Young's Literal Translation
This
is
the word that came
to
Jeremiah from the
LORD
:
The word that hath
been
unto
Jeremiah from Jehovah,
saying
:
“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 ye
have
spoken
unto
the men of Judah ,
and unto
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
thou
hast
said
unto
them, Thus
said
Jehovah
God of Israel: Cursed `
is '
the man who doth
not obey 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 .’
That
I commanded your fathers,
In
the
day
of
My
bringing
them out from
the land of Egypt, Out of the iron furnace, saying, Hearken
to
My
voice
, and ye
have
done
them,
According
to
all
that
I command you, And ye
have
been
to
Me
for
a
people, And I am
to
you
for
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
.
In order to establish the oath that
I have
sworn
to your fathers
, To give to
them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day. And
I
answer
and
say
, `Amen
, O
Jehovah
. '
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
.
And
Jehovah
saith
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 ye
have
done
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 certainly
testified
against
your fathers ,
In
the
day
of
My
bringing
them
up
out of the land of Egypt --
till
this
day
, Rising
early
and testifying
, saying, Hearken
to
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
. ”
And
they have
not hearkened
nor
inclined
their ear
, And
they
walk
each in
the stubbornness of their
evil heart ,
And
I bring
on them all the words
of this covenant ,
That
I commanded to do,
and
they did not. '
And the
LORD
told
me ,
“There
is
a conspiracy among
the men of Judah and the residents
of Jerusalem.
And Jehovah
saith
unto
me :
`
A conspiracy is
found
in
the men of Judah ,
And in
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 have turned
back
to the iniquities
of their first
fathers,
Who refused to hear
My words ,
And
they have gone
after
other gods to serve them ,
The house of Israel ,
and the house of Judah ,
Have made
void
My
covenant ,
that
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
said
Jehovah
: Lo,
I am bringing
in
unto
them evil,
That they are
not
able
to go
out
from,
And
they
have
cried
unto
Me, And
I do
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
.
And
the cities of Judah ,
and inhabitants
of Jerusalem have
gone,
And they
have
cried
unto
the gods ,
To whom
they are
making
perfume
, And
they
give
no
deliverance
at
all
to
them ,
In the
time of their
vexation
.
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
--
the
number
of
thy
cities have
been
thy
gods
, O Judah ,
And
--
the number
of the streets
of
Jerusalem
Ye
have
placed
altars to a
shameful
thing,
Altars
to make
perfume
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
.
And
thou
, thou
dost
not pray for this
people ,
Nor
dost
thou
lift
up for
them
cry and
prayer, For I do
not hearken
in the
time of their
calling
unto
Me
for
their
vexation
.
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 --
to
My beloved in My house, Her
doing
wickedness
with
many, And
the
holy
flesh
do
pass
over
from
thee
? When
thou
dost
evil,
then
thou
exultest.
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
.
`An
olive, green,
fair,
of
goodly
fruit ,'
Hath
Jehovah
called
thy
name,
At
the
noise
of
a great
tumult
He hath
kindled
fire against
it
, And broken
have
been
its thin
branches.
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. ”
And
Jehovah
of Hosts, who is
planting
thee
, Hath
spoken
evil
concerning
thee,
For
the evil of
the house of Israel ,
and of
the house of Judah ,
That
they
have done
to
themselves, To
provoke
Me to anger ,
to make
perfume
to
Baal.
And the
LORD
informed
me, so
I knew.
Then You
showed me their deeds
.
And ,
O
Jehovah,
cause
me to
know
, and
I know,
Then Thou
hast
showed 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
. ”
And
I `am'
as
a trained
lamb brought
to slaughter ,
And
I have
not known
That against me they
have
devised
devices
: We
destroy the tree with its food,
and
cut him off From the land of the living, And
his name is
not
remembered again
.
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.
And
O Jehovah
of Hosts, judging
righteousness
, Trying
reins
and heart
, I
do
see Thy
vengeance against
them, For unto
Thee
I have 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
said
Jehovah
concerning the men
of Anathoth ,
who are seeking thy
life, saying:
Do
not prophesy in the name of Jehovah
, And
thou
dost
not
die by our hands
.
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
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: `Lo,
I am
seeing
after
them ,
The
chosen
ones
die by sword, Their sons and their
daughters 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
they
have
no remnant, For I bring evil
unto
the men
of Anathoth ,
The year of their inspection!'
