Young's Literal Translation
This
is
the word that came
to
Jeremiah from the
LORD
, saying,
The word that hath
been
unto
Jeremiah from Jehovah
, saying,
“
Stand in the gate of the house of the
LORD
and proclaim
this message:
Hear the
word of the
LORD
, all you
people
of Judah who enter
through
these gates to worship
the
LORD.
Stand in the gate of the house of Jehovah,
and thou
hast
proclaimed
there
this word,
and
hast
said,
Hear a
word of Jehovah
, all ye
of Judah ,
who are
coming
in
at
these gates ,
to bow
before
Jehovah:
Thus says
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel :
Correct
your ways and deeds
, and I will
let
you live
in this place.
Thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel ,
Amend
your ways ,
and your
doings
, And I cause
you to
dwell
in this place.
Do not trust in
deceptive
words, chanting:
‘This
is
the temple of the
LORD
, the temple of the
LORD
, the temple of the
LORD.’
Do not trust for
yourselves
Unto
the
words of
falsehood
, saying,
The temple of Jehovah
, the temple of Jehovah
, The temple of Jehovah
`are'
they!
For if you
really
correct
your ways and deeds
, if you
act
justly
toward
one
another
,
For ,
if ye
do
thoroughly
amend
your ways and your
doings
, If ye
do
judgment
thoroughly
Between
a
man
and
his
neighbour
,
if
you
no
longer
oppress
the
foreigner
and
the
fatherless and the
widow, and if
you
no
longer
shed
innocent blood in this place or
follow
other gods to your
own
harm
,
Sojourner,
fatherless ,
and widow, ye
oppress
not,
And innocent blood do
not
shed
in this place ,
And
after
other gods do
not
walk,
for
evil
to yourselves
,
then I will
let
you live
in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever
and
ever
.
Then I have
caused
you to
dwell
in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers ,
From
age
even
unto
age
.
But
look
, you
keep
trusting in
deceptive
words to no
avail
.
Lo
, ye
are
trusting for
yourselves
On
the
words of
falsehood,
so
as
not
to profit
.
Will
you
steal
and
murder
, commit
adultery and perjury
, burn
incense
to Baal, and follow
other gods that
you
have
not known,
Stealing
, murdering,
and
committing
adultery ,
And swearing
to
falsehood
, and
giving
perfume
to Baal, And going
after
other gods whom
ye
knew
not .
and then
come and stand
before Me in this house ,
which bears
My Name, and say
, ‘
We are
delivered, so
we
can
continue
with
all these abominations ’?
And ye
have
come in
and stood
before Me ,
In this house on
which My name is
called
, And have
said
, `
We have
been
delivered, '
In
order
to
do
all these abominations .
Has
this house, which bears
My Name, become
a
den
of
robbers
in your sight
? Yes
, I too
have seen it
, declares
the
LORD
.
A
den
of
burglars
hath
this house, On
which My name is
called
, been
in your eyes
? Even
I
, lo,
I have seen, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
But go now
to
the
place in Shiloh where I first
made
a
dwelling
for
My Name, and see what
I did
to it because
of
the wickedness of My people Israel.
But go ye,
I
pray
you,
Unto
My
place that
`is'
in Shiloh ,
Where I caused
My name to
dwell
at
first
, And see that
which
I have
done
to it ,
For
the wickedness of My people Israel.
And now, because you
have
done
all these things
, declares
the
LORD
, and because
I have
spoken
to
you again
and again
but
you
would
not listen
, and I have
called
to
you
but
you would
not answer
,
And now, because of
your
doing
all these works
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And I speak
unto
you ,
rising
early
and speaking,
And
ye
have
not hearkened
, And I call
you ,
and
ye
have
not answered
,
therefore
what
I did
to
Shiloh
I
will
now
do
to the house that
bears
My Name, the
house
in which you
trust
, the place that I gave to you and your fathers.
I also
to the house on
which
My name is
called
, In which ye
are
trusting
, And
to
the place that I gave to you ,
and to
your fathers ,
Have
done,
as
I
have
done
to
Shiloh
.
And I will
cast you out
of
My presence
, just
as I have cast out all your brothers
, all
the descendants
of Ephraim.
And I have
cast you from
before
My face
, As I have cast out all your brethren
, The whole
seed
of Ephraim.
As
for
you,
do
not pray for these
people, do
not
offer
a
plea
or
petition
on
their
behalf,
and do
not
beg
Me, for I will
not listen
to
you
.
And
thou
dost
not pray for this
people, Nor
lift
up
for
them
crying
and prayer,
Nor
intercede
with
Me, for I hear
thee
not.
Do
you
not see
what they are doing in the
cities of Judah and in the
streets of Jerusalem?
Art
thou
not seeing
what they are doing In cities of Judah ,
and in streets of Jerusalem?
The sons gather
wood, the fathers light
the fire, and the women knead
the
dough to make cakes for
the Queen of Heaven;
they
pour out drink
offerings
to other gods to provoke Me to anger.
The sons are
gathering
wood, And
the fathers are
causing
the fire to
burn
, And the women are
kneading
dough ,
To make cakes to
the queen of the
heavens,
And
to
pour out libations
to other gods ,
So
as
to provoke Me to anger.
But
am
I
the
One
they
are provoking? declares
the
LORD.
Is it not themselves they
spite
, to
their own shame
?
Me
are they
provoking to
anger
? an
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
Is it not themselves, For
the
shame
of
their own faces
?
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says:
Behold
, My
anger and My fury will
be
poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the
trees
of the field and the
produce
of the land
, and it will
burn
and not be
extinguished
.
Therefore ,
thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
, Lo,
Mine
anger and My fury is
poured out on this place, On man ,
and beast, and
on tree
of the field ,
And on
fruit
of the ground
, And it hath
burned,
and it
is
not quenched
.
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel, says:
Add
your burnt offerings to your other
sacrifices and eat the
meat
yourselves!
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, Your burnt -
offerings add
to your sacrifices ,
And eat ye
flesh.
For when
I brought
your fathers out of the land of Egypt, I
did
not
merely
command
them
about
burnt offerings
and sacrifices
,
For I did
not
speak
with
your fathers ,
Nor
did
I
command
them
in
the
day
of
My
bringing
them
out of the land of Egypt, Concerning
the
matters
of
burnt -offering
and sacrifice
,
but this is
what
I commanded them: Obey
Me
, and I will
be
your
God, and you
will
be
My
people .
You
must
walk
in all the ways
I have
commanded
you, so that it may
go
well with
you.
But this thing
I commanded them ,
saying
: Hearken
to
My
voice
, And I have
been
to
you
for
God, And ye
--
ye
are
to
Me
for
a
people ,
And
have
walked
in all the way
that
I command
you, So that it is
well for
you.
Yet
they did
not listen
or
incline
their ear, but
they followed
the stubborn
inclinations
of their own
evil hearts.
They
went
backward and not forward.
And
they have
not hearkened,
nor
inclined
their ear, And
they walk
in
the counsels,
In
the
stubbornness,
of their evil heart,
And
are
for
backward ,
and not for
forward.
From the day your fathers came
out of the land of Egypt until
this day, I have
sent
you all My servants the prophets again
and again.
Even
from the day when
your fathers Went
out of the land of Egypt till
this day, I send
to
you all my servants the prophets ,
Daily
rising
early
and sending,
Yet
they would
not listen
to
Me or
incline
their ear, but
they
stiffened
their
necks
and did
more
evil than
their fathers.
And
they have
not hearkened
unto
Me ,
Nor
inclined
their ear, and harden
their
neck,
They
have
done
evil above
their fathers.
When
you
tell
them all these things
, they will
not listen
to
you.
When
you
call
to them, they will
not answer.
And
thou
hast
spoken
unto
them all these words
, And
they do
not hearken
to thee,
And
thou
hast
called
unto
them, And
they do
not answer thee
.
Therefore
you
must
say
to
them ,
‘
This is the nation that would
not listen
to the voice of the
LORD
their
God and
would
not
receive
correction.
Truth
has
perished ;
it has
disappeared
from their lips
.
And
thou
hast
said
unto
them :
This `
is '
the nation that hath
not hearkened,
To the voice of Jehovah
its
God ,
Nor
have
they
accepted
instruction,
Perished hath
stedfastness,
Yea,
it hath
been
cut
off
from their mouth
.
Cut off your
hair
and throw
it away .
Raise
up a
lamentation
on the
barren
heights
, for the
LORD
has
rejected and forsaken
the generation of His wrath. ’
Cut off thy
crown,
and cast
`
it '
away ,
And
lift
up on high
places
lamentation
, For Jehovah
hath
rejected ,
And He
leaveth
the generation of His wrath.
For the people
of Judah have done evil in My
sight
, declares
the
LORD.
They have set up
their abominations in the house that
bears
My Name ,
and
so
have
defiled
it .
For the sons
of Judah Have done the
evil thing
in Mine
eyes
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
They have set their abominations in the house On
which
My name is
called
--
to
defile
it ,
They
have built the high places of Topheth
in the Valley of Hinnom so
they
could
burn their sons and daughters in
the
fire —something
I never
commanded
, nor did it even
enter
My mind
.
And
have built the high places of Tophet,
That
`are'
in the valley of the
son
of
Hinnom ,
To
burn their sons and their
daughters with
fire ,
Which
I did
not
command
, Nor did it come
up
on
My heart
.
So
behold
, the
days are coming, declares
the
LORD
, when
this
place
will
no
longer
be
called
Topheth
and the Valley of Hinnom, but the
Valley of Slaughter .
For
they will
bury
the
dead
in Topheth
until
there
is
no
more
room
.
Therefore
, lo,
days are coming, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And it
is
not
said
any
more,
`
The Tophet,'
And
`
Valley of the
son
of
Hinnom, '
But `
Valley of the
slaughter ,'
And
they have
buried
in Tophet
--
without
place
.
The corpses
of this people will
become
food
for the
birds
of the air
and the
beasts
of the earth, and there will
be
no
one
to
scare
them
away
.
And
the carcase
of this people hath
been
for food
To
a
fowl
of the heavens,
and to
a
beast
of the earth, And there is
none
troubling
.
I will
remove
from the
cities of Judah and the
streets of Jerusalem the sounds
of joy and gladness and the
voices
of the
bride and
bridegroom
, for the land will
become a wasteland.”
And
I have
caused
to
cease
from cities of Judah ,
And from
streets of Jerusalem ,
The voice
of joy ,
and the
voice
of
gladness ,
Voice
of
bridegroom,
and voice
of bride, For the land doth
become a desolation!
