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.

WhenG1161 he sawG1492 JesusG2424, he cried outG349, andG2532 fell down beforeG4363 himG846, andG2532 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 saidG2036, WhatG5101 have IG1698 to do withG2532 theeG4671, JesusG2424, thou SonG5207 of GodG2316 most highG5310? I beseechG1189 theeG4675, tormentG928 meG3165 notG3361.
GoH1980 and cryH7121 in the earsH241 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; I rememberH2142 thee, the kindnessH2617 of thy youthH5271, the loveH160 of thine espousalsH3623, when thou wentestH3212 afterH310 me in the wildernessH4057, in a landH776 that was not sownH2232. {thee: or, for thy sake}
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.
They sayH559, If a manH376 put awayH7971 his wifeH802, and she goH1980 from him, and become anotherH312 man'sH376, shall he return unto her againH7725? shall not that landH776 be greatlyH2610 pollutedH2610? but thou hast played the harlotH2181 with manyH7227 loversH7453; yet return againH7725 to me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {They say: Heb. Saying}
If oneH376 bearH5375 holyH6944 fleshH1320 in the skirtH3671 of his garmentH899, and with his skirtH3671 do touchH5060 breadH3899, or pottageH5138, or wineH3196, or oilH8081, or any meatH3978, shall it be holyH6942? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, No.
Then saidH559 HaggaiH2292, If one that is uncleanH2931 by a dead bodyH5315 touchH5060 any of these, shall it be uncleanH2930? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It shall be uncleanH2930.
Then answeredH6030 HaggaiH2292, and saidH559, So is this peopleH5971, and so is this nationH1471 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and so is every workH4639 of their handsH3027; and that which they offerH7126 there is uncleanH2931.
TurnH7725, O backslidingH7726 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; for I am marriedH1166 unto you: and I will takeH3947 you oneH259 of a cityH5892, and twoH8147 of a familyH4940, and I will bringH935 you to ZionH6726:
Behold, ye trustH982 in lyingH8267 wordsH1697, that cannot profitH3276.
Will ye stealH1589, murderH7523, and commit adulteryH5003, and swearH7650 falselyH8267, and burn incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, and walkH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 whom ye knowH3045 not;
And comeH935 and standH5975 beforeH6440 me in this houseH1004, which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, and sayH559, We are deliveredH5337 to doH6213 all these abominationsH8441? {which…: Heb. whereupon my name is called}
Is this houseH1004, which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, become a denH4631 of robbersH6530 in your eyesH5869? Behold, even I have seenH7200 it, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto the high placesH8205, and seeH7200 whereH375 thou hast not been lienH7693+H7901 with. In the waysH1870 hast thou satH3427 for them, as the ArabianH6163 in the wildernessH4057; and thou hast pollutedH2610 the landH776 with thy whoredomsH2184 and with thy wickednessH7451.
Unto the pureG2513 all thingsG3956 are pureG3303+G2513: butG1161 unto them that are defiledG3392 andG2532 unbelievingG571 is nothingG3762 pureG2513; butG235 evenG2532 theirG846 mindG3563 andG2532 conscienceG4893 is defiledG3392.
It is as sportH7814 to a foolH3684 to doH6213 mischiefH2154: but a manH376 of understandingH8394 hath wisdomH2451.
I have forsakenH5800 mine houseH1004, I have leftH5203 mine heritageH5159; I have givenH5414 the dearly belovedH3033 of my soulH5315 into the handH3709 of her enemiesH341. {the dearly…: Heb. the love}
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, Though MosesH4872 and SamuelH8050 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 me, yet my mindH5315 could not be toward this peopleH5971: cast them outH7971 of my sightH6440, and let them go forthH3318.
Thou hast builtH1129 thy high placeH7413 at every headH7218 of the wayH1870, and hast made thy beautyH3308 to be abhorredH8581, and hast openedH6589 thy feetH7272 to every one that passed byH5674, and multipliedH7235 thy whoredomsH8457.
Thou hast also committed fornicationH2181 with the EgyptiansH1121+H4714 thy neighboursH7934, greatH1432 of fleshH1320; and hast increasedH7235 thy whoredomsH8457, to provoke me to angerH3707.
Behold, therefore I have stretched outH5186 my handH3027 over thee, and have diminishedH1639 thine ordinaryH2706 food, and deliveredH5414 thee unto the willH5315 of them that hateH8130 thee, the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, which are ashamedH3637 of thy lewdH2154 wayH1870. {daughters: or, cities}
Thou hast played the whoreH2181 also with the AssyriansH1121+H804, becauseH1115 thou wast unsatiableH7646; yea, thou hast played the harlotH2181 with them, and yet couldest not be satisfiedH7654.
Thou hast moreover multipliedH7235 thy fornicationH8457 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 unto ChaldeaH3778; and yet thou wast not satisfiedH7646 herewithH2063.
How weakH535 is thine heartH3826, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, seeing thou doestH6213 all these things, the workH4639 of an imperiousH7986 whorishH2181 womanH802;
In that thou buildestH1129 thine eminent placeH1354 in the headH7218 of every wayH1870, and makestH6213 thine high placeH7413 in every streetH7339; and hast not been as an harlotH2181, in that thou scornestH7046 hireH868; {In that thou buildest…: or, In thy daughters is thine, etc}
But as a wifeH802 that committeth adulteryH5003, which takethH3947 strangersH2114 instead of her husbandH376!
They giveH5414 giftsH5078 to all whoresH2181: but thou givestH5414 thy giftsH5083 to all thy loversH157, and hirestH7809 them, that they may comeH935 unto thee on every sideH5439 for thy whoredomH8457. {hirest: Heb. bribest}
And the contraryH2016 is in thee from other womenH802 in thy whoredomsH8457, whereas none followethH310 thee to commit whoredomsH2181: and in that thou givestH5414 a rewardH868, and no rewardH868 is givenH5414 unto thee, therefore thou artH1961 contraryH2016.
As a madH3856 man who castethH3384 firebrandsH2131, arrowsH2671, and deathH4194, {firebrands: Heb. flames, or, sparks}
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, GoH3212 yet, loveH157 a womanH802 belovedH157 of her friendH7453, yet an adulteressH5003, according to the loveH160 of the LORDH3068 toward the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, who lookH6437 to otherH312 godsH430, and loveH157 flagonsH809 of wineH6025. {of wine: Heb. of grapes}
But unto the wickedH7563 GodH430 saithH559, What hast thou to do to declareH5608 my statutesH2706, or that thou shouldest takeH5375 my covenantH1285 in thy mouthH6310?
SonH1121 of manH120, there were twoH8147 womenH802, the daughtersH1323 of oneH259 motherH517:
And they committed whoredomsH2181 in EgyptH4714; they committed whoredomsH2181 in their youthH5271: there were their breastsH7699 pressedH4600, and there they bruisedH6213 the teatsH1717 of their virginityH1331.
And the namesH8034 of them were AholahH170 the elderH1419, and AholibahH172 her sisterH269: and they were mine, and they bareH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. Thus were their namesH8034; SamariaH8111 is AholahH170, and JerusalemH3389 AholibahH172. {Aholah: that is, His tent, or, tabernacle} {Aholibah: that is, My tabernacle in her}
And AholahH170 played the harlotH2181 when she was mineH8478; and she dotedH5689 on her loversH157, on the AssyriansH804 her neighboursH7138,
Which were clothedH3847 with blueH8504, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461, all of them desirableH2531 young menH970, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483.
Thus she committedH5414 her whoredomsH8457 with them, with all them that were the chosenH4005 menH1121 of AssyriaH804, and with all on whom she dotedH5689: with all their idolsH1544 she defiledH2930 herself. {committed…: Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them} {the chosen…: Heb. the choice of the children of Asshur}
Neither leftH5800 she her whoredomsH8457 brought from EgyptH4714: for in her youthH5271 they layH7901 with her, and they bruisedH6213 the breastsH1717 of her virginityH1331, and pouredH8210 their whoredomH8457 upon her.
Wherefore I have deliveredH5414 her into the handH3027 of her loversH157, into the handH3027 of the AssyriansH1121+H804, upon whom she dotedH5689.
These discoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172: they tookH3947 her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, and slewH2026 her with the swordH2719: and she became famousH8034 among womenH802; for they had executedH6213 judgmentH8196 upon her. {famous: Heb. a name}
And when her sisterH269 AholibahH172 sawH7200 this, she was more corruptH7843 in her inordinate loveH5691 than she, and in her whoredomsH8457 more than her sisterH269 in her whoredomsH2183. {she was…: Heb. she corrupted her inordinate love more than, etc} {more than…: Heb. more than the whoredoms of her sister}
She dotedH5689 upon the AssyriansH1121+H804 her neighboursH7138, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461 clothedH3847 most gorgeouslyH4358, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, all of them desirableH2531 young menH970.
Then I sawH7200 that she was defiledH2930, that they took bothH8147 oneH259 wayH1870,
And that she increasedH3254 her whoredomsH8457: for when she sawH7200 menH582 pourtrayedH2707 upon the wallH7023, the imagesH6754 of the ChaldeansH3778 pourtrayedH2710 with vermilionH8350,
GirdedH2289 with girdlesH232 upon their loinsH4975, exceedingH5628 in dyed attireH2871 upon their headsH7218, all of them princesH7991 to look toH4758, after the mannerH1823 of the BabyloniansH1121+H894 of ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their nativityH4138:
And as soon as she sawH4758 them with her eyesH5869, she dotedH5689 upon them, and sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto them into ChaldeaH3778. {as soon…: Heb. at the sight of her eyes}
And the BabyloniansH1121+H894 cameH935 to her into the bedH4904 of loveH1730, and they defiledH2930 her with their whoredomH8457, and she was pollutedH2930 with them, and her mindH5315 was alienatedH3363 from them. {Babylonians: Heb. children of Babel} {alienated: Heb. loosed, or, disjointed}
So she discoveredH1540 her whoredomsH8457, and discoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172: then my mindH5315 was alienatedH3363 from her, like as my mindH5315 was alienatedH5361 from her sisterH269.
Yet she multipliedH7235 her whoredomsH8457, in calling to remembranceH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, wherein she had played the harlotH2181 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
For she dotedH5689 upon their paramoursH6370, whose fleshH1320 is as the fleshH1320 of assesH2543, and whose issueH2231 is like the issueH2231 of horsesH5483.
Thus thou calledst to remembranceH6485 the lewdnessH2154 of thy youthH5271, in bruisingH6213 thy teatsH1717 by the EgyptiansH4714 for the papsH7699 of thy youthH5271.
RejoicethG5463 notG3756 inG1909 iniquityG93, butG1161 rejoicethG4796 in the truthG225; {in the truth: or, with the truth}
AndG1161 whenG1525 the kingG935 came inG1525 to seeG2300 the guestsG345, he sawG1492 thereG1563 a manG444 which hadG1746 notG3756 onG1746 a weddingG1062 garmentG1742:
The sacrificeH2077 of the wickedH7563 is an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but the prayerH8605 of the uprightH3477 is his delightH7522.
ButG1161 nowG3568 ye rejoiceG2744 inG1722 yourG5216 boastingsG212: allG3956 suchG5108 rejoicingG2746 isG2076 evilG4190.
As concerningG2596+G3303 the gospelG2098, they are enemiesG2190 for your sakesG1223+G5209: butG1161 as touchingG2596 the electionG1589, they are belovedG27 forG1223 the fathers'G3962 sakesG1223.
The sacrificeH2077 of the wickedH7563 is abominationH8441: how much more, when he bringethH935 it with a wicked mindH2154? {with…: Heb. in wickedness?}
He that turneth awayH5493 his earH241 from hearingH8085 the lawH8451, even his prayerH8605 shall be abominationH8441.
To whatH4100 purpose is the multitudeH7230 of your sacrificesH2077 unto me? saithH559 the LORDH3068: I am fullH7646 of the burnt offeringsH5930 of ramsH352, and the fatH2459 of fed beastsH4806; and I delightH2654 not in the bloodH1818 of bullocksH6499, or of lambsH3532, or of he goatsH6260. {he goats: Heb. great he goats}
When ye comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 me, who hath requiredH1245 this at your handH3027, to treadH7429 my courtsH2691? {to appear: Heb. to be seen}
BringH935 no moreH3254 vainH7723 oblationsH4503; incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto me; the new moonsH2320 and sabbathsH7676, the callingH7121 of assembliesH4744, I cannot away withH3201; it is iniquityH205, even the solemn meetingH6116. {iniquity: or, grief}
Your new moonsH2320 and your appointed feastsH4150 my soulH5315 hatethH8130: they are a troubleH2960 unto me; I am wearyH3811 to bearH5375 them.
And when ye spread forthH6566 your handsH3709, I will hideH5956 mine eyesH5869 from you: yea, when ye make manyH7235 prayersH8605, I will not hearH8085: your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of bloodH1818. {make…: Heb. multiply prayer} {blood: Heb. bloods}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Where is the billH5612 of your mother'sH517 divorcementH3748, whom I have put awayH7971? or which of my creditorsH5383 is it to whom I have soldH4376 you? Behold, for your iniquitiesH5771 have ye soldH4376 yourselves, and for your transgressionsH6588 is your motherH517 put awayH7971.
