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}

For my peopleH5971 have committedH6213 twoH8147 evilsH7451; they have forsakenH5800 me the fountainH4726 of livingH2416 watersH4325, and hewed them outH2672 cisternsH877, brokenH7665 cisternsH877, that can holdH3557 no waterH4325.
They are vanityH1892, and the workH4639 of errorsH8595: in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall perishH6.
As for my peopleH5971, childrenH5953 are their oppressorsH5065, and womenH802 ruleH4910 over them. O my peopleH5971, they which leadH833 thee cause thee to errH8582, and destroyH1104 the wayH1870 of thy pathsH734. {lead…: or, call thee blessed} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, StandH5975 ye in the waysH1870, and seeH7200, and askH7592 for the oldH5769 pathsH5410, where is the goodH2896 wayH1870, and walkH3212 therein, and ye shall findH4672 restH4771 for your soulsH5315. But they saidH559, We will not walkH3212 therein.
They have builtH1129 also the high placesH1116 of BaalH1168, to burnH8313 their sonsH1121 with fireH784 for burnt offeringsH5930 unto BaalH1168, which I commandedH6680 not, nor spakeH1696 it, neither cameH5927 it into my mindH3820:
Thine own wickednessH7451 shall correctH3256 thee, and thy backslidingsH4878 shall reproveH3198 thee: knowH3045 therefore and seeH7200 that it is an evilH7451 thing and bitterH4751, that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and that my fearH6345 is not in thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635.
O LORDH3068, my strengthH5797, and my fortressH4581, and my refugeH4498 in the dayH3117 of afflictionH6869, the GentilesH1471 shall comeH935 unto thee from the endsH657 of the earthH776, and shall sayH559, Surely our fathersH1 have inheritedH5157 liesH8267, vanityH1892, and things wherein there is no profitH3276.
For the leadersH833 of this peopleH5971 cause them to errH8582; and they that are ledH833 of them are destroyedH1104. {the leaders: or, they that call them blessed} {led of: or, called blessed of} {destroyed: Heb. swallowed up}
And shall sayH559, Cast ye upH5549, cast ye upH5549, prepareH6437 the wayH1870, take upH7311 the stumblingblockH4383 out of the wayH1870 of my peopleH5971.
Can a maidH1330 forgetH7911 her ornamentsH5716, or a brideH3618 her attireH7196? yet my peopleH5971 have forgottenH7911 me daysH3117 without numberH4557.
Then all the menH582 which knewH3045 that their wivesH802 had burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, and all the womenH802 that stood byH5975, a greatH1419 multitudeH6951, even all the peopleH5971 that dweltH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in PathrosH6624, answeredH6030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
As for the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 unto us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, we will not hearkenH8085 unto thee.
But we will certainlyH6213 doH6213 whatsoever thingH1697 goeth forthH3318 out of our own mouthH6310, to burn incenseH6999 unto the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, as we have doneH6213, we, and our fathersH1, our kingsH4428, and our princesH8269, in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389: for then had we plentyH7646 of victualsH3899, and were wellH2896, and sawH7200 no evilH7451. {queen…: or, frame of heaven} {victuals: Heb. bread}
But since we left offH2308 to burn incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, we have wantedH2637 all things, and have been consumedH8552 by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458.
And when we burned incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and poured outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, did we makeH6213 her cakesH3561 to worshipH6087 her, and pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, withoutH1107 our menH582? {men: or, husbands?}
But ye are departedH5493 out of the wayH1870; ye have caused manyH7227 to stumbleH3782 at the lawH8451; ye have corruptedH7843 the covenantH1285 of LeviH3878, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {stumble at: or, fall in}
A voiceH6963 was heardH8085 upon the high placesH8205, weepingH1065 and supplicationsH8469 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for they have pervertedH5753 their wayH1870, and they have forgottenH7911 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559; Ye and your wivesH802 have both spokenH1696 with your mouthsH6310, and fulfilledH4390 with your handH3027, sayingH559, We will surelyH6213 performH6213 our vowsH5088 that we have vowedH5087, to burn incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her: ye will surelyH6965 accomplishH6965 your vowsH5088, and surelyH6213 performH6213 your vowsH5088.
AndG2532 honourG5091 notG3364 hisG846 fatherG3962 orG2228 hisG846 motherG3384, he shall be free. ThusG2532 have ye madeG208 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316 of none effectG208 byG1223 yourG5216 traditionG3862.
This is thy lotH1486, the portionH4490 of thy measuresH4055 from me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; because thou hast forgottenH7911 me, and trustedH982 in falsehoodH8267.
Behold, they are all vanityH205; their worksH4639 are nothingH657: their molten imagesH5262 are windH7307 and confusionH8414.
It is goodG2570 neitherG3361 to eatG5315 fleshG2907, norG3366 to drinkG4095 wineG3631, norG3366 any thing wherebyG1722+G3739 thyG4675 brotherG80 stumblethG4350, orG2228 is offendedG4624, orG2228 is made weakG770.
O LORDH3068, the hopeH4723 of IsraelH3478, all that forsakeH5800 thee shall be ashamedH954, and they that departH3249 from meH5493 shall be writtenH3789 in the earthH776, because they have forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068, the fountainH4726 of livingH2416 watersH4325.
Your iniquitiesH5771, and the iniquitiesH5771 of your fathersH1 togetherH3162, saithH559 the LORDH3068, which have burned incenseH6999 upon the mountainsH2022, and blasphemedH2778 me upon the hillsH1389: therefore will I measureH4058 their formerH7223 workH6468 into their bosomH2436.
