This
is
the word that came to Jeremiah from the
LORD:
The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh,
saying,
“Listen
to
the words of this covenant and tell
them
to the men of Judah and the residents
of Jerusalem .
Hear
you
the words of this covenant ,
and speak
to 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
you to
them, Thus
says
Yahweh,
the God of Israel: Cursed be
the man who doesn't
hear
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, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey my
voice
, and do them,
according
to
all
which
I command you :
so
shall
you 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
establish the oath which
I swore to your fathers
, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at
this day. Then
answered
I
, and
said
, Amen,
Yahweh
.
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
.
Yahweh
said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah ,
and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying ,
Hear you
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
to
your fathers in
the
day
that
I
brought
them
up
out of the land of Egypt, even
to
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 didn't
obey ,
nor
turn
their ear
, but walked
everyone
in
the stubbornness of their
evil heart :
therefore
I brought on them all the words
of this covenant ,
which
I commanded them to do,
but they didn't
do
them
.
And
the
LORD
told
me, “There
is
a conspiracy among the men of Judah and the residents
of Jerusalem.
Yahweh
said
to
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 ,
who refused to hear
my words ;
and
they are
gone
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
says Yahweh,
Behold,
I will
bring evil
on
them ,
which
they shall
not
be
able
to
escape ;
and
they shall
cry to me, but I will not listen to 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 the inhabitants
of Jerusalem go and cry to the gods to which they offer
incense :
but they
will 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
your cities
are your gods
, Judah; and
according
to
the number
of the
streets
of
Jerusalem
have you
set up altars
to
the shameful
thing,
even
altars to burn incense to 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
don't
you pray for this
people ,
neither
lift
up cry nor
prayer for them;
for
I will not hear
them
in
the
time
that
they cry
to me because
of 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 has my beloved to
do
in my house, seeing
she
has
worked
lewdness
[with]
many ,
and
the
holy
flesh
is
passed
from
you
? when
you
do
evil
, then
you rejoice .
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
.
Yahweh
called your
name,
A green
olive tree, beautiful with goodly
fruit :
with the
noise
of
a great
tumult
he has
kindled
fire on
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
Yahweh
of Hosts, who planted you, has pronounced
evil
against you ,
because
of the evil of
the house of Israel and of
the house of Judah ,
which
they
have worked
for
themselves in
provoking me to anger by offering
incense to Baal.
And
the
LORD
informed
me, so
I knew .
Then You showed
me their deeds
.
Yahweh
gave
me knowledge
of
it
, and
I knew it:
then you shown
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 gentle lamb that
is
led to the
slaughter; and
I didn't
know that they had devised
devices
against me ,
[saying],
Let us destroy the tree with the
fruit of
it,
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,
Yahweh
of Hosts, who judge
righteously, who try
the heart and the
mind, I
shall
see your vengeance on
them ;
for to you 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
says Yahweh
concerning the men
of Anathoth ,
who seek
your life ,
saying, You shall
not prophesy in the name of Yahweh
, that
you not
die 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
says
Yahweh
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 to
them:
for I will bring evil
on the men
of Anathoth ,
even
the year of their visitation
.
