Jeremiah 1

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

> captive <1540 galah > in the fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > month

<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

>ozen > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, saying <0559 >amar >,

Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; I

remember <2142 zakar > thee, the kindness <2617 checed > of thy

youth <5271 na<uwr >, the love <0160 >ahabah > of 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 >,

and all <3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the

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

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

What <4100 mah > iniquity <5766 <evel > have your fathers <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 >erets > that no <3808

lo> > man <0376 >iysh > passed <5674 <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

>iy > of Chittim <3794 Kittiy >, and see <7200 ra>ah >; and 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 mayim >.

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

he a homeborn <1004 bayith > [slave]? why <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 >

the crown <6936 qodqod > of thy head <6936 qodqod >.

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 > he led

<3212 yalak > thee by the way <1870 derek >?

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

> vine <1612 gephen > unto me?

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 >

to the wilderness <4057 midbar >, [that] snuffeth <7602 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 > of

the poor <34> innocents <5355 naqiy >: I have not found <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

innocent <5352 naqah >, surely <0389 >ak > his anger <0639 >aph

plead <8199 shaphat > with thee, because <5921 <al > thou sayest

Jeremiah 3

1. They say <0559 >amar >, If a man <0376 >iysh > put <7971

again <5750 <owd >? shall not that land <0776 >erets > be

greatly polluted <2610 chaneph >? but thou hast played the

harlot <2181 zanah > with many <7227 rab > lovers <7453 rea< >;

yet return <7725 shuwb > again to me, saith <5002 n@>um > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

ways <1870 derek > hast thou sat <3427 yashab > for them, as the

Arabian <6163 <Arabiy > in the wilderness <4057 midbar >; and

thou hast polluted <2610 chaneph > the land <0776 >erets > with

thy whoredoms <2184 z@nuwth > and with thy wickedness <7451 ra<

3 Therefore the showers <7241 rabiyb > have been withholden

<4513 mana< >, and there hath been <1961 hayah > no <3808 lo> >

latter <4456 malqowsh > rain <4456 malqowsh >; and thou hadst a

whore's <2181 zanah > forehead <4696 metsach >, thou refusedst

<3985 ma>en > to be ashamed <3637 kalam >.

4 Wilt thou not from this time <6258 <attah > cry <7121 qara> >

unto me, My father <1>, thou [art] the guide <0441 >alluwph > of

my youth <5271 na<uwr >?

5 Will he reserve <5201 natar > [his anger] for ever? will he

keep <8104 shamar > [it] to the end <5331 netsach >? Behold

<2009 hinneh >, thou hast spoken <1696 dabar > and done <6213

<asah > evil <7451 ra< > things as thou couldest <3201 yakol >.

6. The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > also unto me in

the days <3117 yowm > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > the king <4428

7 And I said <0559 >amar > after <0310 >achar > she had done

<6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > [things],

Turn <7725 shuwb > thou unto me. But she returned <7725 shuwb >

not. And her treacherous <0901 bagowd > sister <0269 >achowth >

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > saw <7200 ra>ah > [it].

8 And I saw <7200 ra>ah >, when <3588 kiy > for all <3605 kol >

the causes <0182 >owdowth > whereby <0834 >aher > backsliding

but went <3212 yalak > and played the harlot <2181 zanah > also

<1571 gam >.

9 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass through the lightness <6963

10 And yet for all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > her

11 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, The

backsliding <4878 m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath

justified <6663 tsadaq > herself more than treacherous <0898

12. Go <1980 halak > and proclaim <7121 qara> > these <0428 >el-

13 Only <0389 >ak > acknowledge <3045 yada< > thine iniquity

14 Turn <7725 shuwb >, O backsliding <7726 showbab > children

17 At that time <6256 <eth > they shall call <7121 qara> >

Thou shalt call <7121 qara> > me, My father <1>; and shalt not

21 A voice <6963 qowl > was heard <8085 shama< > upon the high

nathats > down <5422 nathats > at the presence <6440 paniym > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and] by his fierce <2740 charown >

anger <0639 >aph >.

27 For thus <3541 koh > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said

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

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

a full end <3615 kalah >.

28 For this <2063 zo>th > shall the earth <0776 >erets > mourn

<56>, and the heavens <8064 shamayim > above <4605 ma<al > be

black <6937 qadar >: because I have spoken <1696 dabar > [it], I

have purposed <2161 zamam > [it], and will not repent <5162

nacham >, neither <3808 lo> > will I turn <7725 shuwb > back

<7725 shuwb > from it.

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

barach > for the noise <6963 qowl > of the horsemen <6571 parash

and not a man <0376 >iysh > dwell <3427 yashab > therein <2004

30 And [when] thou [art] spoiled <7703 shadad >, what <4100 mah

<3847 labash > thyself with crimson <8144 shaniy >, though <3588

qara< > thy face <5869 <ayin > with painting <6320 puwk >, in

vain <7723 shav> > shalt thou make thyself fair <3302 yaphah >;

[thy] lovers <5689 <agab > will despise <3988 ma>ac > thee, they

will seek <1245 baqash > thy life <5315 nephesh >.

31 For I have heard <8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl > as of a

woman in travail <2470 chalah >, [and] the anguish <6869 tsarah

herself, [that] spreadeth <6566 paras > her hands <3709 kaph >,

[saying], Woe <0188 >owy > [is] me now <4994 na> >! for my soul

<5315 nephesh > is wearied <5888 <ayeph > because of murderers

<2026 harag >.

Jeremiah 5

1. Run <7751 shuwt > ye to and fro <7751 shuwt > through the

streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and

see <7200 ra>ah > now <4994 na> >, and know <3045 yada< >, and

seek <1245 baqash > in the broad <7339 r@chob > places thereof,

if <0518 >im > ye can find <4672 matsa> > a man <0376 >iysh >,

if <0518 >im > there be [any] that executeth <6213 <asah >

judgment <4941 mishpat >, that seeketh <1245 baqash > the truth

<0530 >emuwnah >; and I will pardon <5545 calach > it.

2 And though <0518 >im > they say <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068

Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >; surely <0403 >aken > they swear

<7650 shaba< > falsely <8267 sheqer >.

3 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [are] not thine eyes <5869 <ayin >

upon the truth <0530 >emuwnah >? thou hast stricken <5221 nakah

consumed <3615 kalah > them, [but] they have refused <3985 ma>en

made their faces <6440 paniym > harder <2388 chazaq > than a

rock <5553 cela< >; they have refused <3985 ma>en > to return

<7725 shuwb >.

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

<1992 hem > [are] poor <1800 dal >; they are foolish <2973 ya>al

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [nor] the judgment <4941 mishpat > of

their God <0430 >elohiym >.

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

and will speak <1696 dabar > unto them; for they have known

<3045 yada< > the way <1870 derek > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

[and] the judgment <4941 mishpat > of their God <0430 >elohiym >:

but these <1992 hem > have altogether <3162 yachad > broken

<7665 shabar > the yoke <5923 <ol >, [and] burst <5423 nathaq >

the bonds <4147 mowcer >.

6 Wherefore a lion <0738 >ariy > out of the forest <3293 ya<ar

the evenings <6160 <arabah > shall spoil <7703 shadad > them, a

leopard <5246 namer > shall watch <8245 shaqad > over <5921 <al

> their cities <5892 <iyr >: every one that goeth <3318 yatsa> >

out thence <2007 hennah > shall be torn <2963 taraph > in pieces:

because <3588 kiy > their transgressions <6588 pesha< > are

many <7231 rabab >, [and] their backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah >

are increased <6105 <atsam >.

7 How <0335 >ay > shall I pardon <5545 calach > thee for this

<2063 zo>th >? thy children <1121 ben > have forsaken <5800

<azab > me, and sworn <7650 shaba< > by [them that are] no <3808

lo> > gods <0430 >elohiym >: when I had fed them to the full

<7646 saba< >, they then committed <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003

na>aph >, and assembled <1413 gadad > themselves by troops in

the harlots <2181 zanah >' houses <1004 bayith >.

8 They were [as] fed <2109 zuwn > horses <5483 cuwc > in the

morning <7904 shakah >: every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh >

neighed <6670 tsahal > after <0413 >el > his neighbour's <7453

9 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > for these <0428 >el-leh >

[things]? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and

shall not my soul <5315 nephesh > be avenged <5358 naqam > on

such <0834 >aher > a nation <1471 gowy > as this <2088 zeh >?

10. Go <5927 <alah > ye up upon her walls <8284 sharah >, and

destroy <7843 shachath >; but make <6213 <asah > not a full end

<3615 kalah >: take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > her

battlements <5189 n@tiyshah >; for they [are] not the LORD'S

<3068 Y@hovah >.

11 For the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and

the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have dealt

very treacherously <0898 bagad > against me, saith <5002 n@>um >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

12 They have belied <3584 kachash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

and said <0559 >amar >, [It is] not he; neither <3808 lo> >

shall evil <7451 ra< > come <0935 bow> > upon us; neither <3808

lo> > shall we see <7200 ra>ah > sword <2719 chereb > nor famine

<7458 ra<ab >:

13 And the prophets <5030 nabiy> > shall become <1961 hayah >

wind <7307 ruwach >, and the word <1699 dober > [is] not in them:

thus <3541 koh > shall it be done <6213 <asah > unto them.

14 Wherefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635

tsaba> >, Because <3282 ya<an > ye speak <1696 dabar > this

fire <0784 >esh >, and this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > wood

15 Lo <2009 hinneh >, I will bring <0935 bow> > a nation <1471

Y@hovah >: it [is] a mighty <0386 >eythan > nation <1471 gowy >,

it [is] an ancient <5769 <owlam > nation <1471 gowy >, a nation

yada< > not, neither <3808 lo> > understandest <8085 shama< >

what <4100 mah > they say <1696 dabar >.

16 Their quiver <0827 >ashpah > [is] as an open <6605 pathach >

sepulchre <6913 qeber >, they [are] all <3605 kol > mighty <1368

17 And they shall eat <0398 >akal > up thine harvest <7105

they shall eat <0398 >akal > up thy flocks <6629 tso>n > and

thine herds <1241 baqar >: they shall eat <0398 >akal > up thy

vines <1612 gephen > and thy fig <8384 t@>en > trees: they shall

18 Nevertheless <1571 gam > in those <1992 hem > days <3117

make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615 kalah > with you.

19 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, when <3588 kiy > ye

20. Declare <5046 nagad > this <2063 zo>th > in the house <1004

bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and publish <8085 shama< > it

in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saying <0559 >amar >,

21 Hear <8085 shama< > now <4994 na> > this <2063 zo>th >, O

foolish <5530 cakal > people <5971 <am >, and without <0369

22 Fear <3372 yare> > ye not me? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD

and though the waves <1530 gal > thereof toss <1607 ga<ash >

roar <1993 hamah >, yet can <3201 yakol > they not pass <5674

23 But this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > hath a revolting

they are revolted <5498 cachab > and gone <3212 yalak >.

24 Neither <3808 lo> > say <0559 >amar > they in their heart

25. Your iniquities <5771 <avon > have turned <5186 natah >

away these <0428 >el-leh > [things], and your sins <2403

26 For among my people <5971 <am > are found <4672 matsa> >

wicked <7563 rasha< > [men]: they lay wait <7789 shuwr >, as he

29 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > for these <0428 >el-leh >

30 A wonderful <8047 shammah > and horrible <8186 sha<aruwrah >

Jeremiah 6

1. O ye children <1121 ben > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >,

3 The shepherds <7462 ra<ah > with their flocks <5739 <eder >

11 Therefore I am full <4392 male> > of the fury <2534 chemah >

13 For from the least <6996 qatan > of them even unto the

15 Were they ashamed <0954 buwsh > when <3588 kiy > they had

20 To what <4100 mah > purpose cometh <0935 bow> > there to me

incense <3828 l@bownah > from Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> >, and the

21 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

Jeremiah 7

1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah

8 Behold <2009 hinneh >, ye trust <0982 batach > in lying <8267

18 The children <1121 ben > gather <3950 laqat > wood <6086

20 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

21. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

22 For I spake <1696 dabar > not unto your fathers <1>, nor

23 But this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > commanded <6680

all <3605 kol > the ways <1870 derek > that I have commanded

24 But they hearkened <8085 shama< > not, nor <3808 lo> >

inclined <5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen >, but walked <3212

25 Since <4480 min > the day <3117 yowm > that your fathers <1>

27 Therefore thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol >

28 But thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them, This <2088 zeh >

30 For the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have

saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: they have set

31 And they have built <1129 banah > the high <1116 bamah >

32 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117

they shall bury <6912 qabar > in Tophet <8612 Topheth >, till

there be no <0369 >ayin > place <4725 maqowm >.

33 And the carcases <5038 n@belah > of this <2088 zeh > people

7 Yea <1571 gam >, the stork <2624 chaciydah > in the heaven

<8064 shamayim > knoweth <3045 yada< > her appointed <4150

mow<ed > times <6256 <eth >; and the turtle <8449 towr > and the

my people <5971 <am > know <3045 yada< > not the judgment <4941

8 How <0349 >eyk > do ye say <0559 >amar >, We [are] wise <2450

chakam >, and the law <8451 towrah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

[is] with us? Lo <2009 hinneh >, certainly <0403 >aken > in vain

<8267 sheqer > made <6213 <asah > he [it]; the pen <5842 <et >

of the scribes <5608 caphar > [is] in vain <8267 sheqer >.

9 The wise <2450 chakam > [men] are ashamed <0954 buwsh >, they

are dismayed <2865 chathath > and taken: lo <2009 hinneh >, they

have rejected <3988 ma>ac > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >; and what <4100 mah > wisdom <2451 chokmah >

[is] in them?

10 Therefore <3651 ken > will I give <5414 nathan > their wives

<0802 >ishshah > unto others <0312 >acher >, [and] their fields

<7704 sadeh > to them that shall inherit <3423 yarash > [them]:

for every <3605 kol > one from the least <6996 qatan > even unto

the greatest <1419 gadowl > is given to covetousness <1215

<3548 kohen > every <3605 kol > one dealeth <6213 <asah >

falsely <8267 sheqer >.

11 For they have healed <7495 rapha> > the hurt <7667 sheber >

of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am > slightly

<7043 qalal >, saying <0559 >amar >, Peace <7965 shalowm >,

peace <7965 shalowm >; when [there is] no <0369 >ayin > peace

<7965 shalowm >.

12 Were they ashamed <0954 buwsh > when <3588 kiy > they had

committed <6213 <asah > abomination <8441 tow<ebah >? nay <1571

from them.

14 Why do we sit <3427 yashab > still? assemble <0622 >acaph >

yourselves, and let us enter <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the

defenced <4013 mibtsar > cities <5892 <iyr >, and let us be

silent <1826 damam > there <8033 sham >: for the LORD <3068

to drink <8248 shaqah >, because <3588 kiy > we have sinned

<2398 chata> > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

15 We looked <6960 qavah > for peace <7965 shalowm >, but no

trouble <1205 b@<athah >!

16 The snorting <5170 nachar > of his horses <5483 cuwc > was

heard <8085 shama< > from Dan <1835 Dan >: the whole <3605 kol >

land <0776 >erets > trembled <7493 ra<ash > at the sound <6963

qowl > of the neighing <4684 matshalah > of his strong <47> ones;

for they are come <0935 bow> >, and have devoured <0398 >akal >

the land <0776 >erets >, and all <4393 m@lo> > that is in it;

the city <5892 <iyr >, and those that dwell <3427 yashab >

therein.

17 For, behold <2005 hen >, I will send <7971 shalach >

serpents <5175 nachash >, cockatrices <6848 tsepha< >, among you,

which <0834 >aher > [will] not [be] charmed <3908 lachash >,

and they shall bite <5391 nashak > you, saith <5002 n@>um > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

18 [When] I would comfort <4010 mabliygiyth > myself against

sorrow <3015 yagown >, my heart <3820 leb > [is] faint <1742

19 Behold <2009 hinneh > the voice <6963 qowl > of the cry

Why <4069 madduwa< > have they provoked me to anger <3707 ka<ac

<5236 nekar > vanities <1892 hebel >?

20 The harvest <7105 qatsiyr > is past <5674 <abar >, the

summer <7019 qayits > is ended <3615 kalah >, and we are not

saved <3467 yasha< >.

21 For the hurt <7667 sheber > of the daughter <1323 bath > of

my people <5971 <am > am I hurt <7665 shabar >; I am black <6937

qadar >; astonishment <8047 shammah > hath taken <2388 chazaq >

hold <2388 chazaq > on me.

22 [Is there] no <0369 >ayin > balm <6875 ts@riy > in Gilead

<1568 Gil<ad >; [is there] no <0369 >ayin > physician <7495

health <0724 >aruwkah > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my

people <5971 <am > recovered <5927 <alah >?

Jeremiah 9

1. Oh that my head <7218 ro>sh > were waters <4325 mayim >, and

mine eyes <5869 <ayin > a fountain <4726 maqowr > of tears <1832

2 Oh that I had in the wilderness <4057 midbar > a lodging

<4411 malown > place of wayfaring <0732 >arach > men; that I

might leave <5800 <azab > my people <5971 <am >, and go <3212

<5003 na>aph >, an assembly <6116 <atsarah > of treacherous

3 And they bend <1869 darak > their tongues <3956 lashown >

[like] their bow <7198 qesheth > [for] lies <8267 sheqer >: but

they are not valiant <1396 gabar > for the truth <0530 >emuwnah

from evil <7451 ra< > to evil <7451 ra< >, and they know <3045

4 Take ye heed <8104 shamar > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376

5 And they will deceive <2048 hathal > every <0376 >iysh > one

<1696 dabar > the truth <0571 >emeth >: they have taught <3925

<8267 sheqer >, [and] weary <3811 la>ah > themselves to commit

<5753 <avah > iniquity <5753 <avah >.

6 Thine habitation <3427 yashab > [is] in the midst <8432 tavek

refuse <3985 ma>en > to know <3045 yada< > me, saith <5002 n@>um

7 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

8 Their tongue <3956 lashown > [is as] an arrow <2671 chets >

10 For the mountains <2022 har > will I take <5375 nasa> > up a

weeping <1065 B@kiy > and wailing <5092 n@hiy >, and for the

habitations <4999 na>ah > of the wilderness <4057 midbar > a

lamentation <7015 qiynah >, because <3588 kiy > they are burned

[men] hear <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the cattle

they are gone <1980 halak >.

11 And I will make <5414 nathan > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim

12. Who <4310 miy > [is] the wise <2450 chakam > man <0376

and [who is he] to whom <0834 >aher > the mouth <6310 peh > of

declare <5046 nagad > it, for what <4100 mah > the land <0776

wilderness <4057 midbar >, that none <1997 Hamownah > passeth

<5674 <abar > through?

13 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saith <0559 >amar >, Because

<5921 <al > they have forsaken <5800 <azab > my law <8451 towrah

14 But have walked <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the

15 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430

<4325 mayim > of gall <7219 ro>sh > to drink <8248 shaqah >.

16 I will scatter <6327 puwts > them also among the heathen

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

19 For a voice <6963 qowl > of wailing <5092 n@hiy > is heard

<8085 shama< > out of Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, How <0349 >eyk > are

we spoiled <7703 shadad >! we are greatly <3966 m@<od >

confounded <0954 buwsh >, because <3588 kiy > we have forsaken

<5800 <azab > the land <0776 >erets >, because <3588 kiy > our

20 Yet <3588 kiy > hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar >

Jeremiah 10

1. Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > which <0834

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

2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

Learn <3925 lamad > not the way <1870 derek > of the heathen

3 For the customs <2708 chuqqah > of the people <5971 <am >

[are] vain <1892 hebel >: for [one] cutteth <3772 karath > a

tree <6086 <ets > out of the forest <3293 ya<ar >, the work

4 They deck <3302 yaphah > it with silver <3701 keceph > and

nails <4548 macmer > and with hammers <4717 maqqabah >, that it

move <6328 puwq > not.

5 They [are] upright <4749 miqshah > as the palm <8560 tomer >

12 He hath made <6213 <asah > the earth <0776 >erets > by his

<8398 tebel > by his wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and hath stretched

<5186 natah > out the heavens <8064 shamayim > by his discretion

<8394 tabuwn >.

13 When he uttereth <5414 nathan > his voice <6963 qowl >,

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

the heavens <8064 shamayim >, and he causeth the vapours <5387

14 Every <3605 kol > man <0120 >adam > is brutish <1197 ba<ar >

in [his] knowledge <1847 da<ath >: every <3605 kol > founder

<6884 tsaraph > is confounded <3001 yabesh > by the graven <6459

pecel > image <6459 pecel >: for his molten <5262 necek > image

[is] falsehood <8267 sheqer >, and [there is] no <3808 lo> >

breath <7307 ruwach > in them.

15 They [are] vanity <1892 hebel >, [and] the work <4639

ma<aseh > of errors <8595 ta<tua< >: in the time <6256 <eth > of

their visitation <6486 p@quddah > they shall perish <6>.

16 The portion <2506 cheleq > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > [is] not

like them: for he [is] the former <3335 yatsar > of all <3605

17. Gather <0622 >acaph > up thy wares <3666 kin<ah > out of

the land <0776 >erets >, O inhabitant <3427 yashab > of the

18 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

19 Woe <0188 >owy > is me for my hurt <7667 sheber >! my wound

20 My tabernacle <0168 >ohel > is spoiled <7703 shadad >, and

21 For the pastors <7462 ra<ah > are become <1197 ba<ar >

brutish <1197 ba<ar >, and have not sought <1875 darash > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: therefore they shall not prosper <7919

22 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the noise <6963 qowl > of the bruit

[and] a den <4583 ma<own > of dragons <8577 tanniyn >.

23 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, I know <3045 yada< > that the way

<1870 derek > of man <0120 >adam > [is] not in himself: [it is]

not in man that walketh <1980 halak > to direct <3559 kuwn > his

steps <6806 tsa<ad >.

24 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, correct <3256 yacar > me, but with

judgment <4941 mishpat >; not in thine anger <0639 >aph >, lest

<6435 pen > thou bring me to nothing <4591 ma<at >.

25 Pour <8210 shaphak > out thy fury <2534 chemah > upon the

heathen <1471 gowy > that know <3045 yada< > thee not, and upon

the families <4940 mishpachah > that call <7121 qara> > not on

thy name <8034 shem >: for they have eaten <0398 >akal > up

Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and devoured <0398 >akal > him, and

consumed <3615 kalah > him, and have made his habitation <5116

naveh > desolate <8074 shamem >.

Jeremiah 11

1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah

<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559

2 Hear <8085 shama< > ye the words <1697 dabar > of this <2088

men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and to the

inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >;

3 And say <0559 >amar > thou unto them, Thus <3541 koh > saith

<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Cursed <0779 >arar > [be] the man <0376

of this <2088 zeh > covenant <1285 b@riyth >,

4 Which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > your fathers

<1> in the day <3117 yowm > [that] I brought <3318 yatsa> > them

forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt

<4714 Mitsrayim >, from the iron <1270 barzel > furnace <3564

kuwr >, saying <0559 >amar >, Obey <8085 shama< > my voice <6963

qowl >, and do <6213 <asah > them, according to all <3605 kol >

which <0834 >aher > I command <6680 tsavah > you: so shall ye be

my people <5971 <am >, and I will be your God <0430 >elohiym >:

5 That I may perform <6965 quwm > the oath <7621 sh@buw<ah >

which <0834 >aher > I have sworn <7650 shaba< > unto your

fathers <1>, to give <5414 nathan > them a land <0776 >erets >

flowing <2100 zuwb > with milk <2461 chalab > and honey <1706

d@bash >, as [it is] this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >. Then

answered <6030 <anah > I, and said <0559 >amar >, So <0543 >amen

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

Proclaim <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh >

words <1697 dabar > in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063

Y@huwdah >, and in the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389

Y@ruwshalaim >, saying <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > ye the

words <1697 dabar > of this <2088 zeh > covenant <1285 b@riyth >,

and do <6213 <asah > them.

7 For I earnestly protested <5749 <uwd > unto your fathers <1>

in the day <3117 yowm > [that] I brought <5927 <alah > them up

out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >,

[even] unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >, rising <7925

shakam > early <7925 shakam > and protesting <5749 <uwd >,

saying <0559 >amar >, Obey <8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl >.

8 Yet they obeyed <8085 shama< > not, nor <3808 lo> > inclined

<5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen >, but walked <3212 yalak >

every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > in the imagination <8307

sh@riyruwth > of their evil <7451 ra< > heart <3820 leb >:

therefore I will bring <0935 bow> > upon them all <3605 kol >

the words <1697 dabar > of this <2088 zeh > covenant <1285

b@riyth >, which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > [them]

to do <6213 <asah >; but they did <6213 <asah > [them] not.

9 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, A

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

<0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and among the

inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.

10 They are turned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > to the

iniquities <5771 <avon > of their forefathers, which <0834 >aher

<0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > to serve <5647 <abad > them:

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

house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have broken <6565

parar > my covenant <1285 b@riyth > which <0834 >aher > I made

<3772 karath > with their fathers <1>.

11. Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935

bow> > evil <7451 ra< > upon them, which <0834 >aher > they

shall not be able <3201 yakol > to escape <3318 yatsa> >; and

though they shall cry <2199 za<aq > unto me, I will not hearken

<8085 shama< > unto them.

12 Then shall the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >

and inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >

go <1980 halak >, and cry <2199 za<aq > unto the gods <0430

>elohiym > unto whom they offer incense <6999 qatar >: but they

shall not save <3467 yasha< > them at all in the time <6256 <eth

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

<5892 <iyr > were thy gods <0430 >elohiym >, O Judah <3063

Y@huwdah >; and [according to] the number <4557 micpar > of the

streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > have ye

set <7760 suwm > up altars <4196 mizbeach > to [that] shameful

<1322 bosheth > thing, [even] altars <4196 mizbeach > to burn

<6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto Baal <1168 Ba<al >.

14 Therefore pray <6419 palal > not thou for this <2088 zeh >

people <5971 <am >, neither <0408 >al > lift <5375 nasa> > up a

cry <7440 rinnah > or prayer <8605 t@phillah > for them: for I

will not hear <8085 shama< > [them] in the time <6256 <eth >

that they cry <7121 qara> > unto me for their trouble <7451 ra<

15 What <4100 mah > hath my beloved <3039 y@diyd > to do in

mine house <1004 bayith >, [seeing] she hath wrought <6213 <asah

<6944 qodesh > flesh <1320 basar > is passed <5674 <abar > from

thee? when <3588 kiy > thou doest evil <7451 ra< >, then <0227

16 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > called <7121 qara> > thy name <8034

shem >, A green <7488 ra<anan > olive <2132 zayith > tree, fair

noise <6963 qowl > of a great <1419 gadowl > tumult <1999

hamullah > he hath kindled <3341 yatsath > fire <0784 >esh >

upon it, and the branches <1808 daliyah > of it are broken <7489

ra<a< >.

17 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, that

planted <5193 nata< > thee, hath pronounced <1696 dabar > evil

<7451 ra< > against <5921 <al > thee, for the evil <7451 ra< >

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

the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which <0834

hem > to provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac > in offering incense

<6999 qatar > unto Baal <1168 Ba<al >.

18. And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath given me knowledge <3045

yada< > [of it], and I know <3045 yada< > [it]: then <0227 >az >

thou shewedst <7200 ra>ah > me their doings <4611 ma<alal >.

19 But I [was] like a lamb <3532 kebes > [or] an ox <0441

>alluwph > [that] is brought <2986 yabal > to the slaughter

<2873 tabach >; and I knew <3045 yada< > not that they had

devised <2803 chashab > devices <4284 machashabah > against

<5921 <al > me, [saying], Let us destroy <7843 shachath > the

tree <6086 <ets > with the fruit <3899 lechem > thereof, and let

us cut <3772 karath > him off from the land <0776 >erets > of

the living <2416 chay >, that his name <8034 shem > may be no

<3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > remembered <2142 zakar >.

20 But, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, that

judgest <8199 shaphat > righteously <6664 tsedeq >, that triest

<0974 bachan > the reins <3629 kilyah > and the heart <3820 leb

them: for unto thee have I revealed <1540 galah > my cause <7379

riyb >.

21 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of the men <0582 >enowsh > of Anathoth

<6068 <Anathowth >, that seek <1245 baqash > thy life <5315

the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that thou die

<4191 muwth > not by our hand <3027 yad >:

22 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, Behold <2005

23 And there shall be no <3808 lo> > remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth >

year <8141 shaneh > of their visitation <6486 p@quddah >.

Jeremiah 12

1. Righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > [art] thou, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah

7. I have forsaken <5800 <azab > mine house <1004 bayith >, I

heritage <5159 nachalah >, and every man <0376 >iysh > to his

land <0776 >erets >.

16 And it shall come to pass, if <0518 >im > they will

diligently learn <3925 lamad > the ways <1870 derek > of my

people <5971 <am >, to swear <7650 shaba< > by my name <8034

taught <3925 lamad > my people <5971 <am > to swear <7650 shaba<

in the midst <8432 tavek > of my people <5971 <am >.

17 But if <0518 >im > they will not obey <8085 shama< >, I will

utterly pluck <5428 nathash > up and destroy <6> that nation

Jeremiah 13

1. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

> unto me, Go <1980 halak > and get <7069 qanah > thee a linen

<6593 pishteh > girdle <0232 >ezowr >, and put <7760 suwm > it

upon thy loins <4975 mothen >, and put <7760 suwm > it not in

water <4325 mayim >.

2 So I got <7069 qanah > a girdle <0232 >ezowr > according to

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

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

3 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

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

<0559 >amar >,

4 Take <3947 laqach > the girdle <0232 >ezowr > that thou hast

got <7069 qanah >, which <0834 >aher > [is] upon thy loins <4975

mothen >, and arise <6965 quwm >, go <3212 yalak > to Euphrates

<6578 P@rath >, and hide <2934 taman > it there <8033 sham > in

a hole <5357 naqiyq > of the rock.

5 So I went <3212 yalak >, and hid <2934 taman > it by

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

<6680 tsavah > me.

6 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <7093 qets > many

<7227 rab > days <3117 yowm >, that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

said <0559 >amar > unto me, Arise <6965 quwm >, go <3212 yalak >

to Euphrates <6578 P@rath >, and take <3947 laqach > the girdle

<0232 >ezowr > from thence <8033 sham >, which <0834 >aher > I

commanded <6680 tsavah > thee to hide <2934 taman > there <8033

sham >.

7 Then I went <3212 yalak > to Euphrates <6578 P@rath >, and

digged <2658 chaphar >, and took <3947 laqach > the girdle <0232

>ezowr > from the place <4725 maqowm > where I had hid <2934

taman > it: and, behold <2009 hinneh >, the girdle <0232 >ezowr

for nothing.

8 Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

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

9 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

After <3602 kakah > this manner <3541 koh > will I mar <7843

shachath > the pride <1347 ga>own > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >,

and the great <7227 rab > pride <1347 ga>own > of Jerusalem

<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.

10 This <2088 zeh > evil <7451 ra< > people <5971 <am >, which

refuse <3987 me>en > to hear <8085 shama< > my words <1697 dabar

<5647 <abad > them, and to worship <7812 shachah > them, shall

even be as this <2088 zeh > girdle <0232 >ezowr >, which <0834

>aher > is good <6743 tsalach > for nothing.

11 For as the girdle <0232 >ezowr > cleaveth <1692 dabaq > to

the loins <4975 mothen > of a man <0376 >iysh >, so <3651 ken >

have I caused to cleave <1692 dabaq > unto me the whole <3605

kol > house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and the

whole <3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >,

saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; that they might

be unto me for a people <5971 <am >, and for a name <8034 shem >,

and for a praise <8416 t@hillah >, and for a glory <8597

tiph>arah >: but they would not hear <8085 shama< >.

12. Therefore thou shalt speak <0559 >amar > unto them this

<2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar >; Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el >, Every <3605 kol > bottle <5035 nebel > shall

say <0559 >amar > unto thee, Do we not certainly know <3045

yada< > that every <3605 kol > bottle <5035 nebel > shall be

filled <4390 male> > with wine <3196 yayin >?

13 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh

prophets <5030 nabiy> >, and all <3605 kol > the inhabitants

<3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, with

drunkenness <7943 shikkarown >.

14 And I will dash <5310 naphats > them one <0376 >iysh >

against <0413 >el > another <0250 >Ezrachiy >, even the fathers

<1> and the sons <1121 ben > together <3162 yachad >, saith

<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: I will not pity <2550

chamal >, nor <3808 lo> > spare <2347 chuwc >, nor <3808 lo> >

have mercy <7355 racham >, but destroy <7843 shachath > them.

15 Hear <8085 shama< > ye, and give ear <0238 >azan >; be not

proud <1341 ge> >: for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken

<1696 dabar >.

16 Give <5414 nathan > glory <3519 kabowd > to the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym >, before <2962 terem > he

cause darkness <2821 chashak >, and before <2962 terem > your

feet <7272 regel > stumble <5062 nagaph > upon the dark <5399

nesheph > mountains <2022 har >, and, while ye look <6960 qavah

make <7896 shiyth > [it] gross <6205 <araphel > darkness <6205

<araphel >.

17 But if <0518 >im > ye will not hear <8085 shama< > it, my

soul <5315 nephesh > shall weep <1058 bakah > in secret <4565

mictar > places for [your] pride <1466 gevah >; and mine eye

18 Say <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > and to the

queen <1377 g@biyrah >, Humble <8213 shaphel > yourselves, sit

19 The cities <5892 <iyr > of the south <5045 negeb > shall be

21 What <4100 mah > wilt thou say <0559 >amar > when <3588 kiy

22. And if <3588 kiy > thou say <0559 >amar > in thine heart

23 Can the Ethiopian <3569 Kuwshiy > change <2015 haphak > his

24 Therefore will I scatter <6327 puwts > them as the stubble

25 This <2088 zeh > [is] thy lot <1486 gowral >, the portion

26 Therefore will I discover <2834 chasaph > thy skirts <7757

Jeremiah 14

1. The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that came

<1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > concerning the dearth

<1226 batstsoreth >.

2 Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > mourneth <56>, and the gates <8179

sha<ar > thereof languish <0535 >amal >; they are black <6937

qadar > unto the ground <0776 >erets >; and the cry <6682

ts@vachah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > is gone <5927

<alah > up.

3 And their nobles <0117 >addiyr > have sent <7971 shalach >

their little <6810 tsa<iyr > ones to the waters <4325 mayim >:

they came <0935 bow> > to the pits <1356 geb >, [and] found

<7725 shuwb > with their vessels <3627 k@liy > empty <7387

reyqam >; they were ashamed <0954 buwsh > and confounded <3637

kalam >, and covered <2645 chaphah > their heads <7218 ro>sh >.

4 Because <5668 <abuwr > the ground <0127 >adamah > is chapt

<2865 chathath >, for there was no <3808 lo> > rain <1653 geshem

ashamed <0954 buwsh >, they covered <2645 chaphah > their heads

5 Yea, the hind <0365 >ayeleth > also <1571 gam > calved <3205

6 And the wild <6501 pere> > asses <6501 pere> > did stand

<5975 <amad > in the high <8205 sh@phiy > places, they snuffed

7 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, though <0518 >im > our iniquities

thou [it] for thy name's <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma<an >: for

our backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > are many <7231 rabab >; we

8 O the hope <4723 miqveh > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, the

saviour <3467 yasha< > thereof in time <6256 <eth > of trouble

<6869 tsarah >, why <4100 mah > shouldest thou be as a stranger

9 Why <4100 mah > shouldest thou be as a man <0376 >iysh >

astonied <1724 daham >, as a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man <0376

are called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem >; leave <3241

10. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

have they loved <0157 >ahab > to wander <5128 nuwa< >, they have

not refrained <2820 chasak > their feet <7272 regel >, therefore

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > doth not accept <7521 ratsah > them; he

will now <4994 na> > remember <2142 zakar > their iniquity <5771

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

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

for [their] good <2896 towb >.

12 When <3588 kiy > they fast <6684 tsuwm >, I will not hear

<8085 shama< > their cry <7440 rinnah >; and when <3588 kiy >

they offer <5927 <alah > burnt <5930 <olah > offering and an

oblation <4503 minchah >, I will not accept <7521 ratsah > them:

but I will consume <3615 kalah > them by the sword <2719 chereb

13 Then said <0559 >amar > I, Ah <0162 >ahahh >, Lord <0136

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

The prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesy <5012 naba> > lies <8267

15 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

16 And the people <5971 <am > to whom they prophesy <5012 naba>

17. Therefore thou shalt say <0559 >amar > this <2088 zeh >

famine <7458 ra<ab >, to the famine <7458 ra<ab >; and such as

[are] for the captivity <7628 sh@biy >, to the captivity <7628

3 And I will appoint <6485 paqad > over <5921 <al > them four

<0702 >arba< > kinds <4940 mishpachah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: the sword <2719 chereb > to slay <2026

the fowls <5775 <owph > of the heaven <8064 shamayim >, and the

beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the earth <0776 >erets >, to devour

<0398 >akal > and destroy <7843 shachath >.

4 And I will cause <5414 nathan > them to be removed <2189

za<avah > into all <3605 kol > kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of the

earth <0776 >erets >, because <1558 galal > of Manasseh <4519

M@nashsheh > the son <1121 ben > of Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >

king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, for [that] which

Y@ruwshalaim >.

5 For who <4310 miy > shall have pity <2550 chamal > upon thee,

O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >? or who <4310 miy > shall

bemoan <5110 nuwd > thee? or who shall go <5493 cuwr > aside

6 Thou hast forsaken <5203 natash > me, saith <5002 n@>um > the

7 And I will fan <2219 zarah > them with a fan <2219 zarah > in

the gates <8179 sha<ar > of the land <0776 >erets >; I will

bereave <7921 shakol > [them] of children, I will destroy <6> my

people <5971 <am >, [since] they return <7725 shuwb > not from

their ways <1870 derek >.

8 Their widows <0490 >almanah > are increased <6105 <atsam > to

9 She that hath borne <3205 yalad > seven <7651 sheba< >

I deliver <5414 nathan > to the sword <2719 chereb > before

<6440 paniym > their enemies <0341 >oyeb >, saith <5002 n@>um >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

10. Woe <0188 >owy > is me, my mother <0517 >em >, that thou

hast borne <3205 yalad > me a man <0376 >iysh > of strife <7379

[yet] every <3605 kol > one of them doth curse <7043 qalal > me.

11 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar >, Verily it shall

be well <2896 towb > with thy remnant <8293 sheruwth >; verily

12 Shall iron <1270 barzel > break <7489 ra<a< > the northern

13 Thy substance <2428 chayil > and thy treasures <0214 >owtsar

14 And I will make [thee] to pass <5674 <abar > with thine

enemies <0341 >oyeb > into a land <0776 >erets > [which] thou

knowest <3045 yada< > not: for a fire <0784 >esh > is kindled

<6919 qadach > in mine anger <0639 >aph >, [which] shall burn

<3344 yaqad > upon you.

15. O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou knowest <3045 yada< >:

remember <2142 zakar > me, and visit <6485 paqad > me, and

revenge <5358 naqam > me of my persecutors <7291 radaph >; take

<3947 laqach > me not away in thy longsuffering: know <3045

yada< > that for thy sake I have suffered <5375 nasa> > rebuke

<2781 cherpah >.

16 Thy words <1697 dabar > were found <4672 matsa> >, and I did

eat <0398 >akal > them; and thy word <1697 dabar > was unto me

the joy <8342 sasown > and rejoicing <8057 simchah > of mine

heart <3824 lebab >: for I am called <7121 qara> > by thy name

<8034 shem >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of

hosts <6635 tsaba> >.

17 I sat <3427 yashab > not in the assembly <5475 cowd > of the

mockers <7832 sachaq >, nor rejoiced <5937 <alaz >; I sat <3427

yashab > alone <0909 badad > because <6440 paniym > of thy hand

<3027 yad >: for thou hast filled <4390 male> > me with

indignation <2195 za<am >.

18 Why <4100 mah > is my pain <3511 k@>eb > perpetual <5331

netsach >, and my wound <4347 makkah > incurable <0605 >anash >,

[which] refuseth <3985 ma>en > to be healed <7495 rapha> >? wilt

thou be altogether unto me as a liar <0391 >akzab >, [and as]

waters <4325 mayim > [that] fail <0539 >aman >?

19 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, If <0518 >im > thou return <7725 shuwb

[and] thou shalt stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > me:

and if <0518 >im > thou take <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >

the precious <3368 yaqar > from the vile <2151 zalal >, thou

shalt be as my mouth <6310 peh >: let them return <7725 shuwb >

unto thee; but return <7725 shuwb > not thou unto them.

20 And I will make <5414 nathan > thee unto this <2088 zeh >

people <5971 <am > a fenced <1219 batsar > brasen <5178

n@chosheth > wall <2346 chowmah >: and they shall fight <3898

<3201 yakol > against thee: for I [am] with thee to save <3467

yasha< > thee and to deliver <5337 natsal > thee, saith <5002

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

21 And I will deliver <5337 natsal > thee out of the hand <3027

yad > of the wicked <7451 ra< >, and I will redeem <6299 padah >

thee out of the hand <3709 kaph > of the terrible <6184 <ariyts

Jeremiah 16

1. The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > also unto me, saying,

2 Thou shalt not take <3947 laqach > thee a wife <0802 >ishshah

3 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > concerning <5921 <al > the sons <1121 ben > and

concerning <5921 <al > the daughters <1121 ben > that are born

yalad > them, and concerning <5921 <al > their fathers <1> that

begat <3205 yalad > them in this <2088 zeh > land <0776 >erets >;

4 They shall die <4191 muwth > of grievous <8463 tachaluw> >

deaths <4463 mamowth >; they shall not be lamented <5594 caphad

they shall be as dung <1828 domen > upon the face <6440 paniym >

of the earth <0127 >adamah >: and they shall be consumed <3615

5 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, Enter <0935 bow> > not into the house <1004 bayith >

of mourning <4798 marzeach >, neither <3808 lo> > go <3212 yalak

lovingkindness <2617 checed > and mercies <7356 racham >.

6 Both the great <1419 gadowl > and the small <6996 qatan >

<7139 qarach > for them:

7 Neither <3808 lo> > shall [men] tear <6536 parac >

8 Thou shalt not also go <0935 bow> > into the house <1004

bayith > of feasting <4960 mishteh >, to sit <3427 yashab > with

them to eat <0398 >akal > and to drink <8354 shathah >.

9 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will cause to

the bridegroom <2860 chathan >, and the voice <6963 qowl > of

the bride <3618 kallah >.

10. And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, when <3588 kiy >

thou shalt shew <5046 nagad > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am

we have committed <2398 chata> > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

11 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar > unto them, Because your

fathers <1> have forsaken <5800 <azab > me, saith <5002 n@>um >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and have walked <3212 yalak > after

<0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, and

have served <5647 <abad > them, and have worshipped <7812

kept <8104 shamar > my law <8451 towrah >;

12 And ye have done <6213 <asah > worse <7489 ra<a< > than your

every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > after <0310 >achar > the

imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of his evil <7451 ra< > heart

13 Therefore will I cast <2904 tuwl > you out of this <2063

night <3915 layil >; where <0834 >aher > I will not shew <5414

14. Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days

15 But, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, that

brought <5927 <alah > up the children <1121 ben > of Israel

fathers <1>.

16 Behold <2005 hen >, I will send <7971 shalach > for many

after <0310 >achar > will I send <7971 shalach > for many <7227

17 For mine eyes <5869 <ayin > [are] upon all <3605 kol > their

18 And first <7223 ri>shown > I will recompense <7999 shalam >

19 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, my strength <5797 <oz >, and my

fortress <4581 ma<owz >, and my refuge <4498 manowc > in the day

<3117 yowm > of affliction <6869 tsarah >, the Gentiles <1471

Jeremiah 17

1. The sin <2403 chatta>ah > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > [is]

Jeremiah 18

1. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah

saying <0559 >amar >,

2 Arise <6965 quwm >, and go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad >

to the potter's <3335 yatsar > house <1004 bayith >, and there

<8033 sham > I will cause thee to hear <8085 shama< > my words

<1697 dabar >.

3 Then I went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the potter's

<3335 yatsar > house <1004 bayith >, and, behold <2009 hinneh >,

he wrought <6213 <asah > a work <4399 m@la>kah > on <5921 <al >

the wheels <70>.

4 And the vessel <3627 k@liy > that he made <6213 <asah > of

clay <2563 chomer > was marred <7843 shachath > in the hand

<3027 yad > of the potter <3335 yatsar >: so he made <6213 <asah

k@liy >, as seemed <5869 <ayin > good <3474 yashar > to the

potter <3335 yatsar > to make <6213 <asah > [it].

5 Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > to me, saying <0559 >amar >,

6 O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, cannot I

do <6213 <asah > with you as this <2088 zeh > potter <3335

7 [At what] instant <7281 rega< > I shall speak <1696 dabar >

concerning <5921 <al > a nation <1471 gowy >, and concerning

8 If that nation <1471 gowy >, against <5921 <al > whom <0834

their evil <7451 ra< >, I will repent <5162 nacham > of the evil

<7451 ra< > that I thought <2803 chashab > to do <6213 <asah >

unto them.

9 And [at what] instant <7281 rega< > I shall speak <1696 dabar

10 If it do <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in my sight <5869

then I will repent <5162 nacham > of the good <2896 towb >,

wherewith <0834 >aher > I said <0559 >amar > I would benefit

<3190 yatab > them.

11. Now <6258 <attah > therefore go <4994 na> > to, speak <0559

<4611 ma<alal > good <3190 yatab >.

12 And they said <0559 >amar >, There is no hope <2976 ya>ash >:

but we will walk <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > our own

13 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Ask <7592 sha>al > ye now <4994 na> >

among the heathen <1471 gowy >, who <4310 miy > hath heard <8085

14 Will [a man] leave <5800 <azab > the snow <7950 sheleg > of

Lebanon <3844 L@banown > [which cometh] from the rock <6697

qar > flowing <5140 nazal > waters <4325 mayim > that come from

another <2114 zuwr > place be forsaken <5428 nathash >?

15 Because <3588 kiy > my people <5971 <am > hath forgotten

<7911 shakach > me, they have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999

qatar > to vanity <7723 shav> >, and they have caused them to

stumble <3782 kashal > in their ways <1870 derek > [from] the

ancient <5769 <owlam > paths <7635 shabiyl >, to walk <1980

halak > in paths <5410 nathiyb >, [in] a way <1870 derek > not

cast <5549 calal > up;

16 To make <7760 suwm > their land <0776 >erets > desolate

thereby <5921 <al > shall be astonished <8074 shamem >, and wag

<5110 nuwd > his head <7218 ro>sh >.

17 I will scatter <6327 puwts > them as with an east <6921

18. Then said <0559 >amar > they, Come <3212 yalak >, and let

us devise <2803 chashab > devices <4284 machashabah > against

<5921 <al > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >; for the law <8451 towrah

19 Give heed <7181 qashab > to me, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and

hearken <8085 shama< > to the voice <6963 qowl > of them that

contend <3401 yariyb > with me.

20 Shall evil <7451 ra< > be recompensed <7999 shalam > for

good <2896 towb >? for they have digged <3738 karah > a pit

speak <1696 dabar > good <2896 towb > for them, [and] to turn

<7725 shuwb > away thy wrath <2534 chemah > from them.

21 Therefore <3651 ken > deliver <5414 nathan > up their

children <1121 ben > to the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and pour <5064

nagar > out their [blood] by the force <3027 yad > of the sword

[be] slain <5221 nakah > by the sword <2719 chereb > in battle

22 Let a cry <2201 za<aq > be heard <8085 shama< > from their

23 Yet, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou knowest <3045 yada< > all

<3605 kol > their counsel <6098 <etsah > against <5921 <al > me

to slay <1194 B@<on > [me]: forgive <3722 kaphar > not their

iniquity <5771 <avon >, neither <0408 >al > blot <4229 machah >

out their sin <2403 chatta>ah > from thy sight <6440 paniym >,

but let them be overthrown <3782 kashal > before <6440 paniym >

14 Then came <0935 bow> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from Tophet

stood <5975 <amad > in the court <2691 chatser > of the LORD'S

Jeremiah 20

1. Now Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > the son <1121 ben > of Immer

<0564 >Immer > the priest <3548 kohen >, who <1931 huw> > [was]

also chief <5051 nogahh > governor <5057 nagiyd > in the house

<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, heard <8085 shama< >

that Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > prophesied <5012 naba> > these

<0428 >el-leh > things <1697 dabar >.

2 Then Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > smote <5221 nakah > Jeremiah

<3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, and put <5414

nathan > him in the stocks <4115 mahpeketh > that [were] in the

high <5945 >elyown > gate <8179 sha<ar > of Benjamin <1144

Binyamiyn >, which <0834 >aher > [was] by the house <1004 bayith

3 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass on the morrow <4283

mochorath >, that Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > brought <3318 yatsa>

stocks <4115 mahpeketh >. Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414

Yirm@yah > unto him, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not called

<7121 qara> > thy name <8034 shem > Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr >,

but Magormissabib <4036 Magowr mic-Cabiyb >.

4 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen >, I will make <5414 nathan > thee a

terror <4320 Miykayah > to thyself, and to all <3605 kol > thy

friends <0157 >ahab >: and they shall fall <5307 naphal > by the

sword <2719 chereb > of their enemies <0341 >oyeb >, and thine

eyes <5869 <ayin > shall behold <7200 ra>ah > [it]: and I will

give <5414 nathan > all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > into

the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894

Babel >, and he shall carry <1540 galah > them captive <1540

galah > into Babylon <0894 Babel >, and shall slay <5221 nakah >

them with the sword <2719 chereb >.

5 Moreover I will deliver <5414 nathan > all <3605 kol > the

strength <2633 chocen > of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >,

and all <3605 kol > the labours <3018 y@giya< > thereof, and all

<3605 kol > the precious <3366 y@qar > things thereof, and all

<3605 kol > the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the kings <4428

melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > will I give <5414 nathan >

into the hand <3027 yad > of their enemies <0341 >oyeb >, which

shall spoil <0962 bazaz > them, and take <3947 laqach > them,

and carry <0935 bow> > them to Babylon <0894 Babel >.

6 And thou, Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr >, and all <3605 kol > that

dwell <3427 yashab > in thine house <1004 bayith > shall go

<3212 yalak > into captivity <7628 sh@biy >: and thou shalt come

<0935 bow> > to Babylon <0894 Babel >, and there <8033 sham >

thou shalt die <4191 muwth >, and shalt be buried <6912 qabar >

there <8033 sham >, thou, and all <3605 kol > thy friends <0157

sheqer >.

7. O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou hast deceived <6601 pathah > me,

and I was deceived <6601 pathah >: thou art stronger <2388

chazaq > than I, and hast prevailed <3201 yakol >: I am in

derision <7814 s@chowq > daily, every <3605 kol > one mocketh

<3932 la<ag > me.

8 For since <1767 day > I spake <1696 dabar >, I cried <2199

za<aq > out, I cried <7121 qara> > violence <2555 chamac > and

spoil <7701 shod >; because <3588 kiy > the word <1697 dabar >

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was made <1961 hayah > a reproach

<2781 cherpah > unto me, and a derision <7047 qelec >, daily.

9 Then I said <0559 >amar >, I will not make mention <2142

zakar > of him, nor <3808 lo> > speak <1696 dabar > any more

<5750 <owd > in his name <8034 shem >. But [his word] was in

mine heart <3820 leb > as a burning <1197 ba<ar > fire <0784

was weary <3811 la>ah > with forbearing <3557 kuwl >, and I

could <3201 yakol > not [stay].

10 For I heard <8085 shama< > the defaming <1681 dibbah > of

many <7227 rab >, fear <4032 magowr > on every <5437 cabab >

side <5439 cabiyb >. Report <5046 nagad >, [say they], and we

will report <5046 nagad > it. All <3605 kol > my familiars <7965

shalowm > watched <8104 shamar > for my halting <6761 tsela< >,

[saying], Peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he will be enticed <6601

pathah >, and we shall prevail <3201 yakol > against him, and we

shall take <3947 laqach > our revenge <5360 n@qamah > on him.

11 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [is] with me as a mighty <1368

gibbowr > terrible <6184 <ariyts > one: therefore my persecutors

<7291 radaph > shall stumble <3782 kashal >, and they shall not

prevail <3201 yakol >: they shall be greatly <3966 m@<od >

ashamed <0954 buwsh >; for they shall not prosper <7919 sakal >:

[their] everlasting <5769 <owlam > confusion <3639 k@limmah >

shall never be forgotten <7911 shakach >.

12 But, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, that

triest <0974 bachan > the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq >, [and]

seest <7200 ra>ah > the reins <3629 kilyah > and the heart <3820

them: for unto thee have I opened <1540 galah > my cause <7379

riyb >.

13 Sing <7891 shiyr > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, praise

<1984 halal > ye the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: for he hath delivered

<5337 natsal > the soul <5315 nephesh > of the poor <34> from

the hand <3027 yad > of evildoers <7489 ra<a< >.

14. Cursed <0779 >arar > [be] the day <3117 yowm > wherein

<0834 >aher > I was born <3205 yalad >: let not the day <3117

yowm > wherein <0834 >aher > my mother <0517 >em > bare <3205

15 Cursed <0779 >arar > [be] the man <0376 >iysh > who <0834

is born <3205 yalad > unto thee; making him very glad <8056

sameach >.

16 And let that man <0376 >iysh > be as the cities <5892 <iyr >

which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > overthrew <2015

haphak >, and repented <5162 nacham > not: and let him hear

<8085 shama< > the cry <2201 za<aq > in the morning <1242 boqer

17 Because <0834 >aher > he slew <4191 muwth > me not from the

womb <7358 rechem >; or that my mother <0517 >em > might have

been <1961 hayah > my grave <6913 qeber >, and her womb <7358

18 Wherefore <4100 mah > came <3318 yatsa> > I forth <3318

labour <5999 <amal > and sorrow <3015 yagown >, that my days

Jeremiah 21

1. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah

when king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > sent <7971

of Melchiah <4441 Malkiyah >, and Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah >

the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah > the priest

<3548 kohen >, saying <0559 >amar >,

2 Enquire <1875 darash >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, of the LORD

3 Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto them,

Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > to Zedekiah <6667

Tsidqiyah >:

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

God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005

and I will assemble <0622 >acaph > them into <0413 >el > the

5 And I myself <0589 >aniy > will fight <3898 lacham > against

you with an outstretched <5186 natah > hand <3027 yad > and with

a strong <2389 chazaq > arm <2220 z@rowa< >, even in anger <0639

6 And I will smite <5221 nakah > the inhabitants <3427 yashab >

great <1419 gadowl > pestilence <1698 deber >.

7 And afterward, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

I will deliver <5414 nathan > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king

neither <3808 lo> > have pity <2550 chamal >, nor <3808 lo> >

8. And unto this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > thou shalt say

1. Woe <1945 howy > be unto the pastors <7462 ra<ah > that

10 For the land <0776 >erets > is full <4390 male> > of

12 Wherefore <3651 ken > their way <1870 derek > shall be unto

13 And I have seen <7200 ra>ah > folly <8604 tiphlah > in the

14 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > also in the prophets <5030 nabiy>

inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof as Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah >.

15 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > concerning

17 They say <0559 >amar > still unto them that despise <5006

Ye shall have <1961 hayah > peace <7965 shalowm >; and they say

18 For who <4310 miy > hath stood <5975 <amad > in the counsel

19 Behold <2009 hinneh >, a whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > of the LORD

20 The anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall not

return <7725 shuwb >, until <5704 <ad > he have executed <6213

21 I have not sent <7971 shalach > these prophets <5030 nabiy>

24 Can any <0376 >iysh > hide <5641 cathar > himself in secret

26 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > shall [this] be in the

28 The prophet <5030 nabiy> > that hath a dream <2472 chalowm >,

32 Behold <2005 hen >, I [am] against <5921 <al > them that

prophesy <5012 naba> > false <8267 sheqer > dreams <2472 chalowm

their lightness <6350 pachazuwth >; yet I sent <7971 shalach >

them not, nor <3808 lo> > commanded <6680 tsavah > them:

therefore they shall not profit <3276 ya<al > this <2088 zeh >

people <5971 <am > at all, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >.

33. And when <3588 kiy > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >,

or <0176 >ow > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, or <0176 >ow > a

priest <3548 kohen >, shall ask <7592 sha>al > thee, saying

<0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > [is] the burden <4853 massa> >

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >? thou shalt then say <0559 >amar >

unto them, What <4100 mah > burden <4853 massa> >? I will even

forsake <5203 natash > you, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >.

34 And [as for] the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, and the priest

<3548 kohen >, and the people <5971 <am >, that shall say <0559

I will even punish <6485 paqad > that man <0376 >iysh > and his

house <1004 bayith >.

35 Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > every <0376

every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > to his brother <0251 >ach

36 And the burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

shall ye mention <2142 zakar > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd >:

for every man's <0376 >iysh > word <1697 dabar > shall be his

our God <0430 >elohiym >.

37 Thus <3541 koh > shalt thou say <0559 >amar > to the prophet

answered <6030 <anah > thee? and, What <4100 mah > hath the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > spoken <1696 dabar >?

38 But since <0518 >im > ye say <0559 >amar >, The burden <4853

<3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;

Because <3282 ya<an > ye say <0559 >amar > this <2088 zeh > word

<1697 dabar >, The burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, and I have sent <7971 shalach > unto you, saying

<0559 >amar >, Ye shall not say <0559 >amar >, The burden <4853

39 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2005 hen >, I, even I, will

utterly forget <5382 nashah > you, and I will forsake <5203

natash > you, and the city <5892 <iyr > that I gave <5414 nathan

<6440 paniym >:

40 And I will bring <5414 nathan > an everlasting <5769 <owlam

Jeremiah 24

1. The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shewed <7200 ra>ah > me, and,

behold <2009 hinneh >, two <8147 sh@nayim > baskets <1736 duwday

after <0310 >achar > that Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar

galah > away captive <1540 galah > Jeconiah <3204 Y@konyah > the

of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, with the carpenters <2796 charash >

and smiths <4525 macger >, from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,

and had brought <0935 bow> > them to Babylon <0894 Babel >.

2 One <0259 >echad > basket <1731 duwd > [had] very <3966 m@<od

<8384 t@>en > [that are] first <1073 bakkurah > ripe: and the

other <0259 >echad > basket <1731 duwd > [had] very <3966 m@<od

could not be eaten <0398 >akal >, they were so bad <7451 ra< >.

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

What <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou, Jeremiah <3414

Yirm@yah >? And I said <0559 >amar >, Figs <8384 t@>en >; the

good <2896 towb > figs <8384 t@>en >, very <3966 m@<od > good

<7451 ra< >, that cannot <3808 lo> > be eaten <0398 >akal >,

they are so evil <7455 roa< >.

4 Again the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

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

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

the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Like these

<0428 >el-leh > good <2896 towb > figs <8384 t@>en >, so <3651

Y@huwdah >, whom <0834 >aher > I have sent <7971 shalach > out

of this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > into the land <0776

towb >.

6 For I will set <7760 suwm > mine eyes <5869 <ayin > upon them

for good <2896 towb >, and I will bring <7725 shuwb > them again

<7725 shuwb > to this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >: and I

will build <1129 banah > them, and not pull <2040 harac > [them]

down; and I will plant <5193 nata< > them, and not pluck <5428

nathash > [them] up.

7 And I will give <5414 nathan > them an heart <3820 leb > to

know <3045 yada< > me, that I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and

they shall be my people <5971 <am >, and I will be their God

<0430 >elohiym >: for they shall return <7725 shuwb > unto me

with their whole <3605 kol > heart <3820 leb >.

8 And as the evil <7451 ra< > figs <8384 t@>en >, which <0834

>aher > cannot <3808 lo> > be eaten <0398 >akal >, they are so

evil <7455 roa< >; surely <3588 kiy > thus <3541 koh > saith

<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, So <3651 ken > will I

give <5414 nathan > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428

9 And I will deliver <5414 nathan > them to be removed <2189

za<avah > into all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of

the earth <0776 >erets > for [their] hurt <7451 ra< >, [to be] a

them.

10 And I will send <7971 shalach > the sword <2719 chereb >,

the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and the pestilence <1698 deber >,

among them, till <5704 <ad > they be consumed <8552 tamam > from

8. Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

31 A noise <7588 sha>own > shall come <0935 bow> > [even] to

36 A voice <6963 qowl > of the cry <6818 tsa<aqah > of the

7. So the priests <3548 kohen > and the prophets <5030 nabiy> >

and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > heard <8085 shama< >

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > speaking <1696 dabar > these <0428 >el-

8 Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Jeremiah <3414

9 Why <4069 madduwa< > hast thou prophesied <5012 naba> > in

the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559

10 When the princes <8269 sar > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > heard

<8085 shama< > these <0428 >el-leh > things <1697 dabar >, then

they came <5927 <alah > up from the king's <4428 melek > house

pethach > of the new <2319 chadash > gate <8179 sha<ar > of the

LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > [house].

11 Then spake <0559 >amar > the priests <3548 kohen > and the

prophets <5030 nabiy> > unto the princes <8269 sar > and to all

<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, saying <0559 >amar >, This

for he hath prophesied <5012 naba> > against <0413 >el > this

<2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, as ye have heard <8085 shama< >

with your ears <0241 >ozen >.

12 Then spake <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto all

<3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > and to all <3605 kol > the

people <5971 <am >, saying <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah

the words <1697 dabar > that ye have heard <8085 shama< >.

13 Therefore now <6258 <attah > amend <3190 yatab > your ways

shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your

pronounced <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al > you.

14 As for me, behold <2005 hen >, I [am] in your hand <3027 yad

15 But know <3045 yada< > ye for certain <3045 yada< >, that if

<0518 >im > ye put me to death <4191 muwth >, ye shall surely

<3588 kiy > bring <5414 nathan > innocent <5355 naqiy > blood

<1818 dam > upon yourselves, and upon this <2063 zo>th > city

<5892 <iyr >, and upon the inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof:

for of a truth <0571 >emeth > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent

16. Then said <0559 >amar > the princes <8269 sar > and all

<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > unto the priests <3548 kohen

spoken <1696 dabar > to us in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >.

17 Then rose <6965 quwm > up certain <0582 >enowsh > of the

elders <2205 zaqen > of the land <0776 >erets >, and spake <0559

18 Micah <4320 Miykayah > the Morasthite <4183 Morashtiy >

the mountain <2022 har > of the house <1004 bayith > as the high

19 Did Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah > and all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > put

repented <5162 nacham > him of the evil <7451 ra< > which <0834

20 And there was also <1571 gam > a man <0376 >iysh > that

22 And Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the king <4428 melek >

10. Then Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >

took <3947 laqach > the yoke <4133 mowtah > from off <5921 <al >

the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah's <3414 Yirm@yah > neck

saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3602 kakah > saith <0559 >amar >

15 Then said <0559 >amar > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah
