ,  There is no hope <2976 ya>ash > : no <3808 lo> > ;  for I have loved <0157 >ahab > strangers <2114 zuwr > ,  and after <0310 >achar > them will I go <3212 yalak > .

 : 26 As the thief <1590 gannab > is ashamed <1322 bosheth > when <3588 kiy > he is found <4672 matsa> > ,  so <3651 ken > is the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ashamed <0954 buwsh > ;  they ,  their kings <4428 melek > ,  their princes <8269 sar > ,  and their priests <3548 kohen > ,  and their prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,

 : 27 Saying <0559 >amar > to a stock <6086 <ets > ,  Thou  [ art ]  my father <1> ;  and to a stone <68> ,  Thou hast brought <3205 yalad > me forth <3205 yalad > : for they have turned <6437 panah >  [ their ]  back <6203 <oreph > unto me ,  and not  [ their ]  face <6440 paniym > : but in the time <6256 <eth > of their trouble <7451 ra< > they will say <0559 >amar > ,  Arise <6965 quwm > ,  and save <3467 yasha< > us .

 : 28 But where <0346 >ayeh >  [ are ]  thy gods <0430 >elohiym > that thou hast made <6213 <asah > thee ?  let them arise <6965 quwm > ,  if they can save <3467 yasha< > thee in the time <6256 <eth > of thy trouble <7451 ra< > : for  [ according to ]  the number <4557 micpar > of thy cities <5892 <iyr > are thy gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  O Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

 : 29 .  Wherefore <4100 mah > will ye plead <7378 riyb > with me ?  ye all <3605 kol > have transgressed <6586 pasha< > against me ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 30 In vain <7723 shav> > have I smitten <5221 nakah > your children <1121 ben > ;  they received <3947 laqach > no <3808 lo> > correction <4148 muwcar > : your own sword <2719 chereb > hath devoured <0398 >akal > your prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  like a destroying <7843 shachath > lion <0738 >ariy > .

 : 31 O generation <1755 dowr > ,  see <7200 ra>ah > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .  Have I been <1961 hayah > a wilderness <4057 midbar > unto Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?  a land <0776 >erets > of darkness <3991 ma>phel@yah > ?  wherefore <4069 madduwa< > say <0559 >amar > my people <5971 <am > ,  We are lords <7300 ruwd > ;  we will come <0935 bow> > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > unto thee ?

 : 32 Can a maid <1330 b@thuwlah > forget <7911 shakach > her ornaments <5716 <adiy > ,   [ or ]  a bride <3618 kallah > her attire <7196 qishshur > ?  yet my people <5971 <am > have forgotten <7911 shakach > me days <3117 yowm > without <0369 >ayin > number <4557 micpar > .

 : 33 Why <4100 mah > trimmest <3190 yatab > thou thy way <1870 derek > to seek <1245 baqash > love <0160 >ahabah > ?  therefore <3651 ken > hast thou also <1571 gam > taught <3925 lamad > the wicked <7451 ra< > ones thy ways <1870 derek > .

 : 34 Also <1571 gam > in thy skirts <3671 kanaph > is found <4672 matsa> > the blood <1818 dam > of the souls <5315 nephesh > of the poor <34> innocents <5355 naqiy > : I have not found <4672 matsa> > it by secret <5643 cether > search <4290 machtereth > ,  but upon all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > .

 : 01 .  They say <0559 >amar > ,  If a man <0376 >iysh > put <7971 shalach > away his wife <0802 >ishshah > ,  and she go <1980 halak > from him ,  and become <1961 hayah > another <0312 >acher > man s <0376 >iysh > ,  shall he return <7725 shuwb > unto her again <5750 <owd > ?  shall not that land <0776 >erets > be greatly polluted <2610 chaneph > ?  but thou hast played the harlot <2181 zanah > with many <7227 rab > lovers <7453 rea< > ;  yet return <7725 shuwb > again to me ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 03 Therefore the showers <7241 rabiyb > have been withholden <4513 mana< > ,  and there hath been <1961 hayah > no <3808 lo> > latter <4456 malqowsh > rain <4456 malqowsh > ;  and thou hadst a whore s <2181 zanah > forehead <4696 metsach > ,  thou refusedst <3985 ma>en > to be ashamed <3637 kalam > .

 : 06 .  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > also unto me in the days <3117 yowm > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > the king <4428 melek > ,  Hast thou seen <7200 ra>ah >  [ that ]  which <0834 >aher > backsliding <4878 m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath done <6213 <asah > ?  she is gone <1980 halak > up upon every <3605 kol > high <1364 gaboahh > mountain <2022 har > and under every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets > ,  and there <8033 sham > hath played the harlot <2181 zanah > .

 : 07 And I said <0559 >amar > after <0310 >achar > she had done <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  ,  Turn <7725 shuwb > thou unto me .  But she returned <7725 shuwb > not .  And her treacherous <0901 bagowd > sister <0269 >achowth > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > saw <7200 ra>ah >  [ it ]  .

 : 08 And I saw <7200 ra>ah > ,  when <3588 kiy > for all <3605 kol > the causes <0182 >owdowth > whereby <0834 >aher > backsliding <4878 m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > committed <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph > I had put <7971 shalach > her away ,  and given <5414 nathan > her a bill <5612 cepher > of divorce <3748 k@riythuwth > ;  yet her treacherous <0898 bagad > sister <0269 >achowth > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > feared <3372 yare> > not ,  but went <3212 yalak > and played the harlot <2181 zanah > also <1571 gam > .

 : 09 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass through the lightness <6963 qowl > of her whoredom <2184 z@nuwth > ,  that she defiled <2610 chaneph > the land <0776 >erets > ,  and committed <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph > with stones <68> and with stocks <6086 <ets > .

 : 10 And yet for all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > her treacherous <0901 bagowd > sister <0269 >achowth > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > hath not turned <7725 shuwb > unto me with her whole <3605 kol > heart <3820 leb > ,  but feignedly <8267 sheqer > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 11 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  The backsliding <4878 m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath justified <6663 tsadaq > herself more than treacherous <0898 bagad > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

 : 12 .  Go <1980 halak > and proclaim <7121 qara> > these <0428 >el - leh > words <1697 dabar > toward the north <6828 tsaphown > ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,  Return <7725 shuwb > ,  thou backsliding <4878 m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;   [ and ]  I will not cause mine anger <6440 paniym > to fall <5307 naphal > upon you : for I  [ am ]  merciful <2623 chaciyd > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ and ]  I will not keep <5201 natar >  [ anger ]  for ever <5769 <owlam > .

 : 13 Only <0389 >ak > acknowledge <3045 yada< > thine iniquity <5771 <avon > ,  that thou hast transgressed <6586 pasha< > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and hast scattered <6340 pazar > thy ways <1870 derek > to the strangers <2114 zuwr > under <8478 tachath > every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets > ,  and ye have not obeyed <8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 14 Turn <7725 shuwb > ,  O backsliding <7726 showbab > children <1121 ben > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  for I am married <1166 ba<al > unto you : and I will take <3947 laqach > you one <0259 >echad > of a city <5892 <iyr > ,  and two <8147 sh@nayim > of a family <4940 mishpachah > ,  and I will bring <0935 bow> > you to Zion <6726 Tsiyown > :

 : 16 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when <3588 kiy > ye be multiplied <7235 rabah > and increased <6509 parah > in the land <0776 >erets > ,  in those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  they shall say <0559 >amar > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > ,  The ark <0727 >arown > of the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : neither <3808 lo> > shall it come <5927 <alah > to mind <3820 leb > : neither <3808 lo> > shall they remember <2142 zakar > it ;  neither <3808 lo> > shall they visit <6485 paqad >  [ it ]  ;  neither <3808 lo> > shall  [ that ]  be done <6213 <asah > any more <5750 <owd > .

 : 17 At that time <6256 <eth > they shall call <7121 qara> > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > the throne <3678 kicce> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  and all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > shall be gathered <6960 qavah > unto it ,  to the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : neither <3808 lo> > shall they walk <3212 yalak > any more <5750 <owd > after <0310 >achar > the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of their evil <7451 ra< > heart <3820 leb > .

 : 18 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall walk <3212 yalak > with the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and they shall come <0935 bow> > together <3162 yachad > out of the land <0776 >erets > of the north <6828 tsaphown > to the land <0776 >erets > that I have given for an inheritance <5157 nachal > unto your fathers <1> .

 : 19 But I said <0559 >amar > ,  How <0349 >eyk > shall I put <7896 shiyth > thee among the children <1121 ben > ,  and give <5414 nathan > thee a pleasant <2532 chemdah > land <0776 >erets > ,  a goodly <6643 ts@biy > heritage <5159 nachalah > of the hosts <6635 tsaba> > of nations <1471 gowy > ?  and I said <0559 >amar > ,  Thou shalt call <7121 qara> > me ,  My father <1> ;  and shalt not turn <7725 shuwb > away from me .

 : 20 .  Surely <0403 >aken >  [ as ]  a wife <0802 >ishshah > treacherously <0898 bagad > departeth from her husband <1167 ba<al > ,  so <3651 ken > have ye dealt treacherously <0898 bagad > with me ,  O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 21 A voice <6963 qowl > was heard <8085 shama< > upon the high <8205 sh@phiy > places ,  weeping <1065 B@kiy >  [ and ]  supplications <8469 tachanuwn > of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : for they have perverted <5753 <avah > their way <1870 derek > ,   [ and ]  they have forgotten <7911 shakach > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 22 Return <7725 shuwb > ,  ye backsliding <7726 showbab > children <1121 ben > ,   [ and ]  I will heal <7495 rapha> > your backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > .  Behold <2005 hen > ,  we come <0857 >athah > unto thee ;  for thou  [ art ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 23 Truly <0403 >aken > in vain <8267 sheqer >  [ is salvation hoped for ]  from the hills <1389 gib<ah > ,   [ and from ]  the multitude <1995 hamown > of mountains <2022 har > : truly <0403 >aken > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >  [ is ]  the salvation <8668 t@shuw<ah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 24 For shame <1322 bosheth > hath devoured <0398 >akal > the labour <3018 y@giya< > of our fathers <1> from our youth <5271 na<uwr > ;  their flocks <6629 tso>n > and their herds <1241 baqar > ,  their sons <1121 ben > and their daughters <1121 ben > .

 : 25 We lie <7901 shakab > down <7901 shakab > in our shame <1322 bosheth > ,  and our confusion <3639 k@limmah > covereth <3680 kacah > us : for we have sinned <2398 chata> > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > ,  we and our fathers <1> ,  from our youth <5271 na<uwr > even unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > ,  and have not obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 01 .  If <0518 >im > thou wilt return <7725 shuwb > ,  O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  return <7725 shuwb > unto me : and if thou wilt put <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > thine abominations <8251 shiqquwts > out of my sight <6440 paniym > ,  then shalt thou not remove <5110 nuwd > .

 : 02 And thou shalt swear <7650 shaba< > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ,  in truth <0571 >emeth > ,  in judgment <4941 mishpat > ,  and in righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > ;  and the nations <1471 gowy > shall bless <1288 barak > themselves in him ,  and in him shall they glory <1984 halal > .

 : 03 .  For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  Break <5214 niyr > up your fallow <5215 niyr > ground ,  and sow <2232 zara< > not among <0413 >el > thorns <6975 qowts > .

 : 04 Circumcise <4135 muwl > yourselves to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the foreskins <6190 <orlah > of your heart <3824 lebab > ,  ye men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : lest <6435 pen > my fury <2534 chemah > come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > like fire <0784 >esh > ,  and burn <1197 ba<ar > that none <0369 >ayin > can quench <3518 kabah >  [ it ]  ,  because <6440 paniym > of the evil <7451 ra< > of your doings <4611 ma<alal > .

 : 05 .  Declare <5046 nagad > ye in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and publish <8085 shama< > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ;  and say <0559 >amar > ,  Blow <8628 taqa< > ye the trumpet <7782 showphar > in the land <0776 >erets > : cry <7121 qara> > ,  gather <4390 male> > together ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,  Assemble <0622 >acaph > yourselves ,  and let us go <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the defenced <4013 mibtsar > cities <5892 <iyr > .

 : 07 The lion <0738 >ariy > is come <5927 <alah > up from his thicket <5441 cobek > ,  and the destroyer <7843 shachath > of the Gentiles <1471 gowy > is on his way <5265 naca< > ;  he is gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > from his place <4725 maqowm > to make <7760 suwm > thy land <0776 >erets > desolate <8047 shammah > ;   [ and ]  thy cities <5892 <iyr > shall be laid waste <5327 natsah > ,  without <0369 >ayin > an inhabitant <3427 yashab > .

 : 13 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  he shall come <5927 <alah > up as clouds <6053 <ananah > ,  and his chariots <4818 merkabah >  [ shall be ]  as a whirlwind <5492 cuwphah > : his horses <5483 cuwc > are swifter <7043 qalal > than eagles <5404 nesher > .  Woe <0188 >owy > unto us !  for we are spoiled <7703 shadad > .

 : 14 O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  wash <3526 kabac > thine heart <3820leb > from wickedness <7451 ra< > ,  that thou mayest be saved <3467 yasha< > .  How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > shall thy vain <0205 >aven > thoughts <4284 machashabah > lodge <3885 luwn > within <7130 qereb > thee ?

 : 15 For a voice <6963 qowl > declareth <5046 nagad > from Dan <1835 Dan > ,  and publisheth <8085 shama< > affliction <0205 >aven > from mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > .

 : 16 Make ye mention <2142 zakar > to the nations <1471 gowy > ;  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  publish <8085 shama< > against <5921 <al > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,   [ that ]  watchers <5341 natsar > come <0935 bow> > from a far <4801 merchaq > country <0776 >erets > ,  and give <5414 nathan > out their voice <6963 qowl > against <5921 <al > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

 : 17 As keepers <8104 shamar > of a field <7704 sadeh > ,  are they against <5921 <al > her round <5439 cabiyb > about ;  because <3588 kiy > she hath been rebellious <4784 marah > against me ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 18 Thy way <1870 derek > and thy doings <4611 ma<alal > have procured <6213 <asah > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  unto thee ;  this <2063 zo>th >  [ is ]  thy wickedness <7451 ra< > ,  because <3588 kiy > it is bitter <4751 mar > ,  because <3588 kiy > it reacheth <5060 naga< > unto thine heart <3820 leb > .

 : 20 Destruction <7667 sheber > upon destruction <7667 sheber > is cried <7121 qara> > ;  for the whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > is spoiled <7703 shadad > : suddenly <6597 pith>owm > are my tents <0168 >ohel > spoiled <7703 shadad > ,   [ and ]  my curtains <3407 y@riy<ah > in a moment <7281 rega< > .

 : 26 I beheld <7200 ra>ah > ,  and ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  the fruitful <3759 karmel > place  [ was ]  a wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  and all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof were broken <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats > at the presence <6440 paniym > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ and ]  by his fierce <2740 charown > anger <0639 >aph > .

 : 27 For thus <3541 koh > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > ,  The whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > shall be desolate <8077 sh@mamah > ;  yet will I not make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615 kalah > .

 : 28 For this <2063 zo>th > shall the earth <0776 >erets > mourn <56> ,  and the heavens <8064 shamayim > above <4605 ma<al > be black <6937 qadar > : because I have spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  ,  I have purposed <2161 zamam >  [ it ]  ,  and will not repent <5162 nacham > ,  neither <3808 lo> > will I turn <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > from it .

 : 29 The whole <3605 kol > city <5892 <iyr > shall flee <1272 barach > for the noise <6963 qowl > of the horsemen <6571 parash > and bowmen ;  they shall go <0935 bow> > into thickets <5645 <ab > ,  and climb <5927 <alah > up upon the rocks <3710 keph > : every <3605 kol > city <5892 <iyr >  [ shall be ]  forsaken <5800 <azab > ,  and not a man <0376 >iysh > dwell <3427 yashab > therein <2004 hen > .

 : 30 And  [ when ]  thou  [ art ]  spoiled <7703 shadad > ,  what <4100 mah > wilt thou do <6213 <asah > ?  Though <3588 kiy > thou clothest <3847 labash > thyself with crimson <8144 shaniy > ,  though <3588 kiy > thou deckest <5710 <adah > thee with ornaments <5716 <adiy > of gold <2091 zahab > ,  though <3588 kiy > thou rentest <7167 qara< > thy face <5869 <ayin > with painting <6320 puwk > ,  in vain <7723 shav> > shalt thou make thyself fair <3302 yaphah > ;   [ thy ]  lovers <5689 <agab > will despise <3988 ma>ac > thee ,  they will seek <1245 baqash > thy life <5315 nephesh > .

 : 31 For I have heard <8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl > as of a woman in travail <2470 chalah > ,   [ and ]  the anguish <6869 tsarah > as of her that bringeth <1069 bakar > forth her first <1069 bakar > child ,  the voice <6963 qowl > of the daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ,   [ that ]  bewaileth <3306 yaphach > herself ,   [ that ]  spreadeth <6566 paras > her hands <3709 kaph > ,   [ saying ]  ,  Woe <0188 >owy >  [ is ]  me now <4994 na> > !  for my soul <5315 nephesh > is wearied <5888 <ayeph > because of murderers <2026 harag > .

 : Jeremiah 5

 : 01 .  Run <7751 shuwt > ye to and fro <7751 shuwt > through the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and see <7200 ra>ah > now <4994 na> > ,  and know <3045 yada< > ,  and seek <1245 baqash > in the broad <7339 r@chob > places thereof ,  if <0518 >im > ye can find <4672 matsa> > a man <0376 >iysh > ,  if <0518 >im > there be  [ any ]  that executeth <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat > ,  that seeketh <1245 baqash > the truth <0530 >emuwnah > ;  and I will pardon <5545 calach > it .

 : 02 And though <0518 >im > they say <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ;  surely <0403 >aken > they swear <7650 shaba< > falsely <8267 sheqer > .

 : 03 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ are ]  not thine eyes <5869 <ayin > upon the truth <0530 >emuwnah > ?  thou hast stricken <5221 nakah > them ,  but they have not grieved <2342 chuwl > ;  thou hast consumed <3615 kalah > them ,   [ but ]  they have refused <3985 ma>en > to receive <3947 laqach > correction <4148 muwcar > : they have made their faces <6440 paniym > harder <2388 chazaq > than a rock <5553 cela< > ;  they have refused <3985 ma>en > to return <7725 shuwb > .

 : 04 Therefore I said <0559 >amar > ,  Surely <0389 >ak > these <1992 hem >  [ are ]  poor <1800 dal > ;  they are foolish <2973 ya>al > : for they know <3045 yada< > not the way <1870 derek > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ nor ]  the judgment <4941 mishpat > of their God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 05 I will get <3212 yalak > me unto the great <1419 gadowl > men ,  and will speak <1696 dabar > unto them ;  for they have known <3045 yada< > the way <1870 derek > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ and ]  the judgment <4941 mishpat > of their God <0430 >elohiym > : but these <1992 hem > have altogether <3162 yachad > broken <7665 shabar > the yoke <5923 <ol > ,   [ and ]  burst <5423 nathaq > the bonds <4147 mowcer > .

 : 06 Wherefore a lion <0738 >ariy > out of the forest <3293 ya<ar > shall slay <5221 nakah > them ,   [ and ]  a wolf <2061 z@>eb > of the evenings <6160 <arabah > shall spoil <7703 shadad > them ,  a leopard <5246 namer > shall watch <8245 shaqad > over <5921 <al > their cities <5892 <iyr > : every one that goeth <3318 yatsa> > out thence <2007 hennah > shall be torn <2963 taraph > in pieces : because <3588 kiy > their transgressions <6588 pesha< > are many <7231 rabab > ,   [ and ]  their backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > are increased <6105 <atsam > .

 : 07 How <0335 >ay > shall I pardon <5545 calach > thee for this <2063 zo>th > ?  thy children <1121 ben > have forsaken <5800 <azab > me ,  and sworn <7650 shaba< > by  [ them that are ]  no <3808 lo> > gods <0430 >elohiym > : when I had fed them to the full <7646 saba< > ,  they then committed <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph > ,  and assembled <1413 gadad > themselves by troops in the harlots <2181 zanah >  houses <1004 bayith > .

 : 08 They were  [ as ]  fed <2109 zuwn > horses <5483 cuwc > in the morning <7904 shakah > : every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > neighed <6670 tsahal > after <0413 >el > his neighbour s <7453 rea< > wife <0802 >ishshah > .

 : 09 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > for these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and shall not my soul <5315 nephesh > be avenged <5358 naqam > on such <0834 >aher > a nation <1471 gowy > as this <2088 zeh > ?

 : 10 .  Go <5927 <alah > ye up upon her walls <8284 sharah > ,  and destroy <7843 shachath > ;  but make <6213 <asah > not a full end <3615 kalah > : take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > her battlements <5189 n@tiyshah > ;  for they  [ are ]  not the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 11 For the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have dealt very treacherously <0898 bagad > against me ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 12 They have belied <3584 kachash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,   [ It is ]  not he ;  neither <3808 lo> > shall evil <7451 ra< > come <0935 bow> > upon us ;  neither <3808 lo> > shall we see <7200 ra>ah > sword <2719 chereb > nor famine <7458 ra<ab > :

 : 13 And the prophets <5030 nabiy> > shall become <1961 hayah > wind <7307 ruwach > ,  and the word <1699 dober >  [ is ]  not in them : thus <3541 koh > shall it be done <6213 <asah > unto them .

 : 14 Wherefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  Because <3282 ya<an > ye speak <1696 dabar > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar > ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  I will make <5414 nathan > my words <1697 dabar > in thy mouth <6310 peh > fire <0784 >esh > ,  and this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > wood <6086 <ets > ,  and it shall devour <0398 >akal > them .

 : 15 Lo <2009 hinneh > ,  I will bring <0935 bow> > a nation <1471 gowy > upon you from far <4801 merchaq > ,  O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : it  [ is ]  a mighty <0386 >eythan > nation <1471 gowy > ,  it  [ is ]  an ancient <5769 <owlam > nation <1471 gowy > ,  a nation <1471 gowy > whose language <3956 lashown > thou knowest <3045 yada< > not ,  neither <3808 lo> > understandest <8085 shama< > what <4100 mah > they say <1696 dabar > .

 : 16 Their quiver <0827 >ashpah >  [ is ]  as an open <6605 pathach > sepulchre <6913 qeber > ,  they  [ are ]  all <3605 kol > mighty <1368 gibbowr > men .

 : 17 And they shall eat <0398 >akal > up thine harvest <7105 qatsiyr > ,  and thy bread <3899 lechem > ,   [ which ]  thy sons <1121 ben > and thy daughters <1121 ben > should eat <0398 >akal > : they shall eat <0398 >akal > up thy flocks <6629 tso>n > and thine herds <1241 baqar > : they shall eat <0398 >akal > up thy vines <1612 gephen > and thy fig <8384 t@>en > trees : they shall impoverish <7567 rashash > thy fenced <4013 mibtsar > cities <5892 <iyr > ,  wherein <0834 >aher > thou trustedst <0982 batach > ,  with the sword <2719 chereb > .

 : 18 Nevertheless <1571 gam > in those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  I will not make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615 kalah > with you .

 : 19 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when <3588 kiy > ye shall say <0559 >amar > ,  Wherefore doeth <6213 <asah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  unto us ?  then shalt thou answer <0559 >amar > them ,  Like as ye have forsaken <5800 <azab > me ,  and served <5647 <abad > strange <5236 nekar > gods <0430 >elohiym > in your land <0776 >erets > ,  so <3651 ken > shall ye serve <5647 <abad > strangers <2114 zuwr > in a land <0776 >erets >  [ that is ]  not yours .

 : 20 .  Declare <5046 nagad > this <2063 zo>th > in the house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  and publish <8085 shama< > it in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 21 Hear <8085 shama< > now <4994 na> > this <2063 zo>th > ,  O foolish <5530 cakal > people <5971 <am > ,  and without <0369 >ayin > understanding <3820 leb > ;  which have eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and see <7200 ra>ah > not ;  which have ears <0241 >ozen > ,  and hear <8085 shama< > not :

 : 22 Fear <3372 yare> > ye not me ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : will ye not tremble <2342 chuwl > at my presence <6440 paniym > ,  which <0834 >aher > have placed <0776 >erets > the sand <2344 chowl >  [ for ]  the bound <1366 g@buwl > of the sea <3220 yam > by a perpetual <5769 <owlam > decree <2706 choq > ,  that it cannot <3201 yakol > pass <5674 <abar > it : and though the waves <1530 gal > thereof toss <1607 ga<ash > themselves ,  yet can they not prevail <3201 yakol > ;  though they roar <1993 hamah > ,  yet can <3201 yakol > they not pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > it ?

 : 23 But this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > hath a revolting <5637 carar > and a rebellious <4784 marah > heart <3820 leb > ;  they are revolted <5498 cachab > and gone <3212 yalak > .

 : 24 Neither <3808 lo> > say <0559 >amar > they in their heart <3824 lebab > ,  Let us now <4994 na> > fear <3372 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > ,  that giveth <5414 nathan > rain <1653 geshem > ,  both the former <3138 yowreh > and the latter <4456 malqowsh > ,  in his season <6256 <eth > : he reserveth <8104 shamar > unto us the appointed <2708 chuqqah > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > of the harvest <7105 qatsiyr > .

 : 25 .  Your iniquities <5771 <avon > have turned <5186 natah > away these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  ,  and your sins <2403 chatta>ah > have withholden <4513 mana< > good <2896 towb >  [ things ]  from you .

 : 26 For among my people <5971 <am > are found <4672 matsa> > wicked <7563 rasha< >  [ men ]  : they lay wait <7789 shuwr > ,  as he that setteth <7918 shakak > snares <3353 yaquwsh > ;  they set <5324 natsab > a trap <4889 mashchiyth > ,  they catch <3920 lakad > men <0582 >enowsh > .

 : 27 As a cage <3619 k@lub > is full <4392 male> > of birds <5775 <owph > ,  so <3651 ken >  [ are ]  their houses <1004 bayith > full <4392 male> > of deceit <4820 mirmah > : therefore they are become <6238 <ashar > great <1431 gadal > ,  and waxen rich <6238 <ashar > .

 : 28 They are waxen fat <8080 shaman > ,  they shine <6245 <ashath > : yea <1571 gam > ,  they overpass <5674 <abar > the deeds <1697 dabar > of the wicked <7451 ra< > : they judge <1777 diyn > not the cause <1779 diyn > ,  the cause of the fatherless <3490 yathowm > ,  yet they prosper <6743 tsalach > ;  and the right <4941 mishpat > of the needy <34> do they not judge <8199 shaphat > .

 : 29 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > for these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : shall not my soul <5315 nephesh > be avenged <5358 naqam > on such <0834 >aher > a nation <1471 gowy > as this ?

 : 30 A wonderful <8047 shammah > and horrible <8186 sha<aruwrah > thing is committed <1961 hayah > in the land <0776 >erets > ;

 : 31 The prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesy <5012 naba> > falsely <8267 sheqer > ,  and the priests <3548 kohen > bear <7287 radah > rule <7287 radah > by their means <3027 yad > ;  and my people <5971 <am > love <0157 >ahab >  [ to have it ]  so <3651 ken > : and what <4100 mah > will ye do <6213 <asah > in the end <0319 >achariyth > thereof ?

 : Jeremiah 6

 : 01 .  O ye children <1121 ben > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn > ,  gather <5756 <uwz > yourselves to flee <5756 <uwz > out of the midst <7130 qereb > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and blow <8628 taqa< > the trumpet <7782 showphar > in Tekoa <8620 T@qowa< > ,  and set <5375 nasa> > up a sign <4864 mas>eth > of fire in Bethhaccerem <1021 Beyth hak - Kerem > : for evil <7451 ra< > appeareth <8259 shaqaph > out of the north <6828 tsaphown > ,  and great <1419 gadowl > destruction <7667 sheber > .

 : 02 I have likened <1819 damah > the daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > to a comely <5000 na>veh > and delicate <6026 <anag >  [ woman ]  .

 : 03 The shepherds <7462 ra<ah > with their flocks <5739 <eder > shall come <0935 bow> > unto her ;  they shall pitch <8628 taqa< >  [ their ]  tents <0168 >ohel > against <5921 <al > her round <5439 cabiyb > about ;  they shall feed <7462 ra<ah > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > in his place <3027 yad > .

 : 04 Prepare <6942 qadash > ye war <4421 milchamah > against <5921 <al > her ; arise <6965 quwm > ,  and let us go <5927 <alah > up at noon <6672 tsohar > .  Woe <0188 >owy > unto us !  for the day <3117 yowm > goeth <6437 panah > away ,  for the shadows <6752 tselel > of the evening <6153 <ereb > are stretched <5186 natah > out .

 : 05 Arise <6965 quwm > ,  and let us go <5927 <alah > by night <3915 layil > ,  and let us destroy <7843 shachath > her palaces <0759 >armown > .

 : 06 For thus <3541 koh > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > said <0559 >amar > ,  Hew <3772 karath > ye down trees <6097 <etsah > ,  and cast <8210 shaphak > a mount <5550 col@lah > against <5921 <al > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : this <1931 huw> >  [ is ]  the city <5892 <iyr > to be visited <6485 paqad > ;  she  [ is ]  wholly <3605 kol > oppression <6233 <osheq > in the midst <7130 qereb > of her .

 : 07 As a fountain <0953 bowr > casteth <6979 quwr > out her waters <4325 mayim > ,  so <3651 ken > she casteth <6979 quwr > out her wickedness <7451 ra< > : violence <2555 chamac > and spoil <7701 shod > is heard <8085 shama< > in her ;  before me continually <8548 tamiyd >  [ is ]  grief <2483 choliy > and wounds <4347 makkah > .

 : 08 Be thou instructed <3256 yacar > ,  O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  lest <6435 pen > my soul <5315 nephesh > depart <3363 yaqa< > from thee ;  lest <6435 pen > I make <7760 suwm > thee desolate <8077 sh@mamah > ,  a land <0776 >erets > not inhabited <3427 yashab > .

 : 09 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  They shall throughly glean <5953 <alal > the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > as a vine <1612 gephen > : turn <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > thine hand <3027 yad > as a grapegatherer <1219 batsar > into <5921 <al > the baskets <5552 calcillah > .

 : 10 To whom <4310 miy > shall I speak <1696 dabar > ,  and give warning <5749 <uwd > ,  that they may hear <8085 shama< > ?  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  their ear <0241 >ozen >  [ is ]  uncircumcised <6189 <arel > ,  and they cannot hearken <7181 qashab > : behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is unto them a reproach <2781 cherpah > ;  they have no <3808 lo> > delight <2654 chaphets > in it .

 : 11 Therefore I am full <4392 male> > of the fury <2534 chemah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  I am weary <3811 la>ah > with holding <3557 kuwl > in : I will pour <8210 shaphak > it out upon the children <5768 <owlel > abroad <2351 chuwts > ,  and upon the assembly <5475 cowd > of young <0970 bachuwr > men together <3162 yachad > : for even <1571 gam > the husband <0376 >iysh > with the wife <0802 >ishshah > shall be taken <3920 lakad > ,  the aged <2205 zaqen > with  [ him that is ]  full <4390 male> > of days <3117 yowm > .

 : 12 And their houses <1004 bayith > shall be turned <5437 cabab > unto others <0312 >acher > ,   [ with their ]  fields <7704 sadeh > and wives <0802 >ishshah > together <3162 yachad > : for I will stretch <5186 natah > out my hand <3027 yad > upon the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 13 For from the least <6996 qatan > of them even unto the greatest <1419 gadowl > of them every <3605 kol > one  [ is ]  given to covetousness <1215 betsa< > ;  and from the prophet <5030 nabiy> > even unto the priest <3548 kohen > every <3605 kol > one dealeth <6213 <asah > falsely <8267 sheqer > .

 : 15 Were they ashamed <0954 buwsh > when <3588 kiy > they had committed <6213 <asah > abomination <8441 tow<ebah > ?  nay <1571 gam > ,  they were not at all ashamed <0954 buwsh > ,  neither could <3045 yada< > they blush <3637 kalam > : therefore <3651 ken > they shall fall <5307 naphal > among them that fall <5307 naphal > : at the time <6256 <eth >  [ that ]  I visit <6485 paqad > them they shall be cast <3782 kashal > down <3782 kashal > ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 16 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Stand <5975 <amad > ye in the ways <1870 derek > ,  and see <7200 ra>ah > ,  and ask <7592 sha>al > for the old <5769 <owlam > paths <5410 nathiyb > ,  where <0335 >ay >  [ is ]  the good <2896 towb > way <1870 derek > ,  and walk <3212 yalak > therein ,  and ye shall find <4672 matsa> > rest <4771 margowa< > for your souls <5315 nephesh > .  But they said <0559 >amar > ,  We will not walk <3212 yalak >  [ therein ]  .

 : 17 Also I set <6965 quwm > watchmen <6822 tsaphah > over <5921 <al > you ,   [ saying ]  ,  Hearken <7181 qashab > to the sound <6963 qowl > of the trumpet <7782 showphar > .  But they said <0559 >amar > ,  We will not hearken <7181 qashab > .

 : 20 To what <4100 mah > purpose cometh <0935 bow> > there to me incense <3828 l@bownah > from Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> > ,  and the sweet <2896 towb > cane <7070 qaneh > from a far <4801 merchaq > country <0776 >erets > ?  your burnt <5930 <olah > offerings  [ are ]  not acceptable <7522 ratsown > ,  nor <3808 lo> > your sacrifices <2077 zebach > sweet <6147 <Er > unto me .

 : 21 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will lay <5414 nathan > stumblingblocks <4383 mikshowl > before <0413 >el > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ,  and the fathers <1> and the sons <1121 ben > together <3162 yachad > shall fall <3782 kashal > upon them ;  the neighbour <7934 shaken > and his friend <7453 rea< > shall perish <6> .

 : 23 They shall lay hold <2388 chazaq > on bow <7198 qesheth > and spear <3591 kiydown > ;  they  [ are ]  cruel <0394 >akzariy > ,  and have no <3808 lo> > mercy <7355 racham > ;  their voice <6963 qowl > roareth <1993 hamah > like the sea <3220 yam > ;  and they ride <7392 rakab > upon horses <5483 cuwc > ,  set in array <6186 <arak > as men <0376 >iysh > for war <4421 milchamah > against <5921 <al > thee ,  O daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > .

 : 30 Reprobate <3988 ma>ac > silver <3701 keceph > shall  [ men ]  call <7121 qara> > them ,  because <3588 kiy > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath rejected <3988 ma>ac > them .

 : 01 .  The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 02 Stand <5975 <amad > in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith > ,  and proclaim <7121 qara> > there <8033 sham > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar > ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,  Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  all <3605 kol >  [ ye of ]  Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  that enter <0935 bow> > in at these <0428 >el - leh > gates <8179 sha<ar > to worship <7812 shachah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 03 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  Amend <3190 yatab > your ways <1870 derek > and your doings <4611 ma<alal > ,  and I will cause you to dwell <7931 shakan > in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > .

 : 04 Trust <0982 batach > ye not in lying <8267 sheqer > words <1697 dabar > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  The temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  The temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  The temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ are ]  these <1992 hem > .

 : 05 For if <0518 >im > ye throughly amend <3190 yatab > your ways <1870 derek > and your doings <4611 ma<alal > ;  if <0518 >im > ye throughly execute <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat > between <0996 beyn > a man <0376 >iysh > and his neighbour <7453 rea< > ;

 : 06  [ If ]  ye oppress <6231 <ashaq > not the stranger <1616 ger > ,  the fatherless <3490 yathowm > ,  and the widow <0490 >almanah > ,  and shed <8210 shaphak > not innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818 dam > in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > ,  neither <3808 lo> > walk <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > to your hurt <7451 ra< > :

 : 07 Then will I cause you to dwell <7931 shakan > in this <2088 zeh > place<4725 maqowm > ,  in the land <0776 >erets > that I gave <5414 nathan > to your fathers <1> ,  for ever <5769 <owlam > and ever <5769 <owlam > .

 : 08 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  ye trust <0982 batach > in lying <8267 sheqer > words <1697 dabar > ,  that cannot <1115 biltiy > profit <3276 ya<al > .

 : 10 And come <0935 bow> > and stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > me in this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > ,  which <0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem > ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,  We are delivered <5337 natsal > to do <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > abominations <8441 tow<ebah > ?

 : 11 Is this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > ,  which <0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem > ,  become <1961 hayah > a den <4631 m@<arah > of robbers <6530 p@riyts > in your eyes <5869 <ayin > ?  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  even <1571 gam > I have seen <7200 ra>ah >  [ it ]  ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 12 But go <3212 yalak > ye now <4994 na> > unto my place <4725 maqowm > which <0834 >aher >  [ was ]  in Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh > ,  where I set <7931 shakan > my name <8034 shem > at the first <7223 ri>shown > ,  and see <7200 ra>ah > what I did <6213 <asah > to it for the wickedness <7451 ra< > of my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 13 And now <4994 na> > ,  because <3282 ya<an > ye have done <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > works <4639 ma<aseh > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and I spake <1696 dabar > unto you ,  rising <7925 shakam > up early <7925 shakam > and speaking <1696 dabar > ,  but ye heard <8085 shama< > not ;  and I called <7121 qara> > you ,  but ye answered <6030 <anah > not ;

 : 14 Therefore will I do <6213 <asah > unto  [ this ]  house <1004 bayith > ,  which <0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem > ,  wherein <0834 >aher > ye trust <0982 batach > ,  and unto the place <4725 maqowm > which <0834 >aher > I gave <5414 nathan > to you and to your fathers <1> ,  as I have done <6213 <asah > to Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh > .

 : 15 And I will cast <7993 shalak > you out of my sight <6440 paniym > ,  as I have cast <7993 shalak > out all <3605 kol > your brethren <0251 >ach > ,   [ even <0853 >eth > ]  the whole <3605 kol > seed <2233 zera< > of Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > .

 : 17 Seest <7200 ra>ah > thou not what <4100 mah > they do <6213 <asah > in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and in the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ?

 : 18 The children <1121 ben > gather <3950 laqat > wood <6086 <ets > ,  and the fathers <1> kindle <1197 ba<ar > the fire <0784 >esh > ,  and the women <0802 >ishshah > knead <3888 luwsh >  [ their ]  dough <1217 batseq > ,  to make <6213 <asah > cakes <3561 kavvan > to the queen <4446 m@leketh > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and to pour <5258 nacak > out drink <5262 necek > offerings <5262 necek > unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  that they may provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac > .

 : 19 Do they provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac > ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > :  [ do they ]  not  [ provoke ]  themselves to the confusion <1322 bosheth > of their own faces <6440 paniym > ?

 : 20 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ;  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  mine anger <0639 >aph > and my fury <2534 chemah > shall be poured <5413 nathak > out upon this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > ,  upon man <0120 >adam > ,  and upon beast <0929 b@hemah > ,  and upon the trees <6086 <ets > of the field <7704 sadeh > ,  and upon the fruit <6529 p@riy > of the ground <0127 >adamah > ;  and it shall burn <1197 ba<ar > ,  and shall not be quenched <3518 kabah > .

 : 21 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  Put <5595 caphah > your burnt <5930 <olah > offerings unto your sacrifices <2077 zebach > ,  and eat <0398 >akal > flesh <1320 basar > .

 : 22 For I spake <1696 dabar > not unto your fathers <1> ,  nor <3808 lo> > commanded <6680 tsavah > them in the day <3117 yowm > that I brought <3318 yatsa> > them out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  concerning burnt <5930 <olah > offerings or sacrifices <2077 zebach > :

 : 23 But this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > commanded <6680 tsavah > I them ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Obey <8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl > ,  and I will be your God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and ye shall be my people <5971 <am > : and walk <1980 halak > ye in all <3605 kol > the ways <1870 derek > that I have commanded <6680 tsavah > you ,  that it may be well <3190 yatab > unto you .

 : 24 But they hearkened <8085 shama< > not ,  nor <3808 lo> > inclined <5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen > ,  but walked <3212 yalak > in the counsels <4156 mow<etsah >  [ and ]  in the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of their evil <7451 ra< > heart <3820 leb > ,  and went <1961 hayah > backward <0268 >achowr > ,  and not forward <6440 paniym > .

 : 25 Since <4480 min > the day <3117 yowm > that your fathers <1> came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > I have even sent <7971 shalach > unto you all <3605 kol > my servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  daily <3117 yowm > rising <7925 shakam > up early <7925 shakam > and sending <7971 shalach >  [ them ]  :

 : 26 Yet they hearkened <8085 shama< > not unto me ,  nor <3808 lo> > inclined <5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen > ,  but hardened <7185 qashah > their neck <6202 <araph > : they did worse <7489 ra<a< > than their fathers <1> .

 : 27 Therefore thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > words <1697 dabar > unto them ;  but they will not hearken <8085 shama< > to thee : thou shalt also call <7121 qara> > unto them ;  but they will not answer <6030 <anah > thee .

 : 28 But thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  This <2088 zeh >  [ is ]  a nation <1471 gowy > that obeyeth <8085 shama< > not the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > ,  nor <3808 lo> > receiveth <3947 laqach > correction <4148 muwcar > : truth <0530 >emuwnah > is perished <6> ,  and is cut <3772 karath > off from their mouth <6310 peh > .

 : 29 .  Cut <1494 gazaz > off thine hair <5145 nezer > ,   [ O Jerusalem ]  ,  and cast <7993 shalak >  [ it ]  away ,  and take <5375 nasa> > up a lamentation <7015 qiynah > on <5921 <al > high <8205 sh@phiy > places ;  for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath rejected <3988 ma>ac > and forsaken <5203 natash > the generation <1755 dowr > of his wrath <5678 <ebrah > .

 : 30 For the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have done <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in my sight <5869 <ayin > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : they have set <7760 suwm > their abominations <8251 shiqquwts > in the house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem > ,  to pollute <2930 tame> > it .

 : 31 And they have built <1129 banah > the high <1116 bamah > places of Tophet <8612 Topheth > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ is ]  in the valley <1516 gay> > of the son <1121 ben > of Hinnom <2011 Hinnom > ,  to burn <8313 saraph > their sons <1121 ben > and their daughters <1121 ben > in the fire <0784 >esh > ;  which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah >  [ them ]  not ,  neither <3808 lo> > came <5927 <alah > it into <5921 <al > my heart <3820 leb > .

 : 32 Therefore <3651 ken > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow> > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that it shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > be called <0559 >amar > Tophet <8612 Topheth > ,  nor the valley <1516 gay> > of the son <1121 ben > of Hinnom <2011 Hinnom > ,  but the valley <1516 gay> > of slaughter <2028 haregah > : for they shall bury <6912 qabar > in Tophet <8612 Topheth > ,  till there be no <0369 >ayin > place <4725 maqowm > .

 : 33 And the carcases <5038 n@belah > of this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > shall be meat <3978 ma>akal > for the fowls <5775 <owph > of the heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and for the beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the earth <0776 >erets > ;  and none <0369 >ayin > shall fray <2729 charad >  [ them ]  away .

 : 34 Then will I cause to cease <7673 shabath > from the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and from the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  the voice <6963 qowl > of mirth <8342 sasown > ,  and the voice <6963 qowl > of gladness <8057 simchah > ,  the voice <6963 qowl > of the bridegroom <2860 chathan > ,  and the voice <6963 qowl > of the bride <3618 kallah > : for the land <0776 >erets > shall be desolate <2723 chorbah > .

 : 03 And death <4194 maveth > shall be chosen <0977 bachar > rather than life <2416 chay > by all <3605 kol > the residue <7611 sh@>eriyth > of them that remain <7604 sha>ar > of this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > family <4940 mishpachah > ,  which remain <7604 sha>ar > in all <3605 kol > the places <4725 maqowm > whither I have driven <5080 nadach > them ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > .

 : 04 .  Moreover thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Shall they fall <5307 naphal > ,  and not arise <6965 quwm > ?  shall he turn <7725 shuwb > away ,  and not return <7725 shuwb > ?

 : 05 Why <4069 madduwa< >  [ then ]  is this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > slidden <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > by a perpetual <5331 netsach > backsliding <4878 m@shuwbah > ?  they hold <2388 chazaq > fast deceit <8649 tormah > ,  they refuse <3985 ma>en > to return <7725 shuwb > .

 : 06 I hearkened <8085 shama< > and heard <8085 shama< > ,   [ but ]  they spake <1696 dabar > not aright <3651 ken > : no <0369 >ayin > man <0376 >iysh > repented <5162 nacham > him of his wickedness <7451 ra< > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > have I done <6213 <asah > ?  every <3605 kol > one turned <7725 shuwb > to his course <4794 m@ruwtsah > ,  as the horse <5483 cuwc > rusheth <7857 shataph > into the battle <4421 milchamah > .

 : 07 Yea <1571 gam > ,  the stork <2624 chaciydah > in the heaven <8064 shamayim > knoweth <3045 yada< > her appointed <4150 mow<ed > times <6256 <eth > ;  and the turtle <8449 towr > and the crane <5483 cuwc > and the swallow <5693 <aguwr > observe <8104 shamar > the time <6256 <eth > of their coming <0935 bow> > ;  but my people <5971 <am > know <3045 yada< > not the judgment <4941 mishpat > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 08 How <0349 >eyk > do ye say <0559 >amar > ,  We  [ are ]  wise <2450 chakam > ,  and the law <8451 towrah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ is ]  with us ?  Lo <2009 hinneh > ,  certainly <0403 >aken > in vain <8267 sheqer > made <6213 <asah > he  [ it ]  ;  the pen <5842 <et > of the scribes <5608 caphar >  [ is ]  in vain <8267 sheqer > .

 : 09 The wise <2450 chakam >  [ men ]  are ashamed <0954 buwsh > ,  they are dismayed <2865 chathath > and taken : lo <2009 hinneh > ,  they have rejected <3988 ma>ac > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  and what <4100 mah > wisdom <2451 chokmah >  [ is ]  in them ?

 : 10 Therefore <3651 ken > will I give <5414 nathan > their wives <0802 >ishshah > unto others <0312 >acher > ,   [ and ]  their fields <7704 sadeh > to them that shall inherit <3423 yarash >  [ them ]  : for every <3605 kol > one from the least <6996 qatan > even unto the greatest <1419 gadowl > is given to covetousness <1215 betsa< > ,  from the prophet <5030 nabiy> > even unto the priest <3548 kohen > every <3605 kol > one dealeth <6213 <asah > falsely <8267 sheqer > .

 : 11 For they have healed <7495 rapha> > the hurt <7667 sheber > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am > slightly <7043 qalal > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Peace <7965 shalowm > ,  peace <7965 shalowm > ;  when  [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > peace <7965 shalowm > .

 : 12 Were they ashamed <0954 buwsh > when <3588 kiy > they had committed <6213 <asah > abomination <8441 tow<ebah > ?  nay <1571 gam > ,  they were not at all ashamed <0954 buwsh > ,  neither <3808 lo> > could <3045 yada< > they blush <3637 kalam > : therefore <3651 ken > shall they fall <5307 naphal > among them that fall <5307 naphal > : in the time <6256 <eth > of their visitation <6486 p@quddah > they shall be cast <3782 kashal > down <3782 kashal > ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 13 .  I will surely consume <5486 cuwph > them ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > :  [ there shall be ]  no <0369 >ayin > grapes <6025 <enab > on the vine <1612 gephen > ,  nor <0369 >ayin > figs <8384 t@>en > on the fig <8384 t@>en > tree ,  and the leaf <5929 <aleh > shall fade <5034 nabel > ;  and  [ the things that ]  I have given <5414 nathan > them shall pass <5674 <abar > away from them .

 : 14 Why do we sit <3427 yashab > still ?  assemble <0622 >acaph > yourselves ,  and let us enter <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the defenced <4013 mibtsar > cities <5892 <iyr > ,  and let us be silent <1826 damam > there <8033 sham > : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > hath put us to silence <1826 damam > ,  and given us water <4325 mayim > of gall <7219 ro>sh > to drink <8248 shaqah > ,  because <3588 kiy > we have sinned <2398 chata> > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 15 We looked <6960 qavah > for peace <7965 shalowm > ,  but no <0369 >ayin > good <2896 towb >  [ came ;  and ]  for a time <6256 <eth > of health <4832 marpe> > ,  and behold <2009 hinneh > trouble <1205 b@<athah > !

 : 16 The snorting <5170 nachar > of his horses <5483 cuwc > was heard <8085 shama< > from Dan <1835 Dan > : the whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > trembled <7493 ra<ash > at the sound <6963 qowl > of the neighing <4684 matshalah > of his strong <47> ones ;  for they are come <0935 bow> > ,  and have devoured <0398 >akal > the land <0776 >erets > ,  and all <4393 m@lo> > that is in it ;  the city <5892 <iyr > ,  and those that dwell <3427 yashab > therein .

 : 17 For ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  I will send <7971 shalach > serpents <5175 nachash > ,  cockatrices <6848 tsepha< > ,  among you ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ will ]  not  [ be ]  charmed <3908 lachash > ,  and they shall bite <5391 nashak > you ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 18  [ When ]  I would comfort <4010 mabliygiyth > myself against sorrow <3015 yagown > ,  my heart <3820 leb >  [ is ]  faint <1742 davvay > in me .

 : 19 Behold <2009 hinneh > the voice <6963 qowl > of the cry <7775 shav<ah > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am > because of them that dwell in a far <4801 merchaq > country <0776 >erets > :  [ Is ]  not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ?   [ is ]  not her king <4428 melek > in her ?  Why <4069 madduwa< > have they provoked me to anger <3707 ka<ac > with their graven <6456 p@ciyl > images ,   [ and ]  with strange <5236 nekar > vanities <1892 hebel > ?

 : 20 The harvest <7105 qatsiyr > is past <5674 <abar > ,  the summer <7019 qayits > is ended <3615 kalah > ,  and we are not saved <3467 yasha< > .

 : 21 For the hurt <7667 sheber > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am > am I hurt <7665 shabar > ;  I am black <6937 qadar > ;  astonishment <8047 shammah > hath taken <2388 chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > on me .

 : 22  [ Is there ]  no <0369 >ayin > balm <6875 ts@riy > in Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > ;   [ is there ]  no <0369 >ayin > physician <7495 rapha> > there ?  why <4069 madduwa< > then <3588 kiy > is not the health <0724 >aruwkah > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am > recovered <5927 <alah > ?

 : Jeremiah 9

 : 01 .  Oh that my head <7218 ro>sh > were waters <4325 mayim > ,  and mine eyes <5869 <ayin > a fountain <4726 maqowr > of tears <1832 dim<ah > ,  that I might weep <1058 bakah > day <3119 yowmam > and night <3915 layil > for the slain <2491 chalal > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am > !

 : 02 Oh that I had in the wilderness <4057 midbar > a lodging <4411 malown > place of wayfaring <0732 >arach > men ;  that I might leave <5800 <azab > my people <5971 <am > ,  and go <3212 yalak > from them !  for they  [ be ]  all <3605 kol > adulterers <5003 na>aph > ,  an assembly <6116 <atsarah > of treacherous <0898 bagad > men .

 : 03 And they bend <1869 darak > their tongues <3956 lashown >  [ like ]  their bow <7198 qesheth >  [ for ]  lies <8267 sheqer > : but they are not valiant <1396 gabar > for the truth <0530 >emuwnah > upon the earth <0776 >erets > ;  for they proceed <3318 yatsa> > from evil <7451 ra< > to evil <7451 ra< > ,  and they know <3045 yada< > not me ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 04 Take ye heed <8104 shamar > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > of hisneighbour <7453 rea< > ,  and trust <0982 batach > ye not in any <3605 kol > brother <0251 >ach > : for every <3605 kol > brother <0251 >ach > will utterly supplant <6117 <aqab > ,  and every <3605 kol > neighbour <7453 rea< > will walk <1980 halak > with slanders <7400 rakiyl > .

 : 05 And they will deceive <2048 hathal > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > his neighbour <7453 rea< > ,  and will not speak <1696 dabar > the truth <0571 >emeth > : they have taught <3925 lamad > their tongue <3956 lashown > to speak <1696 dabar > lies <8267 sheqer > ,   [ and ]  weary <3811 la>ah > themselves to commit <5753 <avah > iniquity <5753 <avah > .

 : 06 Thine habitation <3427 yashab >  [ is ]  in the midst <8432 tavek > of deceit <4820 mirmah > ;  through deceit <4820 mirmah > they refuse <3985 ma>en > to know <3045 yada< > me ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 07 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will melt <6884 tsaraph > them ,  and try <0974 bachan > them ;  for how <0349 >eyk > shall I do <6213 <asah > for the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am > ?

 : 08 Their tongue <3956 lashown >  [ is as ]  an arrow <2671 chets > shot <7819 shachat > out ;  it speaketh <1696 dabar > deceit <4820 mirmah > :  [ one ]  speaketh <1696 dabar > peaceably <7965 shalowm > to his neighbour <7453 rea< > with his mouth <6310 peh > ,  but in heart <7130 qereb > he layeth <7760 suwm > his wait <0696 >oreb > .

 : 09 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > them for these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : shall not my soul <5315 nephesh > be avenged <5358 naqam > on such <0834 >aher > a nation <1471 gowy > as this <2088 zeh > ?

 : 10 For the mountains <2022 har > will I take <5375 nasa> > up a weeping <1065 B@kiy > and wailing <5092 n@hiy > ,  and for the habitations <4999 na>ah > of the wilderness <4057 midbar > a lamentation <7015 qiynah > ,  because <3588 kiy > they are burned <3341 yatsath > up ,  so that none can <3201 yakol > pass <5674 <abar > through  [ them ]  ;  neither <3808 lo> > can <3201 yakol >  [ men ]  hear <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the cattle <4735 miqneh > ;  both the fowl <5775 <owph > of the heavens <8064 shamayim > and the beast <0929 b@hemah > are fled <5074 nadad > ;  they are gone <1980 halak > .

 : 11 And I will make <5414 nathan > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > heaps <1530 gal > ,   [ and ]  a den <4583 ma<own > of dragons <8577 tanniyn > ;  and I will make <5414 nathan > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > desolate <8077 sh@mamah > ,  without <1097 b@liy > an inhabitant <3427 yashab > .

 : 12 .  Who <4310 miy >  [ is ]  the wise <2450 chakam > man <0376 >iysh > ,  that may understand <0995 biyn > this <2063 zo>th > ?  and  [ who is he ]  to whom <0834 >aher > the mouth <6310 peh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > ,  that he may declare <5046 nagad > it ,  for what <4100 mah > the land <0776 >erets > perisheth <6>  [ and ]  is burned <3341 yatsath > up like a wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  that none <1997 Hamownah > passeth <5674 <abar > through ?

 : 13 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saith <0559 >amar > ,  Because <5921 <al > they have forsaken <5800 <azab > my law <8451 towrah > which <0834 >aher > I set <5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym > them ,  and have not obeyed <8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl > ,  neither <3808 lo> > walked <1980 halak > therein ;

 : 14 But have walked <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of their own heart <3820 leb > ,  and after <0310 >achar > Baalim <1168 Ba<al > ,  which <0834 >aher > their fathers <1> taught <3925 lamad > them :

 : 15 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will feed <0398 >akal > them ,   [ even ]  this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ,  with wormwood <3939 la<anah > ,  and give them water <4325 mayim > of gall <7219 ro>sh > to drink <8248 shaqah > .

 : 16 I will scatter <6327 puwts > them also among the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  whom <0834 >aher > neither <3808 lo> > they nor their fathers <1> have known <3045 yada< > : and I will send <7971 shalach > a sword <2719 chereb > after <0310 >achar > them ,  till <5704 <ad > I have consumed <3615 kalah > them .

 : 17 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  Consider <0995 biyn > ye ,  and call <7121 qara> > for the mourning <6969 quwn > women ,  that they may come <0935 bow> > ;  and send <7971 shalach > for cunning <2450 chakam >  [ women ]  ,  that they may come <0935 bow> > :

 : 18 And let them make haste <4116 mahar > ,  and take <5375 nasa> > up a wailing <5092 n@hiy > for us ,  that our eyes <5869 <ayin > may run <3381 yarad > down with tears <1832 dim<ah > ,  and our eyelids <6079 <aph<aph > gush <5140 nazal > out with waters <4325 mayim > .

 : 19 For a voice <6963 qowl > of wailing <5092 n@hiy > is heard <8085 shama< > out of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ,  How <0349 >eyk > are we spoiled <7703 shadad > !  we are greatly <3966 m@<od > confounded <0954 buwsh > ,  because <3588 kiy > we have forsaken <5800 <azab > the land <0776 >erets > ,  because <3588 kiy > our dwellings <4908 mishkan > have cast <7993 shalak >  [ us ]  out .

 : 20 Yet <3588 kiy > hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  O ye women <0802 >ishshah > ,  and let your ear <0241 >ozen > receive <3947 laqach > the word <1697 dabar > of his mouth <6310 peh > ,  and teach <3925 lamad > your daughters <1121 ben > wailing <5092 n@hiy > ,  and every <0802 >ishshah > one her neighbour <7468 r@<uwth > lamentation <7015 qiynah > .

 : 21 For death <4194 maveth > is come <5927 <alah > up into our windows <2474 challown > ,   [ and ]  is entered <0935 bow> > into our palaces <0759 >armown > ,  to cut <3772 karath > off the children <5768 <owlel > from without <2351 chuwts > ,   [ and ]  the young <0970 bachuwr > men from the streets <7339 r@chob > .

 : 22 Speak <1696 dabar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Even the carcases <5038 n@belah > of men <0120 >adam > shall fall <5307 naphal > as dung <1828 domen > upon the open <6440 paniym > field <7704 sadeh > ,  and as the handful <5995 <amiyr > after <0310 >achar > the harvestman <7114 qatsar > ,  and none <0369 >ayin > shall gather <0622 >acaph >  [ them ]  .

 : 23 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Let not the wise <2450 chakam >  [ man ]  glory <1984 halal > in his wisdom <2451 chokmah > ,  neither <0408 >al > let the mighty <1368 gibbowr >  [ man ]  glory <1984 halal > in his might <1369 g@buwrah > ,  let not the rich <6223 <ashiyr >  [ man ]  glory <1984 halal > in his riches <6239 <osher > :

 : 24 But let him that glorieth <1984 halal > glory <1984 halal > in this <2063 zo>th > ,  that he understandeth <7919 sakal > and knoweth <3045 yada< > me ,  that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > which exercise <6213 <asah > lovingkindness <2617 checed > ,  judgment <4941 mishpat > ,  and righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > ,  in the earth <0776 >erets > : for in these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  I delight <2654 chaphets > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 25 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow> > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that I will punish <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol >  [ them which are ]  circumcised <4135 muwl > with the uncircumcised <6190 <orlah > ;

 : 26 Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  and the children <1121 ben > of Ammon <5983 <Ammown > ,  and Moab <4124 Mow>ab > ,  and all <3605 kol >  [ that are ]  in the utmost <7112 qatsats > corners <6285 pe>ah > ,  that dwell <3427 yashab > in the wilderness <4057 midbar > : for all <3605 kol >  [ these ]  nations <1471 gowy >  [ are ]  uncircumcised <6189 <arel > ,  and all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ are ]  uncircumcised <6189 <arel > in the heart <3820 leb > .

 : Jeremiah 10

 : 01 .  Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > speaketh <1696 dabar > unto you ,  O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > :

 : 02 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Learn <3925 lamad > not the way <1870 derek > of the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  and be not dismayed <2865 chathath > at the signs <0226 >owth > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ;  for the heathen <1471 gowy > are dismayed <2865 chathath > at them .

 : 03 For the customs <2708 chuqqah > of the people <5971 <am >  [ are ]  vain <1892 hebel > : for  [ one ]  cutteth <3772 karath > a tree <6086 <ets > out of the forest <3293 ya<ar > ,  the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the hands <3027 yad > of the workman <2796 charash > ,  with the axe <4621 ma<atsad > .

 : 04 They deck <3302 yaphah > it with silver <3701 keceph > and with gold <2091 zahab > ;  they fasten <2388 chazaq > it with nails <4548 macmer > and with hammers <4717 maqqabah > ,  that it move <6328 puwq > not .

 : 05 They  [ are ]  upright <4749 miqshah > as the palm <8560 tomer > tree ,  but speak <1696 dabar > not : they must needs be borne <5375 nasa> > ,  because <3588 kiy > they cannot <3808 lo> > go <6805 tsa<ad > .  Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of them ;  for they cannot <3808 lo> > do evil <7489 ra<a< > ,  neither also <1571 gam >  [ is it ]  in them to do good <3190 yatab > .

 : 06 Forasmuch as  [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > like <3644 k@mow > unto thee ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  thou  [ art ]  great <1419 gadowl > ,  and thy name <8034 shem >  [ is ]  great <1419 gadowl > in might <1369 g@buwrah > .

 : 07 Who <4310 miy > would not fear <3372 yare> > thee ,  O King <4428 melek > of nations <1471 gowy > ?  for to thee doth it appertain <2969 ya>ah > : forasmuch as among all <3605 kol > the wise <2450 chakam >  [ men ]  of the nations <1471 gowy > ,  and in all <3605 kol > their kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > ,   [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > like <3644 k@mow > unto thee .

 : 08 But they are altogether <0259 >echad > brutish <1197 ba<ar > and foolish <3688 kacal > : the stock <6086 <ets >  [ is ]  a doctrine <4148 muwcar > of vanities <1892 hebel > .

 : 09 Silver <3701 keceph > spread <7554 raqa< > into plates is brought <0935 bow> > from Tarshish <8659 Tarshiysh > ,  and gold <2091 zahab > from Uphaz <0210 >Uwphaz > ,  the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the workman <2796 charash > ,  and of the hands <3027 yad > of the founder <6884 tsaraph > : blue <8504 t@keleth > and purple <0713 >argaman >  [ is ]  their clothing <3830 l@buwsh > : they  [ are ]  all <3605 kol > the work <4639 ma<aseh > of cunning <2450 chakam >  [ men ]  .

 : 10 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ is ]  the true <0571 >emeth > God <0430 >elohiym > ,  he  [ is ]  the living <2416 chay > God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and an everlasting <5769 <owlam > king <4428 melek > : at his wrath <7110 qetseph > the earth <0776 >erets > shall tremble <7493 ra<ash > ,  and the nations <1471 gowy > shall not be able <3201 yakol > to abide <3557 kuwl > his indignation <2195 za<am > .

 : 11 Thus <1836 den > shall ye say <0560 >amar > unto them ,  The gods <0426 >elahh > that have not made <5648 <abad > the heavens <8065 shamayin > and the earth <0778 >araq > ,   [ even ]  they shall perish <7> from the earth <0772 >ara< > ,  and from under <8460 t@chowth > these <0429 >elleh > heavens <8065 shamayin > .

 : 12 He hath made <6213 <asah > the earth <0776 >erets > by his power <3581 koach > ,  he hath established <3559 kuwn > the world <8398 tebel > by his wisdom <2451 chokmah > ,  and hath stretched <5186 natah > out the heavens <8064 shamayim > by his discretion <8394 tabuwn > .

 : 13 When he uttereth <5414 nathan > his voice <6963 qowl > ,   [ there is ]  a multitude <1995 hamown > of waters <4325 mayim > in the heavens <8064 shamayim > ,  and he causeth the vapours <5387 nasiy> > to ascend <5927 <alah > from the ends <7097 qatseh > of the earth <0776 >erets > ;  he maketh <6213 <asah > lightnings <1300 baraq > with rain <4306 matar > ,  and bringeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > the wind <7307 ruwach > out of his treasures <0214 >owtsar > .

 : 14 Every <3605 kol > man <0120 >adam > is brutish <1197 ba<ar > in  [ his ]  knowledge <1847 da<ath > : every <3605 kol > founder <6884 tsaraph > is confounded <3001 yabesh > by the graven <6459 pecel > image <6459 pecel > : for his molten <5262 necek > image  [ is ]  falsehood <8267 sheqer > ,  and  [ there is ]  no <3808 lo> > breath <7307 ruwach > in them .

 : 15 They  [ are ]  vanity <1892 hebel > ,   [ and ]  the work <4639 ma<aseh > of errors <8595 ta<tua< > : in the time <6256 <eth > of their visitation <6486 p@quddah > they shall perish <6> .

 : 16 The portion <2506 cheleq > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >  [ is ]  not like them : for he  [ is ]  the former <3335 yatsar > of all <3605 kol >  [ things ]  ;  and Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ is ]  the rod <7626 shebet > of his inheritance <5159 nachalah > : The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >  [ is ]  his name <8034 shem > .

 : 17 .  Gather <0622 >acaph > up thy wares <3666 kin<ah > out of the land <0776 >erets > ,  O inhabitant <3427 yashab > of the fortress <4693 matsowr > .

 : 18 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will sling <7049 qala< > out the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets > at this <2063 zo>th > once <6471 pa<am > ,  and will distress <6887 tsarar > them ,  that they may find <4672 matsa> >  [ it so ]  .

 : 19 Woe <0188 >owy > is me for my hurt <7667 sheber > !  my wound <4347 makkah > is grievous <2470 chalah > : but I said <0559 >amar > ,  Truly <0389 >ak > this <2088 zeh >  [ is ]  a grief <2483 choliy > ,  and I must bear <5375 nasa> > it .

 : 20 My tabernacle <0168 >ohel > is spoiled <7703 shadad > ,  and all <3605 kol > my cords <4340 meythar > are broken <5423 nathaq > : my children <1121 ben > are gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > of me ,  and they  [ are ]  not :  [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > to stretch <5186 natah > forth my tent <0168 >ohel > any more <5750 <owd > ,  and to set <6965 quwm > up my curtains <3407 y@riy<ah > .

 : 21 For the pastors <7462 ra<ah > are become <1197 ba<ar > brutish <1197 ba<ar > ,  and have not sought <1875 darash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : therefore they shall not prosper <7919 sakal > ,  and all <3605 kol > their flocks <4830 mir<iyth > shall be scattered <6327 puwts > .

 : 22 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the noise <6963 qowl > of the bruit <8052 sh@muw<ah > is come <0935 bow> > ,  and a great <1419 gadowl > commotion <7494 ra<ash > out of the north <6828 tsaphown > country <0776 >erets > ,  to make <7760 suwm > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > desolate <8077 sh@mamah > ,   [ and ]  a den <4583 ma<own > of dragons <8577 tanniyn > .

 : 23 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  I know <3045 yada< > that the way <1870 derek > of man <0120 >adam >  [ is ]  not in himself :  [ it is ]  not in man that walketh <1980 halak > to direct <3559 kuwn > his steps <6806 tsa<ad > .

 : 24 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  correct <3256 yacar > me ,  but with judgment <4941 mishpat > ;  not in thine anger <0639 >aph > ,  lest <6435 pen > thou bring me to nothing <4591 ma<at > .

 : 25 Pour <8210 shaphak > out thy fury <2534 chemah > upon the heathen <1471 gowy > that know <3045 yada< > thee not ,  and upon the families <4940 mishpachah > that call <7121 qara> > not on thy name <8034 shem > : for they have eaten <0398 >akal > up Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  and devoured <0398 >akal > him ,  and consumed <3615 kalah > him ,  and have made his habitation <5116 naveh > desolate <8074 shamem > .

 : Jeremiah 11

 : 01 .  The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 02 Hear <8085 shama< > ye the words <1697 dabar > of this <2088 zeh > covenant <1285 b@riyth > ,  and speak <1696 dabar > unto the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and to the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ;

 : 03 And say <0559 >amar > thou unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  Cursed <0779 >arar >  [ be ]  the man <0376 >iysh > that obeyeth <8085 shama< > not the words <1697 dabar > of this <2088 zeh > covenant <1285 b@riyth > ,

 : 04 Which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > your fathers <1> in the day <3117 yowm >  [ that ]  I brought <3318 yatsa> > them forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  from the iron <1270 barzel > furnace <3564 kuwr > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Obey <8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl > ,  and do <6213 <asah > them ,  according to all <3605 kol > which <0834 >aher > I command <6680 tsavah > you : so shall ye be my people <5971 <am > ,  and I will be your God <0430 >elohiym > :

 : 05 That I may perform <6965 quwm > the oath <7621 sh@buw<ah > which <0834 >aher > I have sworn <7650 shaba< > unto your fathers <1> ,  to give <5414 nathan > them a land <0776 >erets > flowing <2100 zuwb > with milk <2461 chalab > and honey <1706 d@bash > ,  as  [ it is ]  this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > .  Then answered <6030 <anah > I ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  So <0543 >amen > be it ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 06 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Proclaim <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > words <1697 dabar > in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and in the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Hear <8085 shama< > ye the words <1697 dabar > of this <2088 zeh > covenant <1285 b@riyth > ,  and do <6213 <asah > them .

 : 07 For I earnestly protested <5749 <uwd > unto your fathers <1> in the day <3117 yowm >  [ that ]  I brought <5927 <alah > them up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,   [ even ]  unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > ,  rising <7925 shakam > early <7925 shakam > and protesting <5749 <uwd > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Obey <8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl > .

 : 08 Yet they obeyed <8085 shama< > not ,  nor <3808 lo> > inclined <5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen > ,  but walked <3212 yalak > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > in the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of their evil <7451 ra< > heart <3820 leb > : therefore I will bring <0935 bow> > upon them all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > of this <2088 zeh > covenant <1285 b@riyth > ,  which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah >  [ them ]  to do <6213 <asah > ;  but they did <6213 <asah >  [ them ]  not .

 : 09 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  A conspiracy <7195 qesher > is found <4672 matsa> > among the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and among the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

 : 10 They are turned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > to the iniquities <5771 <avon > of their forefathers ,  which <0834 >aher > refused <3985 ma>en > to hear <8085 shama< > my words <1697 dabar > ;  and they went <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > to serve <5647 <abad > them : the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have broken <6565 parar > my covenant <1285 b@riyth > which <0834 >aher > I made <3772 karath > with their fathers <1> .

 : 11 .  Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra< > upon them ,  which <0834 >aher > they shall not be able <3201 yakol > to escape <3318 yatsa> > ;  and though they shall cry <2199 za<aq > unto me ,  I will not hearken <8085 shama< > unto them .

 : 12 Then shall the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > go <1980 halak > ,  and cry <2199 za<aq > unto the gods <0430 >elohiym > unto whom they offer incense <6999 qatar > : but they shall not save <3467 yasha< > them at all in the time <6256 <eth > of their trouble <7451 ra< > .

 : 13 For  [ according to ]  the number <4557 micpar > of thy cities <5892 <iyr > were thy gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  O Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ;  and  [ according to ]  the number <4557 micpar > of the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > have ye set <7760 suwm > up altars <4196 mizbeach > to  [ that ]  shameful <1322 bosheth > thing ,   [ even ]  altars <4196 mizbeach > to burn <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto Baal <1168 Ba<al > .

 : 14 Therefore pray <6419 palal > not thou for this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ,  neither <0408 >al > lift <5375 nasa> > up a cry <7440 rinnah > or prayer <8605 t@phillah > for them : for I will not hear <8085 shama< >  [ them ]  in the time <6256 <eth > that they cry <7121 qara> > unto me for their trouble <7451 ra< > .

 : 15 What <4100 mah > hath my beloved <3039 y@diyd > to do in mine house <1004 bayith > ,   [ seeing ]  she hath wrought <6213 <asah > lewdness <4209 m@zimmah > with many <7227 rab > ,  and the holy <6944 qodesh > flesh <1320 basar > is passed <5674 <abar > from thee ?  when <3588 kiy > thou doest evil <7451 ra< > ,  then <0227 >az > thou rejoicest <5937 <alaz > .

 : 16 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > called <7121 qara> > thy name <8034 shem > ,  A green <7488 ra<anan > olive <2132 zayith > tree ,  fair <3303 yapheh > ,   [ and ]  of goodly fruit <6529 p@riy > : with the noise <6963 qowl > of a great <1419 gadowl > tumult <1999 hamullah > he hath kindled <3341 yatsath > fire <0784 >esh > upon it ,  and the branches <1808 daliyah > of it are broken <7489 ra<a< > .

 : 17 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  that planted <5193 nata< > thee ,  hath pronounced <1696 dabar > evil <7451 ra< > against <5921 <al > thee ,  for the evil <7451 ra< > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and of the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  which <0834 >aher > they have done <6213 <asah > against themselves <1992 hem > to provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac > in offering incense <6999 qatar > unto Baal <1168 Ba<al > .

 : 18 .  And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath given me knowledge <3045 yada< >  [ of it ]  ,  and I know <3045 yada< >  [ it ]  : then <0227 >az > thou shewedst <7200 ra>ah > me their doings <4611 ma<alal > .

 : 19 But I  [ was ]  like a lamb <3532 kebes >  [ or ]  an ox <0441 >alluwph >  [ that ]  is brought <2986 yabal > to the slaughter <2873 tabach > ;  and I knew <3045 yada< > not that they had devised <2803 chashab > devices <4284 machashabah > against <5921 <al > me ,   [ saying ]  ,  Let us destroy <7843 shachath > the tree <6086 <ets > with the fruit <3899 lechem > thereof ,  and let us cut <3772 karath > him off from the land <0776 >erets > of the living <2416 chay > ,  that his name <8034 shem > may be no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > remembered <2142 zakar > .

 : 20 But ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  that judgest <8199 shaphat > righteously <6664 tsedeq > ,  that triest <0974 bachan > the reins <3629 kilyah > and the heart <3820 leb > ,  let me see <7200 ra>ah > thy vengeance <5360 n@qamah > on them : for unto thee have I revealed <1540 galah > my cause <7379 riyb > .

 : 21 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of the men <0582 >enowsh > of Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > ,  that seek <1245 baqash > thy life <5315 nephesh > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Prophesy <5012 naba> > not in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that thou die <4191 muwth > not by our hand <3027 yad > :

 : 22 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will punish <6485 paqad > them : the young <0970 bachuwr > men shall die <4191 muwth > by the sword <2719 chereb > ;  their sons <1121 ben > and their daughters <1121 ben > shall die <4191 muwth > by famine <7458 ra<ab > :

 : 23 And there shall be no <3808 lo> > remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of them : for I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra< > upon the men <0582 >enowsh > of Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > ,   [ even ]  the year <8141 shaneh > of their visitation <6486 p@quddah > .

 : Jeremiah 12

 : 01 .  Righteous <6662 tsaddiyq >  [ art ]  thou ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  when <3588 kiy > I plead <7378 riyb > with thee : yet <0389 >ak > let me talk <1696 dabar > with thee of  [ thy ]  judgments <4941 mishpat > : Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > doth the way <1870 derek > of the wicked <7563 rasha< > prosper <6743 tsalach > ?   [ wherefore ]  are all <3605 kol > they happy <7951 shalah > that deal very <0899 beged > treacherously <0898 bagad > ?

 : 02 Thou hast planted <5193 nata< > them ,  yea <1571 gam > ,  they have taken root <8327 sharash > : they grow <3212 yalak > ,  yea <1571 gam > ,  they bring <6213 <asah > forth <6213 <asah > fruit <6529 p@riy > : thou  [ art ]  near <7138 qarowb > in their mouth <6310 peh > ,  and far <7350 rachowq > from their reins <3629 kilyah > .

 : 03 But thou ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  knowest <3045 yada< > me : thou hast seen <7200 ra>ah > me ,  and tried <0974 bachan > mine heart <3820 leb > toward <0854 >eth > thee : pull <5423 nathaq > them out like sheep <6629 tso>n > for the slaughter <2873 tabach > ,  and prepare <6942 qadash > them for the day <3117 yowm > of slaughter <2028 haregah > .

 : 04 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > shall the land <0776 >erets > mourn <56> ,  and the herbs <6212 <eseb > of every <3605 kol > field <7704 sadeh > wither <3001 yabesh > ,  for the wickedness <7451 ra< > of them that dwell <3427 yashab > therein ?  the beasts <0929 b@hemah > are consumed <5595 caphah > ,  and the birds <5775 <owph > ;  because <3588 kiy > they said <0559 >amar > ,  He shall not see <7200 ra>ah > our last <0319 >achariyth > end .

 : 05 If <3588 kiy > thou hast run <7323 ruwts > with the footmen <7273 ragliy > ,  and they have wearied <3811 la>ah > thee ,  then how <0349 >eyk > canst thou contend <8474 tacharah > with horses <5483 cuwc > ?  and  [ if ]  in the land <0776 >erets > of peace <7965 shalowm > ,   [ wherein ]  thou trustedst <0982 batach > ,   [ they wearied thee ]  ,  then how <0349 >eyk > wilt thou do <6213 <asah > in the swelling <1347 ga>own > of Jordan <3383 Yarden > ?

 : 06 For even <1571 gam > thy brethren <0251 >ach > ,  and the house <1004 bayith > of thy father <1> ,  even <1571 gam > they have dealt treacherously <0898 bagad > with thee ;  yea <1571 gam > ,  they have called <7121 qara> > a multitude <4392 male> > after <0310 >achar > thee : believe <0539 >aman > them not ,  though <3588 kiy > they speak <1696 dabar > fair <2896 towb > words unto thee .

 : 07 .  I have forsaken <5800 <azab > mine house <1004 bayith > ,  I have left <5203 natash > mine heritage <5159 nachalah > ;  I have given <5414 nathan > the dearly beloved <3039 y@diyd > of my soul <5315 nephesh > into the hand <3709 kaph > of her enemies <0341 >oyeb > .

 : 08 Mine heritage <5159 nachalah > is unto me as a lion <0738 >ariy > in the forest <3293 ya<ar > ;  it crieth out against <5921 <al > me : therefore have I hated <8130 sane> > it .

 : 09 Mine heritage <5159 nachalah >  [ is ]  unto me  [ as ]  a speckled <6641 tsabuwa< > bird <5861 <ayit > ,  the birds <5861 <ayit > round <5439 cabiyb > about  [ are ]  against <5921 <al > her ;  come <3212 yalak > ye ,  assemble <0622 >acaph > all <3605 kol > the beasts <2416 chay > of the field <7704 sadeh > ,  come <0857 >athah > to devour <0402 >oklah > .

 : 10 Many <7227 rab > pastors <7462 ra<ah > have destroyed <7843 shachath > my vineyard <3754 kerem > ,  they have trodden <0947 buwc > my portion <2513 chelqah > under foot <0947 buwc > ,  they have made <5414 nathan > my pleasant <2532 chemdah > portion <2513 chelqah > a desolate <8077 sh@mamah > wilderness <4057 midbar > .

 : 11 They have made <7760 suwm > it desolate <8074 shamem > ,   [ and being ]  desolate <8077 sh@mamah > it mourneth <56> unto me ;  the whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > is made desolate <8074 shamem > ,  because <3588 kiy > no <0369 >ayin > man <0376 >iysh > layeth <7760 suwm >  [ it ]  to heart <3820 leb > .

 : 12 The spoilers <7703 shadad > are come <0935 bow> > upon all <3605 kol > high <8205 sh@phiy > places through the wilderness <4057 midbar > : for the sword <2719 chereb > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall devour <0398 >akal > from the  [ one ]  end <7097 qatseh > of the land <0776 >erets > even to the  [ other ]  end <7097 qatseh > of the land <0776 >erets > : no <0369 >ayin > flesh <1320 basar > shall have peace <7965 shalowm > .

 : 13 They have sown <2232 zara< > wheat <2406 chittah > ,  but shall reap <7114 qatsar > thorns <6975 qowts > : they have put themselves to pain <2470 chalah > ,   [ but ]  shall not profit <3276 ya<al > : and they shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh > of your revenues <8393 t@buw>ah > because of the fierce <2740 charown > anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 14 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > mine evil <7451 ra< > neighbours <7934 shaken > ,  that touch <5060 naga< > the inheritance <5159 nachalah > which <0834 >aher > I have caused my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to inherit <5157 nachal > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will pluck <5428 nathash > them out of their land <0127 >adamah > ,  and pluck <5428 nathash > out the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > from among <8432 tavek > them .

 : 15 And it shall come to pass ,  after <0310 >achar > that I have plucked <5428 nathash > them out I will return <7725 shuwb > ,  and have compassion <7355 racham > on them ,  and will bring <7725 shuwb > them again <7725 shuwb > ,  every man <0376 >iysh > to his heritage <5159 nachalah > ,  and every man <0376 >iysh > to his land <0776 >erets > .

 : 16 And it shall come to pass ,  if <0518 >im > they will diligently learn <3925 lamad > the ways <1870 derek > of my people <5971 <am > ,  to swear <7650 shaba< > by my name <8034 shem > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ;  as they taught <3925 lamad > my people <5971 <am > to swear <7650 shaba< > by Baal <1168 Ba<al > ;  then shall they be built <1129 banah > in the midst <8432 tavek > of my people <5971 <am > .

 : 17 But if <0518 >im > they will not obey <8085 shama< > ,  I will utterly pluck <5428 nathash > up and destroy <6> that nation <1471 gowy > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : Jeremiah 13

 : 01 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me ,  Go <1980 halak > and get <7069 qanah > thee a linen <6593 pishteh > girdle <0232 >ezowr > ,  and put <7760 suwm > it upon thy loins <4975 mothen > ,  and put <7760 suwm > it not in water <4325 mayim > .

 : 02 So I got <7069 qanah > a girdle <0232 >ezowr > according to the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and put <7760 suwm >  [ it ]  on <5921 <al > my loins <4975 mothen > .

 : 03 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me the second <8145 sheniy > time ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 04 Take <3947 laqach > the girdle <0232 >ezowr > that thou hast got <7069 qanah > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ is ]  upon thy loins <4975 mothen > ,  and arise <6965 quwm > ,  go <3212 yalak > to Euphrates <6578 P@rath > ,  and hide <2934 taman > it there <8033 sham > in a hole <5357 naqiyq > of the rock .

 : 05 So I went <3212 yalak > ,  and hid <2934 taman > it by Euphrates <6578 P@rath > ,  as the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded <6680 tsavah > me .

 : 06 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <7093 qets > many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm > ,  that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Arise <6965 quwm > ,  go <3212 yalak > to Euphrates <6578 P@rath > ,  and take <3947 laqach > the girdle <0232 >ezowr > from thence <8033 sham > ,  which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > thee to hide <2934 taman > there <8033 sham > .

 : 07 Then I went <3212 yalak > to Euphrates <6578 P@rath > ,  and digged <2658 chaphar > ,  and took <3947 laqach > the girdle <0232 >ezowr > from the place <4725 maqowm > where I had hid <2934 taman > it : and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the girdle <0232 >ezowr > was marred <7843 shachath > ,  it was profitable <6743 tsalach > for nothing .

 : 08 Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 09 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  After <3602 kakah > this manner <3541 koh > will I mar <7843 shachath > the pride <1347 ga>own > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and the great <7227 rab > pride <1347 ga>own > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

 : 10 This <2088 zeh > evil <7451 ra< > people <5971 <am > ,  which refuse <3987 me>en > to hear <8085 shama< > my words <1697 dabar > ,  which walk <1980 halak > in the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of their heart <3820 leb > ,  and walk <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  to serve <5647 <abad > them ,  and to worship <7812 shachah > them ,  shall even be as this <2088 zeh > girdle <0232 >ezowr > ,  which <0834 >aher > is good <6743 tsalach > for nothing .

 : 11 For as the girdle <0232 >ezowr > cleaveth <1692 dabaq > to the loins <4975 mothen > of a man <0376 >iysh > ,  so <3651 ken > have I caused to cleave <1692 dabaq > unto me the whole <3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and the whole <3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  that they might be unto me for a people <5971 <am > ,  and for a name <8034 shem > ,  and for a praise <8416 t@hillah > ,  and for a glory <8597 tiph>arah > : but they would not hear <8085 shama< > .

 : 12 .  Therefore thou shalt speak <0559 >amar > unto them this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar > ;  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  Every <3605 kol > bottle <5035 nebel > shall be filled <4390 male> > with wine <3196 yayin > : and they shall say <0559 >amar > unto thee ,  Do we not certainly know <3045 yada< > that every <3605 kol > bottle <5035 nebel > shall be filled <4390 male> > with wine <3196 yayin > ?

 : 13 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will fill <5433 caba> > all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of this land <0776 >erets > ,  even the kings <4428 melek > that sit <3427 yashab > upon David s <1732 David > throne <3678 kicce> > ,  and the priests <3548 kohen > ,  and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  and all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  with drunkenness <7943 shikkarown > .

 : 14 And I will dash <5310 naphats > them one <0376 >iysh > against <0413 >el > another <0250 >Ezrachiy > ,  even the fathers <1> and the sons <1121 ben > together <3162 yachad > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : I will not pity <2550 chamal > ,  nor <3808 lo> > spare <2347 chuwc > ,  nor <3808 lo> > have mercy <7355 racham > ,  but destroy <7843 shachath > them .

 : 15 Hear <8085 shama< > ye ,  and give ear <0238 >azan > ;  be not proud <1341 ge> > : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > .

 : 16 Give <5414 nathan > glory <3519 kabowd > to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > ,  before <2962 terem > he cause darkness <2821 chashak > ,  and before <2962 terem > your feet <7272 regel > stumble <5062 nagaph > upon the dark <5399 nesheph > mountains <2022 har > ,  and ,  while ye look <6960 qavah > for light <0216 >owr > ,  he turn <7760 suwm > it into the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth > ,   [ and ]  make <7896 shiyth >  [ it ]  gross <6205 <araphel > darkness <6205 <araphel > .

 : 17 But if <0518 >im > ye will not hear <8085 shama< > it ,  my soul <5315 nephesh > shall weep <1058 bakah > in secret <4565 mictar > places for  [ your ]  pride <1466 gevah > ;  and mine eye <5869 <ayin > shall weep <1830 dama< > sore ,  and run <3381 yarad > down with tears <1832 dim<ah > ,  because <3588 kiy > the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > flock <5739 <eder > is carried <7617 shabah > away captive <7617 shabah > .

 : 18 Say <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > and to the queen <1377 g@biyrah > ,  Humble <8213 shaphel > yourselves ,  sit <3427 yashab > down : for your principalities <4761 mar>ashah > shall come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > ,   [ even ]  the crown <5850 <atarah > of your glory <8597 tiph>arah > .

 : 19 The cities <5892 <iyr > of the south <5045 negeb > shall be shut <5462 cagar > up ,  and none <0369 >ayin > shall open <6605 pathach >  [ them ]  : Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall be carried <1540 galah > away captive <1540 galah > all <3605 kol > of it ,  it shall be wholly <7965 shalowm > carried <1540 galah > away captive <1540 galah > .

 : 20 Lift <5375 nasa> > up your eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and behold <7200 ra>ah > them that come <0935 bow> > from the north <6828 tsaphown > : where <0346 >ayeh >  [ is ]  the flock <5739 <eder >  [ that ]  was given <5414 nathan > thee ,  thy beautiful <8597 tiph>arah > flock <6629 tso>n > ?

 : 21 What <4100 mah > wilt thou say <0559 >amar > when <3588 kiy > he shall punish <6485 paqad > thee ?  for thou hast taught <3925 lamad > them  [ to be ]  captains <0441 >alluwph > ,   [ and ]  as chief <7218 ro>sh > over <5921 <al > thee : shall not sorrows <2256 chebel > take <0270 >achaz > thee ,  as a woman <0802 >ishshah > in travail <3205 yalad > ?

 : 22 .  And if <3588 kiy > thou say <0559 >amar > in thine heart <3824 lebab > ,  Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > come <7122 qara> > these <0428 >el - leh > things upon me ?  For the greatness <7230 rob > of thine iniquity <5771 <avon > are thy skirts <7757 shuwl > discovered <1540 galah > ,   [ and ]  thy heels <6119 <aqeb > made bare <2554 chamac > .

 : 23 Can the Ethiopian <3569 Kuwshiy > change <2015 haphak > his skin <5785 <owr > ,  or the leopard <5246 namer > his spots <2272 chabarburah > ?   [ then ]  may <3201 yakol > ye also <1571 gam > do good <3190 yatab > ,  that are accustomed <3928 limmuwd > to do evil <7489 ra<a< > .

 : 24 Therefore will I scatter <6327 puwts > them as the stubble <7179 qash > that passeth <5674 <abar > away by the wind <7307 ruwach > of the wilderness <4057 midbar > .

 : 25 This <2088 zeh >  [ is ]  thy lot <1486 gowral > ,  the portion <4490 manah > of thy measures <4055 mad > from me ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  because <0834 >aher > thou hast forgotten <7911 shakach > me ,  and trusted <0982 batach > in falsehood <8267 sheqer > .

 : 26 Therefore will I discover <2834 chasaph > thy skirts <7757 shuwl > upon thy face <6440 paniym > ,  that thy shame <7036 qalown > may appear <7200 ra>ah > .

 : 27 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > thine adulteries <5004 ni>uph > ,  and thy neighings <4684 matshalah > ,  the lewdness <2154 zimmah > of thy whoredom <2184 z@nuwth > ,   [ and ]  thine abominations <8251 shiqquwts > on <5921 <al > the hills <1389 gib<ah > in the fields <7704 sadeh > .  Woe <0188 >owy > unto thee ,  O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > !  wilt thou not be made clean <2891 taher > ?  when  [ shall it ]  once <5750 <owd >  [ be ]  ?

 : Jeremiah 14

 : 01 .  The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > concerning the dearth <1226 batstsoreth > .

 : 02 Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > mourneth <56> ,  and the gates <8179 sha<ar > thereof languish <0535 >amal > ;  they are black <6937 qadar > unto the ground <0776 >erets > ;  and the cry <6682 ts@vachah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > is gone <5927 <alah > up .

 : 03 And their nobles <0117 >addiyr > have sent <7971 shalach > their little <6810 tsa<iyr > ones to the waters <4325 mayim > : they came <0935 bow> > to the pits <1356 geb > ,   [ and ]  found <4672 matsa> > no <3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim > ;  they returned <7725 shuwb > with their vessels <3627 k@liy > empty <7387 reyqam > ;  they were ashamed <0954 buwsh > and confounded <3637 kalam > ,  and covered <2645 chaphah > their heads <7218 ro>sh > .

 : 04 Because <5668 <abuwr > the ground <0127 >adamah > is chapt <2865 chathath > ,  for there was no <3808 lo> > rain <1653 geshem > in the earth <0776 >erets > ,  the plowmen <0406 >ikkar > were ashamed <0954 buwsh > ,  they covered <2645 chaphah > their heads <7218 ro>sh > .

 : 05 Yea ,  the hind <0365 >ayeleth > also <1571 gam > calved <3205 yalad > in the field <7704 sadeh > ,  and forsook <5800 <azab >  [ it ]  ,  because <3588 kiy > there was no <3808 lo> > grass <1758 duwsh > .

 : 06 And the wild <6501 pere> > asses <6501 pere> > did stand <5975 <amad > in the high <8205 sh@phiy > places ,  they snuffed <7602 sha>aph > up the wind <7307 ruwach > like dragons <8577 tanniyn > ;  their eyes <5869 <ayin > did fail <3615 kalah > ,  because <3588 kiy >  [ there was ]  no <0369 >ayin > grass <6212 <eseb > .

 : 07 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  though <0518 >im > our iniquities <5771 <avon > testify <6030 <anah > against us ,  do <6213 <asah > thou  [ it ]  for thy name s <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma<an > : for our backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > are many <7231 rabab > ;  we have sinned <2398 chata> > against thee .

 : 08 O the hope <4723 miqveh > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  the saviour <3467 yasha< > thereof in time <6256 <eth > of trouble <6869 tsarah > ,  why <4100 mah > shouldest thou be as a stranger <1616 ger > in the land <0776 >erets > ,  and as a wayfaring <0732 >arach > man  [ that ]  turneth <5186 natah > aside <5186 natah > to tarry <3885 luwn > for a night ?

 : 09 Why <4100 mah > shouldest thou be as a man <0376 >iysh > astonied <1724 daham > ,  as a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man <0376 >iysh >  [ that ]  cannot save <3467 yasha< > ?  yet thou ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ art ]  in the midst <7130 qereb > of us ,  and we are called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem > ;  leave <3241 Yaniym > us not .

 : 10 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ,  Thus <3651 ken > have they loved <0157 >ahab > to wander <5128 nuwa< > ,  they have not refrained <2820 chasak > their feet <7272 regel > ,  therefore the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > doth not accept <7521 ratsah > them ;  he will now <4994 na> > remember <2142 zakar > their iniquity <5771 <avon > ,  and visit <6485 paqad > their sins <2403 chatta>ah > .

 : 11 Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me ,  Pray <6419 palal > not for this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > for  [ their ]  good <2896 towb > .

 : 12 When <3588 kiy > they fast <6684 tsuwm > ,  I will not hear <8085 shama< > their cry <7440 rinnah > ;  and when <3588 kiy > they offer <5927 <alah > burnt <5930 <olah > offering and an oblation <4503 minchah > ,  I will not accept <7521 ratsah > them : but I will consume <3615 kalah > them by the sword <2719 chereb > ,  and by the famine <7458 ra<ab > ,  and by the pestilence <1698 deber > .

 : 13 Then said <0559 >amar > I ,  Ah <0162 >ahahh > ,  Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > !  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the prophets <5030 nabiy> > say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Ye shall not see <7200 ra>ah > the sword <2719 chereb > ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall ye have famine <7458 ra<ab > ;  but I will give <5414 nathan > you assured <0571 >emeth > peace <7965 shalowm > in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > .

 : 14 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  The prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesy <5012 naba> > lies <8267 sheqer > in my name <8034 shem > : I sent <7971 shalach > them not ,  neither <3808 lo> > have I commanded <6680 tsavah > them ,  neither <3808 lo> > spake <1696 dabar > unto them : they prophesy <5012 naba> > unto you a false <8267 sheqer > vision <2377 chazown > and divination <7081 qecem > ,  and a thing of nought <0434 >eluwl > ,  and the deceit <8649 tormah > of their heart <3820 leb > .

 : 15 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <5921 <al > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that prophesy <5012 naba> > in my name <8034 shem > ,  and I sent <7971 shalach > them not ,  yet they say <0559 >amar > ,  Sword <2719 chereb > and famine <7458 ra<ab > shall not be in this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > ;  By sword <2719 chereb > and famine <7458 ra<ab > shall those <1992 hem > prophets <5030 nabiy> > be consumed <8552 tamam > .

 : 16 And the people <5971 <am > to whom they prophesy <5012 naba> > shall be cast <7993 shalak > out in the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > because <6440 paniym > of the famine <7458 ra<ab > and the sword <2719 chereb > ;  and they shall have none <0369 >ayin > to bury <6912 qabar > them ,  them ,  their wives <0802 >ishshah > ,  nor their sons <1121 ben > ,  nor their daughters <1121 ben > : for I will pour <8210 shaphak > their wickedness <7451 ra< > upon them .

 : 17 .  Therefore thou shalt say <0559 >amar > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar > unto them ;  Let mine eyes <5869 <ayin > run <3381 yarad > down with tears <1832 dim<ah > night <3915 layil > and day <3119 yowmam > ,  and let them not cease <1820 damah > : for the virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am > is broken <7665 shabar > with a great <1419 gadowl > breach <7667 sheber > ,  with a very <3966 m@<od > grievous <2470 chalah > blow <4347 makkah > .

 : 18 If <0518 >im > I go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > into the field <7704 sadeh > ,  then behold <2009 hinneh > the slain <2491 chalal > with the sword <2719 chereb > !  and if <0518 >im > I enter <0935 bow> > into the city <5892 <iyr > ,  then behold <2009 hinneh > them that are sick <8463 tachaluw> > with famine <7458 ra<ab > !  yea ,  both <1571 gam > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > and the priest <3548 kohen > go <5503 cachar > about <5503 cachar > into <0413 >el > a land <0776 >erets > that they know <3045 yada< > not .

 : 19 Hast thou utterly rejected <3988 ma>ac > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ?  hath thy soul <5315 nephesh > lothed <1602 ga<al > Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ?  why <4069 madduwa< > hast thou smitten <5221 nakah > us ,  and  [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > healing <4832 marpe> > for us ?  we looked <6960 qavah > for peace <7965 shalowm > ,  and  [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > good <2896 towb > ;  and for the time <6256 <eth > of healing <4832 marpe> > ,  and behold <2009 hinneh > trouble <1205 b@<athah > !

 : 20 We acknowledge <3045 yada< > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  our wickedness <7562 resha< > ,   [ and ]  the iniquity <5771 <avon > of our fathers <1> : for we have sinned <2398 chata> > against thee .

 : 21 Do not abhor <5006 na>ats >  [ us ]  ,  for thy name s <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma<an > ,  do not disgrace <5034 nabel > the throne <3678 kicce> > of thy glory <3519 kabowd > : remember <2142 zakar > ,  break <6565 parar > not thy covenant <1285 b@riyth > with us .

 : 22 Are there  [ any ]  among the vanities <1892 hebel > of the Gentiles <1471 gowy > that can cause rain <1653 geshem > ?  or can the heavens <8064 shamayim > give <5414 nathan > showers <7241 rabiyb > ?   [ art ]  not thou he ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > ?  therefore we will wait <6960 qavah > upon thee : for thou hast made <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  .

 : Jeremiah 15

 : 01 .  Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me ,  Though <0518 >im > Moses <4872 Mosheh > and Samuel <8050 Sh@muw>el > stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > me ,   [ yet ]  my mind <5315 nephesh >  [ could ]  not  [ be ]  toward <0413 >el > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > : cast <7971 shalach >  [ them ]  out of my sight <6440 paniym > ,  and let them go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > .

 : 02 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,  if <3588 kiy > they say <0559 >amar > unto thee ,  Whither <0575 >an > shall we go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ?  then thou shalt tell <0559 >amar > them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Such as  [ are ]  for death <4194 maveth > ,  to death <4194 maveth > ;  and such as  [ are ]  for the sword <2719 chereb > ,  to the sword <2719 chereb > ;  and such as  [ are ]  for the famine <7458 ra<ab > ,  to the famine <7458 ra<ab > ;  and such as  [ are ]  for the captivity <7628 sh@biy > ,  to the captivity <7628 sh@biy > .

 : 03 And I will appoint <6485 paqad > over <5921 <al > them four <0702 >arba< > kinds <4940 mishpachah > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : the sword <2719 chereb > to slay <2026 harag > ,  and the dogs <3611 keleb > to tear <5498 cachab > ,  and the fowls <5775 <owph > of the heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and the beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the earth <0776 >erets > ,  to devour <0398 >akal > and destroy <7843 shachath > .

 : 04 And I will cause <5414 nathan > them to be removed <2189 za<avah > into all <3605 kol > kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of the earth <0776 >erets > ,  because <1558 galal > of Manasseh <4519 M@nashsheh > the son <1121 ben > of Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  for  [ that ]  which <0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

 : 05 For who <4310 miy > shall have pity <2550 chamal > upon thee ,  O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ?  or who <4310 miy > shall bemoan <5110 nuwd > thee ?  or who shall go <5493 cuwr > aside <5493 cuwr > to ask <7592 sha>al > how thou doest <7965 shalowm > ?

 : 06 Thou hast forsaken <5203 natash > me ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  thou art gone <3212 yalak > backward <0268 >achowr > : therefore will I stretch <5186 natah > out my hand <3027 yad > against <5921 <al > thee ,  and destroy <7843 shachath > thee ;  I am weary <3811 la>ah > with repenting <5162 nacham > .

 : 07 And I will fan <2219 zarah > them with a fan <2219 zarah > in the gates <8179 sha<ar > of the land <0776 >erets > ;  I will bereave <7921 shakol >  [ them ]  of children ,  I will destroy <6> my people <5971 <am > ,   [ since ]  they return <7725 shuwb > not from their ways <1870 derek > .

 : 08 Their widows <0490 >almanah > are increased <6105 <atsam > to me above the sand <2344 chowl > of the seas <3220 yam > : I have brought <0935 bow> > upon them against <5921 <al > the mother <0517 >em > of the young <0970 bachuwr > men a spoiler <7703 shadad > at noonday <6672 tsohar > : I have caused  [ him ]  to fall <5307 naphal > upon it suddenly <6597 pith>owm > ,  and terrors <0928 behalah > upon the city <5892 <iyr > .

 : 09 She that hath borne <3205 yalad > seven <7651 sheba< > languisheth <0535 >amal > : she hath given <5301 naphach > up the ghost <5315 nephesh > ;  her sun <8121 shemesh > is gone <0935 bow> > down while  [ it was ]  yet <5750 <owd > day <3119 yowmam > : she hath been <1961 hayah > ashamed <0954 buwsh > and confounded <2659 chapher > : and the residue <7611 sh@>eriyth > of them will I deliver <5414 nathan > to the sword <2719 chereb > before <6440 paniym > their enemies <0341 >oyeb > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 10 .  Woe <0188 >owy > is me ,  my mother <0517 >em > ,  that thou hast borne <3205 yalad > me a man <0376 >iysh > of strife <7379 riyb > and a man <0376 >iysh > of contention <4066 madown > to the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets > !  I have neither <3808 lo> > lent <5383 nashah > on usury <5383 nashah > ,  nor <3808 lo> > men have lent <5383 nashah > to me on usury <5383 nashah > ;   [ yet ]  every <3605 kol > one of them doth curse <7043 qalal > me .

 : 11 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > ,  Verily it shall be well <2896 towb > with thy remnant <8293 sheruwth > ;  verily <0518 >im > I will cause the enemy <0341 >oyeb > to entreat <6293 paga< > thee  [ well ]  in the time <6256 <eth > of evil <7451 ra< > and in the time <6256 <eth > of affliction <6869 tsarah > .

 : 12 Shall iron <1270 barzel > break <7489 ra<a< > the northern <6828 tsaphown > iron <1270 barzel > and the steel <5178 n@chosheth > ?

 : 13 Thy substance <2428 chayil > and thy treasures <0214 >owtsar > will I give <5414 nathan > to the spoil <0957 baz > without price <4242 m@chiyr > ,  and  [ that ]  for all <3605 kol > thy sins <2403 chatta>ah > ,  even in all <3605 kol > thy borders <1366 g@buwl > .

 : 14 And I will make  [ thee ]  to pass <5674 <abar > with thine enemies <0341 >oyeb > into a land <0776 >erets >  [ which ]  thou knowest <3045 yada< > not : for a fire <0784 >esh > is kindled <6919 qadach > in mine anger <0639 >aph > ,   [ which ]  shall burn <3344 yaqad > upon you .

 : 15 .  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  thou knowest <3045 yada< > : remember <2142 zakar > me ,  and visit <6485 paqad > me ,  and revenge <5358 naqam > me of my persecutors <7291 radaph > ;  take <3947 laqach > me not away in thy longsuffering : know <3045 yada< > that for thy sake I have suffered <5375 nasa> > rebuke <2781 cherpah > .

 : 16 Thy words <1697 dabar > were found <4672 matsa> > ,  and I did eat <0398 >akal > them ;  and thy word <1697 dabar > was unto me the joy <8342 sasown > and rejoicing <8057 simchah > of mine heart <3824 lebab > : for I am called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > .

 : 17 I sat <3427 yashab > not in the assembly <5475 cowd > of the mockers <7832 sachaq > ,  nor rejoiced <5937 <alaz > ;  I sat <3427 yashab > alone <0909 badad > because <6440 paniym > of thy hand <3027 yad > : for thou hast filled <4390 male> > me with indignation <2195 za<am > .

 : 18 Why <4100 mah > is my pain <3511 k@>eb > perpetual <5331 netsach > ,  and my wound <4347 makkah > incurable <0605 >anash > ,   [ which ]  refuseth <3985 ma>en > to be healed <7495 rapha> > ?  wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar <0391 >akzab > ,   [ and as ]  waters <4325 mayim >  [ that ]  fail <0539 >aman > ?

 : 19 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068Y@hovah > ,  If <0518 >im > thou return <7725 shuwb > ,  then will I bring <7725 shuwb > thee again <7725 shuwb > ,   [ and ]  thou shalt stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > me : and if <0518 >im > thou take <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > the precious <3368 yaqar > from the vile <2151 zalal > ,  thou shalt be as my mouth <6310 peh > : let them return <7725 shuwb > unto thee ;  but return <7725 shuwb > not thou unto them .

 : 20 And I will make <5414 nathan > thee unto this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > a fenced <1219 batsar > brasen <5178 n@chosheth > wall <2346 chowmah > : and they shall fight <3898 lacham > against <0413 >el > thee ,  but they shall not prevail <3201 yakol > against thee : for I  [ am ]  with thee to save <3467 yasha< > thee and to deliver <5337 natsal > thee ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 21 And I will deliver <5337 natsal > thee out of the hand <3027 yad > of the wicked <7451 ra< > ,  and I will redeem <6299 padah > thee out of the hand <3709 kaph > of the terrible <6184 <ariyts > .

 : Jeremiah 16

 : 01 .  The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > also unto me ,  saying ,

 : 02 Thou shalt not take <3947 laqach > thee a wife <0802 >ishshah > ,  neither <3808 lo> > shalt thou have sons <1121 ben > or <0176 >ow > daughters <1121 ben > in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > .

 : 03 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <5921 <al > the sons <1121 ben > and concerning <5921 <al > the daughters <1121 ben > that are born <3205 yalad > in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > ,  and concerning <5921 <al > their mothers <0517 >em > that bare <3205 yalad > them ,  and concerning <5921 <al > their fathers <1> that begat <3205 yalad > them in this <2088 zeh > land <0776 >erets > ;

 : 04 They shall die <4191 muwth > of grievous <8463 tachaluw> > deaths <4463 mamowth > ;  they shall not be lamented <5594 caphad > ;  neither <3808 lo> > shall they be buried <6912 qabar > ;   [ but ]  they shall be as dung <1828 domen > upon the face <6440 paniym > of the earth <0127 >adamah > : and they shall be consumed <3615 kalah > by the sword <2719 chereb > ,  and by famine <7458 ra<ab > ;  and their carcases <5038 n@belah > shall be meat <3978 ma>akal > for the fowls <5775 <owph > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and for the beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the earth <0776 >erets > .

 : 05 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Enter <0935 bow> > not into the house <1004 bayith > of mourning <4798 marzeach > ,  neither <3808 lo> > go <3212 yalak > to lament <5594 caphad > nor <3808 lo> > bemoan <5110 nuwd > them : for I have taken <0622 >acaph > away my peace <7965 shalowm > from this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ even <0853 >eth > ]  lovingkindness <2617 checed > and mercies <7356 racham > .

 : 06 Both the great <1419 gadowl > and the small <6996 qatan > shall die <4191 muwth > in this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > : they shall not be buried <6912 qabar > ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall  [ men ]  lament <5594 caphad > for them ,  nor <3808 lo> > cut <1413 gadad > themselves ,  nor <3808 lo> > make themselves bald <7139 qarach > for them :

 : 07 Neither <3808 lo> > shall  [ men ]  tear <6536 parac >  [ themselves ]  for them in mourning <60> ,  to comfort <5162 nacham > them for the dead <4191 muwth > ;  neither <3808 lo> > shall  [ men ]  give them the cup <3563 kowc > of consolation <8575 tanchuwm > to drink <8248 shaqah > for their father <1> or for their mother <0517 >em > .

 : 08 Thou shalt not also go <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of feasting <4960 mishteh > ,  to sit <3427 yashab > with them to eat <0398 >akal > and to drink <8354 shathah > .

 : 09 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will cause to cease <7673 shabath > out of this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > in your eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and in your days <3117 yowm > ,  the voice <6963 qowl > of mirth <8342 sasown > ,  and the voice <6963 qowl > of gladness <8057 simchah > ,  the voice <6963 qowl > of the bridegroom <2860 chathan > ,  and the voice <6963 qowl > of the bride <3618 kallah > .

 : 10 .  And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when <3588 kiy > thou shalt shew <5046 nagad > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > words <1697 dabar > ,  and they shall say <0559 >amar > unto thee ,  Wherefore hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > pronounced <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > great <1419 gadowl > evil <7451 ra< > against <5921 <al > us ?  or what <4100 mah >  [ is ]  our iniquity <5771 <avon > ?  or what <4100 mah >  [ is ]  our sin <2403 chatta>ah > that we have committed <2398 chata> > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > ?

 : 11 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Because your fathers <1> have forsaken <5800 <azab > me ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and have walked <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  and have served <5647 <abad > them ,  and have worshipped <7812 shachah > them ,  and have forsaken <5800 <azab > me ,  and have not kept <8104 shamar > my law <8451 towrah > ;

 : 12 And ye have done <6213 <asah > worse <7489 ra<a< > than your fathers <1> ;  for ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  ye walk <1980 halak > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > after <0310 >achar > the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of his evil <7451 ra< > heart <3820 leb > ,  that they may not hearken <8085 shama< > unto me :

 : 13 Therefore will I cast <2904 tuwl > you out of this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > into <5921 <al > a land <0776 >erets > that ye know <3045 yada< > not ,   [ neither ]  ye nor your fathers <1> ;  and there <8033 sham > shall ye serve <5647 <abad > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > day <3119 yowmam > and night <3915 layil > ;  where <0834 >aher > I will not shew <5414 nathan > you favour <2594 chaniynah > .

 : 14 .  Therefore <3651 ken > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow> > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that it shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > be said <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ,  that brought <5927 <alah > up the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ;

 : 15 But ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ,  that brought <5927 <alah > up the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > from the land <0776 >erets > of the north <6828 tsaphown > ,  and from all <3605 kol > the lands <0776 >erets > whither he had driven <5080 nadach > them : and I will bring <7725 shuwb > them again <7725 shuwb > into <5921 <al > their land <0127 >adamah > that I gave <5414 nathan > unto their fathers <1> .

 : 16 Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will send <7971 shalach > for many <7227 rab > fishers <1728 davvag > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and they shall fish <1770 diyg > them ;  and after <0310 >achar > will I send <7971 shalach > for many <7227 rab > hunters <6719 tsayad > ,  and they shall hunt <6679 tsuwd > them from every <3605 kol > mountain <2022 har > ,  and from every <3605 kol > hill <1389 gib<ah > ,  and out of the holes <5357 naqiyq > of the rocks <5553 cela< > .

 : 17 For mine eyes <5869 <ayin >  [ are ]  upon all <3605 kol > their ways <1870 derek > : they are not hid <5641 cathar > from my face <6440 paniym > ,  neither <3808 lo> > is their iniquity <5771 <avon > hid <6845 tsaphan > from mine eyes <5869 <ayin > .

 : 18 And first <7223 ri>shown > I will recompense <7999 shalam > their iniquity <5771 <avon > and their sin <2403 chatta>ah > double <4932 mishneh > ;  because <5921 <al > they have defiled <2490 chalal > my land <0776 >erets > ,  they have filled <4390 male> > mine inheritance <5159 nachalah > with the carcases <5038 n@belah > of their detestable <8251 shiqquwts > and abominable <8441 tow<ebah > things .

 : 19 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  my strength <5797 <oz > ,  and my fortress <4581 ma<owz > ,  and my refuge <4498 manowc > in the day <3117 yowm > of affliction <6869 tsarah > ,  the Gentiles <1471 gowy > shall come <0935 bow> > unto thee from the ends <0657 >ephec > of the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and shall say <0559 >amar > ,  Surely <0389 >ak > our fathers <1> have inherited <5157 nachal > lies <8267 sheqer > ,  vanity <1892 hebel > ,  and  [ things ]  wherein  [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > profit <3276 ya<al > .

 : 20 Shall a man <0120 >adam > make <6213 <asah > gods <0430 >elohiym > unto himself ,  and they  [ are ]  no <3808 lo> > gods <0430 >elohiym > ?

 : Jeremiah 17

 : 01 .  The sin <2403 chatta>ah > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >  [ is ]  written <3789 kathab > with a pen <5842 <et > of iron <1270 barzel > ,   [ and ]  with the point <6856 tsipporen > of a diamond <8068 shamiyr > :  [ it is ]  graven <2790 charash > upon the table <3871 luwach > of their heart <3820 leb > ,  and upon the horns <7161 qeren > of your altars <4196 mizbeach > ;

 : 02 Whilst their children <1121 ben > remember <2142 zakar > their altars <4196 mizbeach > and their groves <0842 >asherah > by the green <7488 ra<anan > trees <6086 <ets > upon the high <1364 gaboahh > hills <1389 gib<ah > .

 : 03 O my mountain <2042 harar > in the field <7704 sadeh > ,  I will give <5414 nathan > thy substance <2428 chayil >  [ and ]  all <3605 kol > thy treasures <0214 >owtsar > to the spoil <0957 baz > ,   [ and ]  thy high <1116 bamah > places for sin <2403 chatta>ah > ,  throughout all <3605 kol > thy borders <1366 g@buwl > .

 : 04 And thou ,  even thyself ,  shalt discontinue <8058 shamat > from thine heritage <5159 nachalah > that I gave <5414 nathan > thee ;  and I will cause thee to serve <5647 <abad > thine enemies <0341 >oyeb > in the land <0776 >erets > which <0834 >aher > thou knowest <3045 yada< > not : for ye have kindled <6919 qadach > a fire <0784 >esh > in mine anger <0639 >aph > ,   [ which ]  shall burn <3344 yaqad > for ever <5769 <owlam > .

 : 05 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Cursed <0779 >arar >  [ be ]  the man <1397 geber > that trusteth <0982 batach > in man <0120 >adam > ,  and maketh flesh <1320 basar > his arm <2220 z@rowa< > ,  and whose heart <3820 leb > departeth <5493 cuwr > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 06 For he shall be like the heath <6176 <arow<er > in the desert <6160<arabah > ,  and shall not see <7200 ra>ah > when <3588 kiy > good <2896 towb > cometh <0935 bow> > ;  but shall inhabit <7931 shakan > the parched <2788 charer > places in the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,   [ in ]  a salt <4420 m@lechah > land <0776 >erets > and not inhabited <3427 yashab > .

 : 07 Blessed <1288 barak >  [ is ]  the man <1397 geber > that trusteth <0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and whose hope <4009 mibtach > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is .

 : 08 For he shall be as a tree <6086 <ets > planted <8362 shathal > by the waters <4325 mayim > ,  and  [ that ]  spreadeth <7971 shalach > out her roots <8328 sheresh > by the river <3105 yuwbal > ,  and shall not see <7200 ra>ah > when <3588 kiy > heat <2527 chom > cometh <0935 bow> > ,  but her leaf <5929 <aleh > shall be green <7488 ra<anan > ;  and shall not be careful <1672 da>ag > in the year <8141 shaneh > of drought <1226 batstsoreth > ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall cease <4185 muwsh > from yielding <6213 <asah > fruit <6529 p@riy > .

 : 09 The heart <3820 leb >  [ is ]  deceitful <6121 <aqob > above all <3605 kol >  [ things ]  ,  and desperately <0605 >anash > wicked <0605 >anash > : who <4310 miy > can know <3045 yada< > it ?

 : 10 I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > search <2713 chaqar > the heart <3820 leb > ,   [ I ]  try <0974 bachan > the reins <3629 kilyah > ,  even to give <5414 nathan > every man <0376 >iysh > according to his ways <1870 derek > ,   [ and ]  according to the fruit <6529 p@riy > of his doings <4611 ma<alal > .

 : 11  [ As ]  the partridge <7124 qore> > sitteth <1716 dagar >  [ on eggs ]  ,  and hatcheth <3205 yalad >  [ them ]  not ;   [ so ]  he that getteth <6213 <asah > riches <6239 <osher > ,  and not by right <4941 mishpat > ,  shall leave <5800 <azab > them in the midst <2677 chetsiy > of his days <3117 yowm > ,  and at his end <0319 >achariyth > shall be a fool <5036 nabal > .

 : 12 .  A glorious <3519 kabowd > high <4791 marowm > throne <3678 kicce> > from the beginning <7223 ri>shown >  [ is ]  the place <4725 maqowm > of our sanctuary <4720 miqdash > .

 : 13 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the hope <4723 miqveh > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  all <3605 kol > that forsake <5800 <azab > thee shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh > ,   [ and ]  they that depart <3249 yacuwr > from me shall be written <3789 kathab > in the earth <0776 >erets > ,  because <3588 kiy > they have forsaken <5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the fountain <4726 maqowr > of living <2416 chay > waters <4325 mayim > .

 : 14 Heal <7495 rapha> > me ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and I shall be healed <7495 rapha> > ;  save <3467 yasha< > me ,  and I shall be saved <3467 yasha< > : for thou  [ art ]  my praise <8416 t@hillah > .

 : 15 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  they say <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Where <0346 >ayeh >  [ is ]  the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ?  let it come <0935 bow> > now <4994 na> > .

 : 16 As for me ,  I have not hastened <0213 >uwts > from  [ being ]  a pastor <7462 ra<ah > to follow <0310 >achar > thee : neither <3808 lo> > have I desired <0183 >avah > the woeful <0605 >anash > day <3117 yowm > ;  thou knowest <3045 yada< > : that which came <4161 mowtsa> > out of my lips <8193 saphah > was  [ right <5227 nokach > ]  before <5227 nokach > thee .

 : 17 Be not a terror <4288 m@chittah > unto me : thou  [ art ]  my hope <4268 machaceh > in the day <3117 yowm > of evil <7451 ra< > .

 : 18 Let them be confounded <0954 buwsh > that persecute <7291 radaph > me ,  but let not me be confounded <0954 buwsh > : let them be dismayed <2865 chathath > ,  but let not me be dismayed <2865 chathath > : bring <0935 bow> > upon them the day <3117 yowm > of evil <7451 ra< > ,  and destroy <7665 shabar > them with double <4932 mishneh > destruction <7670 shibrown > .

 : 19 .  Thus <3541 koh > said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me ;  Go <1980 halak > and stand <5975 <amad > in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of the children <1121 ben > of the people <5971 <am > ,  whereby <0834 >aher > the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > come <0935 bow> > in ,  and by the which <0834 >aher > they go <3318 yatsa> > out ,  and in all <3605 kol > the gates <8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ;

 : 20 And say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  ye kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  that enter <0935 bow> > in by these <0428 >el - leh > gates <8179 sha<ar > :

 : 21 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Take heed <8104 shamar > to yourselves <5315 nephesh > ,  and bear <5375 nasa> > no <0408 >al > burden <4853 massa> > on the sabbath <7676 shabbath > day <3117 yowm > ,  nor bring <0935 bow> >  [ it ]  in by the gates <8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ;

 : 22 Neither <3808 lo> > carry <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > a burden <4853 massa> > out of your houses <1004 bayith > on the sabbath <7676 shabbath > day <3117 yowm > ,  neither <3808 lo> > do <6213 <asah > ye any <3605 kol > work <4399 m@la>kah > ,  but hallow <6942 qadash > ye the sabbath <7676 shabbath > day <3117 yowm > ,  as I commanded <6680 tsavah > your fathers <1> .

 : 23 But they obeyed <8085 shama< > not ,  neither <3808 lo> > inclined <5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen > ,  but made their neck <6202 <araph > stiff <7185 qashah > ,  that they might not hear <8085 shama< > ,  nor <1115 biltiy > receive <3947 laqach > instruction <4148 muwcar > .

 : 24 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,  if <0518 >im > ye diligently hearken <8085 shama< > unto me ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  to bring <0935 bow> > in no <1115 biltiy > burden <4853 massa> > through the gates <8179 sha<ar > of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > on the sabbath <7676 shabbath > day <3117 yowm > ,  but hallow <6942 qadash > the sabbath <7676 shabbath > day <3117 yowm > ,  to do <6213 <asah > no <1115 biltiy > work <4399 m@la>kah > therein ;

 : 25 Then shall there enter <0935 bow> > into the gates <8179 sha<ar > of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > kings <4428 melek > and princes <8269 sar > sitting <3427 yashab > upon the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > ,  riding <7392 rakab > in chariots <7393 rekeb > and on horses <5483 cuwc > ,  they ,  and their princes <8269 sar > ,  the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : and this <2088 zeh > city <5892 <iyr > shall remain <3427 yashab > for ever <5769 <owlam > .

 : 26 And they shall come <0935 bow> > from the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and from the places <5439 cabiyb > about <5439 cabiyb > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and from the land <0776 >erets > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn > ,  and from the plain <8219 sh@phelah > ,  and from the mountains <2022 har > ,  and from the south <5045 negeb > ,  bringing <0935 bow> > burnt <5930 <olah > offerings ,  and sacrifices <2077 zebach > ,  and meat offerings <4503 minchah > ,  and incense <3828 l@bownah > ,  and bringing <0935 bow> > sacrifices of praise <8426 towdah > ,  unto the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 27 But if <0518 >im > ye will not hearken <8085 shama< > unto me to hallow <6942 qadash > the sabbath <7676 shabbath > day <3117 yowm > ,  and not to bear <5375 nasa> > a burden <4853 massa> > ,  even entering <0935 bow> > in at the gates <8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > on the sabbath <7676 shabbath > day <3117 yowm > ;  then will I kindle <3341 yatsath > a fire <0784 >esh > in the gates <8179 sha<ar > thereof ,  and it shall devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and it shall not be quenched <3518 kabah > .

 : Jeremiah 18

 : 01 .  The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 02 Arise <6965 quwm > ,  and go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the potter s <3335 yatsar > house <1004 bayith > ,  and there <8033 sham > I will cause thee to hear <8085 shama< > my words <1697 dabar > .

 : 03 Then I went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the potter s <3335 yatsar > house <1004 bayith > ,  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  he wrought <6213 <asah > a work <4399 m@la>kah > on <5921 <al > the wheels <70> .

 : 04 And the vessel <3627 k@liy > that he made <6213 <asah > of clay <2563 chomer > was marred <7843 shachath > in the hand <3027 yad > of the potter <3335 yatsar > : so he made <6213 <asah > it again <7725 shuwb > another <0312 >acher > vessel <3627 k@liy > ,  as seemed <5869 <ayin > good <3474 yashar > to the potter <3335 yatsar > to make <6213 <asah >  [ it ]  .

 : 05 Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 06 O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  cannot I do <6213 <asah > with you as this <2088 zeh > potter <3335 yatsar > ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  as the clay <2563 chomer >  [ is ]  in the potter s <3335 yatsar > hand <3027 yad > ,  so <3651 ken >  [ are ]  ye in mine hand <3027 yad > ,  O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 07  [ At what ]  instant <7281 rega< > I shall speak <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al > a nation <1471 gowy > ,  and concerning <5921 <al > a kingdom <4467 mamlakah > ,  to pluck <5428 nathash > up ,  and to pull <5422 nathats > down ,  and to destroy <6>  [ it ]  ;

 : 08 If that nation <1471 gowy > ,  against <5921 <al > whom <0834 >aher > I have pronounced <1696 dabar > ,  turn <7725 shuwb > from their evil <7451 ra< > ,  I will repent <5162 nacham > of the evil <7451 ra< > that I thought <2803 chashab > to do <6213 <asah > unto them .

 : 09 And  [ at what ]  instant <7281 rega< > I shall speak <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al > a nation <1471 gowy > ,  and concerning <5921 <al > a kingdom <4467 mamlakah > ,  to build <1129 banah > and to plant <5193 nata< >  [ it ]  ;

 : 10 If it do <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in my sight <5869 <ayin > ,  that it obey <8085 shama< > not my voice <6963 qowl > ,  then I will repent <5162 nacham > of the good <2896 towb > ,  wherewith <0834 >aher > I said <0559 >amar > I would benefit <3190 yatab > them .

 : 11 .  Now <6258 <attah > therefore go <4994 na> > to ,  speak <0559 >amar > to the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and to the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I frame <3335 yatsar > evil <7451 ra< > against <5921 <al > you ,  and devise <2803 chashab > a device <4284 machashabah > against <5921 <al > you : return <7725 shuwb > ye now <4994 na> > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > from his evil <7451 ra< > way <1870 derek > ,  and make your ways <1870 derek > and your doings <4611 ma<alal > good <3190 yatab > .

 : 12 And they said <0559 >amar > ,  There is no hope <2976 ya>ash > : but we will walk <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > our own devices <4284 machashabah > ,  and we will every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > do <6213 <asah > the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of his evil <7451 ra< > heart <3820 leb > .

 : 13 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Ask <7592 sha>al > ye now <4994 na> > among the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  who <4310 miy > hath heard <8085 shama< > such <0428 >el - leh > things : the virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath done <6213 <asah > a very <3966 m@<od > horrible <8186 sha<aruwrah > thing .

 : 14 Will  [ a man ]  leave <5800 <azab > the snow <7950 sheleg > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown >  [ which cometh ]  from the rock <6697 tsuwr > of the field <7704 sadeh > ?   [ or ]  shall the cold <7119 qar > flowing <5140 nazal > waters <4325 mayim > that come from another <2114 zuwr > place be forsaken <5428 nathash > ?

 : 15 Because <3588 kiy > my people <5971 <am > hath forgotten <7911 shakach > me ,  they have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > to vanity <7723 shav> > ,  and they have caused them to stumble <3782 kashal > in their ways <1870 derek >  [ from ]  the ancient <5769 <owlam > paths <7635 shabiyl > ,  to walk <1980 halak > in paths <5410 nathiyb > ,   [ in ]  a way <1870 derek > not cast <5549 calal > up ;

 : 16 To make <7760 suwm > their land <0776 >erets > desolate <8047 shammah > ,   [ and ]  a perpetual <5769 <owlam > hissing <8292 sh@ruwqah > ;  every <3605 kol > one that passeth <5674 <abar > thereby <5921 <al > shall be astonished <8074 shamem > ,  and wag <5110 nuwd > his head <7218 ro>sh > .

 : 17 I will scatter <6327 puwts > them as with an east <6921 qadiym > wind <7307 ruwach > before <6440 paniym > the enemy <0341 >oyeb > ;  I will shew <7200 ra>ah > them the back <6203 <oreph > ,  and not the face <6440 paniym > ,  in the day <3117 yowm > of their calamity <0343 >eyd > .

 : 18 .  Then said <0559 >amar > they ,  Come <3212 yalak > ,  and let us devise <2803 chashab > devices <4284 machashabah > against <5921 <al > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > ;  for the law <8451 towrah > shall not perish <6> from the priest <3548 kohen > ,  nor counsel <6098 <etsah > from the wise <2450 chakam > ,  nor the word <1697 dabar > from the prophet <5030 nabiy> > .  Come <3212 yalak > ,  and let us smite <5221 nakah > him with the tongue <3956 lashown > ,  and let us not give heed <7181 qashab > to any <3605 kol > of his words <1697 dabar > .

 : 19 Give heed <7181 qashab > to me ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and hearken <8085 shama< > to the voice <6963 qowl > of them that contend <3401 yariyb > with me .

 : 20 Shall evil <7451 ra< > be recompensed <7999 shalam > for good <2896 towb > ?  for they have digged <3738 karah > a pit <7745 shuwchah > for my soul <5315 nephesh > .  Remember <2142 zakar > that I stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > thee to speak <1696 dabar > good <2896 towb > for them ,   [ and ]  to turn <7725 shuwb > away thy wrath <2534 chemah > from them .

 : 21 Therefore <3651 ken > deliver <5414 nathan > up their children <1121 ben > to the famine <7458 ra<ab > ,  and pour <5064 nagar > out their  [ blood ]  by the force <3027 yad > of the sword <2719 chereb > ;  and let their wives <0802 >ishshah > be bereaved <7909 shakkuwl > of their children ,  and  [ be ]  widows <0490 >almanah > ;  and let their men <0582 >enowsh > be put <2026 harag > to death <4194 maveth > ;   [ let ]  their young <0970 bachuwr > men  [ be ]  slain <5221 nakah > by the sword <2719 chereb > in battle <4421 milchamah > .

 : 22 Let a cry <2201 za<aq > be heard <8085 shama< > from their houses <1004 bayith > ,  when <3588 kiy > thou shalt bring <0935 bow> > a troop <1416 g@duwd > suddenly <6597 pith>owm > upon them : for they have digged <3738 karah > a pit to take <3920 lakad > me ,  and hid <2934 taman > snares <6341 pach > for my feet <7272 regel > .

 : 23 Yet ,  LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  thou knowest <3045 yada< > all <3605 kol > their counsel <6098 <etsah > against <5921 <al > me to slay <1194 B@<on >  [ me ]  : forgive <3722 kaphar > not their iniquity <5771 <avon > ,  neither <0408 >al > blot <4229 machah > out their sin <2403 chatta>ah > from thy sight <6440 paniym > ,  but let them be overthrown <3782 kashal > before <6440 paniym > thee ;  deal <6213 <asah >  [ thus ]  with them in the time <6256 <eth > of thine anger <0639 >aph > .

 : 01 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Go <1980 halak > and get <7069 qanah > a potter s <3335 yatsar > earthen <2789 cheres > bottle <1228 baqbuk > ,  and  [ take ]  of the ancients <2204 zaqen > of the people <5971 <am > ,  and of the ancients <2204 zaqen > of the priests <3548 kohen > ;

 : 02 And go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > unto the valley <1516 gay> > of the son <1121 ben > of Hinnom <2011 Hinnom > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ is ]  by the entry <6607 pethach > of the east <2777 charcuwth > gate <8179 sha<ar > ,  and proclaim <7121 qara> > there <8033 sham > the words <1697 dabar > that I shall tell <1696 dabar > thee ,

 : 03 And say <0559 >amar > ,  Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  O kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ;  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra< > upon this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > ,  the which <0834 >aher > whosoever <3605 kol > heareth <8085 shama< > ,  his ears <0241 >ozen > shall tingle <6750 tsalal > .

 : 04 Because they have forsaken <5800 <azab > me ,  and have estranged <5234 nakar > this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > ,  and have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > in it unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  whom <0834 >aher > neither <3808 lo> > they nor their fathers <1> have known <3045 yada< > ,  nor the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and have filled <4390 male> > this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > with the blood <1818 dam > of innocents <5355 naqiy > ;

 : 05 They have built <1129 banah > also the high <1116 bamah > places of Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  to burn <8313 saraph > their sons <1121 ben > with fire <0784 >esh >  [ for ]  burnt <5930 <olah > offerings unto Baal <1168 Ba<al > ,  which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > not ,  nor <3808 lo> > spake <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  ,  neither <3808 lo> > came <5927 <alah >  [ it ]  into <5921 <al > my mind <3820 leb > :

 : 06 Therefore <3651 ken > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow> > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > be called <7121 qara> > Tophet <8612 Topheth > ,  nor The valley <1516 gay> > of the son <1121 ben > of Hinnom <2011 Hinnom > ,  but The valley <1516 gay> > of slaughter <2028 haregah > .

 : 07 And I will make void <1238 baqaq > the counsel <6098 <etsah > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > ;  and I will cause them to fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > before <6440 paniym > their enemies <0341 >oyeb > ,  and by the hands <3027 yad > of them that seek <1245 baqash > their lives <5315 nephesh > : and their carcases <5038 n@belah > will I give <5414 nathan > to be meat <3978 ma>akal > for the fowls <5775 <owph > of the heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and for the beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the earth <0776 >erets > .

 : 08 And I will make <7760 suwm > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > desolate <8047 shammah > ,  and an hissing <8322 sh@reqah > ;  every <3605 kol > one that passeth <5674 <abar > thereby <5921 <al > shall be astonished <8074 shamem > and hiss <8319 sharaq > because <5921 <al > of all <3605 kol > the plagues <4347 makkah > thereof .

 : 09 And I will cause them to eat <0398 >akal > the flesh <1320 basar > of their sons <1121 ben > and the flesh <1320 basar > of their daughters <1121 ben > ,  and they shall eat <0398 >akal > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > the flesh <1320 basar > of his friend <7453 rea< > in the siege <4692 matsowr > and straitness <4689 matsowq > ,  wherewith <0834 >aher > their enemies <0341 >oyeb > ,  and they that seek <1245 baqash > their lives <5315 nephesh > ,  shall straiten <6693 tsuwq > them .

 : 10 .  Then shalt thou break <7665 shabar > the bottle <1228 baqbuk > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the men <0582 >enowsh > that go <1980 halak > with thee ,

 : 11 And shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ;  Even <3602 kakah > so <3602 kakah > will I break <7665 shabar > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > and this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > ,  as  [ one ]  breaketh <7665 shabar > a potter s <3335 yatsar > vessel <3627 k@liy > ,  that cannot be made <7495 rapha> > whole <7495 rapha> > again <5750 <owd > : and they shall bury <6912 qabar >  [ them ]  in Tophet <8612 Topheth > ,  till  [ there be ]  no <0369 >ayin > place <4725 maqowm > to bury <6912 qabar > .

 : 12 Thus <3651 ken > will I do <6213 <asah > unto this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and to the inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof ,  and  [ even ]  make <5414 nathan > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > as Tophet <8612 Topheth > :

 : 13 And the houses <1004 bayith > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and the houses <1004 bayith > of the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  shall be defiled <2931 tame> > as the place <4725 maqowm > of Tophet <8612 Topheth > ,  because <3605 kol > of all <3605 kol > the houses <1004 bayith > upon whose <0834 >aher > roofs <1406 gag > they have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto all <3605 kol > the host <6635 tsaba> > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and have poured <5258 nacak > out drink <5262 necek > offerings unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 14 Then came <0935 bow> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from Tophet <8612 Topheth > ,  whither <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had sent <7971 shalach > him to prophesy <5012 naba> > ;  and he stood <5975 <amad > in the court <2691 chatser > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith > ;  and said <0559 >amar > to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,

 : 15 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will bring <0935 bow> > upon this city <5892 <iyr > and upon all <3605 kol > her towns <5892 <iyr > all <3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > that I have pronounced <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al > it ,  because <3588 kiy > they have hardened <7185 qashah > their necks <6203 <oreph > ,  that they might not hear <8085 shama< > my words <1697 dabar > .

 : Jeremiah 20

 : 01 .  Now Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > the son <1121 ben > of Immer <0564 >Immer > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  who <1931 huw> >  [ was ]  also chief <5051 nogahh > governor <5057 nagiyd > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  heard <8085 shama< > that Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > prophesied <5012 naba> > these <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > .

 : 02 Then Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > smote <5221 nakah > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  and put <5414 nathan > him in the stocks <4115 mahpeketh > that  [ were ]  in the high <5945 >elyown > gate <8179 sha<ar > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ was ]  by the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 03 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass on the morrow <4283 mochorath > ,  that Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > out of the stocks <4115 mahpeketh > .  Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto him ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not called <7121 qara> > thy name <8034 shem > Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > ,  but Magormissabib <4036 Magowr mic - Cabiyb > .

 : 04 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will make <5414 nathan > thee a terror <4320 Miykayah > to thyself ,  and to all <3605 kol > thy friends <0157 >ahab > : and they shall fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > of their enemies <0341 >oyeb > ,  and thine eyes <5869 <ayin > shall behold <7200 ra>ah >  [ it ]  : and I will give <5414 nathan > all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > into the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  and he shall carry <1540 galah > them captive <1540 galah > into Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  and shall slay <5221 nakah > them with the sword <2719 chereb > .

 : 05 Moreover I will deliver <5414 nathan > all <3605 kol > the strength <2633 chocen > of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > ,  and all <3605 kol > the labours <3018 y@giya< > thereof ,  and all <3605 kol > the precious <3366 y@qar > things thereof ,  and all <3605 kol > the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > will I give <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of their enemies <0341 >oyeb > ,  which shall spoil <0962 bazaz > them ,  and take <3947 laqach > them ,  and carry <0935 bow> > them to Babylon <0894 Babel > .

 : 06 And thou ,  Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > ,  and all <3605 kol > that dwell <3427 yashab > in thine house <1004 bayith > shall go <3212 yalak > into captivity <7628 sh@biy > : and thou shalt come <0935 bow> > to Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  and there <8033 sham > thou shalt die <4191 muwth > ,  and shalt be buried <6912 qabar > there <8033 sham > ,  thou ,  and all <3605 kol > thy friends <0157 >ahab > ,  to whom thou hast prophesied <5012 naba> > lies <8267 sheqer > .

 : 07 .  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  thou hast deceived <6601 pathah > me ,  and I was deceived <6601 pathah > : thou art stronger <2388 chazaq > than I ,  and hast prevailed <3201 yakol > : I am in derision <7814 s@chowq > daily ,  every <3605 kol > one mocketh <3932 la<ag > me .

 : 08 For since <1767 day > I spake <1696 dabar > ,  I cried <2199 za<aq > out ,  I cried <7121 qara> > violence <2555 chamac > and spoil <7701 shod > ;  because <3588 kiy > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was made <1961 hayah > a reproach <2781 cherpah > unto me ,  and a derision <7047 qelec > ,  daily .

 : 09 Then I said <0559 >amar > ,  I will not make mention <2142 zakar > of him ,  nor <3808 lo> > speak <1696 dabar > any more <5750 <owd > in his name <8034 shem > .  But  [ his word ]  was in mine heart <3820 leb > as a burning <1197 ba<ar > fire <0784 >esh > shut <6113 <atsar > up in my bones <6106 <etsem > ,  and I was weary <3811 la>ah > with forbearing <3557 kuwl > ,  and I could <3201 yakol > not  [ stay ]  .

 : 10 For I heard <8085 shama< > the defaming <1681 dibbah > of many <7227 rab > ,  fear <4032 magowr > on every <5437 cabab > side <5439 cabiyb > .  Report <5046 nagad > ,   [ say they ]  ,  and we will report <5046 nagad > it .  All <3605 kol > my familiars <7965 shalowm > watched <8104 shamar > for my halting <6761 tsela< > ,   [ saying ]  ,  Peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he will be enticed <6601 pathah > ,  and we shall prevail <3201 yakol > against him ,  and we shall take <3947 laqach > our revenge <5360 n@qamah > on him .

 : 11 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ is ]  with me as a mighty <1368 gibbowr > terrible <6184 <ariyts > one : therefore my persecutors <7291 radaph > shall stumble <3782 kashal > ,  and they shall not prevail <3201 yakol > : they shall be greatly <3966 m@<od > ashamed <0954 buwsh > ;  for they shall not prosper <7919 sakal > :  [ their ]  everlasting <5769 <owlam > confusion <3639 k@limmah > shall never be forgotten <7911 shakach > .

 : 12 But ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  that triest <0974 bachan > the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > ,   [ and ]  seest <7200 ra>ah > the reins <3629 kilyah > and the heart <3820 leb > ,  let me see <7200 ra>ah > thy vengeance <5360 n@qamah > on them : for unto thee have I opened <1540 galah > my cause <7379 riyb > .

 : 13 Sing <7891 shiyr > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  praise <1984 halal > ye the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : for he hath delivered <5337 natsal > the soul <5315 nephesh > of the poor <34> from the hand <3027 yad > of evildoers <7489 ra<a< > .

 : 14 .  Cursed <0779 >arar >  [ be ]  the day <3117 yowm > wherein <0834 >aher > I was born <3205 yalad > : let not the day <3117 yowm > wherein <0834 >aher > my mother <0517 >em > bare <3205 yalad > me be blessed <1288 barak > .

 : 15 Cursed <0779 >arar >  [ be ]  the man <0376 >iysh > who <0834 >aher > brought <1319 basar > tidings <1319 basar > to my father <1> ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  A man <2145 zakar > child <1121 ben > is born <3205 yalad > unto thee ;  making him very glad <8056 sameach > .

 : 16 And let that man <0376 >iysh > be as the cities <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > overthrew <2015 haphak > ,  and repented <5162 nacham > not : and let him hear <8085 shama< > the cry <2201 za<aq > in the morning <1242 boqer > ,  and the shouting <8643 t@ruw<ah > at noontide ;

 : 17 Because <0834 >aher > he slew <4191 muwth > me not from the womb <7358 rechem > ;  or that my mother <0517 >em > might have been <1961 hayah > my grave <6913 qeber > ,  and her womb <7358 rechem >  [ to be ]  always <5769 <owlam > great <2030 hareh >  [ with me ]  .

 : 18 Wherefore <4100 mah > came <3318 yatsa> > I forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the womb <7358 rechem > to see <7200 ra>ah > labour <5999 <amal > and sorrow <3015 yagown > ,  that my days <3117 yowm > should be consumed <3615 kalah > with shame <1322 bosheth > ?

 : Jeremiah 21

 : 01 .  The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  when king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > sent <7971 shalach > unto him Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > the son <1121 ben > of Melchiah <4441 Malkiyah > ,  and Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah > the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah > the priest <3548 kohen > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 02 Enquire <1875 darash > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > for us ;  for Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > maketh war <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > us ;  if <0194 >uwlay > so be that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will deal <6213 <asah > with us according to all <3605 kol > his wondrous <6381 pala> > works ,  that he may go <5927 <alah > up from us .

 : 03 Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > to Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > :

 : 04 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will turn <5437 cabab > back <5437 cabab > the weapons <3627 k@liy > of war <4421 milchamah > that  [ are ]  in your hands <3027 yad > ,  wherewith <0834 >aher > ye fight <3898 lacham > against the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  and  [ against ]  the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > ,  which besiege <6696 tsuwr > you without <2351 chuwts > the walls <2346 chowmah > ,  and I will assemble <0622 >acaph > them into <0413 >el > the midst <8432 tavek > of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > .

 : 05 And I myself <0589 >aniy > will fight <3898 lacham > against you with an outstretched <5186 natah > hand <3027 yad > and with a strong <2389 chazaq > arm <2220 z@rowa< > ,  even in anger <0639 >aph > ,  and in fury <2534 chemah > ,  and in great <1419 gadowl > wrath <7110 qetseph > .

 : 06 And I will smite <5221 nakah > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > ,  both man <0120 >adam > and beast <0929 b@hemah > : they shall die <4191 muwth > of a great <1419 gadowl > pestilence <1698 deber > .

 : 07 And afterward ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  I will deliver <5414 nathan > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and his servants <5650 <ebed > ,  and the people <5971 <am > ,  and such as are left <7604 sha>ar > in this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > from the pestilence <1698 deber > ,  from the sword <2719 chereb > ,  and from the famine <7458 ra<ab > ,  into the hand <3027 yad > of Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  and into the hand <3027 yad > of their enemies <0341 >oyeb > ,  and into the hand <3027 yad > of those that seek <1245 baqash > their life <5315 nephesh > : and he shall smite <5221 nakah > them with the edge <6310 peh > of the sword <2719 chereb > ;  he shall not spare <2347 chuwc > them ,  neither <3808 lo> > have pity <2550 chamal > ,  nor <3808 lo> > have mercy <7355 racham > .

 : 08 .  And unto this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > thou shalt say <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I set <5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym > you the way <1870 derek > of life <2416 chay > ,  and the way <1870 derek > of death <4194 maveth > .

 : 09 He that abideth <3427 yashab > in this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > shall die <4191 muwth > by the sword <2719 chereb > ,  and by the famine <7458 ra<ab > ,  and by the pestilence <1698 deber > : but he that goeth <3318 yatsa> > out ,  and falleth <5307 naphal > to the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > that besiege <6696 tsuwr > you ,  he shall live <2421 chayah > ,  and his life <5315 nephesh > shall be unto him for a prey <7998 shalal > .

 : 10 For I have set <7760 suwm > my face <6440 paniym > against this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > for evil <7451 ra< > ,  and not for good <2896 towb > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : it shall be given <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  and he shall burn <8313 saraph > it with fire <0784 >esh > .

 : 01 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the house <1004 bayith > of the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and speak <1696 dabar > there <8033 sham > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar > ,

 : 02 And say <0559 >amar > ,  Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  O king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  that sittest <3427 yashab > upon the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > ,  thou ,  and thy servants <5650 <ebed > ,  and thy people <5971 <am > that enter <0935 bow> > in by these <0428 >el - leh > gates <8179 sha<ar > :

 : 03 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Execute <6213 <asah > ye judgment <4941 mishpat > and righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > ,  and deliver <5337 natsal > the spoiled <1497 gazal > out of the hand <3027 yad > of the oppressor <6216 <ashowq > : and do no <0408 >al > wrong <3238 yanah > ,  do no <0408 >al > violence <2554 chamac > to the stranger <1616 ger > ,  the fatherless <3490 yathowm > ,  nor the widow <0490 >almanah > ,  neither <0408 >al > shed <8210 shaphak > innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818 dam > in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > .

 : 04 For if <0518 >im > ye do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > indeed ,  then shall there enter <0935 bow> > in by the gates <8179 sha<ar > of this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > kings <4428 melek > sitting <3427 yashab > upon the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > ,  riding <7392 rakab > in chariots <7393 rekeb > and on horses <5483 cuwc > ,  he ,  and his servants <5650 <ebed > ,  and his people <5971 <am > .

 : 05 But if <0518 >im > ye will not hear <8085 shama< > these <0428 >el - leh > words <1697 dabar > ,  I swear <7650 shaba< > by myself ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > shall become <1961 hayah > a desolation <2723 chorbah > .

 : 06 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto the king s <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ;  Thou  [ art ]  Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > unto me ,   [ and ]  the head <7218 ro>sh > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown > :  [ yet ]  surely I will make <7896 shiyth > thee a wilderness <4057 midbar > ,   [ and ]  cities <5892 <iyr >  [ which ]  are not inhabited <3427 yashab > .

 : 07 And I will prepare <6942 qadash > destroyers <7843 shachath > against <5921 <al > thee ,  every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > with his weapons <3627 k@liy > : and they shall cut <3772 karath > down thy choice <4005 mibchar > cedars <0730 >erez > ,  and cast  [ them ]  into <5921 <al > the fire <0784 >esh > .

 : 08 And many <7227 rab > nations <1471 gowy > shall pass <5674 <abar > by this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > ,  and they shall say <0559 >amar > every man <0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453 rea< > ,  Wherefore hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > done <6213 <asah > thus <3602 kakah > unto this <2063 zo>th > great <1419 gadowl > city <5892 <iyr > ?

 : 09 Then they shall answer <0559 >amar > ,  Because they have forsaken <5800 <azab > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and worshipped <7812 shachah > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  and served <5647 <abad > them .

 : 10 .  Weep <1058 bakah > ye not for the dead <4191 muwth > ,  neither <0408 >al > bemoan <5110 nuwd > him :  [ but ]  weep <1058 bakah > sore for him that goeth <1980 halak > away : for he shall return <7725 shuwb > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > ,  nor see <7200 ra>ah > his native <4138 mowledeth > country <0776 >erets > .

 : 11 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > touching <0413 >el > Shallum <7967 Shalluwm > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  which reigned <4427 malak > instead <8478 tachath > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > his father <1> ,  which <0834 >aher > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > ;  He shall not return <7725 shuwb > thither <8033 sham > any more <5750 <owd > :

 : 12 But he shall die <4191 muwth > in the place <4725 maqowm > whither they have led him captive <1540 galah > ,  and shall see <7200 ra>ah > this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > .

 : 13 Woe <1945 howy > unto him that buildeth <1129 banah > his house <1004 bayith > by unrighteousness ,  and his chambers <5944 <aliyah > by wrong ;   [ that ]  useth his neighbour s <7453 rea< > service <5647 <abad > without <2600 chinnam > wages <2600 chinnam > ,  and giveth <5414 nathan > him not for his work <6467 po<al > ;

 : 14 That saith <0559 >amar > ,  I will build <1129 banah > me a wide <4060 middah > house <1004 bayith > and large <7304 ravach > chambers <5944 <aliyah > ,  and cutteth <7167 qara< > him out windows <2474 challown > ;  and  [ it is ]  cieled <5603 caphan > with cedar <0730 >erez > ,  and painted <4886 mashach > with vermilion <8350 shashar > .

 : 15 Shalt thou reign <4427 malak > ,  because <3588 kiy > thou closest <8474 tacharah >  [ thyself ]  in cedar <0730 >erez > ?  did not thy father <1> eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah > ,  and do <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat > and justice <6666 ts@daqah > ,   [ and ]  then <0227 >az >  [ it was ]  well <2896 towb > with him ?

 : 16 He judged <1777 diyn > the cause <1779 diyn > of the poor <6041 <aniy > and needy <34> ;  then <0227 >az >  [ it was ]  well <2896 towb >  [ with him : was ]  not this <1931 huw> > to know <1847 da<ath > me ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 17 But thine eyes <5869 <ayin > and thine heart <3820 leb >  [ are ]  not but for thy covetousness <1215 betsa< > ,  and for to shed <8210 shaphak > innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818 dam > ,  and for oppression <6233 <osheq > ,  and for violence <4835 m@rutsah > ,  to do <6213 <asah >  [ it ]  .

 : 18 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413 >el > Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ;  They shall not lament <5594 caphad > for him ,   [ saying ]  ,  Ah <1945 howy > my brother <0251 >ach > !  or ,  Ah <1945 howy > sister <0269 >achowth > !  they shall not lament <5594 caphad > for him ,   [ saying ]  ,  Ah <1945 howy > lord <0113 >adown > !  or ,  Ah <1945 howy > his glory <1935 howd > !

 : 19 He shall be buried <6912 qabar > with the burial <6900 q@buwrah > of an ass <2543 chamowr > ,  drawn <5498 cachab > and cast <7993 shalak > forth beyond <1973 hal@ah > the gates <8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

 : 20 .  Go <5927 <alah > up to Lebanon <3844 L@banown > ,  and cry <6817 tsa<aq > ;  and lift <5414 nathan > up thy voice <6963 qowl > in Bashan <1316 Bashan > ,  and cry <6817 tsa<aq > from the passages <5676 <eber > : for all <3605 kol > thy lovers <0157 >ahab > are destroyed <7665 shabar > .

 : 22 The wind <7307 ruwach > shall eat <7462 ra<ah > up all <3605 kol > thy pastors <7462 ra<ah > ,  and thy lovers <0157 >ahab > shall go <3212 yalak > into captivity <7628 sh@biy > : surely <3588 kiy > then <0227 >az > shalt thou be ashamed <0954 buwsh > and confounded <3637 kalam > for all <3605 kol > thy wickedness <7451 ra< > .

 : 23 O inhabitant <3427 yashab > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown > ,  that makest thy nest <7077 qanan > in the cedars <0730 >erez > ,  how <4100 mah > gracious <2603 chanan > shalt thou be when pangs <2256 chebel > come <0935 bow> > upon thee ,  the pain <2427 chiyl > as of a woman in travail <3205 yalad > !

 : 09 .  Mine heart <3820 leb > within <7130 qereb > me is broken <7665 shabar > because of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ;  all <3605 kol > my bones <6106 <etsem > shake <7363> ;  I am like a drunken <7910 shikkowr > man <0376 >iysh > ,  and like a man <1397 geber > whom wine <3196 yayin > hath overcome <5674 <abar > ,  because <6440 paniym > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and because <3588 kiy > of the words <1697 dabar > of his holiness <6944 qodesh > .

 : 10 For the land <0776 >erets > is full <4390 male> > of adulterers <5003 na>aph > ;  for because <6440 paniym > of swearing <0423 >alah > the land <0776 >erets > mourneth <56> ;  the pleasant <4999 na>ah > places of the wilderness <4057 midbar > are dried <3001 yabesh > up ,  and their course <4794 m@ruwtsah > is evil <7451 ra< > ,  and their force <1369 g@buwrah >  [ is ]  not right .

 : 11 For both <1571 gam > prophet <5030 nabiy> > and priest <3548 kohen > are profane <2610 chaneph > ;  yea <1571 gam > ,  in my house <1004 bayith > have I found <4672 matsa> > their wickedness <7451 ra< > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 12 Wherefore <3651 ken > their way <1870 derek > shall be unto them as slippery <2519 chalaqlaqqah >  [ ways ]  in the darkness <0653 >aphelah > : they shall be driven <1760 dachah > on ,  and fall <5307 naphal > therein : for I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra< > upon them ,   [ even ]  the year <8141 shaneh > of their visitation <6486 p@quddah > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 14 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > also in the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > an horrible <8186 sha<aruwrah > thing : they commit <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph > ,  and walk <1980 halak > in lies <8267 sheqer > : they strengthen <2388 chazaq > also the hands <3027 yad > of evildoers <7489 ra<a< > ,  that none <1115 biltiy > doth return <7725 shuwb > from his wickedness <7451 ra< > : they are all <3605 kol > of them unto me as Sodom <5467 C@dom > ,  and the inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof as Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah > .

 : 15 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > concerning <5921 <al > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will feed <0398 >akal > them with wormwood <3939 la<anah > ,  and make them drink <8248 shaqah > the water <4325 mayim > of gall <7219 ro>sh > : for from the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > is profaneness <2613 chanuphah > gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > into all <3605 kol > the land <0776 >erets > .

 : 16 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  Hearken <8085 shama< > not unto the words <1697 dabar > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that prophesy <5012 naba> > unto you : they make you vain <1891 habal > : they speak <1696 dabar > a vision <2377 chazown > of their own heart <3820 leb > ,   [ and ]  not out of the mouth <6310 peh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 17 They say <0559 >amar > still unto them that despise <5006 na>ats > me ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath said <1696 dabar > ,  Ye shall have <1961 hayah > peace <7965 shalowm > ;  and they say <0559 >amar > unto every <3605 kol > one that walketh <1980 halak > after the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of his own heart <3820 leb > ,  No <3808 lo> > evil <7451 ra< > shall come <0935 bow> > upon you .

 : 18 For who <4310 miy > hath stood <5975 <amad > in the counsel <5475 cowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and hath perceived <7200 ra>ah > and heard <8085 shama< > his word <1697 dabar > ?  who <4310 miy > hath marked <7181 qashab > his word <1697 dabar > ,  and heard <8085 shama< >  [ it ]  ?

 : 19 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  a whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > in fury <2534 chemah > ,  even a grievous <2342 chuwl > whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > : it shall fall <2342 chuwl > grievously <2342 chuwl > upon the head <7218 ro>sh > of the wicked <7563 rasha< > .

 : 20 The anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall not return <7725 shuwb > ,  until <5704 <ad > he have executed <6213 <asah > ,  and till <5704 <ad > he have performed <6965 quwm > the thoughts <4209 m@zimmah > of his heart <3820 leb > : in the latter <0319 >achariyth > days <3117 yowm > ye shall consider <0995 biyn > it perfectly <0998 biynah > .

 : 21 I have not sent <7971 shalach > these prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  yet they ran <7323 ruwts > : I have not spoken <1696 dabar > to them ,  yet they prophesied <5012 naba> > .

 : 22 But if they had stood <5975 <amad > in my counsel <5475 cowd > ,  and had caused my people <5971 <am > to hear <8085 shama< > my words <1697 dabar > ,  then they should have turned <7725 shuwb > them from their evil <7451 ra< > way <1870 derek > ,  and from the evil <7455 roa< > of their doings <4611 ma<alal > .

 : 23  [ Am ]  I a God <0430 >elohiym > at hand <7138 qarowb > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and not a God <0430 >elohiym > afar <7350 rachowq > off ?

 : 24 Can any <0376 >iysh > hide <5641 cathar > himself in secret <4565 mictar > places that I shall not see <7200 ra>ah > him ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .  Do not I fill <4390 male> > heaven <8064 shamayim > and earth <0776 >erets > ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 25 I have heard <8085 shama< > what the prophets <5030 nabiy> > said <0559 >amar > ,  that prophesy <5012 naba> > lies <8267 sheqer > in my name <8034 shem > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  I have dreamed <2492 chalam > ,  I have dreamed <2492 chalam > .

 : 26 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > shall  [ this ]  be in the heart <3820 leb > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that prophesy <5012 naba> > lies <8267 sheqer > ?  yea ,   [ they are ]  prophets <5030 nabiy> > of the deceit <8649 tormah > of their own heart <3820 leb > ;

 : 27 Which think <2803 chashab > to cause my people <5971 <am > to forget <7911 shakach > my name <8034 shem > by their dreams <2472 chalowm > which <0834 >aher > they tell <5608 caphar > every man <0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453 rea< > ,  as their fathers <1> have forgotten <7911 shakach > my name <8034 shem > for Baal <1168 Ba<al > .

 : 28 The prophet <5030 nabiy> > that hath a dream <2472 chalowm > ,  let him tell <5608 caphar > a dream <2472 chalowm > ;  and he that hath my word <1697 dabar > ,  let him speak <1696 dabar > my word <1697 dabar > faithfully <0571 >emeth > .  What <4100 mah >  [ is ]  the chaff <8401 teben > to the wheat <1250 bar > ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 29  [ Is ]  not my word <1697 dabar > like <3541 koh > as a fire <0784 >esh > ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  and like a hammer <6360 pattiysh >  [ that ]  breaketh <6327 puwts > the rock <5553 cela< > in pieces ?

 : 30 Therefore <3651 ken > ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  I  [ am ]  against <5921 <al > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that steal <1589 ganab > my words <1697 dabar > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > from his neighbour <7453 rea< > .

 : 32 Behold <2005 hen > ,  I  [ am ]  against <5921 <al > them that prophesy <5012 naba> > false <8267 sheqer > dreams <2472 chalowm > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and do <6213 <asah > tell <5608 caphar > them ,  and cause my people <5971 <am > to err <8582 ta<ah > by their lies <8267 sheqer > ,  and by their lightness <6350 pachazuwth > ;  yet I sent <7971 shalach > them not ,  nor <3808 lo> > commanded <6680 tsavah > them : therefore they shall not profit <3276 ya<al > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > at all ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 33 .  And when <3588 kiy > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ,  or <0176 >ow > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  or <0176 >ow > a priest <3548 kohen > ,  shall ask <7592 sha>al > thee ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah >  [ is ]  the burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ?  thou shalt then say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  What <4100 mah > burden <4853 massa> > ?  I will even forsake <5203 natash > you ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 34 And  [ as for ]  the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  and the priest <3548 kohen > ,  and the people <5971 <am > ,  that shall say <0559 >amar > ,  The burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  I will even punish <6485 paqad > that man <0376 >iysh > and his house <1004 bayith > .

 : 35 Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453 rea< > ,  and every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > to his brother <0251 >ach > ,  What <4100 mah > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > answered <6030 <anah > ?  and ,  What <4100 mah > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spoken <1696 dabar > ?

 : 36 And the burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall ye mention <2142 zakar > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > : for every man s <0376 >iysh > word <1697 dabar > shall be his burden <4853 massa> > ;  for ye have perverted <2015 haphak > the words <1697 dabar > of the living <2416 chay > God <0430 >elohiym > ,  of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > our God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 37 Thus <3541 koh > shalt thou say <0559 >amar > to the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  What <4100 mah > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > answered <6030 <anah > thee ?  and ,  What <4100 mah > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spoken <1696 dabar > ?

 : 38 But since <0518 >im > ye say <0559 >amar > ,  The burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Because <3282 ya<an > ye say <0559 >amar > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar > ,  The burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and I have sent <7971 shalach > unto you ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Ye shall not say <0559 >amar > ,  The burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;

 : 39 Therefore <3651 ken > ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  I ,  even I ,  will utterly forget <5382 nashah > you ,  and I will forsake <5203 natash > you ,  and the city <5892 <iyr > that I gave <5414 nathan > you and your fathers <1> ,   [ and cast you ]  out of my presence <6440 paniym > :

 : 01 .  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shewed <7200 ra>ah > me ,  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  two <8147 sh@nayim > baskets <1736 duwday > of figs <8384 t@>en >  [ were ]  set <3259 ya<ad > before <6440 paniym > the temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  after <0310 >achar > that Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > had carried <1540 galah > away captive <1540 galah > Jeconiah <3204 Y@konyah > the son <1121 ben > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and the princes <8269 sar > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  with the carpenters <2796 charash > and smiths <4525 macger > ,  from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and had brought <0935 bow> > them to Babylon <0894 Babel > .

 : 02 One <0259 >echad > basket <1731 duwd >  [ had ]  very <3966 m@<od > good <2896 towb > figs <8384 t@>en > ,   [ even ]  like the figs <8384 t@>en >  [ that are ]  first <1073 bakkurah > ripe : and the other <0259 >echad > basket <1731 duwd >  [ had ]  very <3966 m@<od > naughty <7451 ra< > figs <8384 t@>en > ,  which <0834 >aher > could not be eaten <0398 >akal > ,  they were so bad <7451 ra< > .

 : 04 Again the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 05 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  Like these <0428 >el - leh > good <2896 towb > figs <8384 t@>en > ,  so <3651 ken > will I acknowledge <5234 nakar > them that are carried <1546 galuwth > away captive <1546 galuwth > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  whom <0834 >aher > I have sent <7971 shalach > out of this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > into the land <0776 >erets > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > for  [ their ]  good <2896 towb > .

 : 06 For I will set <7760 suwm > mine eyes <5869 <ayin > upon them for good <2896 towb > ,  and I will bring <7725 shuwb > them again <7725 shuwb > to this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > : and I will build <1129 banah > them ,  and not pull <2040 harac >  [ them ]  down ;  and I will plant <5193 nata< > them ,  and not pluck <5428 nathash >  [ them ]  up .

 : 02 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Stand <5975<amad > in the court <2691 chatser > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith > ,  and speak <1696 dabar > unto all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  which come <0935 bow> > to worship <7812 shachah > in the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith > ,  all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee to speak <1696 dabar > unto them ;  diminish <1639 gara< > not a word <1697 dabar > :

 : 03 If <0194 >uwlay > so be they will hearken <8085 shama< > ,  and turn <7725 shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > from his evil <7451 ra< > way <1870 derek > ,  that I may repent <5162 nacham > me of the evil <7451 ra< > ,  which <0834 >aher > I purpose <2803 chashab > to do <6213 <asah > unto them because <6440 paniym > of the evil <7455 roa< > of their doings <4611 ma<alal > .

 : 04 And thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  If <0518 >im > ye will not hearken <8085 shama< > to me ,  to walk <1980 halak > in my law <8451 towrah > ,  which <0834 >aher > I have set <5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym > you ,

 : 05 To hearken <8085 shama< > to the words <1697 dabar > of my servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  whom <0834 >aher > I sent <7971 shalach > unto you ,  both rising <7925 shakam > up early <7925 shakam > ,  and sending <7971 shalach >  [ them ]  ,  but ye have not hearkened <8085 shama< > ;

 : 06 Then will I make <5414 nathan > this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > like Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh > ,  and will make <5414 nathan > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > a curse <7045 q@lalah > to all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > of the earth <0776 >erets > .

 : 07 .  So the priests <3548 kohen > and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > heard <8085 shama< > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > speaking <1696 dabar > these <0428 >el - leh > words <1697 dabar > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 08 Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > had made an end <3615 kalah > of speaking <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had commanded <6680 tsavah >  [ him ]  to speak <1696 dabar > unto all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,  that the priests <3548 kohen > and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > took <8610 taphas > him ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thou shalt surely die <4191 muwth > .

 : 09 Why <4069 madduwa< > hast thou prophesied <5012 naba> > in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  This <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > shall be like Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh > ,  and this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > shall be desolate <2717 charab > without <0369 >ayin > an inhabitant <3427 yashab > ?  And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > were gathered <6950 qahal > against <0413 >el > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 10 When the princes <8269 sar > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > heard <8085 shama< > these <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > ,  then they came <5927 <alah > up from the king s <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith > unto the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and sat <3427 yashab > down in the entry <6607 pethach > of the new <2319 chadash > gate <8179 sha<ar > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah >  [ house ]  .

 : 11 Then spake <0559 >amar > the priests <3548 kohen > and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > unto the princes <8269 sar > and to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  This <2088 zeh > man <0376 >iysh >  [ is ]  worthy to die <4194 maveth > ;  for he hath prophesied <5012 naba> > against <0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > ,  as ye have heard <8085 shama< > with your ears <0241 >ozen > .

 : 12 Then spake <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > and to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > sent <7971 shalach > me to prophesy <5012 naba> > against <0413 >el > this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > and against <0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > that ye have heard <8085 shama< > .

 : 13 Therefore now <6258 <attah > amend <3190 yatab > your ways <1870 derek > and your doings <4611 ma<alal > ,  and obey <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > ;  and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will repent <5162 nacham > him of the evil <7451 ra< > that he hath pronounced <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al > you .

 : 14 As for me ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  I  [ am ]  in your hand <3027 yad > : do <6213 <asah > with me as seemeth <5869 <ayin > good <2896 towb > and meet <3477 yashar > unto you .

 : 15 But know <3045 yada< > ye for certain <3045 yada< > ,  that if <0518 >im > ye put me to death <4191 muwth > ,  ye shall surely <3588 kiy > bring <5414 nathan > innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818 dam > upon yourselves ,  and upon this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > ,  and upon the inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof : for of a truth <0571 >emeth > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971 shalach > me unto you to speak <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > words <1697 dabar > in your ears <0241 >ozen > .

 : 16 .  Then said <0559 >amar > the princes <8269 sar > and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > unto the priests <3548 kohen > and to the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ;  This <2088 zeh > man <0376 >iysh >  [ is ]  not worthy to die <4194 maveth > : for he hath spoken <1696 dabar > to us in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 17 Then rose <6965 quwm > up certain <0582 >enowsh > of the elders <2205 zaqen > of the land <0776 >erets > ,  and spake <0559 >amar > to all <3605 kol > the assembly <6951 qahal > of the people <5971 <am > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 18 Micah <4320 Miykayah > the Morasthite <4183 Morashtiy > prophesied <5012naba> > in the days <3117 yowm > of Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and spake <0559 >amar > to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ;  Zion <6726 Tsiyown > shall be plowed <2790 charash >  [ like ]  a field <7704 sadeh > ,  and Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > shall become <1961 hayah > heaps <5856 <iy > ,  and the mountain <2022 har > of the house <1004 bayith > as the high <1116 bamah > places of a forest <3293 ya<ar > .

 : 19 Did Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > put him at all <3605 kol > to death <4191 muwth > ?  did he not fear <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and besought <2470 chalah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > repented <5162 nacham > him of the evil <7451 ra< > which <0834 >aher > he had pronounced <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al > them ?  Thus might we procure <6213 <asah > great <1419 gadowl > evil <7451 ra< > against <5921 <al > our souls <5315 nephesh > .

 : 20 And there was also <1571 gam > a man <0376 >iysh > that prophesied <5012 naba> > in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Urijah <0223 >Uwriyah > the son <1121 ben > of Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > of Kirjathjearim <7157 Qiryath Y@<ariym > ,  who prophesied <5012 naba> > against <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > and against <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > according to all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > :

 : 13 Why <4100 mah > will ye die <4191 muwth > ,  thou and thy people <5971 <am > ,  by the sword <2719 chereb > ,  by the famine <7458 ra<ab > ,  and by the pestilence <1698 deber > ,  as the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > against <0413 >el > the nation <1471 gowy > that will not serve <5647 <abad > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > ?

 : 14 Therefore hearken <8085 shama< > not unto the words <1697 dabar > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that speak <0559 >amar > unto you ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Ye shall not serve <5647 <abad > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > : for they prophesy <5012 naba> > a lie <8267 sheqer > unto you .

 : 15 For I have not sent <7971 shalach > them ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  yet they prophesy <5012 naba> > a lie <8267 sheqer > in my name <8034 shem > ;  that I might drive <5080 nadach > you out ,  and that ye might perish <6> ,  ye ,  and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that prophesy <5012 naba> > unto you .

 : 16 Also I spake <1696 dabar > to the priests <3548 kohen > and to all <3605 kol > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Hearken <8085 shama< > not to the words <1697 dabar > of your prophets <5030 nabiy> > that prophesy <5012 naba> > unto you ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the vessels <3627 k@liy > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith > shall now <6258 <attah > shortly <4120 m@herah > be brought <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > from Babylon <0894 Babel > : for they prophesy <5012 naba> > a lie <8267 sheqer > unto you .

 : 17 Hearken <8085 shama< > not unto them ;  serve <5647 <abad > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  and live <2421 chayah > : wherefore <4100 mah > should this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > be laid waste <2723 chorbah > ?

 : 02  ( After that Jeconiah <3204 Y@konyah > the king <4428 melek > ,  and the queen <1377 g@biyrah > ,  and the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > ,  the princes <8269 sar > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and the carpenters <2796 charash > ,  and the smiths <4525 macger > ,  were departed <3318 yatsa> > from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ;  )

 : 03 By the hand <3027 yad > of Elasah <0501 >El<asah > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan > ,  and Gemariah <1587 G@maryah > the son <1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah > ,   ( whom Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > sent <7971 shalach > unto Babylon <0894 Babel > to Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > )  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 04 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  unto all <3605 kol > that are carried <1473 gowlah > away captives <1473 gowlah > ,  whom <0834 >aher > I have caused to be carried <1540 galah > away from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > unto Babylon <0894 Babel > ;

 : 05 Build <1129 banah > ye houses <1004 bayith > ,  and dwell <3427 yashab >  [ in them ]  ;  and plant <5193 nata< > gardens <1593 gannah > ,  and eat <0398 >akal > the fruit <6529 p@riy > of them ;

 : 06 Take <3947 laqach > ye wives <0802 >ishshah > ,  and beget <3205 yalad > sons <1121 ben > and daughters <1121 ben > ;  and take <3947 laqach > wives <0802 >ishshah > for your sons <1121 ben > ,  and give <5414 nathan > your daughters <1121 ben > to husbands <0582 >enowsh > ,  that they may bear <3205 yalad > sons <1121 ben > and daughters <1121 ben > ;  that ye may be increased <7235 rabah > there <8033 sham > ,  and not diminished <4591 ma<at > .

 : 07 And seek <1875 darash > the peace <7965 shalowm > of the city <5892 <iyr > whither I have caused you to be carried <1540 galah > away captives <1540 galah > ,  and pray <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > for it : for in the peace <7965 shalowm > thereof shall ye have peace <7965 shalowm > .

 : 08 .  For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  Let not your prophets <5030 nabiy> > and your diviners <7080 qacam > ,  that  [ be ]  in the midst <7130 qereb > of you ,  deceive <5377 nasha> > you ,  neither <0408 >al > hearken <8085 shama< > to your dreams <2472 chalowm > which <0834 >aher > ye cause to be dreamed <2492 chalam > .

 : 09 For they prophesy <5012 naba> > falsely <8267 sheqer > unto you in my name <8034 shem > : I have not sent <7971 shalach > them ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 10 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  That after <6310 peh > seventy <7657 shib<iym .  > years <8141 shaneh > be accomplished <4390 male> > at Babylon <0894 Babel > I will visit <6485 paqad > you ,  and perform <6965 quwm > my good <2896 towb > word <1697 dabar > toward <5921 <al > you ,  in causing you to return <7725 shuwb > to this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > .

 : 11 For I know <3045 yada< > the thoughts <4284 machashabah > that I think <2803 chashab > toward <5921 <al > you ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  thoughts <4284 machashabah > of peace <7965 shalowm > ,  and not of evil <7451 ra< > ,  to give <5414 nathan > you an expected <8615 tiqvah > end <0319 >achariyth > .

 : 12 Then shall ye call <7121 qara> > upon me ,  and ye shall go <1980 halak > and pray <6419 palal > unto me ,  and I will hearken <8085 shama< > unto you .

 : 13 And ye shall seek <1245 baqash > me ,  and find <4672 matsa> >  [ me ]  ,  when <3588 kiy > ye shall search <1875 darash > for me with all <3605 kol > your heart <3824 lebab > .

 : 14 And I will be found <4672 matsa> > of you ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and I will turn <7725 shuwb > away your captivity <7622 sh@buwth > ,  and I will gather <6908 qabats > you from all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > ,  and from all <3605 kol > the places <4725 maqowm > whither I have driven <5080 nadach > you ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  and I will bring <7725 shuwb > you again <7725 shuwb > into <0413 >el > the place <4725 maqowm > whence I caused you to be carried <1540 galah > away captive <1540 galah > .

 : 15 .  Because <3588 kiy > ye have said <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath raised <6965 quwm > us up prophets <5030 nabiy> > in Babylon <0894 Babel > ;

 : 16  [ Know ]  that thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of the king <4428 melek > that sitteth <3427 yashab > upon the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David > ,  and of all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > that dwelleth <3427 yashab > in this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > ,   [ and ]  of your brethren <0251 >ach > that are not gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > with you into captivity <1473 gowlah > ;

 : 17 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ;  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will send <7971 shalach > upon them the sword <2719 chereb > ,  the famine <7458 ra<ab > ,  and the pestilence <1698 deber > ,  and will make <5414 nathan > them like vile <8182 sho<ar > figs <8384 t@>en > ,  that cannot <3808 lo> > be eaten <0398 >akal > ,  they are so evil <7455 roa< > .

 : 18 And I will persecute them with the sword <2719 chereb > ,  with the famine <7458 ra<ab > ,  and with the pestilence <1698 deber > ,  and will deliver <5414 nathan > them to be removed <2189 za<avah > to all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of the earth <0776 >erets > ,  to be a curse <0423 >alah > ,  and an astonishment <8047 shammah > ,  and an hissing <8322 sh@reqah > ,  and a reproach <2781 cherpah > ,  among all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > whither I have driven <5080 nadach > them :

 : 19 Because they have not hearkened <8085 shama< > to my words <1697 dabar > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  which <0834 >aher > I sent <7971 shalach > unto them by my servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  rising <7925 shakam > up early <7925 shakam > and sending <7971 shalach >  [ them ]  ;  but ye would not hear <8085 shama< > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
