The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068 in the tenthH6224 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, which was the eighteenthH8083+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019.
For then the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 armyH2428 besiegedH6696 JerusalemH3389: and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 was shut upH3607 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, which was in the kingH4428 of Judah'sH3063 houseH1004.
For ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had shut him upH3607, sayingH559, Wherefore dost thou prophesyH5012, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will giveH5414 this cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall takeH3920 it;
And ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 shall not escapeH4422 out of the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, but shall surelyH5414 be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and shall speakH1696 with him mouthH6310 to mouthH6310, and his eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 his eyesH5869;
And he shall leadH3212 ZedekiahH6667 to BabylonH894, and there shall he be until I visitH6485 him, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: though ye fightH3898 with the ChaldeansH3778, ye shall not prosperH6743.
And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
Behold, HanameelH2601 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967 thine uncleH1730 shall comeH935 unto thee, sayingH559, BuyH7069 thee my fieldH7704 that is in AnathothH6068: for the rightH4941 of redemptionH1353 is thine to buyH7069 it.
So HanameelH2601 mine uncle'sH1730 sonH1121 cameH935 to me in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559 unto me, BuyH7069 my fieldH7704, I pray thee, that is in AnathothH6068, which is in the countryH776 of BenjaminH1144: for the rightH4941 of inheritanceH3425 is thine, and the redemptionH1353 is thine; buyH7069 it for thyself. Then I knewH3045 that this was the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And I boughtH7069 the fieldH7704 of HanameelH2601 my uncle'sH1730 sonH1121, that was in AnathothH6068, and weighedH8254 him the moneyH3701, even seventeenH7651+H6235 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701. {seventeen…: or, seven shekels and ten pieces of silver}
And I subscribedH3789 the evidenceH5612, and sealedH2856 it, and tookH5749 witnessesH5707, and weighedH8254 him the moneyH3701 in the balancesH3976. {subscribed…: Heb. wrote in the book}
So I tookH3947 the evidenceH5612 of the purchaseH4736, both that which was sealedH2856 according to the lawH4687 and customH2706, and that which was openH1540:
And I gaveH5414 the evidenceH5612 of the purchaseH4736 unto BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4271, in the sightH5869 of HanameelH2601 mine uncle'sH1730 son, and in the presenceH5869 of the witnessesH5707 that subscribedH3789 the bookH5612 of the purchaseH4736, beforeH5869 all the JewsH3064 that satH3427 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307.
And I chargedH6680 BaruchH1263 beforeH5869 them, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; TakeH3947 these evidencesH5612, this evidenceH5612 of the purchaseH4736, both which is sealedH2856, and this evidenceH5612 which is openH1540; and putH5414 them in an earthenH2789 vesselH3627, that they may continueH5975 manyH7227 daysH3117.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; HousesH1004 and fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754 shall be possessed againH7069 in this landH776.
Now whenH310 I had deliveredH5414 the evidenceH5612 of the purchaseH4736 unto BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, I prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! behold, thou hast madeH6213 the heavenH8064 and the earthH776 by thy greatH1419 powerH3581 and stretched outH5186 armH2220, and there is nothingH1697 too hardH6381 for thee: {too…: or, hid from thee}
Thou shewestH6213 lovingkindnessH2617 unto thousandsH505, and recompensestH7999 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 into the bosomH2436 of their childrenH1121 afterH310 them: the GreatH1419, the MightyH1368 GodH410, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, is his nameH8034,
GreatH1419 in counselH6098, and mightyH7227 in workH5950: for thine eyesH5869 are openH6491 upon all the waysH1870 of the sonsH1121 of menH120: to giveH5414 every oneH376 according to his waysH1870, and according to the fruitH6529 of his doingsH4611: {work: Heb. doing}
Which hast setH7760 signsH226 and wondersH4159 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117, and in IsraelH3478, and among other menH120; and hast madeH6213 thee a nameH8034, as at this dayH3117;
And hast brought forthH3318 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with signsH226, and with wondersH4159, and with a strongH2389 handH3027, and with a stretched outH5186 armH248, and with greatH1419 terrorH4172;
And hast givenH5414 them this landH776, which thou didst swearH7650 to their fathersH1 to giveH5414 them, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706;
And they came inH935, and possessedH3423 it; but they obeyedH8085 not thy voiceH6963, neither walkedH1980 in thy lawH8451; they have doneH6213 nothing of all that thou commandedstH6680 them to doH6213: therefore thou hast caused all this evilH7451 to comeH7122 upon them:
Behold the mountsH5550, they are comeH935 unto the cityH5892 to takeH3920 it; and the cityH5892 is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, that fightH3898 against it, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719, and of the famineH7458, and of the pestilenceH1698: and what thou hast spokenH1696 is come to pass; and, behold, thou seestH7200 it. {mounts: or, engines of shot}
And thou hast saidH559 unto me, O LordH136 GODH3069, BuyH7069 thee the fieldH7704 for moneyH3701, and takeH5749 witnessesH5707; for the cityH5892 is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778. {for the: or, though the}
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Behold, I am the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of all fleshH1320: is there any thingH1697 too hardH6381 for me?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will giveH5414 this cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, and into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall takeH3920 it:
And the ChaldeansH3778, that fightH3898 against this cityH5892, shall comeH935 and setH3341 fireH784 on this cityH5892, and burnH8313 it with the housesH1004, upon whose roofsH1406 they have offered incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, and poured outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto otherH312 godsH430, to provoke me to angerH3707.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 have only doneH6213 evilH7451 beforeH5869 me from their youthH5271: for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have only provoked me to angerH3707 with the workH4639 of their handsH3027, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For this cityH5892 hath been to me as a provocation of mine angerH639 and of my furyH2534 from the dayH3117 that they builtH1129 it even unto this dayH3117; that I should removeH5493 it from before my faceH6440, {a provocation…: Heb. for my anger}
Because of all the evilH7451 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, which they have doneH6213 to provoke me to angerH3707, they, their kingsH4428, their princesH8269, their priestsH3548, and their prophetsH5030, and the menH376 of JudahH3063, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.
And they have turnedH6437 unto me the backH6203, and not the faceH6440: though I taughtH3925 them, rising up earlyH7925 and teachingH3925 them, yet they have not hearkenedH8085 to receiveH3947 instructionH4148. {back: Heb. neck}
But they setH7760 their abominationsH8251 in the houseH1004, which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, to defileH2930 it.
And they builtH1129 the high placesH1116 of BaalH1168, which are in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, to cause their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fire unto MolechH4432; which I commandedH6680 them not, neither cameH5927 it into my mindH3820, that they should doH6213 this abominationH8441, to cause JudahH3063 to sinH2398.
And now therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, concerning this cityH5892, whereof ye sayH559, It shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 by the swordH2719, and by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698;
Behold, I will gather them outH6908 of all countriesH776, whither I have drivenH5080 them in mine angerH639, and in my furyH2534, and in greatH1419 wrathH7110; and I will bring them againH7725 unto this placeH4725, and I will cause them to dwellH3427 safelyH983:
And they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430:
And I will giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820, and oneH259 wayH1870, that they may fearH3372 me for everH3117, for the goodH2896 of them, and of their childrenH1121 afterH310 them: {for ever: Heb. all days}
And I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them, that I will not turn awayH7725 from themH310, to do them goodH3190; but I will putH5414 my fearH3374 in their heartsH3824, that they shall not departH5493 from me. {from them: Heb. from after them}
Yea, I will rejoiceH7797 over them to do them goodH2895, and I will plantH5193 them in this landH776 assuredlyH571 with my whole heartH3820 and with my whole soulH5315. {assuredly: Heb. in truth, or, stability}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Like as I have broughtH935 all this greatH1419 evilH7451 upon this peopleH5971, so will I bringH935 upon them all the goodH2896 that I have promisedH1696 them.
And fieldsH7704 shall be boughtH7069 in this landH776, whereof ye sayH559, It is desolateH8077 without manH120 or beastH929; it is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778.
Men shall buyH7069 fieldsH7704 for moneyH3701, and subscribeH3789 evidencesH5612, and sealH2856 them, and takeH5749 witnessesH5707 in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and in the places aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the citiesH5892 of the mountainsH2022, and in the citiesH5892 of the valleyH8219, and in the citiesH5892 of the southH5045: for I will cause their captivityH7622 to returnH7725, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

And I broughtH935 you into a plentifulH3759 countryH776, to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodnessH2898 thereof; but when ye enteredH935, ye defiledH2930 my landH776, and madeH7760 mine heritageH5159 an abominationH8441. {a plentiful…: or, the land of Carmel}
I spakeH1696 unto thee in thy prosperityH7962; but thou saidstH559, I will not hearH8085. This hath been thy mannerH1870 from thy youthH5271, that thou obeyedstH8085 not my voiceH6963. {prosperity: Heb. prosperities}
We lie downH7901 in our shameH1322, and our confusionH3639 coverethH3680 us: for we have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 our GodH430, we and our fathersH1, from our youthH5271 even unto this dayH3117, and have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
And the LORDH3068 smelledH7306 a sweetH5207 savourH7381; and the LORDH3068 saidH559 inH413 his heartH3820, I will not againH3254 curseH7043 the groundH127 any more for man'sH120 sakeH5668; for the imaginationH3336 of man'sH120 heartH3820 is evilH7451 from his youthH5271; neither will I againH3254 smiteH5221 any more every thing livingH2416, as I have doneH6213. {a sweet…: Heb. a savour of rest or, satisfaction} {for the imagination: or, through the imagination}
For I spakeH1696 not unto your fathersH1, nor commandedH6680 them in the dayH3117 that I brought them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, concerningH1697 burnt offeringsH5930 or sacrificesH2077: {concerning: Heb. concerning the matter of}
But this thingH1697 commandedH6680 I them, sayingH559, ObeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and I will be your GodH430, and ye shall be my peopleH5971: and walkH1980 ye in all the waysH1870 that I have commandedH6680 you, that it may be wellH3190 unto you.
But they hearkenedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walkedH3212 in the counselsH4156 and in the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820, and went backwardH268, and not forwardH6440. {imagination: or, stubbornness} {went: Heb. were}
Since the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 came forth outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto this dayH3117 I have even sentH7971 unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, dailyH3117 rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them:
Yet they hearkenedH8085 not unto me, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but hardenedH7185 their neckH6203: they did worseH7489 than their fathersH1.
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.
RememberH2142, and forgetH7911 not, how thou provokedst the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 to wrathH7107 in the wildernessH4057: fromH4480 the dayH3117 that thou didst depart outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, until ye cameH935 unto this placeH4725, ye have been rebelliousH4784 againstH5973 the LORDH3068.
Also in HorebH2722 ye provokedH7107 the LORDH3068 to wrathH7107, so that the LORDH3068 was angryH599 with you to have destroyedH8045 you.
When I was gone upH5927 into the mountH2022 to receiveH3947 the tablesH3871 of stoneH68, even the tablesH3871 of the covenantH1285 which the LORDH3068 madeH3772 with you, then I abodeH3427 in the mountH2022 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915, I neither did eatH398 breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325:
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 unto me twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68 writtenH3789 with the fingerH676 of GodH430; and on them was written according to all the wordsH1697, which the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 with you in the mountH2022 out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784 in the dayH3117 of the assemblyH6951.
And it came to pass at the endH7093 of fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915, that the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 me the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68, even the tablesH3871 of the covenantH1285.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, AriseH6965, get thee downH3381 quicklyH4118 from hence; for thy peopleH5971 which thou hast brought forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714 have corruptedH7843 themselves; they are quicklyH4118 turned asideH5493 out of the wayH1870 which I commandedH6680 them; they have madeH6213 them a molten imageH4541.
And at TaberahH8404, and at MassahH4532, and at KibrothhattaavahH6914, ye provoked the LORDH3068 to wrathH7107.
Likewise when the LORDH3068 sentH7971 you from KadeshbarneaH6947, sayingH559, Go upH5927 and possessH3423 the landH776 which I have givenH5414 you; then ye rebelledH4784 against the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and ye believedH539 him not, nor hearkenedH8085 to his voiceH6963.
Ye have been rebelliousH4784 against the LORDH3068 from the dayH3117 that I knewH3045 you.
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.
But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudlyH2102, and hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and hearkenedH8085 not to thy commandmentsH4687,
And refusedH3985 to obeyH8085, neither were mindfulH2142 of thy wondersH6381 that thou didstH6213 among them; but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 appointedH5414 a captainH7218 to returnH7725 to their bondageH5659: but thou art a GodH433 ready to pardonH5547, graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and forsookestH5800 them not. {a God…: Heb. a God of pardons}
Yea, when they had madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and saidH559, This is thy GodH430 that brought thee upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, and had wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007;
Yet thou in thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 forsookestH5800 them not in the wildernessH4057: the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 departedH5493 not from them by dayH3119, to leadH5148 them in the wayH1870; neither the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to shew them lightH215, and the wayH1870 wherein they should goH3212.
Thou gavestH5414 also thy goodH2896 spiritH7307 to instructH7919 them, and withheldestH4513 not thy mannaH4478 from their mouthH6310, and gavestH5414 them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772.
Yea, fortyH705 yearsH8141 didst thou sustainH3557 them in the wildernessH4057, so that they lackedH2637 nothing; their clothesH8008 waxed not oldH1086, and their feetH7272 swelledH1216 not.
Moreover thou gavestH5414 them kingdomsH4467 and nationsH5971, and didst divideH2505 them into cornersH6285: so they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, and the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316.
Their childrenH1121 also multipliedstH7235 thou as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and broughtestH935 them into the landH776, concerning which thou hadst promisedH559 to their fathersH1, that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 it.
So the childrenH1121 went inH935 and possessedH3423 the landH776, and thou subduedstH3665 beforeH6440 them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, and gavestH5414 them into their handsH3027, with their kingsH4428, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that they might doH6213 with them as they wouldH7522. {as they…: Heb. according to their will}
And they tookH3920 strongH1219 citiesH5892, and a fatH8082 landH127, and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodsH2898, wellsH953 diggedH2672, vineyardsH3754, and oliveyardsH2132, and fruitH3978 treesH6086 in abundanceH7230: so they did eatH398, and were filledH7646, and became fatH8080, and delightedH5727 themselves in thy greatH1419 goodnessH2898. {wells: or, cisterns} {fruit…: Heb. tree of food}
Nevertheless they were disobedientH4784, and rebelledH4775 against thee, and castH7993 thy lawH8451 behindH310 their backsH1458, and slewH2026 thy prophetsH5030 which testifiedH5749 against them to turnH7725 them to thee, and they wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007.
Therefore thou deliveredstH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862, who vexedH6887 them: and in the timeH6256 of their troubleH6869, when they criedH6817 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and according to thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 thou gavestH5414 them savioursH3467, who savedH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862.
But after they had restH5117, they didH6213 evilH7451 againH7725 beforeH6440 thee: therefore leftestH5800 thou them in the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, so that they had the dominionH7287 over them: yet when they returnedH7725, and criedH2199 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and manyH7227 timesH6256 didst thou deliverH5337 them according to thy merciesH7356; {they did…: Heb. they returned to do evil}
And testifiedstH5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them againH7725 unto thy lawH8451: yet they dealt proudlyH2102, and hearkenedH8085 not unto thy commandmentsH4687, but sinnedH2398 against thy judgmentsH4941, (which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall liveH2421 in them;) and withdrewH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would not hearH8085. {withdrew…: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder}
Yet manyH7227 yearsH8141 didst thou forbearH4900 them, and testifiedstH5749 against them by thy spiritH7307 inH3027 thy prophetsH5030: yet would they not give earH238: therefore gavestH5414 thou them into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776. {forbear…: Heb. protract over them} {in thy…: Heb. in the hand of thy prophets}
Nevertheless for thy greatH7227 mercies'H7356 sake thou didstH6213 not utterly consumeH3617 them, nor forsakeH5800 them; for thou art a graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349 GodH410.
Now therefore, our GodH430, the greatH1419, the mightyH1368, and the terribleH3372 GodH410, who keepestH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617, let not all the troubleH8513 seem littleH4591 beforeH6440 thee, that hath comeH4672 upon us, on our kingsH4428, on our princesH8269, and on our priestsH3548, and on our prophetsH5030, and on our fathersH1, and on all thy peopleH5971, since the timeH3117 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117. {trouble: Heb. weariness} {that…: Heb. that hath found us}
Howbeit thou art justH6662 in all that is broughtH935 upon us; for thou hast doneH6213 rightH571, but we have done wickedlyH7561:
Neither have our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, our priestsH3548, nor our fathersH1, keptH6213 thy lawH8451, nor hearkenedH7181 unto thy commandmentsH4687 and thy testimoniesH5715, wherewith thou didst testifyH5749 against them.
For they have not servedH5647 thee in their kingdomH4438, and in thy greatH7227 goodnessH2898 that thou gavestH5414 them, and in the largeH7342 and fatH8082 landH776 which thou gavestH5414 beforeH6440 them, neither turnedH7725 they from their wickedH7451 worksH4611.
Behold, we are servantsH5650 this dayH3117, and for the landH776 that thou gavestH5414 unto our fathersH1 to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodH2898 thereof, behold, we are servantsH5650 in it:
And it yieldeth muchH7235 increaseH8393 unto the kingsH4428 whom thou hast setH5414 over us because of our sinsH2403: also they have dominionH4910 over our bodiesH1472, and over our cattleH929, at their pleasureH7522, and we are in greatH1419 distressH6869.
We have sinnedH2398 with our fathersH1, we have committed iniquityH5753, we have done wickedlyH7561.
Our fathersH1 understoodH7919 not thy wondersH6381 in EgyptH4714; they rememberedH2142 not the multitudeH7230 of thy merciesH2617; but provokedH4784 him at the seaH3220, even at the RedH5488 seaH3220.
But they rebelledH4784, and vexedH6087 his holyH6944 SpiritH7307: therefore he was turnedH2015 to be their enemyH341, and he foughtH3898 against them.
But thou didst trustH982 in thine own beautyH3308, and playedst the harlotH2181 because of thy renownH8034, and pouredst outH8210 thy fornicationsH8457 on every one that passed byH5674; his it was.
And of thy garmentsH899 thou didst takeH3947, and deckedstH6213 thy high placesH1116 with divers coloursH2921, and playedst the harlotH2181 thereupon: the like things shall not comeH935, neither shall it be so.
Thou hast also takenH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627 of my goldH2091 and of my silverH3701, which I had givenH5414 thee, and madestH6213 to thyself imagesH6754 of menH2145, and didst commit whoredomH2181 with them, {of men: Heb. of a male}
And tookestH3947 thy broideredH7553 garmentsH899, and coveredstH3680 them: and thou hast setH5414 mine oilH8081 and mine incenseH7004 beforeH6440 them.
My meatH3899 also which I gaveH5414 thee, fine flourH5560, and oilH8081, and honeyH1706, wherewith I fedH398 thee, thou hast even setH5414 it beforeH6440 them for a sweetH5207 savourH7381: and thus it was, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {a sweet…: Heb. a savour of rest}
Moreover thou hast takenH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323, whom thou hast borneH3205 unto me, and these hast thou sacrificedH2076 unto them to be devouredH398. Is this of thy whoredomsH8457 a small matterH4592, {to be…: Heb. to devour}
That thou hast slainH7819 my childrenH1121, and deliveredH5414 them to cause them to pass throughH5674 the fire for them?
And in all thine abominationsH8441 and thy whoredomsH8457 thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, when thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181, and wast pollutedH947 in thy bloodH1818.
But they rebelledH4784 against me, and wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: they did not every manH376 cast awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 of their eyesH5869, neither did they forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: then I saidH559, I will pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
For when I had broughtH935 them into the landH776, for the which I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 to giveH5414 it to them, then they sawH7200 every highH7311 hillH1389, and all the thickH5687 treesH6086, and they offeredH2076 there their sacrificesH2077, and there they presentedH5414 the provocationH3708 of their offeringH7133: there also they madeH7760 their sweetH5207 savourH7381, and poured outH5258 there their drink offeringsH5262.
Then saidH559 I unto her that was oldH1087 in adulteriesH5004, Will they now commitH2181 whoredomsH8457 with her, and she with them? {whoredoms…: Heb. her whoredoms}
Yet they went inH935 unto her, as they go inH935 unto a womanH802 that playeth the harlotH2181: so went they inH935 unto AholahH170 and unto AholibahH172, the lewdH2154 womenH802.
Ye stiffneckedG4644 andG2532 uncircumcisedG564 in heartG2588 andG2532 earsG3775, yeG5210 doG496 alwaysG104 resistG496 the HolyG40 GhostG4151: asG5613 yourG5216 fathersG3962 did, soG2532 do yeG5210.
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:
WhoG3748 have receivedG2983 the lawG3551 byG1519 the dispositionG1296 of angelsG32, andG2532 haveG5442 notG3756 keptG5442 it.
