LORD
, saying,
The word that hath
been
unto
Jeremiah from Jehovah
, saying,
Stand in the gate of the LORD's
house, and proclaim
there this word, and say
, Hear the
word of the
LORD
, all ye of Judah, that
enter
in at 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 saith
the
LORD
of hosts, the
God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will
cause you to dwell 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.
Trust
ye
not in
lying
words, saying, The temple of the
LORD
, The temple of the
LORD
, The temple of the
LORD,
are these.
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 ye throughly
amend your ways and your doings ;
if ye throughly
execute
judgment between a man and his neighbour ;
For ,
if ye do
thoroughly
amend your ways and your doings ,
If ye do
judgment thoroughly
Between a man and his neighbour ,
If
ye
oppress
not
the
stranger
, the
fatherless, and the
widow, and
shed
not innocent blood in this place, neither
walk
after other gods to your
hurt:
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 will
I cause
you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for
ever
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
.
Behold
, ye trust
in
lying
words, that
cannot
profit.
Lo
, ye are
trusting
for
yourselves
On
the
words of
falsehood
, so
as
not
to
profit.
Will
ye
steal
, murder
, and commit
adultery, and swear
falsely
, and burn
incense
unto
Baal, and walk
after other gods whom ye know
not ;
Stealing
, murdering
, and committing
adultery, And swearing
to
falsehood
, and giving
perfume
to
Baal, And going
after other gods whom ye knew
not .
And come and stand
before me in this house ,
which is
called
by
my name, and say
, We are
delivered to do 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 .
Is
this house, which is
called
by
my name, become
a
den
of
robbers
in your eyes? Behold,
even I have seen it
, saith
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 ye now
unto my place which
was
in Shiloh, where I set
my name at the
first, and see what
I did
to it for 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 ye
have
done
all these works, saith
the
LORD
, and I spake
unto you, rising up
early and speaking, but
ye heard
not ;
and I called
you, but
ye answered
not ;
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
will
I do
unto
this
house ,
which is
called
by
my name, wherein
ye trust
, and unto
the place which
I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
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 sight
, as I have cast out all your brethren, even
the whole seed of Ephraim.
And I have
cast you from
before
My face
, As I have cast out all your brethren, The whole seed of Ephraim.
Therefore
pray
not
thou for this people, neither
lift up cry
nor
prayer
for them, neither
make
intercession
to
me :
for I will
not
hear thee.
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
.
Seest
thou not what they do
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 children
gather
wood, and the fathers kindle
the fire, and the women knead
their
dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven
, and to pour out drink
offerings
unto
other gods, that
they
may
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.
Do
they
provoke
me to anger? saith
the
LORD:
do
they
not provoke
themselves to
the confusion
of their own faces?
Me are
they
provoking
to anger? an
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
Is
it
not themselves ,
For
the shame
of their own faces?
Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Behold
, mine anger and my fury shall
be
poured out upon
this place, upon
man, and upon
beast, and upon
the
trees
of the field, and upon
the
fruit of the ground ;
and it shall
burn
, and shall
not be
quenched.
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.
Thus saith
the
LORD
of hosts, the
God of Israel ;
Put
your burnt offerings unto
your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
Thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel ,
Your burnt -
offerings add
to
your sacrifices, And eat ye
flesh.
For I spake
not unto
your fathers, nor commanded
them in the day that
I
brought
them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings
or
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 thing commanded
I them, saying ,
Obey
my voice, and I will
be
your
God, and ye shall
be
my
people :
and walk
ye
in all the ways
that I have
commanded
you, that it may
be
well unto
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.
But
they hearkened
not, nor inclined their ear, but
walked
in the counsels and
in the imagination
of their evil heart, and 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.
Since
the day that
your fathers came
forth
out of the land of Egypt unto
this day I have
even
sent
unto
you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up
early and sending them:
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 hearkened
not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but
hardened
their neck :
they did
worse
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.
Therefore
thou shalt
speak
all these words unto
them;
but
they will
not hearken to thee :
thou shalt
also
call
unto them ;
but
they will
not answer thee.
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.
But
thou shalt
say
unto them ,
This is a
nation that obeyeth
not the voice of the
LORD
their
God, nor receiveth
correction:
truth
is
perished, and
is
cut off from their mouth.
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 thine
hair,
O
Jerusalem
, and cast it away, and take
up a
lamentation
on high places ;
for the
LORD
hath 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 children
of Judah have done evil in my
sight
, saith
the
LORD:
they have set their abominations in the house which is
called
by
my name ,
to pollute
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 ,
And they
have built the high places of Tophet, which
is
in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in
the
fire ;
which I commanded
them
not, neither
came
it into
my heart.
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.
Therefore, behold
, the
days come
, saith
the
LORD
, that
it shall
no
more be
called
Tophet
, nor
the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the
valley of slaughter :
for
they shall
bury
in Tophet ,
till
there
be
no
place.
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.
And the carcases
of this people shall
be
meat
for the
fowls
of the heaven
, and for
the
beasts
of the earth ;
and none shall
fray
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
.
Then
will
I cause
to cease from the
cities of Judah, and from the
streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth
, and the voice of gladness, the
voice of the
bridegroom, and the
voice of the
bride :
for the land shall
be
desolate.
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!
