The wordH1697 which came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
AriseH6965, and go downH3381 to the potter'sH3335 houseH1004, and there I will cause thee to hearH8085 my wordsH1697.
Then I went downH3381 to the potter'sH3335 houseH1004, and, beholdH2009, he wroughtH6213 a workH4399 on the wheelsH70. {wheels: or, frames, or, seats}
And the vesselH3627 that he madeH6213 of clayH2563 was marredH7843 in the handH3027 of the potterH3335: so he madeH6213 it againH7725 anotherH312 vesselH3627, as seemedH5869 goodH3474 to the potterH3335 to makeH6213 it. {of clay…: or, was marred, as clay in the hand of the potter} {made it…: Heb. returned and made, etc}
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559,
O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, cannotH3201 I doH6213 with you as this potterH3335? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Behold, as the clayH2563 is in the potter'sH3335 handH3027, so are ye in mine handH3027, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
At what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to pluck upH5428, and to pull downH5422, and to destroyH6 it;
If that nationH1471, against whom I have pronouncedH1696, turnH7725 from their evilH7451, I will repentH5162 of the evilH7451 that I thoughtH2803 to doH6213 unto them.
And at what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to buildH1129 and to plantH5193 it;
If it doH6213 evilH7451 in my sightH5869, that it obeyH8085 not my voiceH6963, then I will repentH5162 of the goodH2896, wherewith I saidH559 I would benefitH3190 them.
Now therefore go to, speakH559 to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I frameH3335 evilH7451 against you, and deviseH2803 a deviceH4284 against you: returnH7725 ye now every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and make your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611 goodH3190.
And they saidH559, There is no hopeH2976: but we will walkH3212 afterH310 our own devicesH4284, and we will every oneH376 doH6213 the imaginationH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; AskH7592 ye now among the heathenH1471, who hath heardH8085 such things: the virginH1330 of IsraelH3478 hath doneH6213 a veryH3966 horrible thingH8186.
Will a man leaveH5800 the snowH7950 of LebanonH3844 which cometh from the rockH6697 of the fieldH7704? or shall the coldH7119 flowingH5140 watersH4325 that come from another placeH2114 be forsakenH5428? {the snow…: or, my fields for a rock, or for the snow of Lebanon? shall the running waters be forsaken for the strange cold waters?}
Because my peopleH5971 hath forgottenH7911 me, they have burned incenseH6999 to vanityH7723, and they have caused them to stumbleH3782 in their waysH1870 from the ancientH5769 pathsH7635+H7635, to walkH3212 in pathsH5410, in a wayH1870 not cast upH5549;
To makeH7760 their landH776 desolateH8047, and a perpetualH5769 hissingH8292+H8292; every one that passethH5674 thereby shall be astonishedH8074, and wagH5110 his headH7218.
I will scatterH6327 them as with an eastH6921 windH7307 beforeH6440 the enemyH341; I will shewH7200 them the backH6203, and not the faceH6440, in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343.
Then saidH559 they, ComeH3212, and let us deviseH2803 devicesH4284 against JeremiahH3414; for the lawH8451 shall not perishH6 from the priestH3548, nor counselH6098 from the wiseH2450, nor the wordH1697 from the prophetH5030. ComeH3212, and let us smiteH5221 him with the tongueH3956, and let us not give heedH7181 to any of his wordsH1697. {with…: or, for the tongue}
Give heedH7181 to me, O LORDH3068, and hearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of them that contendH3401 with me.
Shall evilH7451 be recompensedH7999 for goodH2896? for they have diggedH3738 a pitH7745 for my soulH5315. RememberH2142 that I stoodH5975 beforeH6440 thee to speakH1696 goodH2896 for them, and to turn awayH7725 thy wrathH2534 from them.
Therefore deliver upH5414 their childrenH1121 to the famineH7458, and pour outH5064 their blood by the forceH3027 of the swordH2719; and let their wivesH802 be bereavedH7909 of their children, and be widowsH490; and let their menH582 be putH2026 to deathH4194; let their young menH970 be slainH5221 by the swordH2719 in battleH4421. {pour…: Heb. pour them out}
Let a cryH2201 be heardH8085 from their housesH1004, when thou shalt bringH935 a troopH1416 suddenlyH6597 upon them: for they have diggedH3738 a pitH7745+H7882 to takeH3920 me, and hidH2934 snaresH6341 for my feetH7272.
Yet, LORDH3068, thou knowestH3045 all their counselH6098 against me to slayH4194 me: forgiveH3722 not their iniquityH5771, neither blot outH4229 their sinH2403 from thy sightH6440, but let them be overthrownH3782 beforeH6440 thee; dealH6213 thus with them in the timeH6256 of thine angerH639. {to slay…: Heb. for death}

Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, AmendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611, and I will cause you to dwellH7931 in this placeH4725.
TrustH982 ye not in lyingH8267 wordsH1697, sayingH559, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, are these.
For if ye throughlyH3190 amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611; if ye throughlyH6213 executeH6213 judgmentH4941 between a manH376 and his neighbourH7453;
If ye oppressH6231 not the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, and shedH8210 not innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725, neither walkH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to your hurtH7451:
Then will I cause you to dwellH7931 in this placeH4725, in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1, forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769.
Thou hast forsakenH5203 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, thou art goneH3212 backwardH268: therefore will I stretch outH5186 my handH3027 against thee, and destroyH7843 thee; I am wearyH3811 with repentingH5162.
It may be that the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 will hearH8085 all the evilH7451 which I purposeH2803 to doH6213 unto them; that they may returnH7725 every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870; that I may forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771 and their sinH2403.
If so be they will hearkenH8085, and turnH7725 every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, that I may repentH5162 me of the evilH7451, which I purposeH2803 to doH6213 unto them becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of their doingsH4611.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, We have sinnedH2398: doH6213 thou unto us whatsoever seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto thee; deliverH5337 us only, we pray thee, this dayH3117. {seemeth…: Heb. is good in thine eyes}
Therefore now amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611, and obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430; and the LORDH3068 will repentH5162 him of the evilH7451 that he hath pronouncedH1696 against you.
And they put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 from amongH7130 them, and servedH5647 the LORDH3068: and his soulH5315 was grievedH7114 for the miseryH5999 of IsraelH3478. {strange…: Heb. gods of strangers} {grieved: Heb. shortened}
If ye will stillH7725 abideH3427 in this landH776, then will I buildH1129 you, and not pull you downH2040, and I will plantH5193 you, and not pluck you upH5428: for I repentH5162 me of the evilH7451 that I have doneH6213 unto you.
When thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 the enemyH341, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee, and shall turn againH7725 to thee, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and prayH6419, and make supplicationH2603 unto thee in this houseH1004: {in: or, toward}
Wherefore should the EgyptiansH4714 speakH559, and sayH559, For mischiefH7451 did he bringH3318 them out, to slayH2026 them in the mountainsH2022, and to consumeH3615 them from the faceH6440 of the earthH127? TurnH7725 from thy fierceH2740 wrathH639, and repentH5162 of this evilH7451 against thy peopleH5971.
Then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and bring them againH7725 unto the landH127 which thou gavestH5414 unto their fathersH1.
For the LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, and repentH5162 himself for his servantsH5650, when he seethH7200 that their powerH3027 is goneH235, and there is noneH657 shut upH6113, or leftH5800. {power: Heb. hand}
Whereupon the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478 and the kingH4428 humbledH3665 themselves; and they saidH559, The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662.
And when the LORDH3068 raisedH6965 them up judgesH8199, then the LORDH3068 was with the judgeH8199, and deliveredH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their enemiesH341 all the daysH3117 of the judgeH8199: for it repentedH5162 the LORDH3068 becauseH6440 of their groaningsH5009 by reason of them that oppressedH3905 them and vexedH1766 them.
WashH7364 you, make you cleanH2135; put awayH5493 the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611 from beforeH5048 mine eyesH5869; ceaseH2308 to do evilH7489;
LearnH3925 to do wellH3190; seekH1875 judgmentH4941, relieveH833 the oppressedH2541, judgeH8199 the fatherlessH3490, pleadH7378 for the widowH490. {relieve: or, righten}
Come nowH3212, and let us reason togetherH3198, saithH559 the LORDH3068: though your sinsH2399 be as scarletH8144, they shall be as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; though they be redH119 like crimsonH8438, they shall be as woolH6785.
If ye be willingH14 and obedientH8085, ye shall eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776:
But if the wickedH7563 will turnH7725 from all his sinsH2403 that he hath committedH6213, and keepH8104 all my statutesH2708, and doH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, he shall not dieH4191.
And he rememberedH2142 for them his covenantH1285, and repentedH5162 according to the multitudeH7230 of his merciesH2617.
SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421: turnH7725 ye, turnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for why will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
For the LORDH3068 will judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, and he will repentH5162 himself concerning his servantsH5650.
When I shall sayH559 to the righteousH6662, that he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421; if he trustH982 to his own righteousnessH6666, and commitH6213 iniquityH5766, all his righteousnessesH6666 shall not be rememberedH2142; but for his iniquityH5766 that he hath committedH6213, he shall dieH4191 for it.
How shall I give thee upH5414, EphraimH669? how shall I deliverH4042 thee, IsraelH3478? how shall I makeH5414 thee as AdmahH126? how shall I setH7760 thee as ZeboimH6636? mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015 within me, my repentingsH5150 are kindledH3648 togetherH3162.
The watersH4325 compassed me aboutH661, even to the soulH5315: the depthH8415 closed me round aboutH5437, the weedsH5488 were wrapped aboutH2280 my headH7218.
I went downH3381 to the bottomsH7095 of the mountainsH2022; the earthH776 with her barsH1280 was about me for everH5769: yet hast thou brought upH5927 my lifeH2416 from corruptionH7845, O LORDH3068 my GodH430. {bottoms: Heb. cuttings off} {corruption: or, the pit}
When my soulH5315 faintedH5848 within me I rememberedH2142 the LORDH3068: and my prayerH8605 came inH935 unto thee, into thine holyH6944 templeH1964.
They that observeH8104 lyingH7723 vanitiesH1892 forsakeH5800 their own mercyH2617.
But I will sacrificeH2076 unto thee with the voiceH6963 of thanksgivingH8426; I will payH7999 that that I have vowedH5087. SalvationH3444 is of the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto the fishH1709, and it vomited outH6958 JonahH3124 upon the dryH3004 land.
And rendH7167 your heartH3824, and not your garmentsH899, and turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he is graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and repentethH5162 him of the evilH7451.
I tellG3004 youG5213, NayG3780: butG235, exceptG3362 ye repentG3340, ye shallG622 allG3956 likewiseG5615 perishG622.
OrG2228 thoseG1565 eighteenG1176+G2532+G3638, uponG1909 whomG3739 the towerG4444 inG1722 SiloamG4611 fellG4098, andG2532 slewG615 themG846, think yeG1380 thatG3754 theyG3778 wereG1096 sinnersG3781 aboveG3844 allG3956 menG444 that dweltG2730 inG1722 JerusalemG2419? {sinners: or, debtors}
I tellG3004 youG5213, NayG3780: butG235, exceptG3362 ye repentG3340, ye shallG622 allG3956 likewiseG3668 perishG622.
Who knowethH3045 if he will returnH7725 and repentH5162, and leaveH7604 a blessingH1293 behindH310 him; even a meat offeringH4503 and a drink offeringH5262 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430?
The LORDH3068 repentedH5162 for this: It shall not be, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200 unto me: and, behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 calledH7121 to contendH7378 by fireH784, and it devouredH398 the greatH7227 deepH8415, and did eat upH398 a partH2506.
Then saidH559 I, O LordH136 GODH3069, ceaseH2308, I beseech thee: by whom shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965? for he is smallH6996. {by…: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?}
The LORDH3068 repentedH5162 for this: This also shall not be, saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Who can tellH3045 if GodH430 will turnH7725 and repentH5162, and turn awayH7725 from his fierceH2740 angerH639, that we perishH6 not?
And GodH430 sawH7200 their worksH4639, that they turnedH7725 from their evilH7451 wayH1870; and GodH430 repentedH5162 of the evilH7451, that he had saidH1696 that he would doH6213 unto them; and he didH6213 it not.
And he prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, I prayH577 thee, O LORDH3068, was not this my sayingH1697, when I was yet in my countryH127? Therefore I fledH1272 beforeH6923 unto TarshishH8659: for I knewH3045 that thou art a graciousH2587 GodH410, and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and repentestH5162 thee of the evilH7451.
