“
The sin of Judah is written with an
iron stylus
, engraved
with a diamond point
on
the tablets
of their hearts
and on
the horns of their
altars .
The sin of Judah is written with a
pen
of
iron, `and'
with the
point
of
a diamond :
it
is
graven
upon
the tablet
of their heart,
and upon
the horns of your
altars ;
Even
their children remember their altars and Asherah
poles
by the green trees and
on
the high hills.
whilst
their children remember their altars and their
Asherim
by the green trees upon
the high hills.
O My mountain in the countryside
, I will give over
your
wealth
and all your
treasures as
plunder
, because of the
sin of
your
high
places
, within
all your
borders.
O my mountain in the field
, I will give thy
substance
and all thy
treasures for
a
spoil
, `and'
thy
high
places,
because of sin, throughout
all thy
borders.
And you
yourself
will
relinquish
the
inheritance
that I gave you.
I will enslave
you
to your
enemies in a
land that
you
do
not know,
for you
have kindled My
anger ;
it
will
burn forever
. ”
And thou,
even
of
thyself,
shalt
discontinue
from
thy
heritage
that I gave thee;
and
I will cause
thee
to serve
thine
enemies in the
land which
thou
knowest
not :
for ye
have kindled a
fire
in
mine
anger which
shall
burn for
ever
.
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “
Cursed is the man who
trusts
in mankind
, who
makes
the
flesh his strength
and turns
his
heart from the
LORD
.
Thus
saith
Jehovah
: Cursed is the man that
trusteth
in man
, and
maketh
flesh his arm,
and whose
heart departeth
from Jehovah
.
He will
be like a
shrub
in the desert ;
he
will
not see when prosperity
comes.
He
will
dwell
in
the parched places of
the desert
, in
a salt land where
no
one
lives
.
For
he shall
be like the
heath
in the desert ,
and
shall
not see when good
cometh,
but
shall
inhabit
the parched places in
the wilderness
, a salt land and
not
inhabited
.
But
blessed is the man who
trusts
in the
LORD
, whose confidence
is in
Him
.
Blessed is the man that
trusteth
in Jehovah
, and
whose trust
Jehovah
is.
He is
like
a tree planted by the waters that sends
out its roots toward
the stream.
It
does
not fear when the
heat comes
, and
its leaves
are
always
green .
It
does
not worry
in a
year of drought, nor
does
it
cease to
produce
fruit.
For
he shall
be
as
a tree planted by the waters ,
that spreadeth
out its roots by
the river,
and
shall
not fear when heat cometh
, but
its leaf
shall
be
green ;
and
shall
not be
careful
in the
year of drought, neither
shall
cease from
yielding
fruit.
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond
cure.
Who can understand
it?
The heart is deceitful above all things ,
and it
is
exceedingly
corrupt:
who can know
it?
I, the
LORD
, search the heart;
I examine
the mind
to reward
a
man according to his way
, by
what
his deeds
deserve
.
I, Jehovah
, search the mind,
I try
the heart,
even
to give
every
man according to his ways
, according
to
the
fruit
of
his doings
.
Like
a
partridge hatching
eggs it
did
not lay
is the
man
who
makes
a
fortune
unjustly.
In the middle
of his days his
riches
will
desert
him, and in
the
end he will
be the
fool. ”
As
the
partridge that
sitteth
on
`
eggs '
which
she
hath
not laid,
so
is he
that
getteth
riches,
and
not
by
right;
in the midst
of his days they
shall
leave
him, and at
his
end he shall
be a
fool.
A glorious throne, exalted
from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
A glorious throne, `set'
on
high
from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
O LORD
, the hope of Israel, all who
abandon
You
will
be put to shame. All
who
turn
away
will
be written in the dust
, for
they have abandoned
the
LORD
, the fountain of living water
.
O Jehovah
, the hope of Israel, all that
forsake
thee
shall
be put to shame. They
that
depart
from
me
shall
be written in the earth
, because
they have forsaken
Jehovah
, the fountain of living waters
.
Heal me, O LORD
, and I will
be healed; save me, and I will
be saved ,
for You
are
my praise.
Heal me, O Jehovah
, and I shall
be healed; save me, and I shall
be saved :
for thou
art
my praise.
Behold, they keep
saying
to
me, “
Where is the word of the
LORD
? Let it come now !”
Behold, they say
unto
me, Where is the word of Jehovah
? let it come now .
But
I have not run
away
from being Your
shepherd; I
have not
desired the day of
despair.
You
know
that the
utterance
of my lips was spoken
in
Your
presence
.
As
for
me,
I have not hastened
from being a
shepherd after
thee
; neither
have I
desired the woeful
day ;
thou
knowest:
that which
came
out
of my lips was before
thy
face
.
Do
not become
a terror to
me ;
You
are
my refuge in the day of disaster
.
Be
not a terror unto
me :
thou
art
my refuge in the day of evil
.
Let my
persecutors
be put to shame, but do
not
let me be put to shame .
Let them be terrified
, but do
not
let me be terrified.
Bring upon them the day of disaster
and shatter
them with double destruction.
Let them
be put to shame that
persecute
me
, but let not
me be put to shame ;
let them be dismayed
, but let not
me be dismayed;
bring upon them the day of evil,
and destroy
them with double destruction.
This
is
what
the
LORD
said to
me: “
Go and stand at
the gate of the people, through
which
the kings of Judah go
in and out ;
and stand
at
all the other
gates of Jerusalem .
Thus
said Jehovah
unto
me: Go ,
and stand in
the gate of the children
of
the
people, whereby
the kings of Judah come
in ,
and by
which
they
go
out ,
and in
all the gates of Jerusalem ;
Say to
them, ‘
Hear the word of the
LORD
, O
kings of Judah, all people
of
Judah and Jerusalem who
enter through
these gates .
and
say unto
them, Hear ye
the word of Jehovah
, ye
kings of Judah, and
all Judah ,
and all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem ,
that
enter in
by
these gates :
This
is
what
the
LORD
says:
Take heed for
yourselves ;
do
not
carry
a
load
or
bring it through
the gates of Jerusalem on
the
Sabbath
day.
Thus
saith
Jehovah,
Take heed to
yourselves ,
and
bear
no
burden
on
the
sabbath
day,
nor
bring it in
by
the gates of Jerusalem ;
You
must
not
carry a load
out of your houses or
do
any
work
on the Sabbath day, but you
must
keep
the Sabbath day holy
, just
as I commanded your forefathers
.
neither
carry forth
a burden
out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither
do
ye
any
work:
but hallow
ye
the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers
.
Yet
they would
not listen
or
incline
their ear, but they
stiffened
their necks
and would
not listen
or
receive My
discipline
.
But
they hearkened
not ,
neither
inclined
their ear, but made
their neck
stiff,
that
they
might
not
hear,
and might
not receive instruction
.
If,
however,
you
listen
carefully
to Me, says
the
LORD
, and
bring no load
through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and
keep
the Sabbath day holy
, and
do no work on
it,
And
it
shall
come
to pass,
if
ye
diligently
hearken
unto
me, saith
Jehovah
, to
bring in
no burden
through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but
to
hallow
the sabbath day, to
do no work therein;
then kings
and
princes
will
enter through
the gates of this city .
They
will
sit
on
the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses with
their officials
, along
with
the men of Judah and the residents
of Jerusalem ,
and this city will
be
inhabited
forever
.
then shall
there
enter in
by
the gates of this city kings
and
princes
sitting
upon
the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses ,
they,
and
their princes
, the men of Judah ,
and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem ;
and this city shall
remain
for
ever
.
And people
will
come from the cities of Judah and the places around
Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, and from the foothills
, the hill country, and the Negev
, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain
offerings and frankincense, and thank
offerings
to
the house of the
LORD
.
And they
shall
come from the cities of Judah ,
and from
the places round
about
Jerusalem, and
from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland
, and
from
the hill -
country, and from
the South
, bringing burnt -
offerings ,
and sacrifices, and
meal-
offerings ,
and frankincense, and bringing
`sacrifices
of'
thanksgiving,
unto
the house of Jehovah
.
But if you
do
not listen
to
Me to keep
the Sabbath day holy
by
not carrying
a load
while
entering
the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day ,
then I
will kindle an
unquenchable
fire in its
gates to
consume
the citadels
of Jerusalem. ’”
But if ye
will
not hearken
unto
me to hallow
the sabbath day ,
and
not to
bear
a burden
and
enter
in
at
the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day ;
then will I
kindle a
fire in the
gates thereof,
and
it
shall
devour
the palaces
of Jerusalem ,
and
it
shall
not
be
quenched
.
