The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
HearH8085 ye the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, and speakH1696 unto the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389;
And sayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478; CursedH779 be the manH376 that obeyethH8085 not the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285,
Which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the ironH1270 furnaceH3564, sayingH559, ObeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and doH6213 them, according to all which I commandH6680 you: so shall ye be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430:
That I may performH6965 the oathH7621 which I have swornH7650 unto your fathersH1, to giveH5414 them a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, as it is this dayH3117. Then answeredH6030 I, and saidH559, So be itH543, O LORDH3068. {So…: Heb. Amen}
Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, ProclaimH7121 all these wordsH1697 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, HearH8085 ye the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, and doH6213 them.
For I earnestlyH5749 protestedH5749 unto your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117, rising earlyH7925 and protestingH5749, sayingH559, ObeyH8085 my voiceH6963.
Yet they obeyedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walkedH3212 every oneH376 in the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820: therefore I will bringH935 upon them all the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, which I commandedH6680 them to doH6213; but they didH6213 them not. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, A conspiracyH7195 is foundH4672 among the menH376 of JudahH3063, and among the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.
They are turned backH7725 to the iniquitiesH5771 of their forefathersH7223+H1, which refusedH3985 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697; and they wentH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them: the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 have brokenH6565 my covenantH1285 which I madeH3772 with their fathersH1.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon them, which they shall not be ableH3201 to escapeH3318; and though they shall cryH2199 unto me, I will not hearkenH8085 unto them. {to escape: Heb. to go forth of}
Then shall the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 goH1980, and cryH2199 unto the godsH430 unto whom they offer incenseH6999: but they shall not saveH3467 them at allH3467 in the timeH6256 of their troubleH7451. {trouble: Heb. evil}
For according to the numberH4557 of thy citiesH5892 were thy godsH430, O JudahH3063; and according to the numberH4557 of the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 have ye set upH7760 altarsH4196 to that shameful thingH1322, even altarsH4196 to burn incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168. {shameful…: Heb. shame}
Therefore prayH6419 not thou for this peopleH5971, neither lift upH5375 a cryH7440 or prayerH8605 for them: for I will not hearH8085 them in the timeH6256 that they cryH7121 unto me for their troubleH7451. {trouble: Heb. evil}
What hath my belovedH3039 to do in mine houseH1004, seeing she hath wroughtH6213 lewdnessH4209 with manyH7227, and the holyH6944 fleshH1320 is passedH5674 from thee? when thou doest evilH7451, then thou rejoicestH5937. {What…: Heb. What is to my beloved in my house} {when…: or, when thy evil is}
The LORDH3068 calledH7121 thy nameH8034, A greenH7488 olive treeH2132, fairH3303, and of goodlyH8389 fruitH6529: with the noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 tumultH1999 he hath kindledH3341 fireH784 upon it, and the branchesH1808 of it are brokenH7489.
For the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that plantedH5193 thee, hath pronouncedH1696 evilH7451 against thee, forH1558 the evilH7451 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, which they have doneH6213 against themselves to provoke me to angerH3707 in offering incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168.
And the LORDH3068 hath given me knowledgeH3045 of it, and I knowH3045 it: then thou shewedstH7200 me their doingsH4611.
But I was like a lambH3532 or an oxH441 that is broughtH2986 to the slaughterH2873; and I knewH3045 not that they had devisedH2803 devicesH4284 against me, saying, Let us destroyH7843 the treeH6086 with the fruitH3899 thereof, and let us cut him offH3772 from the landH776 of the livingH2416, that his nameH8034 may be no more rememberedH2142. {the tree…: Heb. the stalk with his bread}
But, O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that judgestH8199 righteouslyH6664, that triestH974 the reinsH3629 and the heartH3820, let me seeH7200 thy vengeanceH5360 on them: for unto thee have I revealedH1540 my causeH7379.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of the menH582 of AnathothH6068, that seekH1245 thy lifeH5315, sayingH559, ProphesyH5012 not in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, that thou dieH4191 not by our handH3027:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Behold, I will punishH6485 them: the young menH970 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719; their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 shall dieH4191 by famineH7458: {punish: Heb. visit upon}
And there shall be no remnantH7611 of them: for I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon the menH582 of AnathothH6068, even the yearH8141 of their visitationH6486.

And yet for all this her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 hath not turnedH7725 unto me with her whole heartH3820, but feignedlyH8267, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {feignedly: Heb. in falsehood}
And yet they would not hearkenH8085 unto their judgesH8199, but they went a whoringH2181 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, and bowedH7812 themselves unto them: they turnedH5493 quicklyH4118 out of the wayH1870 which their fathersH1 walked inH1980, obeyingH8085 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068; but they didH6213 not so.
The LORDH3068 saidH559 also unto me in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the kingH4428, Hast thou seenH7200 that which backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath doneH6213? she is gone upH1980 upon every highH1364 mountainH2022 and underH8478 every greenH7488 treeH6086, and there hath played the harlotH2181.
And I saidH559 afterH310 she had doneH6213 all these things, TurnH7725 thou unto me. But she returnedH7725 not. And her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 sawH7200 it.
And I sawH7200, when for all the causesH182 whereby backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 committed adulteryH5003 I had put her awayH7971, and givenH5414 her a billH5612 of divorceH3748; yet her treacherousH898 sisterH269 JudahH3063 fearedH3372 not, but wentH3212 and played the harlotH2181 also.
And it came to pass through the lightnessH6963 of her whoredomH2184, that she defiledH2610 the landH776, and committed adulteryH5003 with stonesH68 and with stocksH6086. {lightness: or, fame}
And yet for all this her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 hath not turnedH7725 unto me with her whole heartH3820, but feignedlyH8267, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {feignedly: Heb. in falsehood}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, The backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath justifiedH6663 herselfH5315 more than treacherousH898 JudahH3063.
It repentethH5162 me that I have set upH4427 SaulH7586 to be kingH4428: for he is turned backH7725 from followingH310 me, and hath not performedH6965 my commandmentsH1697. And it grievedH2734 SamuelH8050; and he criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 all nightH3915.
And it came to pass, when the judgeH8199 was deadH4194, that they returnedH7725, and corruptedH7843 themselves more than their fathersH1, in followingH3212+H310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and to bow downH7812 unto them; they ceasedH5307 not from their own doingsH4611, nor from their stubbornH7186 wayH1870. {corrupted…: or, were corrupt} {ceased…: Heb. let nothing fall of their}
Not according to the covenantH1285 that I madeH3772 with their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I tookH2388 them by the handH3027 to bring them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; which my covenantH1285 they brakeH6565, although I was an husbandH1166 unto them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: {although…: or, should I have continued an husband unto them?}
And the kingH4428 went upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the menH376 of JudahH3063, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and all the peopleH5971, greatH1419 and smallH6996: and he readH7121 in their earsH241 all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the covenantH1285 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {great…: Heb. from great even to small}
And the kingH4428 stoodH5975 in his placeH5977, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to walkH3212 afterH310 the LORDH3068, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and his testimoniesH5715, and his statutesH2706, with all his heartH3824, and with all his soulH5315, to performH6213 the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285 which are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.
And he caused all that were presentH4672 in JerusalemH3389 and BenjaminH1144 to standH5975 to it. And the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 didH6213 according to the covenantH1285 of GodH430, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. {present: Heb. found}
And JosiahH2977 took awayH5493 all the abominationsH8441 out of all the countriesH776 that pertained to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and made all that were presentH4672 in IsraelH3478 to serveH5647, even to serveH5647 the LORDH3068 their GodH430. And all his daysH3117 they departedH5493 not from followingH310 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. {present: Heb. found} {from…: Heb. from after}
And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559, and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539 with GodH410. {that…: Heb. that prepared not their heart}
The childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, being armedH5401, and carryingH7411 bowsH7198, turned backH2015 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128. {carrying: Heb. throwing forth}
They keptH8104 not the covenantH1285 of GodH430, and refusedH3985 to walkH3212 in his lawH8451;
And if ye shall despiseH3988 my statutesH2708, or if your soulH5315 abhorH1602 my judgmentsH4941, so that ye will not doH6213 all my commandmentsH4687, but that ye breakH6565 my covenantH1285:
O EphraimH669, what shall I doH6213 unto thee? O JudahH3063, what shall I doH6213 unto thee? for your goodnessH2617 is as a morningH1242 cloudH6051, and as the earlyH7925 dewH2919 it goeth awayH1980. {goodness: or, mercy, or, kindness}
But turned backH5472, and dealt unfaithfullyH898 like their fathersH1: they were turned asideH2015 like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Behold, thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1; and this peopleH5971 will rise upH6965, and go a whoringH2181 afterH310 the godsH430 of the strangersH5236 of the landH776, whither they goH935 to be amongH7130 them, and will forsakeH5800 me, and breakH6565 my covenantH1285 which I have madeH3772 with them. {sleep: Heb. lie down}
They returnH7725, but not to the most HighH5920: they are like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198: their princesH8269 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 for the rageH2195 of their tongueH3956: thisH2097 shall be their derisionH3933 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
But I saidH559 unto their childrenH1121 in the wildernessH4057, WalkH3212 ye not in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neither observeH8104 their judgmentsH4941, nor defileH2930 yourselves with their idolsH1544:
I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; walkH3212 in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them;
And hallowH6942 my sabbathsH7676; and they shall be a signH226 between me and you, that ye may knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
Notwithstanding the childrenH1121 rebelledH4784 against me: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, neither keptH8104 my judgmentsH4941 to doH6213 them, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; they pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the wildernessH4057.
For so it was, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which had brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430,
And walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they had madeH6213.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did secretlyH2644 those thingsH1697 that were not right against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129 them high placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fencedH4013 cityH5892.
And they set them upH5324 imagesH4676 and grovesH842 in every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086: {images: Heb. statues}
And there they burnt incenseH6999 in all the high placesH1116, as did the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 carried awayH1540 beforeH6440 them; and wroughtH6213 wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provoke the LORDH3068 to angerH3707:
For they servedH5647 idolsH1544, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not doH6213 this thingH1697.
Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749 against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559, TurnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971 to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 against them; and they followedH3212+H310 vanityH1892, and became vainH1891, and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680 them, that they should not doH6213 like them.
And they leftH5800 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213 a groveH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 BaalH1168.
And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and usedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
Therefore the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and removedH5493 them out of his sightH6440: there was none leftH7604 but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
Also JudahH3063 keptH8104 not the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 which they madeH6213.
And the LORDH3068 rejectedH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478, and afflictedH6031 them, and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of spoilersH8154, until he had castH7993 them out of his sightH6440.
And them that are turned backH5472 fromH310 the LORDH3068; and those that have not soughtH1245 the LORDH3068, nor enquiredH1875 for him.
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will even dealH6213 with thee as thou hast doneH6213, which hast despisedH959 the oathH423 in breakingH6565 the covenantH1285.
Ye stiffneckedG4644 andG2532 uncircumcisedG564 in heartG2588 andG2532 earsG3775, yeG5210 doG496 alwaysG104 resistG496 the HolyG40 GhostG4151: asG5613 yourG5216 fathersG3962 did, soG2532 do yeG5210.
In that ye have broughtH935 into my sanctuary strangersH1121+H5236, uncircumcisedH6189 in heartH3820, and uncircumcisedH6189 in fleshH1320, to be in my sanctuaryH4720, to polluteH2490 it, even my houseH1004, when ye offerH7126 my breadH3899, the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, and they have brokenH6565 my covenantH1285 becauseH413 of all your abominationsH8441. {strangers: Heb. children of a stranger}
WhichG5101 of the prophetsG4396 haveG1377 notG3756 yourG5216 fathersG3962 persecutedG1377? andG2532 they have slainG615 them whichG3588 shewed beforeG4293 ofG4012 the comingG1660 of the Just OneG1342; of whomG3739 yeG5210 have beenG1096 nowG3568 the betrayersG4273 andG2532 murderersG5406:
But they like menH120 have transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285: there have they dealt treacherouslyH898 against me. {men: or, Adam}
Set the trumpetH7782 to thy mouthH2441. He shall come as an eagleH5404 against the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, because they have transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285, and trespassedH6586 against my lawH8451. {thy: Heb. the roof of thy}
NotG3756 according toG2596 the covenantG1242 thatG3739 I made withG4160 theirG846 fathersG3962 inG1722 the dayG2250 when I tookG1949 themG846 by the handG3450+G5495 to leadG1806 themG846 out ofG1537 the landG1093 of EgyptG125; becauseG3754 theyG846 continuedG1696 notG3756 inG1722 myG3450 covenantG1242, and IG2504 regardedG272 themG846 notG272, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
