: 1 . The words <1697 dabar > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the

son <1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah > , of the priests

<3548 kohen > that [ were ] in Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > in

the land <0776 >erets > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn > :

: 2 To whom <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > in the days <3117 yowm > of

Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Amon <0526

>Amown > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , in the

thirteenth year <8141 shaneh > of his reign <4427 malak > .

: 3 It came <1961 hayah > also in the days <3117 yowm > of

Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah

<2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,

unto the end <8537 tom > of the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > of

Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977

Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , unto

the carrying <1540 galah > away of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim

<2320 chodesh > .

: 4 . Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

came <1961 hayah > unto me , saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 5 Before <2962 terem > I formed <3335 yatsar > thee in the

belly <0990 beten > I knew <3045 yada< > thee ; and before

<2962 terem > thou camest <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >

out of the womb <7358 rechem > I sanctified <6942 qadash > thee ,

[ and ] I ordained <5414 nathan > thee a prophet <5030

nabiy> > unto the nations <1471 gowy > .

: 6 Then said <0559 >amar > I , Ah <0162 >ahahh > , Lord

<0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ! behold <2009 hinneh > ,

I cannot <3808 lo> > speak <1696 dabar > : for I [ am ] a

child <5288 na<ar > .

: 7 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,

Say <0559 >amar > not , I [ am ] a child <5288 na<ar > : for

thou shalt go <3212 yalak > to all <3605 kol > that I shall send

<7971 shalach > thee , and whatsoever I command <6680 tsavah >

thee thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > .

: 8 Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of their faces <6440 paniym > :

for I [ am ] with thee to deliver <5337 natsal > thee , saith

<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 9 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > put <7971 shalach > forth

<7971 shalach > his hand <3027 yad > , and touched <5060 naga<

> my mouth <6310 peh > . And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said

<0559 >amar > unto me , Behold <2009 hinneh > , I have put

<5414 nathan > my words <1697 dabar > in thy mouth <6310 peh > .

: 10 See <7200 ra>ah > , I have this <2088 zeh > day <3117

yowm > set <6485 paqad > thee over <5921 <al > the nations <1471

gowy > and over <5921 <al > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > , to

root <5428 nathash > out , and to pull <5422 nathats > down ,

and to destroy <6> , and to throw <2040 harac > down <2040

harac > , to build <1129 banah > , and to plant <5193 nata< > .

: 11 . Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me , saying <0559 >amar > ,

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > , what <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah

> thou ? And I said <0559 >amar > , I see <7200 ra>ah > a rod

<4731 maqqel > of an almond <8247 shaqed > tree .

: 12 Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me ,

Thou hast well <3190 yatab > seen <7200 ra>ah > : for I will

hasten <8245 shaqad > my word <1697 dabar > to perform <6213

<asah > it .

: 13 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

came <1961 hayah > unto me the second <8145 sheniy > time ,

saying <0559 >amar > , What <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah >

thou ? And I said <0559 >amar > , I see <7200 ra>ah > a

seething <5301 naphach > pot <5518 ciyr > ; and the face <6440

paniym > thereof [ is ] toward <6440 paniym > the north <6828

tsaphown > .

: 14 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,

Out of the north <6828 tsaphown > an evil <7451 ra< > shall

break <6605 pathach > forth upon all <3605 kol > the inhabitants

<3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets > .

: 15 For , lo <2009 hinneh > , I will call <7121 qara> > all

<3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the kingdoms

<4467 mamlakah > of the north <6828 tsaphown > , saith <5002

n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; and they shall come <0935

bow> > , and they shall set <5414 nathan > every <0376 >iysh >

one <0376 >iysh > his throne <3678 kicce> > at the entering

<6607 pethach > of the gates <8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389

Y@ruwshalaim > , and against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the

walls <2346 chowmah > thereof round <5439 cabiyb > about , and

against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

: 16 And I will utter <1696 dabar > my judgments <4941 mishpat

> against <5921 <al > them touching <5921 <al > all <3605 kol >

their wickedness <7451 ra< > , who have forsaken <5800 <azab >

me , and have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto

other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > , and worshipped

<7812 shachah > the works <4639 ma<aseh > of their own <0249

>ezrach > hands <3027 yad > .

: 17 Thou therefore gird <2296 chagar > up thy loins <4975

mothen > , and arise <6965 quwm > , and speak <1696 dabar >

unto them all <3605 kol > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee :

be not dismayed <2865 chathath > at their faces <6440 paniym > ,

lest <6435 pen > I confound <2865 chathath > thee before <6440

paniym > them .

: 18 For , behold <2009 hinneh > , I have made <5414 nathan >

thee this day <3117 yowm > a defenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892

<iyr > , and an iron <1270 barzel > pillar <5982 <ammuwd > ,

and brasen <5178 n@chosheth > walls <2346 chowmah > against

<5921 <al > the whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > , against

the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , against the

princes <8269 sar > thereof , against the priests <3548 kohen >

thereof , and against the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776

>erets > .

: 19 And they shall fight <3898 lacham > against <0413 >el >

thee ; but they shall not prevail <3201 yakol > against thee ;

for I [ am ] with thee , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > , to deliver <5337 natsal > thee .

: Jeremiah 2

: 1 . Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to me , saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Go <1980 halak > and cry <7121 qara> > in the ears <0241

thine espousals <3623 k@luwlah > , when thou wentest <3212

yalak > after <0310 >achar > me in the wilderness <4057 midbar >

, in a land <0776 >erets > [ that was ] not sown <2232 zara<

: 3 Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [ was ] holiness <6944 qodesh >

unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , [ and ] the firstfruits <7225

re>shiyth > of his increase <8393 t@buw>ah > : all <3605 kol >

that devour <0398 >akal > him shall offend <0816 >asham > ;

evil <7451 ra< > shall come <0935 bow> > upon them , saith

<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 4 Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > , O house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob

house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > :

: 5 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<1> found <4672 matsa> > in me , that they are gone far <7368

rachaq > from me , and have walked <3212 yalak > after <0310

>achar > vanity <1892 hebel > , and are become <1891 habal >

vain <1891 habal > ?

: 6 Neither <3808 lo> > said <0559 >amar > they , Where <0346

>ayeh > [ is ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that brought <5927

<alah > us up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714

Mitsrayim > , that led <3212 yalak > us through the wilderness

<4057 midbar > , through a land <0776 >erets > of deserts <6160

<arabah > and of pits <7745 shuwchah > , through a land <0776

>erets > of drought <6723 tsiyah > , and of the shadow <6757

tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth > , through a land <0776

<abar > through , and where <8033 sham > no <3808 lo> > man

<0120 >adam > dwelt <3427 yashab > ?

: 7 And I brought <0935 bow> > you into <0413 >el > a plentiful

<3759 karmel > country <0776 >erets > , to eat <0398 >akal >

the fruit <6529 p@riy > thereof and the goodness <2898 tuwb >

thereof ; but when ye entered <0935 bow> > , ye defiled <2930

tame> > my land <0776 >erets > , and made <7760 suwm > mine

heritage <5159 nachalah > an abomination <8441 tow<ebah > .

: 8 The priests <3548 kohen > said <0559 >amar > not , Where

<0346 >ayeh > [ is ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ? and they that

handle <8610 taphas > the law <8451 towrah > knew <3045 yada< >

me not : the pastors <7462 ra<ah > also transgressed <6586

pasha< > against me , and the prophets <5030 nabiy> >

prophesied <5012 naba> > by Baal <1168 Ba<al > , and walked

<1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > [ things that ] do not

profit <3276 ya<al > .

: 9 . Wherefore <3651 ken > I will yet <5750 <owd > plead

<7378 riyb > with you , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > , and with your children s <1121 ben > children <1121

ben > will I plead <7378 riyb > .

: 10 For pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > the isles <0339

send <7971 shalach > unto Kedar <6938 Qedar > , and consider

<0995 biyn > diligently <3966 m@<od > , and see <7200 ra>ah >

if there be such <2063 zo>th > a thing .

: 11 Hath a nation <1471 gowy > changed <4171 muwr > [ their ]

gods <0430 >elohiym > , which <1992 hem > [ are ] yet no

<3808 lo> > gods <0430 >elohiym > ? but my people <5971 <am >

have changed <4171 muwr > their glory <3519 kabowd > for [ that

which <1992 hem > ] doth not profit <3276 ya<al > .

: 12 Be astonished <8074 shamem > , O ye heavens <8064

shamayim > , at <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > , and be

horribly <8175 sa<ar > afraid <8175 sa<ar > , be ye very <3966

m@<od > desolate <2717 charab > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > .

: 13 For my people <5971 <am > have committed <6213 <asah > two

<8147 sh@nayim > evils <7451 ra< > ; they have forsaken <5800

<azab > me the fountain <4726 maqowr > of living <2416 chay >

waters <4325 mayim > , [ and ] hewed <2672 chatsab > them out

cisterns <0877 bo>r > , broken <7665 shabar > cisterns <0877

bo>r > , that can hold <3557 kuwl > no <3808 lo> > water <4325

: 14 . [ Is ] Israel <3478 Yisra>el > a servant <5650 <ebed

<4069 madduwa< > is he spoiled <0957 baz > ?

: 15 The young <3715 k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr > roared

<7580 sha>ag > upon him , [ and ] yelled , and they made

<7896 shiyth > his land <0776 >erets > waste <8047 shammah > :

his cities <5892 <iyr > are burned <3341 yatsath > without <1097

b@liy > inhabitant <3427 yashab > .

: 16 Also <1571 gam > the children <1121 ben > of Noph <5297

Noph > and Tahapanes <8471 Tachpanchec > have broken <7462 ra<ah

: 17 Hast thou not procured <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th >

unto thyself , in that thou hast forsaken <5800 <azab > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > , when <6256 <eth

: 18 And now <6258 <attah > what <4100 mah > hast thou to do in

the way <1870 derek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > , to drink

<8354 shathah > the waters <4325 mayim > of Sihor <7883

Shiychowr > ? or what <4100 mah > hast thou to do in the way

<1870 derek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > , to drink <8354

shathah > the waters <4325 mayim > of the river <5104 nahar > ?

: 19 Thine own wickedness <7451 ra< > shall correct <3256 yacar

> thee , and thy backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > shall reprove

<3198 yakach > thee : know <3045 yada< > therefore and see <7200

ra>ah > that [ it is ] an evil <7451 ra< > [ thing ] and

bitter <4751 mar > , that thou hast forsaken <5800 <azab > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > , and that my

fear <6345 pachdah > [ is ] not in thee , saith <5002 n@>um >

the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635

tsaba> > .

: 20 . For of old <5769 <owlam > time I have broken <7665

shabar > thy yoke <5923 <ol > , [ and ] burst <5423 nathaq >

thy bands <4147 mowcer > ; and thou saidst <0559 >amar > , I

will not transgress <5647 <abad > ; when <3588 kiy > upon every

<3605 kol > high <1364 gaboahh > hill <1389 gib<ah > and under

<8478 tachath > every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree

<6086 <ets > thou wanderest <6808 tsa<ah > , playing the harlot

<2181 zanah > .

: 21 Yet I had planted <5193 nata< > thee a noble vine <8321

soreq > , wholly <3605 kol > a right <0571 >emeth > seed <2233

zera< > : how <0349 >eyk > then art thou turned <2015 haphak >

into the degenerate <5494 cuwr > plant of a strange <5237 nokriy

: 22 For though <0518 >im > thou wash <3526 kabac > thee with

nitre <5427 nether > , and take thee much <7235 rabah > soap

<1287 boriyth > , [ yet ] thine iniquity <5771 <avon > is

marked <3799 katham > before <6440 paniym > me , saith <5002

n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

: 23 How <0349 >eyk > canst thou say <0559 >amar > , I am not

polluted <2930 tame> > , I have not gone <1980 halak > after

<0310 >achar > Baalim <1168 Ba<al > ? see <7200 ra>ah > thy way

<1870 derek > in the valley <1516 gay> > , know <3045 yada< >

what <4100 mah > thou hast done <6213 <asah > : [ thou art ] a

swift <7031 qal > dromedary <1072 bikrah > traversing <8308

sarak > her ways <1870 derek > ;

: 24 A wild <6501 pere> > ass <6501 pere> > used <3928 limmuwd

sha>aph > up the wind <7307 ruwach > at her pleasure ; in her

occasion <8385 ta>anah > who <4310 miy > can turn <7725 shuwb >

her away ? all <3605 kol > they that seek <1245 baqash > her

will not weary <3286 ya<aph > themselves ; in her month <2320

chodesh > they shall find <4672 matsa> > her .

: 25 Withhold <4513 mana< > thy foot <7272 regel > from being

unshod <3182 yacheph > , and thy throat <1627 garown > from

thirst <6773 tsim>ah > : but thou saidst <0559 >amar > , There

is no hope <2976 ya>ash > : no <3808 lo> > ; for I have loved

<0157 >ahab > strangers <2114 zuwr > , and after <0310 >achar >

them will I go <3212 yalak > .

: 26 As the thief <1590 gannab > is ashamed <1322 bosheth >

when <3588 kiy > he is found <4672 matsa> > , so <3651 ken > is

the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ashamed

<0954 buwsh > ; they , their kings <4428 melek > , their

princes <8269 sar > , and their priests <3548 kohen > , and

their prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,

: 27 Saying <0559 >amar > to a stock <6086 <ets > , Thou [

art ] my father <1> ; and to a stone <68> , Thou hast brought

<3205 yalad > me forth <3205 yalad > : for they have turned

<6437 panah > [ their ] back <6203 <oreph > unto me , and not

[ their ] face <6440 paniym > : but in the time <6256 <eth >

of their trouble <7451 ra< > they will say <0559 >amar > ,

Arise <6965 quwm > , and save <3467 yasha< > us .

: 28 But where <0346 >ayeh > [ are ] thy gods <0430 >elohiym

> that thou hast made <6213 <asah > thee ? let them arise <6965

quwm > , if they can save <3467 yasha< > thee in the time <6256

<eth > of thy trouble <7451 ra< > : for [ according to ] the

number <4557 micpar > of thy cities <5892 <iyr > are thy gods

<0430 >elohiym > , O Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

: 29 . Wherefore <4100 mah > will ye plead <7378 riyb > with

me ? ye all <3605 kol > have transgressed <6586 pasha< >

against me , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 30 In vain <7723 shav> > have I smitten <5221 nakah > your

children <1121 ben > ; they received <3947 laqach > no <3808

lo> > correction <4148 muwcar > : your own sword <2719 chereb >

hath devoured <0398 >akal > your prophets <5030 nabiy> > , like

a destroying <7843 shachath > lion <0738 >ariy > .

: 31 O generation <1755 dowr > , see <7200 ra>ah > ye the word

<1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . Have I been <1961

hayah > a wilderness <4057 midbar > unto Israel <3478 Yisra>el >

? a land <0776 >erets > of darkness <3991 ma>phel@yah > ?

wherefore <4069 madduwa< > say <0559 >amar > my people <5971 <am

> , We are lords <7300 ruwd > ; we will come <0935 bow> > no

<3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > unto thee ?

: 32 Can a maid <1330 b@thuwlah > forget <7911 shakach > her

ornaments <5716 <adiy > , [ or ] a bride <3618 kallah > her

attire <7196 qishshur > ? yet my people <5971 <am > have

forgotten <7911 shakach > me days <3117 yowm > without <0369

>ayin > number <4557 micpar > .

: 33 Why <4100 mah > trimmest <3190 yatab > thou thy way <1870

derek > to seek <1245 baqash > love <0160 >ahabah > ? therefore

<3651 ken > hast thou also <1571 gam > taught <3925 lamad > the

wicked <7451 ra< > ones thy ways <1870 derek > .

: 34 Also <1571 gam > in thy skirts <3671 kanaph > is found

<4672 matsa> > the blood <1818 dam > of the souls <5315 nephesh

<4672 matsa> > it by secret <5643 cether > search <4290

machtereth > , but upon all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh >

: 35 Yet thou sayest <0559 >amar > , Because <3588 kiy > I am

fruitful <3759 karmel > place [ was ] a wilderness <4057

were broken <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats > at the presence

<6440 paniym > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , [ and ] by his

fierce <2740 charown > anger <0639 >aph > .

<0559 >amar > , The whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > shall

be desolate <8077 sh@mamah > ; yet will I not make <6213 <asah

<7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > from it .

: 29 The whole <3605 kol > city <5892 <iyr > shall flee <1272

what <4100 mah > wilt thou do <6213 <asah > ? Though <3588 kiy

: 4 Therefore I said <0559 >amar > , Surely <0389 >ak > these

: 5 I will get <3212 yalak > me unto the great <1419 gadowl >

The gods <0426 >elahh > that have not made <5648 <abad > the

[ there is ] a multitude <1995 hamown > of waters <4325 mayim >

A conspiracy <7195 qesher > is found <4672 matsa> > among the

broken <6565 parar > my covenant <1285 b@riyth > which <0834

: 13 For [ according to ] the number <4557 micpar > of thy

a linen <6593 pishteh > girdle <0232 >ezowr > , and put <7760

the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and put

<7760 suwm > [ it ] on <5921 <al > my loins <4975 mothen > .

Euphrates <6578 P@rath > , as the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

<6743 tsalach > for nothing .

Pray <6419 palal > not for this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >
