RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, when I pleadH7378 with thee: yet let me talkH1696 with thee of thy judgmentsH4941: Wherefore doth the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 prosperH6743? wherefore are all they happyH7951 that deal veryH899 treacherouslyH898? {talk…: or, reason the case with thee}
Thou hast plantedH5193 them, yea, they have taken rootH8327: they growH3212, yea, they bring forthH6213 fruitH6529: thou art nearH7138 in their mouthH6310, and far fromH7350 their reinsH3629. {they grow: Heb. they go on}
But thou, O LORDH3068, knowestH3045 me: thou hast seenH7200 me, and triedH974 mine heartH3820 toward thee: pull them outH5423 like sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2878, and prepareH6942 them for the dayH3117 of slaughterH2028. {toward…: Heb. with thee}
How long shall the landH776 mournH56, and the herbsH6212 of every fieldH7704 witherH3001, for the wickednessH7451 of them that dwellH3427 therein? the beastsH929 are consumedH5595, and the birdsH5775; because they saidH559, He shall not seeH7200 our last endH319.
If thou hast runH7323 with the footmenH7273, and they have weariedH3811 thee, then how canst thou contendH8474 with horsesH5483? and if in the landH776 of peaceH7965, wherein thou trustedstH982, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou doH6213 in the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383?
For even thy brethrenH251, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, even they have dealt treacherouslyH898 with thee; yea, they have calledH7121 a multitudeH4392 afterH310 thee: believeH539 them not, though they speakH1696 fair wordsH2896 unto thee. {they have called…: or, they cried after thee fully} {fair…: Heb. good things}
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}
Mine heritageH5159 is unto me as a lionH738 in the forestH3293; it crieth outH5414+H6963 against me: therefore have I hatedH8130 it. {crieth…: or, yelleth: Heb. giveth out his voice}
Mine heritageH5159 is unto me as a speckledH6641 birdH5861, the birdsH5861 round aboutH5439 are against her; comeH3212 ye, assembleH622 all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, comeH857 to devourH402. {speckled: or, taloned} {come to: or, cause them to come to}
ManyH7227 pastorsH7462 have destroyedH7843 my vineyardH3754, they have troddenH947 my portionH2513 under footH947, they have madeH5414 my pleasantH2532 portionH2513 a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057. {pleasant…: Heb. portion of desire}
They have madeH7760 it desolateH8076, and being desolateH8077 it mournethH56 unto me; the whole landH776 is made desolateH8074, because no manH376 layethH7760 it to heartH3820.
The spoilersH7703 are comeH935 upon all high placesH8205 through the wildernessH4057: for the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 shall devourH398 from the one endH7097 of the landH776 even to the other endH7097 of the landH776: no fleshH1320 shall have peaceH7965.
They have sownH2232 wheatH2406, but shall reapH7114 thornsH6975: they have put themselves to painH2470, but shall not profitH3276: and they shall be ashamedH954 of your revenuesH8393 because of the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068. {they shall: or, ye shall}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 against all mine evilH7451 neighboursH7934, that touchH5060 the inheritanceH5159 which I have caused my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to inheritH5157; Behold, I will pluck them outH5428 of their landH127, and pluck outH5428 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 from amongH8432 them.
And it shall come to pass, afterH310 that I have plucked them outH5428 I will returnH7725, and have compassionH7355 on them, and will bring them againH7725, every manH376 to his heritageH5159, and every manH376 to his landH776.
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligentlyH3925 learnH3925 the waysH1870 of my peopleH5971, to swearH7650 by my nameH8034, The LORDH3068 livethH2416; as they taughtH3925 my peopleH5971 to swearH7650 by BaalH1168; then shall they be builtH1129 in the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971.
But if they will not obeyH8085, I will utterlyH5428 pluck upH5428 and destroyH6 that nationH1471, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

My sonH1121, despiseH3988 not the chasteningH4148 of the LORDH3068; neither be wearyH6973 of his correctionH8433:
Now it came to pass, when JeremiahH3414 had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 all that the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 him to speakH1696 unto all the peopleH5971, that the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 and all the peopleH5971 tookH8610 him, sayingH559, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191.
Behold, he shall come upH5927 like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 against the habitationH5116 of the strongH386: but I will suddenlyH7280 make him run awayH7323 from her: and who is a chosenH977 man, that I may appointH6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the timeH3259? and who is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me? {appoint me…: or, convent me in judgment?}
If thou faintH7503 in the dayH3117 of adversityH6869, thy strengthH3581 is smallH6862. {small: Heb. narrow}
But the kingH4428 commandedH6680 JerahmeelH3396 the sonH1121 of HammelechH4429, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of AzrielH5837, and ShelemiahH8018 the sonH1121 of AbdeelH5655, to takeH3947 BaruchH1263 the scribeH5608 and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030: but the LORDH3068 hidH5641 them. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}
Behold, he shall come upH5927 like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 unto the habitationH5116 of the strongH386: but I will makeH7323 them suddenlyH7280 run awayH7323+H7323 from her: and who is a chosenH977 man, that I may appointH6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the timeH3259? and who is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me? {appoint me…: or, convent me to plead?}
ForG1063 considerG357 him that enduredG5278 suchG5108 contradictionG485 ofG5259 sinnersG268 againstG1519 himselfG846, lestG3363 ye be weariedG2577 and faintG1590 in yourG5216 mindsG5590.
Therefore the princesH8269 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, We beseech thee, let this manH376 be put to deathH4191: for thusH3651 he weakenethH7503 the handsH3027 of the menH582 of warH4421 that remainH7604 in this cityH5892, and the handsH3027 of all the peopleH5971, in speakingH1696 such wordsH1697 unto them: for this manH376 seekethH1875 not the welfareH7965 of this peopleH5971, but the hurtH7451. {welfare: Heb. peace}
Then ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 saidH559, Behold, he is in your handH3027: for the kingH4428 is not he that canH3201 do any thingH1697 against you.
Then tookH3947 they JeremiahH3414, and castH7993 him into the dungeonH953 of MalchiahH4441 the sonH1121 of HammelechH4428, that was in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307: and they let downH7971 JeremiahH3414 with cordsH2256. And in the dungeonH953 there was no waterH4325, but mireH2916: so JeremiahH3414 sunkH2883 in the mireH2916. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}
And as they that bareH5375 the arkH727 were comeH935 unto JordanH3383, and the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 that bareH5375 the arkH727 were dippedH2881 in the brimH7097 of the waterH4325, (for JordanH3383 overflowethH4390 all his banksH1415 all the timeH3117 of harvestH7105,)
These are they that went overH5674 JordanH3383 in the firstH7223 monthH2320, when it had overflownH4390 all his banksH1415+H1428; and they put to flightH1272 all them of the valleysH6010, both toward the eastH4217, and toward the westH4628. {overflown: Heb. filled over}
BelovedG27, think itG3579 notG3361 strangeG3579 concerning theG5213 fiery trialG4451 whichG1722 isG1096 toG4314 tryG3986 youG5213, asG5613 though some strange thingG3581 happenedG4819 unto youG5213:
DeepH8415 callethH7121 unto deepH8415 at the noiseH6963 of thy waterspoutsH6794: all thy wavesH4867 and thy billowsH1530 are goneH5674 over me.
