YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
The word that hath
been
unto
Jeremiah from Jehovah,
saying :
The word that came
to
Jeremiah from the
LORD
saying ,
`
Hear ye the words of this covenant, and ye
have
spoken
unto the men of Judah, and unto
the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak
unto the men of Judah, and to
the inhabitants of Jerusalem ;
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,
And say
thou unto them, Thus saith
the
LORD
God of Israel ;
Cursed be
the man that
obeyeth
not the words of this covenant,
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 ,
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 :
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
. '
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
.
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.
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 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 ,
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 .
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. '
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 Jehovah
saith
unto me :
`
A conspiracy is found in
the men of Judah, And in
the inhabitants 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
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.
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 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.
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.
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
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
.
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 --
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
.
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
.
`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
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
.
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.
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 ,
O
Jehovah,
cause
me to
know
, and I know ,
Then Thou hast
showed
me their doings.
And the
LORD
hath
given
me knowledge
of
it
, and I know it:
then thou shewedst
me their doings.
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
.
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.
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. '
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 ,
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.
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:
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 ,
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 :
And they
have
no remnant ,
For I bring evil unto
the men of Anathoth, The year of their inspection!'
And there
shall
be
no remnant of
them:
for I will
bring evil upon
the men of Anathoth, even
the year of their visitation.
