ate. Shall I make something

Which remain among the graves, and
lodge in the monuments, which eat
swine’s flesh, and
broth of
abominable things is in their vessels;
He that killeth an ox is as if he
slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an
oblation, as if he offered
swine’s blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an
idol.
Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their
abominations.
Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who slays a man;
whoever sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever presents a grain offering is like one who offers pig’s blood;
whoever offers
frankincense is like one who blesses an
idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways and delighted in their
abominations.
They that
sanctify themselves, and
purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating
swine’s flesh, and the
abomination, and the
mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

consecrate and
purify themselves to enter the groves—to follow one in the center of those who eat the flesh of
swine and
vermin and rats—will perish together,” declares the LORD.

wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou

mourn, and the heavens
above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not

abomination they have committed? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to
blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I
punish them, they will
collapse,” says the LORD.
And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

abominations in the house which is called by my name, to
pollute it.

abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have
defiled it.

disaster that they cannot escape. They will cry out to Me, but I will not
listen to them.

plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore
doth the way of the wicked
prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very

plead before You. Yet

contend with You: Why does the way of the wicked
prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?

inherit; Behold, I will
pluck them out of their land, and
pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

bequeathed to My people Israel, I am
about to
uproot them from their land, and I will

wander; they have not restrained their feet. So the LORD does not accept them; He will now remember their guilt and call their sins to account.”
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that
prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
Therefore this is what the LORD says
about the prophets who
prophesy in My name: I did not send them, yet they say, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ By sword and famine these very prophets will meet their end!
If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine!
yea, both the prophet and the priest go
about into a land that they know not.
If I go out to the country, I see those slain by the sword; if I enter the city, I see those
ravaged by famine! For both prophet and priest travel to a land they do not know.’”
For who shall have
pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall
bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?

about your
welfare?
Their widows are increased to me
above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a
spoiler at
noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at
noon against the mothers of young men. I will suddenly bring upon them
anguish and dismay.
And first I will
recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have
defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their
detestable and
abominable things.

defiled My land with the
carcasses of their
detestable idols, and they have filled My inheritance with their
abominations.”

astonishment, and an
hissing, and perpetual desolations.

summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant

horror and contempt, an
everlasting desolation.
Did
Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and

repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we
procure great evil against our souls.
Did
Hezekiah king of Judah or
anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did
Hezekiah not fear the LORD and seek His favor, and did not the LORD relent of the
disaster He had pronounced against them? But we are
about to bring great
harm on ourselves!”

reject all of Israel’s descendants because of all they have done,” declares the LORD.

desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

about which you are saying, ‘It is a
desolation, without man or beast; it has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.’

buy fields for money, and
subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places

forgive their iniquity and their sin.”

calamity about which I
warned them but they did not
listen.”

hate.’

desolation, and an
astonishment, and a
curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
This is the word of the LORD about the nations—the word that came to Jeremiah the prophet

apace, and look not back: for fear was round
about, saith the LORD.

terrified, they are retreating; their warriors are defeated, they
flee in
haste without looking back; terror is on every side!” declares the LORD.

All ye that are
about him,
bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!

derision and a dismaying to all them
about him.

shattered it is! How they

Put
yourselves in
array against Babylon round
about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her,
spare no arrows: for she hath

Spare no arrows! For she has
sinned against the LORD.
Shout against her round
about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the
vengeance of the LORD: take
vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
Raise a war cry against her on every side! She has thrown up her hands in surrender; her towers have fallen; her walls are
torn down. Since this is the
vengeance of the LORD, take out your
vengeance upon her; as she has done, do the same to her.
Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round

Summon the archers against Babylon, all who string the bow.
Encamp all around her; let no one escape. Repay her according to her deeds; do to her as she has done. For she has
defied the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
And the most proud shall
stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will
kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall
devour all round
about him.
