1 # The word <01697> that came to Jeremiah <03414> from the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Hear <08085> (8798) ye the words <01697> of this covenant <01285>, and speak <01696> (8765) unto the men <0376> of Judah <03063>, and to the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>;
3 And say <0559> (8804) thou unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>; Cursed <0779> (8803) be the man <0376> that obeyeth <08085> (8799) not the words <01697> of this covenant <01285>,
4 Which I commanded <06680> (8765) your fathers <01> in the day <03117> that I brought them forth <03318> (8687) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, from the iron <01270> furnace <03564>, saying <0559> (8800), Obey <08085> (8798) my voice <06963>, and do <06213> (8804) them, according to all which I command <06680> (8762) you: so shall ye be my people <05971>, and I will be your God <0430>:
5 That I may perform <06965> (8687) the oath <07621> which I have sworn <07650> (8738) unto your fathers <01>, to give <05414> (8800) them a land <0776> flowing <02100> (8802) with milk <02461> and honey <01706>, as it is this day <03117>. Then answered <06030> (8799) I, and said <0559> (8799), So be it <0543>, O LORD <03068> .
6 Then the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto me, Proclaim <07121> (8798) all these words <01697> in the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and in the streets <02351> of Jerusalem <03389>, saying <0559> (8800), Hear <08085> (8798) ye the words <01697> of this covenant <01285>, and do <06213> (8804) them.
7 For I earnestly <05749> (8687) protested <05749> (8689) unto your fathers <01> in the day <03117> that I brought them up <05927> (8687) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, even unto this day <03117>, rising early <07925> (8687) and protesting <05749> (8687), saying <0559> (8800), Obey <08085> (8798) my voice <06963>.
8 Yet they obeyed <08085> (8804) not, nor inclined <05186> (8689) their ear <0241>, but walked <03212> (8799) every one <0376> in the imagination <08307> of their evil <07451> heart <03820>: therefore I will bring <0935> (8686) upon them all the words <01697> of this covenant <01285>, which I commanded <06680> (8765) them to do <06213> (8800); but they did <06213> (8804) them not.
9 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto me, A conspiracy <07195> is found <04672> (8738) among the men <0376> of Judah <03063>, and among the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>.
10 They are turned back <07725> (8804) to the iniquities <05771> of their forefathers <07223> <01>, which refused <03985> (8765) to hear <08085> (8800) my words <01697>; and they went <01980> (8804) after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430> to serve <05647> (8800) them: the house <01004> of Israel <03478> and the house <01004> of Judah <03063> have broken <06565> (8689) my covenant <01285> which I made <03772> (8804) with their fathers <01>.
11 # Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Behold, I will bring <0935> (8688) evil <07451> upon them, which they shall not be able <03201> (8799) to escape <03318> (8800); and though they shall cry <02199> (8804) unto me, I will not hearken <08085> (8799) unto them.
12 Then shall the cities <05892> of Judah <03063> and inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389> go <01980> (8804), and cry <02199> (8804) unto the gods <0430> unto whom they offer incense <06999> (8764): but they shall not save <03467> (8686) them at all <03467> (8687) in the time <06256> of their trouble <07451>.
13 For according to the number <04557> of thy cities <05892> were thy gods <0430>, O Judah <03063>; and according to the number <04557> of the streets <02351> of Jerusalem <03389> have ye set up <07760> (8804) altars <04196> to that shameful thing <01322>, even altars <04196> to burn incense <06999> (8763) unto Baal <01168>.
14 Therefore pray <06419> (8691) not thou for this people <05971>, neither lift up <05375> (8799) a cry <07440> or prayer <08605> for them: for I will not hear <08085> (8802) them in the time <06256> that they cry <07121> (8800) unto me for their trouble <07451>.
15 What hath my beloved <03039> to do in mine house <01004>, seeing she hath wrought <06213> (8800) lewdness <04209> with many <07227>, and the holy <06944> flesh <01320> is passed <05674> (8799) from thee? when thou doest evil <07451> , then thou rejoicest <05937> (8799).
16 The LORD <03068> called <07121> (8804) thy name <08034>, A green <07488> olive tree <02132>, fair <03303>, and of goodly <08389> fruit <06529>: with the noise <06963> of a great <01419> tumult <01999> he hath kindled <03341> (8689) fire <0784> upon it, and the branches <01808> of it are broken <07489> (8804).
17 For the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, that planted <05193> (8802) thee, hath pronounced <01696> (8765) evil <07451> against thee, for <01558> the evil <07451> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478> and of the house <01004> of Judah <03063>, which they have done <06213> (8804) against themselves to provoke me to anger <03707> (8687) in offering incense <06999> (8763) unto Baal <01168>.
18 # And the LORD <03068> hath given me knowledge <03045> (8799) of it, and I know <03045> (8689) it : then thou shewedst <07200> (8689) me their doings <04611>.
19 But I was like a lamb <03532> or an ox <0441> that is brought <02986> (8714) to the slaughter <02873> (8800); and I knew <03045> (8804) not that they had devised <02803> (8804) devices <04284> against me, saying , Let us destroy <07843> (8686) the tree <06086> with the fruit <03899> thereof, and let us cut him off <03772> (8799) from the land <0776> of the living <02416>, that his name <08034> may be no more remembered <02142> (8735).
20 But, O LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, that judgest <08199> (8802) righteously <06664>, that triest <0974> (8802) the reins <03629> and the heart <03820>, let me see <07200> (8799) thy vengeance <05360> on them: for unto thee have I revealed <01540> (8765) my cause <07379>.
21 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of the men <0582> of Anathoth <06068>, that seek <01245> (8764) thy life <05315>, saying <0559> (8800), Prophesy <05012> (8735) not in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>, that thou die <04191> (8799) not by our hand <03027>:
22 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, Behold, I will punish <06485> (8802) them: the young men <0970> shall die <04191> (8799) by the sword <02719>; their sons <01121> and their daughters <01323> shall die <04191> (8799) by famine <07458>:
23 And there shall be no remnant <07611> of them: for I will bring <0935> (8686) evil <07451> upon the men <0582> of Anathoth <06068>, even the year <08141> of their visitation <06486>.
