The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 concerning all the JewsH3064 which dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, which dwellH3427 at MigdolH4024, and at TahpanhesH8471, and at NophH5297, and in the countryH776 of PathrosH6624, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Ye have seenH7200 all the evilH7451 that I have broughtH935 upon JerusalemH3389, and upon all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063; and, behold, this dayH3117 they are a desolationH2723, and no man dwellethH3427 therein,
BecauseH6440 of their wickednessH7451 which they have committedH6213 to provoke me to angerH3707, in that they wentH3212 to burn incenseH6999, and to serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, whom they knewH3045 not, neither they, ye, nor your fathersH1.
Howbeit I sentH7971 unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them, sayingH559, Oh, doH6213 not this abominableH8441 thingH1697 that I hateH8130.
But they hearkenedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241 to turnH7725 from their wickednessH7451, to burn no incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430.
Wherefore my furyH2534 and mine angerH639 was poured forthH5413, and was kindledH1197 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389; and they are wastedH2723 and desolateH8077, as at this dayH3117.
Therefore now thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Wherefore commitH6213 ye this greatH1419 evilH7451 against your soulsH5315, to cut offH3772 from you manH376 and womanH802, childH5768 and sucklingH3243, outH8432 of JudahH3063, to leaveH3498 you none to remainH7611; {out…: Heb. out of the midst of Judah}
In that ye provoke me unto wrathH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027, burning incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, whither ye be goneH935 to dwellH1481, that ye might cut yourselves offH3772, and that ye might be a curseH7045 and a reproachH2781 among all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776?
Have ye forgottenH7911 the wickednessH7451 of your fathersH1, and the wickednessH7451 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and the wickednessH7451 of their wivesH802, and your own wickednessH7451, and the wickednessH7451 of your wivesH802, which they have committedH6213 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389? {wickedness…: Heb. wickednesses, or, punishments, etc}
They are not humbledH1792 even unto this dayH3117, neither have they fearedH3372, nor walkedH1980 in my lawH8451, nor in my statutesH2708, that I setH5414 beforeH6440 you and beforeH6440 your fathersH1. {humbled: Heb. contrite}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will setH7760 my faceH6440 against you for evilH7451, and to cut offH3772 all JudahH3063.
And I will takeH3947 the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that have setH7760 their facesH6440 to goH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there, and they shall all be consumedH8552, and fallH5307 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; they shall even be consumedH8552 by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458: they shall dieH4191, from the leastH6996 even unto the greatestH1419, by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458: and they shall be an execrationH423, and an astonishmentH8047, and a curseH7045, and a reproachH2781.
For I will punishH6485 them that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as I have punishedH6485 JerusalemH3389, by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698:
So that none of the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, which are goneH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there, shall escapeH6412 or remainH8300, that they should returnH7725 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, to the which they haveH5375 a desireH5315 to returnH7725 to dwellH3427 there: for none shall returnH7725 but such as shall escapeH6405. {have…: Heb. lift up their soul}
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?}
Then JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, to the menH1397, and to the womenH802, and to all the peopleH5971 which had given him that answerH1697+H6030, sayingH559,
The incenseH7002 that ye burnedH6999 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, ye, and your fathersH1, your kingsH4428, and your princesH8269, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, did not the LORDH3068 rememberH2142 them, and cameH5927 it not into his mindH3820?
So that the LORDH3068 couldH3201 no longer bearH5375, becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, and becauseH6440 of the abominationsH8441 which ye have committedH6213; therefore is your landH776 a desolationH2723, and an astonishmentH8047, and a curseH7045, without an inhabitantH3427, as at this dayH3117.
BecauseH6440+H834 ye have burned incenseH6999, and because ye have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068, and have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, nor walkedH1980 in his lawH8451, nor in his statutesH2708, nor in his testimoniesH5715; therefore this evilH7451 is happenedH7122 unto you, as at this dayH3117.
Moreover JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, and to all the womenH802, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, all JudahH3063 that are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
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.
Therefore hearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, all JudahH3063 that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; Behold, I have swornH7650 by my greatH1419 nameH8034, saithH559 the LORDH3068, that my nameH8034 shall no more be namedH7121 in the mouthH6310 of any manH376 of JudahH3063 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559, The LordH136 GODH3069 livethH2416.
Behold, I will watchH8245 over them for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896: and all the menH376 of JudahH3063 that are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall be consumedH8552 by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458, until there be an endH3615 of them.
Yet a smallH4962 numberH4557 that escapeH6412 the swordH2719 shall return outH7725 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and all the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that are goneH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there, shall knowH3045 whose wordsH1697 shall standH6965, mine, or theirs. {mine…: Heb. from me, or, from them}
And this shall be a signH226 unto you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will punishH6485 you in this placeH4725, that ye may knowH3045 that my wordsH1697 shall surelyH6965 standH6965 against you for evilH7451:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will giveH5414 PharaohhophraH6548 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 into the handH3027 of his enemiesH341, and into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 his lifeH5315; as I gaveH5414 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, his enemyH341, and that soughtH1245 his lifeH5315.

Hast thou not procuredH6213 this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whenH6256 he ledH3212 thee by the wayH1870?
And now what hast thou to do in the wayH1870 of EgyptH4714, to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of SihorH7883? or what hast thou to do in the wayH1870 of AssyriaH804, to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of the riverH5104?
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.
If thy brotherH251, the sonH1121 of thy motherH517, or thy sonH1121, or thy daughterH1323, or the wifeH802 of thy bosomH2436, or thy friendH7453, which is as thine own soulH5315, enticeH5496 thee secretlyH5643, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which thou hast not knownH3045, thou, nor thy fathersH1;
As keepersH8104 of a fieldH7704, are they against her round aboutH5439; because she hath been rebelliousH4784 against me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For they wentH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, and whom he had not givenH2505 unto them: {whom he…: or, who had not given to them any portion} {given: Heb. divided}
Thy wayH1870 and thy doingsH4611 have procuredH6213 these things unto thee; this is thy wickednessH7451, because it is bitterH4751, because it reachethH5060 unto thine heartH3820.
They sacrificedH2076 unto devilsH7700, not to GodH433; to godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, to newH2319 gods that cameH935 newlyH7138 upH935, whom your fathersH1 fearedH8175 not. {not to…: or, which were not God}
And it shall come to pass, when ye shall sayH559, WhereforeH8478+H4100 doethH6213 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 all these things unto us? then shalt thou answerH559 them, Like as ye have forsakenH5800 me, and servedH5647 strangeH5236 godsH430 in your landH776, so shall ye serveH5647 strangersH2114 in a landH776 that is not yours.
Shall I not visitH6485 for these things? saithH5002 the LORDH3068: shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on such a nationH1471 as this?
Who is the wiseH2450 manH376, that may understandH995 this? and who is he to whom the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696, that he may declareH5046 it, for what the landH776 perishethH6 and is burned upH3341 like a wildernessH4057, that none passeth throughH5674?
And the LORDH3068 saithH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 my lawH8451 which I setH5414 beforeH6440 them, and have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, neither walkedH1980 therein;
But have walkedH3212 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their own heartH3820, and afterH310 BaalimH1168, which their fathersH1 taughtH3925 them: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
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.
Then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Because your fathersH1 have forsakenH5800 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and have walkedH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, and have servedH5647 them, and have worshippedH7812 them, and have forsakenH5800 me, and have not keptH8104 my lawH8451;
And ye have doneH6213 worseH7489 than your fathersH1; for, beholdH2009, ye walkH1980 every oneH376 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820, that they may not hearkenH8085 unto me: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
And sayH559, HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, the which whosoever hearethH8085, his earsH241 shall tingleH6750.
Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have estrangedH5234 this placeH4725, and have burned incenseH6999 in it unto otherH312 godsH430, whom neither they nor their fathersH1 have knownH3045, nor the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and have filledH4390 this placeH4725 with the bloodH1818 of innocentsH5355;
Then they shall answerH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and worshippedH7812 otherH312 godsH430, and servedH5647 them.
And saidH559, O my GodH430, I am ashamedH954 and blushH3637 to lift upH7311 my faceH6440 to thee, my GodH430: for our iniquitiesH5771 are increasedH7235 overH4605 our headH7218, and our trespassH819 is grown upH1431 unto the heavensH8064. {trespass: or, guiltiness}
Since the daysH3117 of our fathersH1 have we been in a greatH1419 trespassH819 unto this dayH3117; and for our iniquitiesH5771 have we, our kingsH4428, and our priestsH3548, been deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingsH4428 of the landsH776, to the swordH2719, to captivityH7628, and to a spoilH961, and to confusionH1322 of faceH6440, as it is this dayH3117.
And now for a littleH4592 spaceH7281 graceH8467 hath been shewed from the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to leaveH7604 us a remnant to escapeH6413, and to giveH5414 us a nailH3489 in his holyH6944 placeH4725, that our GodH430 may lightenH215 our eyesH5869, and giveH5414 us a littleH4592 revivingH4241 in our bondageH5659. {space: Heb. moment} {a nail: or, a pin: that is, a constant and sure abode}
For we were bondmenH5650; yet our GodH430 hath not forsakenH5800 us in our bondageH5659, but hath extendedH5186 mercyH2617 unto us in the sightH6440 of the kingsH4428 of PersiaH6539, to giveH5414 us a revivingH4241, to set upH7311 the houseH1004 of our GodH430, and to repairH5975 the desolationsH2723 thereof, and to giveH5414 us a wallH1447 in JudahH3063 and in JerusalemH3389. {to repair: Heb. to set up}
And now, O our GodH430, what shall we sayH559 afterH310 this? for we have forsakenH5800 thy commandmentsH4687,
Which thou hast commandedH6680 byH3027 thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, The landH776, unto which ye goH935 to possessH3423 it, is an uncleanH5079 landH776 with the filthinessH5079 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776, with their abominationsH8441, which have filledH4390 it from one endH6310 to anotherH6310 with their uncleannessH2932. {by: Heb. by the hand of} {from…: Heb. from mouth to mouth}
Howbeit thou art justH6662 in all that is broughtH935 upon us; for thou hast doneH6213 rightH571, but we have done wickedlyH7561:
JerusalemH3389 hath grievouslyH2399 sinnedH2398; therefore she is removedH5206: all that honouredH3513 her despiseH2107 her, because they have seenH7200 her nakednessH6172: yea, she sighethH584, and turnethH7725 backwardH268. {is…: Heb. is become a removing, or, wandering}
For the sinsH2403 of her prophetsH5030, and the iniquitiesH5771 of her priestsH3548, that have shedH8210 the bloodH1818 of the justH6662 in the midstH7130 of her,
Then he saidH559 unto me, Hast thou seenH7200 this, O sonH1121 of manH120? Is it a light thingH7043 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 that they commitH6213 the abominationsH8441 which they commitH6213 here? for they have filledH4390 the landH776 with violenceH2555, and have returnedH7725 to provoke me to angerH3707: and, lo, they putH7971 the branchH2156 to their noseH639. {Is it…: or, Is there any thing lighter than to commit}
Therefore will I also dealH6213 in furyH2534: mine eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347, neither will I have pityH2550: and though they cryH7121 in mine earsH241 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, yet will I not hearH8085 them.
Then saidH559 he unto me, The iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 is exceedingH3966+H3966 greatH1419, and the landH776 is fullH4390 of bloodH1818, and the cityH5892 fullH4390 of perversenessH4297: for they sayH559, The LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5800 the earthH776, and the LORDH3068 seethH7200 not. {full of blood: Heb. filled with, etc} {perverseness: or, wresting of judgment}
There is a conspiracyH7195 of her prophetsH5030 in the midstH8432 thereof, like a roaringH7580 lionH738 raveningH2963 the preyH2964; they have devouredH398 soulsH5315; they have takenH3947 the treasureH2633 and precious thingsH3366; they have made her manyH7235 widowsH490 in the midstH8432 thereof.
Her priestsH3548 have violatedH2554 my lawH8451, and have profanedH2490 mine holy thingsH6944: they have put no differenceH914 between the holyH6944 and profaneH2455, neither have they shewedH3045 difference between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and have hidH5956 their eyesH5869 from my sabbathsH7676, and I am profanedH2490 amongH8432 them. {violated: Heb. offered violence to}
Her princesH8269 in the midstH7130 thereof are like wolvesH2061 raveningH2963 the preyH2964, to shedH8210 bloodH1818, and to destroyH6 soulsH5315, to getH1214 dishonest gainH1215.
And her prophetsH5030 have daubedH2902 them with untemperedH8602 morter, seeingH2374 vanityH7723, and diviningH7080 liesH3577 unto them, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, when the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696.
The peopleH5971 of the landH776 have used oppressionH6231+H6233, and exercisedH1497 robberyH1498, and have vexedH3238 the poorH6041 and needyH34: yea, they have oppressedH6231 the strangerH1616 wrongfullyH4941. {oppression: or, deceit} {wrongfully: Heb. without right}
And I soughtH1245 for a manH376 among them, that should make upH1443 the hedgeH1447, and standH5975 in the gapH6556 beforeH6440 me for the landH776, that I should not destroyH7843 it: but I foundH4672 none.
Therefore have I poured outH8210 mine indignationH2195 upon them; I have consumedH3615 them with the fireH784 of my wrathH5678: their own wayH1870 have I recompensedH5414 upon their headsH7218, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
We have sinnedH2398, and have committed iniquityH5753, and have done wickedlyH7561, and have rebelledH4775, even by departingH5493 from thy preceptsH4687 and from thy judgmentsH4941:
Yea, they madeH7760 their heartsH3820 as an adamant stoneH8068, lest they should hearH8085 the lawH8451, and the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath sentH7971 in his spiritH7307 byH3027 the formerH7223 prophetsH5030: therefore came a greatH1419 wrathH7110 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
