“Listen
to
the words of this covenant and tell
them
to
the men of Judah and the residents
of Jerusalem .
Hear
ye
the words of this covenant ,
and speak
unto
the men of Judah ,
and to
the inhabitants
of Jerusalem ;
You
must
tell
them that
this
is
what
the
LORD
, the God of Israel ,
says:
Cursed is
the man who
does
not obey
the words of this covenant,
And
say
thou
unto
them, Thus
saith
the LORD
God of Israel ;
Cursed be
the man that
obeyeth
not the words of this covenant,
which I commanded your forefathers
when
I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out
of
the iron furnace, saying, ‘
Obey Me
, and do everything
I command you ,
and
you
will
be My people, and I will be your God .’
Which I commanded your fathers
in
the
day
that
I brought them forth
out of the land of Egypt, from
the iron furnace, saying, Obey my
voice
, and do them,
according
to
all
which
I command you :
so
shall
ye
be my people, and I will be your God :
This
was
in
order
to
establish
the oath I swore
to
your forefathers
, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is to
this day. ”
“Amen
, LORD
, ”
I
answered
.
That
I
may
perform
the oath which
I have
sworn
unto
your fathers
, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then
answered
I
, and
said
, So
be
it,
O
LORD
.
Then the LORD said to
me, “
Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying :
Hear the words of this covenant and carry
them out
.
Then the LORD said unto
me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah ,
and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying ,
Hear ye
the words of this covenant ,
and do
them.
For from
the
time
I brought
your fathers out of the land of Egypt until
today
, I
strongly
warned
them
again
and again
, saying, ‘
Obey My voice. ’
For I earnestly
protested
unto
your fathers in
the
day
that
I
brought
them
up
out of the land of Egypt, even
unto
this
day,
rising
early
and protesting
, saying, Obey my voice.
Yet they would
not obey
or
incline
their ears
, but each
one followed
the stubbornness
of his
evil heart .
So
I brought
on
them all the curses
of this covenant I had
commanded them to follow
but they did not keep
. ”
Yet they obeyed
not ,
nor
inclined
their ear
, but walked
every
one in
the imagination
of their
evil heart :
therefore
I will
bring
upon
them all the words
of this covenant ,
which
I commanded them to do:
but they did them
not.
And the LORD told
me, “There
is
a conspiracy among the men of Judah and the residents
of Jerusalem.
And the LORD said
unto
me, A conspiracy is
found
among the men of Judah ,
and among
the inhabitants
of Jerusalem.
They have
returned
to the sins
of their forefathers who
refused to obey
My words .
They have
followed
other gods to serve them .
The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the
covenant I made with their fathers.
They are
turned
back
to the iniquities
of their forefathers ,
which
refused to hear
my words ;
and
they went
after
other gods to serve them :
the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my
covenant which
I made with their fathers.
Therefore this
is
what
the LORD says:
‘
I am
about
to
bring upon them a
disaster
that
they cannot
escape .
They will
cry out
to
Me, but
I will not listen
to
them.
Therefore thus
saith
the LORD ,
Behold,
I will
bring evil
upon them ,
which
they shall
not
be
able
to
escape ;
and
though
they shall
cry unto
me, I will not hearken
unto
them.
Then the cities of Judah and the
residents
of Jerusalem will
go and cry out
to
the gods to
which
they have
been
burning
incense ,
but these
gods
certainly
will
not save them in their
time of disaster
.
Then shall
the cities of Judah and inhabitants
of Jerusalem go ,
and cry unto
the gods unto
whom
they offer
incense :
but they
shall
not save them at
all
in the
time of their
trouble
.
Your
gods
are
indeed
as
numerous
as
your
cities, O Judah; the altars
of shame
you
have set up —the
altars to burn incense to
Baal —are
as
many
as
the
streets
of
Jerusalem
. ’
For
according
to
the
number
of
thy
cities were
thy
gods
, O Judah; and
according
to
the number
of the
streets
of
Jerusalem
have ye
set up altars to that
shameful
thing,
even
altars
to
burn incense unto
Baal.
As
for
you,
do
not
pray for these
people .
Do
not
raise
up a cry or a
prayer on
their
behalf,
for I will not be
listening
when
they call
out
to
Me in
their time
of
disaster
.
Therefore
pray not
thou
for this
people ,
neither
lift
up a cry or prayer for them:
for
I will not hear
them
in
the
time
that
they cry
unto
me for
their trouble
.
What right
has
My beloved in My
house, having
carried
out
so
many evil
schemes?
Can
consecrated
meat
avert
your
doom
, so
that
you
can
rejoice
?
What hath
my beloved to
do
in mine
house, seeing
she
hath
wrought
lewdness
with
many, and
the
holy
flesh
is
passed
from
thee
? when
thou
doest
evil,
then
thou
rejoicest.
The LORD once
called you
a flourishing
olive tree, beautiful
with
well-formed
fruit .
But
with a mighty
roar
He will
set
it
on
fire, and its
branches will
be
consumed
.
The LORD called thy
name,
A green
olive tree, fair,
and
of
goodly
fruit :
with the
noise
of
a great
tumult
he hath
kindled
fire upon
it
, and the
branches of
it
are
broken
.
The LORD of Hosts, who
planted you
, has
decreed
disaster
against you
on
account
of
the evil that
the house of Israel and the house of Judah have brought
upon
themselves ,
provoking
Me to anger by
burning
incense to
Baal. ”
For
the LORD of hosts, that
planted thee
, hath
pronounced
evil
against thee,
for
the evil of
the house of Israel and of
the house of Judah ,
which
they
have done
against
themselves to
provoke
me to anger in
offering
incense unto
Baal.
And the LORD informed
me, so
I knew.
Then You
showed
me their deeds
.
And the LORD hath
given
me knowledge
of
it
, and
I know
it:
then thou
shewedst
me their doings
.
For
I was like a gentle
lamb led
to slaughter; I did
not know
that they had plotted
against me :
“
Let us destroy the tree with its
fruit ;
let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be remembered
no more. ”
But
I was like a lamb or
an
ox
that
is
brought
to the
slaughter; and
I knew
not that they had devised
devices
against me ,
saying,
Let us destroy the tree with the
fruit thereof,
and
let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered
.
O LORD of Hosts, who
judges
righteously, who
examines
the heart
and mind
, let me see Your
vengeance upon
them ,
for to
You
I
have committed
my cause.
But,
O LORD of hosts, that
judgest
righteously, that
triest
the reins
and the
heart
, let me see thy
vengeance on
them :
for unto
thee
have I
revealed
my cause.
Therefore this
is
what
the LORD says
concerning
the people
of Anathoth who
are
seeking
your
life and
saying, “You
must
not
prophesy in the name of the LORD, or
you
will
die by our hand .”
Therefore thus
saith
the LORD of
the men
of Anathoth ,
that
seek
thy
life ,
saying, Prophesy not
in the name of the LORD, that
thou
die not
by our hand :
So
this
is
what
the LORD of Hosts says:
“
I will punish them .
Their
young men will
die by the sword ,
their sons and daughters by famine .
Therefore
thus
saith
the LORD of hosts ,
Behold,
I will punish them :
the
young men shall
die by the sword ;
their sons and their
daughters shall
die
by famine :
There will
be no remnant ,
for I will bring disaster
on
the people
of Anathoth in
the year of their punishment
. ”
And
there shall
be no remnant of
them:
for I will bring evil
upon
the men
of Anathoth ,
even
the year of their visitation
.
