YLT
Young's Literal Translation
The word which
came
to
Jeremiah from the
LORD
, saying,
The word that
hath
been
unto
Jeremiah from Jehovah
, saying,
Arise
, and go
down to the potter's house, and there I will
cause thee to hear my words .
Rise
, and thou
hast
gone
down `
to '
the potter's house, and there I cause thee to hear My words ;
Then
I went
down to the potter's house, and ,
behold
, he wrought
a work on the wheels.
and
I go
down `
to '
the potter's house, and lo
, he is
doing
a work on the stones,
And the vessel that he made
of
clay was
marred
in the hand of the potter :
so
he made
it again
another vessel, as seemed
good
to
the potter to make it
.
and marred
is
the vessel that he is
making,
as
clay in the hand of the potter ,
and
he hath
turned
and
he
maketh
it another vessel, as it
was
right
in
the eyes
of
the
potter to make.
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to me, saying ,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
to me, saying :
O house of Israel, cannot
I
do
with
you
as
this
potter?
saith
the
LORD
. Behold
, as the
clay is
in the potter's
hand, so are ye in mine
hand, O house of Israel.
As
this
potter
am
I
not
able
to
do
to
you?
O house of Israel, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. Lo
, as clay in the hand of
the
potter
, So `
are '
ye in My
hand, O house of Israel.
At
what
instant
I shall
speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up ,
and to pull
down, and to destroy it;
The
moment
I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, To pluck up and to break
down, and to destroy ,
If
that nation, against
whom
I have pronounced,
turn
from
their
evil
, I will
repent
of the evil that I thought to do unto
them
.
And
that nation hath
turned
from
its
evil
, Because
I have spoken
against
it
, Then
I have
repented
of the evil that I thought to do to
it
.
And at
what
instant
I shall
speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
And the
moment
I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, to build ,
and to plant ,
If
it do
evil in my
sight
, that
it
obey
not my voice, then I will
repent
of the good ,
wherewith
I
said
I would
benefit
them
.
And
it hath
done
the
evil thing
in Mine
eyes
, So
as
not to
hearken
to
My voice, Then I have
repented
of the good That
I have
spoken
of
doing
to
it
.
Now therefore
go
to
, speak to
the
men of Judah, and to
the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying ,
Thus saith
the
LORD;
Behold
, I frame
evil
against you, and devise
a device against
you :
return
ye
now
every
one
from his evil way ,
and make
your ways and your doings good
.
And
now, speak ,
I
pray
thee,
unto
men of Judah, And against
inhabitants of Jerusalem, Saying :
Thus said
Jehovah:
Lo
, I am
framing
against you evil
, And devising
against
you
a device ,
Turn
back,
I
pray
you ,
each
from his evil way And amen
your ways and your doings.
And they said, There
is no
hope:
but
we
will
walk
after our own devices ,
and
we will
every
one
do the imagination
of his evil heart.
And they have
said, It
is incurable,
For
after our own devices we do go,
And
each
the stubbornness
of his evil heart we
do
.
Therefore thus saith
the
LORD;
Ask ye
now
among the heathen
, who hath heard such
things:
the virgin of Israel hath
done a
very
horrible
thing
.
Therefore ,
thus said
Jehovah:
Ask ,
I
pray
you,
among the nations
, Who hath heard like
these?
A
very
horrible
thing
hath
the virgin of Israel done.
Will
a
man
leave
the
snow of Lebanon which
cometh
from the rock of the field? or
shall
the cold flowing
waters that come
from
another
place
be
forsaken
?
Doth
snow of Lebanon Cease
from the rock of the field? Failed
are
the cold strange
waters that flow
?
Because
my people hath
forgotten me, they
have
burned
incense
to vanity
, and they have
caused
them to stumble in their ways from
the
ancient
paths, to walk in paths ,
in
a way not cast
up ;
But
My people have
forgotten Me, to a
vain
thing
they
make
perfume
, And they cause
them to stumble in their ways --
paths of
old
, To walk in paths --
a way not raised
up ,
To make their land desolate
, and
a perpetual
hissing ;
every one
that
passeth
thereby
shall
be
astonished, and wag
his head.
To make their land become
a
desolation
, A hissing age-during,
Every passer
by
it
is
astonished, And bemoaneth
with
his head.
I
will
scatter
them
as with
an east wind before
the
enemy;
I will
shew
them the back
, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
As an east wind I scatter
them before
an
enemy,
The neck
, and not the face, I
shew
them,
In the day of their calamity. '
Then
said
they, Come and let
us
devise devices
against Jeremiah ;
for the
law shall
not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet .
Come, and let
us
smite him with the tongue, and let
us
not give
heed
to any of his words.
And
they say
, Come ,
And we
devise against Jeremiah devices,
For law doth
not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet ,
Come, and we
smite him with the tongue, And we
do
not attend
to any of his words.
Give heed
to
me
, O LORD
, and hearken to the voice of them
that
contend
with me.
Give attention
, O Jehovah
, unto
me,
And hearken to the voice of those
contending
with me.
Shall
evil be
recompensed for
good ?
for
they have digged
a pit for my soul .
Remember that
I
stood
before thee to speak good for
them, and
to turn away
thy wrath from them.
Is
evil recompensed instead
of
good ,
That
they have dug
a pit for my soul ?
Remember my
standing
before Thee to speak good of
them, To turn back
Thy wrath from them.
Therefore deliver
up their children
to the
famine, and pour
out
their
blood
by
the force
of the sword ;
and let
their wives be
bereaved of
their
children,
and be
widows ;
and let
their men be
put
to
death ;
let
their young men be
slain
by the
sword in battle .
Therefore ,
give
up their sons
to famine, And cause
them
to
run
on
the sides
of the sword ,
And their wives are
bereaved and widows ,
And their men are
slain
by
death ,
Their young men smitten
by sword in battle ,
Let
a cry be
heard from their houses, when
thou shalt
bring
a troop suddenly
upon
them:
for they have
digged
a pit to take
me, and hid
snares for my feet.
A cry is
heard from their houses, For
Thou bringest
against
them
suddenly
a troop ,
For they dug
a pit to capture
me, And snares they
have
hidden
for my feet.
Yet
, LORD
, thou knowest
all their counsel against me to
slay
me:
forgive
not their iniquity, neither
blot
out
their sin from thy
sight
, but
let
them
be
overthrown
before thee ;
deal
thus
with
them
in the time of thine anger .
And
Thou
, O
Jehovah
, Thou hast
known,
All their counsel against me `is'
for
death,
Thou
dost
not cover
over
their iniquity, Nor
their sin from before
Thee
blottest
out
, And
they
are
made
to
stumble
before Thee ,
In the time of Thine anger work
against
them!
