JER 15:2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
JER 15:3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
JER 15:4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
JER 15:5 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
JER 15:6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
JER 15:7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.
JER 15:8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
JER 15:9 She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.
JER 15:10 Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.
JER 15:11 The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
JER 15:12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
JER 15:13 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
JER 15:14 And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.
JER 15:15 O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
JER 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
JER 15:17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.
JER 15:18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
JER 15:19 Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
JER 15:20 And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
JER 15:21 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
JER 16:1 The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying,
JER 16:2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.
JER 16:3 For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;
JER 16:4 They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
JER 16:5 For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even lovingkindness and mercies.
JER 16:6 Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:
JER 16:7 Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
JER 16:8 Thou shalt not also go into the
house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
JER 16:9 For thus saith the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your
eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the
voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
JER 16:10 And it shall come to pass, when
thou shalt show this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee,
Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what
is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD
our God?
JER 16:11 Then shalt thou say unto them,
Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after
other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have
forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
JER 16:12 And ye have done worse than your
fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil
heart, that they may not hearken unto me:
JER 16:13 Therefore will I cast you out of
this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and
there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not show you
favour.
JER 16:14 Therefore, behold, the days come,
saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought
up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
JER 16:15 But, The LORD liveth, that brought
up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands
whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that
I gave unto their fathers.
JER 16:16 Behold, I will send for many
fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for
many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every
hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
JER 16:17 For mine eyes are upon all their
ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine
eyes.
JER 16:18 And first I will recompense their
iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have
filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable
things.
JER 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my
fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come
unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have
inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
JER 16:20 Shall a man make gods unto himself,
and they are no gods?
JER 16:21 Therefore, behold, I will this once
cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and
they shall know that my name is The LORD.
JER 17:1 The sin of Judah is written with a
pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of
their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
JER 17:2 Whilst their children remember their
altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
JER 17:3 O my mountain in the field, I will
give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places
for sin, throughout all thy borders.
JER 17:4 And thou, even thyself, shalt
discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to
serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled
a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.
JER 17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the
man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart
departeth from the LORD.
JER 17:6 For he shall be like the heath in
the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the
parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
JER 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in
the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
JER 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by
the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see
when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in
the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
JER 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all
things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
JER 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try
the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to
the fruit of his doings.
JER 17:11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs,
and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall
leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
JER 17:12 A glorious high throne from the
beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
JER 17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all
that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be
written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of
living waters.
JER 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be
healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
JER 17:15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is
the word of the LORD? let it come now.
JER 17:16 As for me, I have not hastened from
being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou
knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.
JER 17:17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art
my hope in the day of evil.
JER 17:18 Let them be confounded that
persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let
not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with
double destruction.
JER 17:19 Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and
stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah
come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
JER 17:20 And say unto them, Hear ye the word
of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
JER 17:21 Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to
yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the
gates of Jerusalem;
JER 17:22 Neither carry forth a burden out of
your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the
sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
JER 17:23 But they obeyed not, neither
inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor
receive instruction.
JER 17:24 And it shall come to pass, if ye
diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through
the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do
no work therein;
JER 17:25 Then shall there enter into the
gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David,
riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah,
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
JER 17:26 And they shall come from the cities
of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of
Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south,
bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense,
and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.
JER 17:27 But if ye will not hearken unto me
to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the
gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the
gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall
not be quenched.
JER 18:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from
the LORD, saying,
JER 18:2 Arise, and go down to the potter's
house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
JER 18:3 Then I went down to the potter's
house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
JER 18:4 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.
JER 18:5 Then the word of the LORD came to
me, saying,
JER 18:6 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.
JER 18:7 At what instant I shall speak
concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull
down, and to destroy it;
JER 18:8 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.
JER 18:9 And at what instant I shall speak
concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
JER 18:10 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.
JER 18:11 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.
JER 18:12 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.
JER 18:13 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.
JER 18:14 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?
JER 18:15 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;
JER 18:16 To make their land desolate, and a
perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and
wag his head.
JER 18:17 I will scatter them as with an east
wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the
day of their calamity.
JER 18:18 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.
JER 18:19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and
hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
JER 18:20 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.
JER 18:21 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.
JER 18:22 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.
JER 18:23 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.
JER 19:1 Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a
potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the
ancients of the priests;
JER 19:2 And go forth unto the valley of the
son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there
the words that I shall tell thee,
JER 19:3 And say, Hear ye the word of the
LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the
which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
JER 19:4 Because they have forsaken me, and
have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods,
whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and
have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
JER 19:5 They have built also the high places
of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I
commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
JER 19:6 Therefore, behold, the days come,
saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The
valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
JER 19:7 And I will make void the counsel of
Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the
sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives:
and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and
for the beasts of the earth.
JER 19:8 And I will make this city desolate,
and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss
because of all the plagues thereof.
JER 19:9 And I will cause them to eat the
flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat
every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith
their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
JER 19:10 Then shalt thou break the bottle in
the sight of the men that go with thee.
JER 19:11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith
the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one
breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall
bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.
JER 19:12 Thus will I do unto this place,
saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as
Tophet:
JER 19:13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and
the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet,
because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all
the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
JER 19:14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet,
whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the
LORD'S house; and said to all the people,
JER 19:15 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the
God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns
all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened
their necks, that they might not hear my words.
JER 20:1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the
priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that
Jeremiah prophesied these things.
