Then said [0559] I, Ah [0162], Lord [0136] God [03069]! behold, I cannot [03045] speak [01696]: for I am a child [05288].
But the Lord [03068] said [0559] unto me, Say [0559] not, I am a child [05288]: for thou shalt go [03212] to all that I shall send [07971] thee, and whatsoever I command [06680] thee thou shalt speak [01696].
And I will utter [01696] my judgments [04941] against them touching [05921] all their wickedness [07451], who have forsaken [05800] me, and have burned incense [06999] unto other [0312] gods [0430], and worshipped [07812] the works [04639] of their own hands [03027].
Thou therefore gird up [0247] thy loins [04975], and arise [06965], and speak [01696] unto them all that I command [06680] thee: be not dismayed [02865] at their faces [06440], lest I confound [02865] thee before [06440] them.confound: or, break to pieces
Will he reserve [05201] his anger for ever [05769]? will he keep [08104] it to the end [05331]? Behold, thou hast spoken [01696] and done [06213] evil things [07451] as thou couldest [03201].
Even a full [04392] wind [07307] from those places shall come [0935] unto me: now also will I give [01696] sentence [04941] against them.a full…: or, a fuller wind than thosegive…: Heb. utter judgments
For this shall the earth [0776] mourn [056], and the heavens [08064] above [04605] be black [06937]: because I have spoken [01696] it, I have purposed [02161] it, and will not repent [05162], neither will I turn back [07725] from it.
I will get [03212] me unto the great men [01419], and will speak [01696] unto them; for they have known [03045] the way [01870] of the Lord [03068], and the judgment [04941] of their God [0430]: but these have altogether [03162] broken [07665] the yoke [05923], and burst [05423] the bonds [04147].
And the prophets [05030] shall become wind [07307], and the word [01696] is not in them: thus shall it be done [06213] unto them.
Wherefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635], Because ye speak [01696] this word [01697], behold, I will make [05414] my words [01697] in thy mouth [06310] fire [0784], and this people [05971] wood [06086], and it shall devour [0398] them.
Lo, I will bring [0935] a nation [01471] upon you from far [04801], O house [01004] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the Lord [03068]: it is a mighty [0386] nation [01471], it is an ancient [05769] nation [01471], a nation [01471] whose language [03956] thou knowest [03045] not, neither understandest [08085] what they say [01696].
To whom shall I speak [01696], and give warning [05749], that they may hear [08085]? behold, their ear [0241] is uncircumcised [06189], and they cannot [03201] hearken [07181]: behold, the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] is unto them a reproach [02781]; they have no delight [02654] in it.
And now, because ye have done [06213] all these works [04639], saith [05002] the Lord [03068], and I spake [01696] unto you, rising up early [07925] and speaking [01696], but ye heard [08085] not; and I called [07121] you, but ye answered [06030] not;
For I spake [01696] not unto your fathers [01], nor commanded [06680] them in the day [03117] that I brought them out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], concerning [01697] burnt offerings [05930] or sacrifices [02077]:concerning: Heb. concerning the matter of
Therefore thou shalt speak [01696] all these words [01697] unto them; but they will not hearken [08085] to thee: thou shalt also call [07121] unto them; but they will not answer [06030] thee.
I hearkened [07181] and heard [08085], but they spake not aright [01696]: no man [0376] repented [05162] him of [05921] his wickedness [07451], saying [0559], What have I done [06213]? every one turned [07725] to his course [04794], as the horse [05483] rusheth [07857] into the battle [04421].
And they will deceive [02048] every one [0376] his neighbour [07453], and will not speak [01696] the truth [0571]: they have taught [03925] their tongue [03956] to speak [01696] lies [08267], and weary [03811] themselves to commit iniquity [05753].deceive: or, mock
Their tongue [03956] is as an arrow [02671] shot out [07819]; it speaketh [01696] deceit [04820]: one speaketh [01696] peaceably [07965] to his neighbour [07453] with his mouth [06310], but in heart [07130] he layeth [07760] his wait [0696].in heart: Heb. in the midst of himhis wait: or, wait for him
Who is the wise [02450] man [0376], that may understand [0995] this? and who is he to whom the mouth [06310] of the Lord [03068] hath spoken [01696], that he may declare [05046] it, for what the land [0776] perisheth [06] and is burned up [03341] like a wilderness [04057], that none passeth through [05674]?
Speak [01696], Thus saith [05002] the Lord [03068], Even the carcases [05038] of men [0120] shall fall [05307] as dung [01828] upon the open [06440] field [07704], and as the handful [05995] after [0310] the harvestman [07114], and none shall gather [0622] them.
Hear [08085] ye the word [01697] which the Lord [03068] speaketh [01696] unto you, O house [01004] of Israel [03478]:
They are upright [04749] as the palm tree [08560], but speak [01696] not: they must needs [05375] be borne [05375], because they cannot go [06805]. Be not afraid [03372] of them; for they cannot do evil [07489], neither also is it in them to do good [03190].
Hear [08085] ye the words [01697] of this covenant [01285], and speak [01696] unto the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and to the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389];
For the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635], that planted [05193] thee, hath pronounced [01696] evil [07451] against thee, for [01558] the evil [07451] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] and of the house [01004] of Judah [03063], which they have done [06213] against themselves to provoke me to anger [03707] in offering incense [06999] unto Baal [01168].
Righteous [06662] art thou, O Lord [03068], when I plead [07378] with thee: yet let me talk [01696] with thee of thy judgments [04941]: Wherefore doth the way [01870] of the wicked [07563] prosper [06743]? wherefore are all they happy [07951] that deal very [0899] treacherously [0898]?talk…: or, reason the case with thee
For even thy brethren [0251], and the house [01004] of thy father [01], even they have dealt treacherously [0898] with thee; yea, they have called [07121] a multitude [04392] after [0310] thee: believe [0539] them not, though they speak [01696] fair words [02896] unto thee.they have called…: or, they cried after thee fullyfair…: Heb. good things
Hear [08085] ye, and give ear [0238]; be not proud [01361]: for the Lord [03068] hath spoken [01696].
Then the Lord [03068] said [0559] unto me, The prophets [05030] prophesy [05012] lies [08267] in my name [08034]: I sent [07971] them not, neither have I commanded [06680] them, neither spake [01696] unto them: they prophesy [05012] unto you a false [08267] vision [02377] and divination [07081], and a thing of nought [0434] [0457], and the deceit [08649] of their heart [03820].
And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew [05046] this people [05971] all these words [01697], and they shall say [0559] unto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord [03068] pronounced [01696] all this great [01419] evil [07451] against us? or what is our iniquity [05771]? or what is our sin [02403] that we have committed [02398] against the Lord [03068] our God [0430]?
At what instant [07281] I shall speak [01696] concerning a nation [01471], and concerning a kingdom [04467], to pluck up [05428], and to pull down [05422], and to destroy [06] it;
If that nation [01471], against whom I have pronounced [01696], turn [07725] from their evil [07451], I will repent [05162] of the evil [07451] that I thought [02803] to do [06213] unto them.
And at what instant [07281] I shall speak [01696] concerning a nation [01471], and concerning a kingdom [04467], to build [01129] and to plant [05193] it;
Shall evil [07451] be recompensed [07999] for good [02896]? for they have digged [03738] a pit [07745] for my soul [05315]. Remember [02142] that I stood [05975] before [06440] thee to speak [01696] good [02896] for them, and to turn away [07725] thy wrath [02534] from them.
And go forth [03318] unto the valley [01516] of the son [01121] of Hinnom [02011], which is by the entry [06607] of the east [02777] gate [08179], and proclaim [07121] there the words [01697] that I shall tell [01696] thee,the east…: Heb. the sun gate
They have built [01129] also the high places [01116] of Baal [01168], to burn [08313] their sons [01121] with fire [0784] for burnt offerings [05930] unto Baal [01168], which I commanded [06680] not, nor spake [01696] it, neither came [05927] it into my mind [03820]:
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will bring [0935] upon this city [05892] and upon all her towns [05892] all the evil [07451] that I have pronounced [01696] against it, because they have hardened [07185] their necks [06203], that they might not hear [08085] my words [01697].
For since [01767] I spake [01696], I cried out [02199], I cried [07121] violence [02555] and spoil [07701]; because the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] was made a reproach [02781] unto me, and a derision [07047], daily [03117].
Then I said [0559], I will not make mention [02142] of him, nor speak [01696] any more in his name [08034]. But his word was in mine heart [03820] as a burning [01197] fire [0784] shut up [06113] in my bones [06106], and I was weary [03811] with forbearing [03557], and I could [03201] not stay.
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; Go down [03381] to the house [01004] of the king [04428] of Judah [03063], and speak [01696] there this word [01697],
I spake [01696] unto thee in thy prosperity [07962]; but thou saidst [0559], I will not hear [08085]. This hath been thy manner [01870] from thy youth [05271], that thou obeyedst [08085] not my voice [06963].prosperity: Heb. prosperities
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635], Hearken [08085] not unto the words [01697] of the prophets [05030] that prophesy [05012] unto you: they make you vain [01891]: they speak [01696] a vision [02377] of their own heart [03820], and not out of the mouth [06310] of the Lord [03068].
They say [0559] still [0559] unto them that despise [05006] me, The Lord [03068] hath said [01696], Ye shall have peace [07965]; and they say [0559] unto every one that walketh [01980] after the imagination [08307] of his own heart [03820], No evil [07451] shall come [0935] upon you.imagination: or, stubbornness
I have not sent [07971] these prophets [05030], yet they ran [07323]: I have not spoken [01696] to them, yet they prophesied [05012].
The prophet [05030] that hath a dream [02472], let him tell [05608] a dream [02472]; and he that hath my word [01697], let him speak [01696] my word [01697] faithfully [0571]. What is the chaff [08401] to the wheat [01250]? saith [05002] the Lord [03068].that hath a dream: Heb. with whom is, etc
Thus shall ye say [0559] every one [0376] to his neighbour [07453], and every one [0376] to his brother [0251], What hath the Lord [03068] answered [06030]? and, What hath the Lord [03068] spoken [01696]?
Thus shalt thou say [0559] to the prophet [05030], What hath the Lord [03068] answered [06030] thee? and, What hath the Lord [03068] spoken [01696]?
The which Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] spake [01696] unto all the people [05971] of Judah [03063], and to all the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559],
From the thirteenth [06240] [07969] year [08141] of Josiah [02977] the son [01121] of Amon [0526] king [04428] of Judah [03063], even unto this day [03117], that is the three [07969] and twentieth [06242] year [08141], the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] hath come unto me, and I have spoken [01696] unto you, rising early [07925] and speaking [01696]; but ye have not hearkened [08085].
And I will bring [0935] upon that land [0776] all my words [01697] which I have pronounced [01696] against it, even all that is written [03789] in this book [05612], which Jeremiah [03414] hath prophesied [05012] against all the nations [01471].
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; Stand [05975] in the court [02691] of the Lord's [03068] house [01004], and speak [01696] unto all the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], which come [0935] to worship [07812] in the Lord's [03068] house [01004], all the words [01697] that I command [06680] thee to speak [01696] unto them; diminish [01639] not a word [01697]:
So the priests [03548] and the prophets [05030] and all the people [05971] heard [08085] Jeremiah [03414] speaking [01696] these words [01697] in the house [01004] of the Lord [03068].
Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah [03414] had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] all that the Lord [03068] had commanded [06680] him to speak [01696] unto all the people [05971], that the priests [03548] and the prophets [05030] and all the people [05971] took [08610] him, saying [0559], Thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191].
Therefore now amend [03190] your ways [01870] and your doings [04611], and obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] your God [0430]; and the Lord [03068] will repent [05162] him of the evil [07451] that he hath pronounced [01696] against you.
But know [03045] ye for certain [03045], that if ye put me to death [04191], ye shall surely bring [05414] innocent [05355] blood [01818] upon yourselves, and upon this city [05892], and upon the inhabitants [03427] thereof: for of a truth [0571] the Lord [03068] hath sent [07971] me unto you to speak [01696] all these words [01697] in your ears [0241].
Then said [0559] the princes [08269] and all the people [05971] unto the priests [03548] and to the prophets [05030]; This man [0376] is not worthy [04941] to die [04194]: for he hath spoken [01696] to us in the name [08034] of the Lord [03068] our God [0430].
Did Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063] and all Judah [03063] put him at all [04191] to death [04191]? did he not fear [03373] the Lord [03068], and besought [02470] the Lord [06440] [03068], and the Lord [03068] repented [05162] him of the evil [07451] which he had pronounced [01696] against them? Thus [0587] might we procure [06213] great [01419] evil [07451] against our souls [05315].the Lord, and the: Heb. the face of the Lord, etc
I spake [01696] also to Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] according to all these words [01697], saying [0559], Bring [0935] your necks [06677] under the yoke [05923] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and serve [05647] him and his people [05971], and live [02421].
Why will ye die [04191], thou and thy people [05971], by the sword [02719], by the famine [07458], and by the pestilence [01698], as the Lord [03068] hath spoken [01696] against the nation [01471] that will not serve [05647] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]?
Also I spake [01696] to the priests [03548] and to all this people [05971], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; Hearken [08085] not to the words [01697] of your prophets [05030] that prophesy [05012] unto you, saying [0559], Behold, the vessels [03627] of the Lord's [03068] house [01004] shall now shortly [04120] be brought again [07725] from Babylon [0894]: for they prophesy [05012] a lie [08267] unto you.
Nevertheless hear [08085] thou now this word [01697] that I speak [01696] in thine ears [0241], and in the ears [0241] of all the people [05971];
Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; Behold, I will cast [07971] thee from off the face [06440] of the earth [0127]: this year [08141] thou shalt die [04191], because thou hast taught [01696] rebellion [05627] against the Lord [03068].rebellion: Heb. revolt
Because they have committed [06213] villany [05039] in Israel [03478], and have committed [06213] adultery [05003] with their neighbours' [07453] wives [0802], and have spoken [01696] lying [08267] words [01697] in my name [08034], which I have not commanded [06680] them; even I know [03045], and am a witness [05707], saith [05002] the Lord [03068].
Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; Behold, I will punish [06485] Shemaiah [08098] the Nehelamite [05161], and his seed [02233]: he shall not have a man [0376] to dwell [03427] among [08432] this people [05971]; neither shall he behold [07200] the good [02896] that I will do [06213] for my people [05971], saith [05002] the Lord [03068]; because he hath taught [01696] rebellion [05627] against the Lord [03068].rebellion: Heb. revolt
Thus speaketh [0559] the Lord [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Write [03789] thee all the words [01697] that I have spoken [01696] unto thee in a book [05612].
And these are the words [01697] that the Lord [03068] spake [01696] concerning Israel [03478] and concerning Judah [03063].
Is Ephraim [0669] my dear [03357] son [01121]? is he a pleasant [08191] child [03206]? for since [01767] I spake [01696] against him, I do earnestly [02142] remember [02142] him still: therefore my bowels [04578] are troubled [01993] for him; I will surely [07355] have mercy [07355] upon him, saith [05002] the Lord [03068].are…: Heb. sound
And Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] shall not escape [04422] out of the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778], but shall surely [05414] be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and shall speak [01696] with him mouth [06310] to mouth [06310], and his eyes [05869] shall behold [07200] his eyes [05869];
Behold the mounts [05550], they are come [0935] unto the city [05892] to take [03920] it; and the city [05892] is given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778], that fight [03898] against it, because [06440] of the sword [02719], and of the famine [07458], and of the pestilence [01698]: and what thou hast spoken [01696] is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest [07200] it.mounts: or, engines of shot
