1 # The word <01697> that came to Jeremiah <03414> from the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Stand <05975> (8798) in the gate <08179> of the LORD'S <03068> house <01004>, and proclaim <07121> (8804) there this word <01697>, and say <0559> (8804), Hear <08085> (8798) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> , all ye of Judah <03063>, that enter in <0935> (8802) at these gates <08179> to worship <07812> (8692) the LORD <03068>.
3 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, Amend <03190> (8685) your ways <01870> and your doings <04611>, and I will cause you to dwell <07931> (8762) in this place <04725>.
4 Trust <0982> (8799) ye not in lying <08267> words <01697>, saying <0559> (8800), The temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>, The temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>, The temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>, are these.
5 For if ye throughly <03190> (8687) amend <03190> (8686) your ways <01870> and your doings <04611> ; if ye throughly <06213> (8800) execute <06213> (8799) judgment <04941> between a man <0376> and his neighbour <07453> ;
6 If ye oppress <06231> (8799) not the stranger <01616>, the fatherless <03490>, and the widow <0490>, and shed <08210> (8799) not innocent <05355> blood <01818> in this place <04725>, neither walk <03212> (8799) after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430> to your hurt <07451>:
7 Then will I cause you to dwell <07931> (8765) in this place <04725>, in the land <0776> that I gave <05414> (8804) to your fathers <01>, for <05704> ever <05769> and ever <05769>.
8 Behold, ye trust <0982> (8802) in lying <08267> words <01697>, that cannot profit <03276> (8687).
9 Will ye steal <01589> (8800), murder <07523> (8800), and commit adultery <05003> (8800), and swear <07650> (8736) falsely <08267>, and burn incense <06999> (8763) unto Baal <01168>, and walk <01980> (8800) after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430> whom ye know <03045> (8804) not;
10 And come <0935> (8804) and stand <05975> (8804) before <06440> me in this house <01004>, which is called <07121> (8738) by my name <08034>, and say <0559> (8804), We are delivered <05337> (8738) to do <06213> (8800) all these abominations <08441>?
11 Is this house <01004>, which is called <07121> (8738) by my name <08034>, become a den <04631> of robbers <06530> in your eyes <05869>? Behold, even I have seen <07200> (8804) it, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> .
12 But go <03212> (8798) ye now unto my place <04725> which was in Shiloh <07887>, where I set <07931> (8765) my name <08034> at the first <07223>, and see <07200> (8798) what I did <06213> (8804) to it for <06440> the wickedness <07451> of my people <05971> Israel <03478>.
13 And now, because ye have done <06213> (8800) all these works <04639>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> , and I spake <01696> (8762) unto you, rising up early <07925> (8687) and speaking <01696> (8763), but ye heard <08085> (8804) not; and I called <07121> (8799) you, but ye answered <06030> (8804) not;
14 Therefore will I do <06213> (8804) unto this house <01004>, which is called <07121> (8738) by my name <08034>, wherein ye trust <0982> (8802), and unto the place <04725> which I gave <05414> (8804) to you and to your fathers <01>, as I have done <06213> (8804) to Shiloh <07887>.
15 And I will cast you out <07993> (8689) of my sight <06440>, as I have cast out <07993> (8689) all your brethren <0251>, even the whole seed <02233> of Ephraim <0669>.
16 # Therefore pray <06419> (8691) not thou for this people <05971>, neither lift up <05375> (8799) cry <07440> nor prayer <08605> for them <01157>, neither make intercession <06293> (8799) to me: for I will not hear <08085> (8802) thee.

17 Seest <07200> (8802) thou not what they do <06213> (8802) in the cities <05892> of Judah <03063> and in the streets <02351> of Jerusalem <03389>?
18 The children <01121> gather <03950> (8764) wood <06086>, and the fathers <01> kindle <01197> (8764) the fire <0784>, and the women <0802> knead <03888> (8802) their dough <01217>, to make <06213> (8800) cakes <03561> to the queen <04446> of heaven <08064>, and to pour out <05258> (8687) drink offerings <05262> unto other <0312> gods <0430>, that they may provoke me to anger <03707> (8687).
19 Do they provoke me to anger <03707> (8688)? saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion <01322> of their own faces <06440>?
20 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Behold, mine anger <0639> and my fury <02534> shall be poured out <05413> (8737) upon this place <04725>, upon man <0120>, and upon beast <0929>, and upon the trees <06086> of the field <07704>, and upon the fruit <06529> of the ground <0127>; and it shall burn <01197> (8804), and shall not be quenched <03518> (8799).
21 # Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; Put <05595> (8798) your burnt offerings <05930> unto your sacrifices <02077>, and eat <0398> (8798) flesh <01320>.
22 For I spake <01696> (8765) not unto your fathers <01>, nor commanded <06680> (8765) them in the day <03117> that I brought them out <03318> (8687) of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, concerning <01697> burnt offerings <05930> or sacrifices <02077>:
23 But this thing <01697> commanded <06680> (8765) I them, saying <0559> (8800), Obey <08085> (8798) my voice <06963>, and I will be your God <0430>, and ye shall be my people <05971>: and walk <01980> (8804) ye in all the ways <01870> that I have commanded <06680> (8762) you, that it may be well <03190> (8799) unto you.
24 But they hearkened <08085> (8804) not, nor inclined <05186> (8689) their ear <0241>, but walked <03212> (8799) in the counsels <04156> and in the imagination <08307> of their evil <07451> heart <03820>, and went backward <0268>, and not forward <06440>.
25 Since the day <03117> that your fathers <01> came forth out <03318> (8804) of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> unto this day <03117> I have even sent <07971> (8799) unto you all my servants <05650> the prophets <05030>, daily <03117> rising up early <07925> (8687) and sending <07971> (8800) them:
26 Yet they hearkened <08085> (8804) not unto me, nor inclined <05186> (8689) their ear <0241>, but hardened <07185> (8686) their neck <06203>: they did worse <07489> (8689) than their fathers <01>.
27 Therefore thou shalt speak <01696> (8765) all these words <01697> unto them; but they will not hearken <08085> (8799) to thee: thou shalt also call <07121> (8804) unto them; but they will not answer <06030> (8799) thee.
28 But thou shalt say <0559> (8804) unto them, This is a nation <01471> that obeyeth <08085> (8804) not the voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> their God <0430>, nor receiveth <03947> (8804) correction <04148>: truth <0530> is perished <06> (8804), and is cut off <03772> (8738) from their mouth <06310>.
29 # Cut off <01494> (8798) thine hair <05145>, O Jerusalem, and cast it away <07993> (8685), and take up <05375> (8798) a lamentation <07015> on high places <08205>; for the LORD <03068> hath rejected <03988> (8804) and forsaken <05203> (8799) the generation <01755> of his wrath <05678>.
30 For the children <01121> of Judah <03063> have done <06213> (8804) evil <07451> in my sight <05869> , saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>: they have set <07760> (8804) their abominations <08251> in the house <01004> which is called <07121> (8738) by my name <08034>, to pollute <02930> (8763) it.
31 And they have built <01129> (8804) the high places <01116> of Tophet <08612>, which is in the valley <01516> of the son <01121> of Hinnom <02011>, to burn <08313> (8800) their sons <01121> and their daughters <01323> in the fire <0784>; which I commanded <06680> (8765) them not, neither came <05927> (8804) it into my heart <03820>.
32 Therefore, behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that it shall no more be called <0559> (8735) Tophet <08612>, nor the valley <01516> of the son <01121> of Hinnom <02011>, but the valley <01516> of slaughter <02028>: for they shall bury <06912> (8804) in Tophet <08612>, till there be no <0369> place <04725>.
33 And the carcases <05038> of this people <05971> shall be meat <03978> for the fowls <05775> of the heaven <08064> , and for the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776>; and none shall fray them away <02729> (8688).
34 Then will I cause to cease <07673> (8689) from the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and from the streets <02351> of Jerusalem <03389>, the voice <06963> of mirth <08342>, and the voice <06963> of gladness <08057>, the voice <06963> of the bridegroom <02860>, and the voice <06963> of the bride <03618>: for the land <0776> shall be desolate <02723>.
