HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 which the LORDH3068 speakethH1696 unto you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, LearnH3925 not the wayH1870 of the heathenH1471, and be not dismayedH2865 at the signsH226 of heavenH8064; for the heathenH1471 are dismayedH2865 at themH1992.
For the customsH2708 of the peopleH5971 are vainH1892: for one cuttethH3772 a treeH6086 out of the forestH3293, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the workmanH2796, with the axeH4621. {customs…: Heb. statutes, or, ordinances are vanity}
They deckH3302 it with silverH3701 and with goldH2091; they fastenH2388 it with nailsH4548 and with hammersH4717, that it moveH6328 not.
They are uprightH4749 as the palm treeH8560, but speakH1696 not: they must needsH5375 be borneH5375, because they cannot goH6805. Be not afraidH3372 of them; for they cannot do evilH7489, neither also is it in them to do goodH3190.
Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORDH3068; thou art greatH1419, and thy nameH8034 is greatH1419 in mightH1369.
Who would not fearH3372 thee, O KingH4428 of nationsH1471? for to thee doth it appertainH2969: forasmuch as among all the wiseH2450 men of the nationsH1471, and in all their kingdomsH4438, there is none like unto thee. {to…: or, it liketh thee}
But they are altogetherH259 brutishH1197 and foolishH3688: the stockH6086 is a doctrineH4148 of vanitiesH1892. {altogether: Heb. in one, or, at once}
SilverH3701 spread into platesH7554 is broughtH935 from TarshishH8659, and goldH2091 from UphazH210, the workH4639 of the workmanH2796, and of the handsH3027 of the founderH6884: blueH8504 and purpleH713 is their clothingH3830: they are all the workH4639 of cunningH2450 men.
But the LORDH3068 is the trueH571 GodH430, he is the livingH2416 GodH430, and an everlastingH5769 kingH4428: at his wrathH7110 the earthH776 shall trembleH7493, and the nationsH1471 shall not be able to abideH3557 his indignationH2195. {true…: Heb. God of truth} {everlasting…: Heb. king of eternity}
ThusH1836 shall ye sayH560 unto them, The godsH426 that have notH3809 madeH5648 the heavensH8065 and the earthH778, even they shall perishH7 from the earthH772, and from underH8460 theseH429 heavensH8065.
He hath madeH6213 the earthH776 by his powerH3581, he hath establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by his wisdomH2451, and hath stretched outH5186 the heavensH8064 by his discretionH8394.
When he utterethH5414 his voiceH6963, there is a multitudeH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064, and he causeth the vapoursH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776; he makethH6213 lightningsH1300 with rainH4306, and bringeth forthH3318 the windH7307 out of his treasuresH214. {multitude: or, noise} {with: or, for}
Every manH120 is brutishH1197 in his knowledgeH1847: every founderH6884 is confoundedH3001 by the graven imageH6459: for his molten imageH5262 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them. {brutish in his knowledge: or, more brutish than to know}
They are vanityH1892, and the workH4639 of errorsH8595: in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall perishH6.
The portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is not like them: for he is the formerH3335 of all things; and IsraelH3478 is the rodH7626 of his inheritanceH5159: The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.
Gather upH622 thy waresH3666 out of the landH776, O inhabitantH3427 of the fortressH4692. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will slingH7049 out the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 at this onceH6471, and will distressH6887 them, that they may findH4672 it so.
WoeH188 is me for my hurtH7667! my woundH4347 is grievousH2470: but I saidH559, TrulyH389 this is a griefH2483, and I must bearH5375 it.
My tabernacleH168 is spoiledH7703, and all my cordsH4340 are brokenH5423: my childrenH1121 are gone forthH3318 of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forthH5186 my tentH168 any more, and to set upH6965 my curtainsH3407.
For the pastorsH7462 are become brutishH1197, and have not soughtH1875 the LORDH3068: therefore they shall not prosperH7919, and all their flocksH4830 shall be scatteredH6327.
Behold, the noiseH6963 of the bruitH8052 is comeH935, and a greatH1419 commotionH7494 out of the northH6828 countryH776, to makeH7760 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 desolateH8077, and a denH4583 of dragonsH8577.
O LORDH3068, I knowH3045 that the wayH1870 of manH120 is not in himself: it is not in manH376 that walkethH1980 to directH3559 his stepsH6806.
O LORDH3068, correctH3256 me, but with judgmentH4941; not in thine angerH639, lest thou bring me to nothingH4591. {bring…: Heb. diminish me}
Pour outH8210 thy furyH2534 upon the heathenH1471 that knowH3045 thee not, and upon the familiesH4940 that callH7121 not on thy nameH8034: for they have eaten upH398 JacobH3290, and devouredH398 him, and consumedH3615 him, and have made his habitationH5116 desolateH8074.
Querverweise zu Jeremia 10,25 Jer 10,25
Pour outH8210 thy wrathH2534 upon the heathenH1471 that have not knownH3045 thee, and upon the kingdomsH4467 that have not calledH7121 upon thy nameH8034.
Surely such are the dwellingsH4908 of the wickedH5767, and this is the placeH4725 of him that knowethH3045 not GodH410.
Have all the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 no knowledgeH3045? who eat upH398 my peopleH5971 as they eatH398 breadH3899, and callH7121 not upon the LORDH3068.
The snortingH5170 of his horsesH5483 was heardH8085 from DanH1835: the whole landH776 trembledH7493 at the soundH6963 of the neighingH4684 of his strong onesH47; for they are comeH935, and have devouredH398 the landH776, and allH4393 that is in it; the cityH5892, and those that dwellH3427 therein. {all…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
O righteousG1342 FatherG3962, the worldG2889 hathG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 theeG4571: butG1161 IG1473 have knownG1097 theeG4571, andG2532 theseG3778 have knownG1097 thatG3754 thouG4771 hast sentG649 meG3165.
But thou hast not calledH7121 upon me, O JacobH3290; but thou hast been wearyH3021 of me, O IsraelH3478.
All that foundH4672 them have devouredH398 them: and their adversariesH6862 saidH559, We offendH816 not, because they have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068, the habitationH5116 of justiceH6664, even the LORDH3068, the hopeH4723 of their fathersH1.
ForG1063 as I passed byG1330, andG2532 beheldG333 yourG5216 devotionsG4574+G2532, I foundG2147 an altarG1041 with thisG1722+G3739 inscriptionG1924, TO THE UNKNOWNG57 GODG2316. WhomG3739 thereforeG3767 ye ignorantlyG50 worshipG2151, himG5126 declareG2605 IG1473 unto youG5213. {devotions: or, gods that ye worship}
And there is none that callethH7121 upon thy nameH8034, that stirreth upH5782 himself to take holdH2388 of thee: for thou hast hidH5641 thy faceH6440 from us, and hast consumedH4127 us, becauseH3027 of our iniquitiesH5771. {consumed: Heb. melted} {because: Heb. by the hand}
IsraelH3478 is a scatteredH6340 sheepH7716; the lionsH738 have driven him awayH5080: firstH7223 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hath devouredH398 him; and lastH314 this NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath broken his bonesH6105.
AwakeG1594 to righteousnessG1346, andG2532 sinG264 notG3361; forG1063 someG5100 haveG2192 not the knowledgeG56 of GodG2316: I speakG3004 this toG4314 yourG5213 shameG1791.
And them that are turned backH5472 fromH310 the LORDH3068; and those that have not soughtH1245 the LORDH3068, nor enquiredH1875 for him.
NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath devouredH398 me, he hath crushedH2000 me, he hath madeH3322 me an emptyH7385 vesselH3627, he hath swallowed me upH1104 like a dragonH8577, he hath filledH4390 his bellyH3770 with my delicatesH5730, he hath cast me outH1740.
NotG3361 inG1722 the lustG3806 of concupiscenceG1939, evenG2532 asG2509 the GentilesG1484 whichG3588 knowG1492 notG3361 GodG2316:
The violenceH2555 done to me and to my fleshH7607 be upon BabylonH894, shall the inhabitantH3427 of ZionH6726 sayH559; and my bloodH1818 upon the inhabitantsH3427 of ChaldeaH3778, shall JerusalemH3389 sayH559. {The violence…: Heb. My violence} {flesh: or, remainder} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
InG1722 flamingG5395 fireG4442 takingG1325 vengeanceG1557 on them that knowG1492 notG3361 GodG2316, andG2532 that obeyG5219 notG3361 the gospelG2098 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {taking: or, yielding}
When the wickedH7489, even mine enemiesH6862 and my foesH341, cameH7126 upon me to eat upH398 my fleshH1320, they stumbledH3782 and fellH5307. {came…: Heb. approached against me}
Thou hast calledH7121 as in a solemnH4150 dayH3117 my terrorsH4032 round aboutH5439, so that in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 none escapedH6412 nor remainedH8300: those that I have swaddledH2946 and brought upH7235 hath mine enemyH341 consumedH3615.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast clappedH4222 thine handsH3027, and stampedH7554 with the feetH7272, and rejoicedH8055 in heartH5315 with all thy despiteH7589 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
Behold, therefore I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and will deliverH5414 thee for a spoilH957+H897 to the heathenH1471; and I will cut thee offH3772 from the peopleH5971, and I will cause thee to perishH6 out of the countriesH776: I will destroyH8045 thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a spoil: or, meat}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; BecauseH3282 that MoabH4124 and SeirH8165 do sayH559, Behold, the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 is like unto all the heathenH1471;
Because thou hast had a perpetualH5769 hatredH342, and hast shedH5064 the blood of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 by the forceH3027 of the swordH2719 in the timeH6256 of their calamityH343, in the timeH6256 that their iniquityH5771 had an endH7093: {perpetual…: or, hatred of old} {shed…: Heb. poured out the children} {force: Heb. hands}
Therefore, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will prepareH6213 thee unto bloodH1818, and bloodH1818 shall pursueH7291 thee: sithH518 thou hast not hatedH8130 bloodH1818, even bloodH1818 shall pursueH7291 thee.
Thus will I makeH5414 mountH2022 SeirH8165 mostH8077 desolateH8077, and cut offH3772 from it him that passeth outH5674 and him that returnethH7725. {most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}
And I will fillH4390 his mountainsH2022 with his slainH2491 men: in thy hillsH1389, and in thy valleysH1516, and in all thy riversH650, shall they fallH5307 that are slainH2491 with the swordH2719.
I will makeH5414 thee perpetualH5769 desolationsH8077, and thy citiesH5892 shall not returnH7725+H3427: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Because thou hast saidH559, These twoH8147 nationsH1471 and these twoH8147 countriesH776 shall be mine, and we will possessH3423 it; whereas the LORDH3068 was there: {whereas…: or, though the LORD was there}
For thy violenceH2555 against thy brotherH251 JacobH3290 shameH955 shall coverH3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut offH3772 for everH5769.
In the dayH3117 that thou stoodestH5975 on the other side, in the dayH3117 that the strangersH2114 carried away captiveH7617 his forcesH2428, and foreignersH5237 enteredH935 into his gatesH8179, and castH3032 lotsH1486 upon JerusalemH3389, even thou wast as oneH259 of them. {captive…: or, his substance}
But thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on the dayH3117 of thy brotherH251 in the dayH3117 that he became a strangerH5235; neither shouldest thou have rejoicedH8055 over the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 in the dayH3117 of their destructionH6; neither shouldest thou have spokenH6310 proudlyH1431 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. {spoken…: Heb. magnified thy mouth}
Thou shouldest not have enteredH935 into the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343; yea, thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on their afflictionH7451 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343, nor have laidH7971 hands on their substanceH2428 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343; {substance: or, forces}
Neither shouldest thou have stoodH5975 in the crosswayH6563, to cut offH3772 those of his that did escapeH6412; neither shouldest thou have delivered upH5462 those of his that did remainH8300 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. {delivered up: or, shut up}
For the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138 upon all the heathenH1471: as thou hast doneH6213, it shall be doneH6213 unto thee: thy rewardH1576 shall returnH7725 upon thine own headH7218.
For as ye have drunkH8354 upon my holyH6944 mountainH2022, so shall all the heathenH1471 drinkH8354 continuallyH8548, yea, they shall drinkH8354, and they shall swallow downH3886, and they shall be as though they had notH3808 been. {swallow…: or, sup up}
