come, that I will do judgment upon the
graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.

come against her,” declares the LORD.

afar off, and let Jerusalem
come into your mind.

come to mind.”
We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are
come into the
sanctuaries of the LORD’S house.

ashamed because we have heard reproach; disgrace has covered our faces, because foreigners have entered the holy places of the LORD’s house.”
Wherefore, behold, the days
come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her
graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall
groan.

coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will
punish her idols, and throughout her land the wounded will
groan.

spoiler is
come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.
For a destroyer is
coming against her— against Babylon. Her warriors will be captured, and their bows will be broken, for the LORD is a God of
retribution; He will repay in full.
The word which Jeremiah the prophet
commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with
Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.
This is the message that Jeremiah the prophet gave to the
quartermaster Seraiah son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went to Babylon with King
Zedekiah of Judah in the fourth year of
Zedekiah’s reign.

aloud,

pillar was eighteen cubits; and a
fillet of twelve cubits did

sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to
comfort her: all her friends have dealt
treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
She weeps
aloud in the night, with tears upon her cheeks. Among all her lovers there is no one to
comfort her. All her friends have
betrayed her; they have become her enemies.
The ways of
Zion do
mourn, because none
come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are
desolate: her priests
sigh, her virgins are
afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
The roads to
Zion mourn, because no one
comes to her appointed feasts. All her gates are deserted; her priests
groan, her maidens
grieve, and she herself is bitter with
anguish.
Her
filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no
comforter. O LORD, behold my
affliction: for the enemy hath
magnified himself.
Her uncleanness stains her skirts; she did not consider her end. Her
downfall was
astounding; there was no one to
comfort her. Look, O LORD, on my
affliction, for the enemy has triumphed!
The
adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou
didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
The
adversary has seized all her treasures. For she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary— those You had forbidden to enter Your assembly.
The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are
wreathed, and
come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
My transgressions are bound into a yoke,
knit together by His hand; they are
draped over my neck, and the Lord has broken my strength. He has delivered me into the hands of those I cannot
withstand.
For these things I
weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the
comforter that should
relieve my soul is far from me: my children are
desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
For these things I
weep; my eyes flow with tears. For there is no one nearby to
comfort me, no one to revive my soul. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.
Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to
comfort her: the LORD hath
commanded concerning Jacob, that his
adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a
menstruous woman among them.
Zion stretches out her hands, but there is no one to
comfort her. The LORD has decreed against Jacob that his neighbors become his foes. Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.

command.
Listen, all you people; look upon my suffering. My young men and maidens have gone into captivity.
They have heard that I
sigh: there is none to
comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are
glad that thou hast done it: thou
wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me.
People have heard my
groaning, but there is no one to
comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are
glad that You have caused it. May You bring the day You have
announced, so that they may become like me.
Let all their wickedness
come before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is
faint.

come before You, and deal with them as You have dealt with me because of all my transgressions. For my groans are many, and my heart is
faint.
What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I
liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may
comfort thee, O virgin daughter of
Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can
heal thee?
What can I say for you? To what can I
compare you, O Daughter of Jerusalem? To what can I
liken you, that I may
console you, O Virgin Daughter of
Zion? For your wound is as deep as the sea. Who can ever
heal you?
The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had
commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not
pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to
rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine
adversaries.
The LORD has done what He
planned; He has accomplished His decree, which He ordained in days of old; He has overthrown you without
pity. He has let the enemy
gloat over you and
exalted the horn of your foes.
The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not
pitied.
Both young and old lie together in the dust of the streets. My young men and maidens have fallen by the sword. You have slain them in the day of Your anger; You have slaughtered them without
compassion.
He hath builded against me, and
compassed me with gall and
travail.
He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and
hardship.
It is of the LORD’S
mercies that we are not consumed, because his
compassions fail not.
Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His
mercies never fail.
But though he cause grief, yet will he have
compassion according to the multitude of his
mercies.
Even if He causes grief, He will show
compassion according to His abundant loving devotion.
Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has ordained it?
Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
Do not both
adversity and good
come from the mouth of the Most High?
Wherefore
doth a living man
complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
The precious sons of
Zion,
comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as
earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the
potter!
How the precious sons of
Zion, once worth their weight in pure gold, are now esteemed as jars of clay, the work of a
potter’s hands!
The hands of the
pitiful women have
sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
The hands of
compassionate women have
cooked their own children, who became their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
They
hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is
come.
They
stalked our every step, so that we could not walk in our streets. Our end drew near, our time ran out, for our end had
come!
The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of
Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of
Edom; he will discover thy sins.
O Daughter of
Zion, your punishment is
complete; He will not
prolong your exile. But He will
punish your iniquity, O Daughter of
Edom; He will
expose your sins.
Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
Remember, O LORD, what has happened to us. Look and see our disgrace!
We have
drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
We must
buy the water we drink; our wood
comes at a price.
And I looked, and, behold, a
whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of
amber, out of the midst of the fire.
I looked and saw a
whirlwind coming from the north, a great cloud with fire
flashing back and forth and brilliant light all around it. In the center of the fire was a
gleam like
amber,
Again, When a righteous man
doth turn from his righteousness, and
commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him
warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Now if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and
commits iniquity, and I put a
stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not
warn him, he will die in his sin, and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for his blood.
And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
When you have completed these days, lie down again, but on your right side, and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah. I have assigned to you 40 days, a day for each year.
And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt
bake it with dung that
cometh out of man, in their sight.
And you shall eat the food as you would a barley
cake, after you
bake it over dried human
excrement in the sight of the people.”
Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
Again, take a few of these, throw them into the fire, and burn them. From there a fire will spread to the whole house of Israel.
Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my
fury to rest upon them, and I will be
comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my
fury in them.
And when My anger is spent and I have
vented My wrath against them, I will be
appeased. And when I have spent My wrath on them, they will know that I, the LORD, in My zeal have spoken.
And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations
whither they shall be carried
captives, because I am broken with their
whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a
whoring after their idols: and they shall
lothe themselves for the evils which they have
committed in all their abominations.
Then in the nations to which they have been carried
captive, your survivors will remember Me—how I have been
grieved by their
adulterous hearts that turned away from Me, and by their eyes that
lusted after idols. So they will
loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their abominations.
Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
“O son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel: ‘The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
Now is the end
come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will
recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
The end is now upon you, and I will
unleash My anger against you. I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
The end has
come! The end has
come! It has
roused itself against you. Behold, it has
come!
The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
Doom has
come to you, O inhabitants of the land. The time has
come; the day is near; there is
panic on the mountains instead of shouts of joy.
Behold the day, behold, it is
come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath
blossomed, pride hath
budded.
The time is
come, the day draweth near: let not the
buyer rejoice, nor the seller
mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
The time has
come; the day has arrived. Let the
buyer not
rejoice and the seller not
mourn, for wrath is upon the whole multitude.
Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
Anguish is
coming! They will seek peace, but find none.
Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
Disaster upon
disaster will
come, and
rumor after
rumor. Then they will seek a vision from a prophet, but instruction from the priests will perish, as will counsel from the elders.
He said
furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel
committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what they are doing—the great abominations that the house of Israel is
committing—to drive Me far from My sanctuary? Yet you will see even greater abominations.”
And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
Then He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations they are
committing here.”
He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
Again, He told me, “You will see them
committing even greater abominations.”
Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they
commit the abominations which they
commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to
provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to
commit the abominations they are practicing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and continually
provoke Me to anger? Look, they are even putting the branch to their nose!
And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s
inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the
brasen altar.
And I saw six men
coming from the direction of the Upper Gate, which faces north, each with a weapon of slaughter in his hand. With them was another man clothed in linen who had a writing
kit at his side. And they came in and stood beside the bronze altar.
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that
sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
“Go throughout the city of Jerusalem,” said the LORD, “and put a mark on the foreheads of the men
sighing and
groaning over all the abominations
committed there.”
Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but
come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
Slaughter the old men, the young men and maidens, the women and children; but do not go near
anyone who has the mark. Now begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple.
And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the
inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast
commanded me.
Then the man clothed in linen with the writing
kit at his side reported back, “I have done as You
commanded.”
And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
When the LORD
commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from within the
wheelwork, from among the
cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.
And it came to pass, when I
prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and
cried with a loud voice, and said,
Ah Lord GOD!
wilt thou make a full end of the
remnant of Israel?
Now as I was
prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and
cried out in a loud voice, “Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the
remnant of Israel to a
complete end?”
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’
And they shall
come thither, and they shall take away all the
detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
When they return to it, they will remove all its
detestable things and all its abominations.
And I did so as I was
commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I
digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the
twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
So I did as I was
commanded. I brought out my bags for exile by day, and in the evening I
dug through the wall by hand. I took my belongings out at
dusk, carrying them on my shoulder as they watched.
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the
pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen
whither they
come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
But I will
spare a few of them from sword and famine and plague, so that in the nations to which they go, they can recount all their abominations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall
come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O
rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
because I, the LORD, will speak whatever word I speak, and it will be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, O
rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass, declares the Lord GOD.’”
Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he
seeth is for many days to
come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.
“Son of man, take note that the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many years from now; he prophesies about the distant future.’
Say unto them which
daub it with untempered
morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a
stormy wind shall
rend it.
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Woe to the women that
sew pillows to all armholes, and make
kerchiefs upon the head of every
stature to
hunt souls! Will ye
hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that
come unto you?
and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says:
Woe to the women who
sew magic charms on their wrists and make veils for the heads of people of every height, in order to
ensnare their souls. Will you
ensnare the souls of My people but preserve your own?
Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
Therefore speak to them and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When any
Israelite sets up idols in his heart and puts a wicked
stumbling block before his face, and then
comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him according to his great
idolatry,
For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and
cometh to a prophet to
enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
For when any
Israelite or any foreigner dwelling in Israel separates himself from Me, sets up idols in his heart, and puts a wicked
stumbling block before his face, and then
comes to the prophet to inquire of Me, I the LORD will answer him Myself.
Yet, behold, therein shall be left a
remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall
come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be
comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
Yet, behold, some survivors will be left in it—sons and daughters who will be brought out. They will
come out to you, and when you see their conduct and actions, you will be
comforted regarding the
disaster I have brought upon Jerusalem—all that I have brought upon it.
And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
They will bring you
consolation when you see their conduct and actions, and you will know that it was not without cause that I have done all these things within it,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
And I will make the land
desolate, because they have
committed a
trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
Thus I will make the land
desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
None eye
pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have
compassion upon thee; but thou
wast cast out in the open field, to the
lothing of thy person, in the day that thou
wast born.
No one cared enough for you to do even one of these things out of
compassion for you. Instead, you were thrown out into the open field, because you were
despised on the day of your birth.
I have caused thee to multiply as the
bud of the field, and thou hast increased and
waxen great, and thou art
come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou
wast naked and bare.
I made you
thrive like a plant of the field. You grew up and
matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.
And thy
renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my
comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
Your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect in the
splendor I bestowed on you, declares the Lord GOD.
And of thy garments thou
didst take, and deckedst thy high places with
divers colours, and playedst the
harlot thereupon: the like things shall not
come, neither shall it be so.
You took some of your garments and made colorful high places for
yourself, and on them you
prostituted yourself. Such things should not have happened; never should they have occurred!
Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to
thyself images of men, and
didst commit whoredom with them,
You also took the fine
jewelry of gold and silver I had given you, and you made male idols with which to
prostitute yourself.
Thou hast also
committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to
provoke me to anger.
But as a wife that
committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
You
adulterous wife! You receive strangers instead of your own husband!
They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may
come unto thee on every side for thy
whoredom.
Men give gifts to all their prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You
bribed them to
come to you from everywhere for your
illicit favors.
And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
So your
prostitution is the opposite of that of other women: No one
solicited your favors, and you paid a fee instead of receiving one; so you are the very opposite!
Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast
hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
therefore I will surely gather all the lovers with whom you found pleasure, all those you loved and all those you
hated. I will gather them against you from all around and
expose you before them, and they will see you
completely naked.
And I will judge thee, as women that break
wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in
fury and jealousy.
And I will sentence you to the punishment of women who
commit adultery and those who shed blood; so I will bring upon you the wrath of your
bloodshed and jealousy.
They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
They will bring a
mob against you, who will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast
fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will
recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not
commit this
lewdness above all thine abominations.
Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but
enraged Me with all these things, I will surely bring your deeds down upon your own head, declares the Lord GOD. Have you not
committed this
lewdness on top of all your other abominations?
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister
Sodom, pride,
fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she
strengthen the hand of the poor and
needy.
Now this was the iniquity of your sister
Sodom: She and her daughters were
arrogant, overfed, and
complacent; they did not help the poor and
needy.
And they were
haughty, and
committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
Thus they were
haughty and
committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them, as you have seen.
Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
Furthermore, Samaria did not
commit half the sins you did. You have multiplied your abominations beyond theirs, and all the abominations you have
committed have made your sisters appear righteous.
Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast
committed more
abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou:
yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
So now you must bear your disgrace, since you have brought
justification for your sisters. For they appear more righteous than you, because your sins were more
vile than theirs. So you too must bear your shame and disgrace, since you have made your sisters appear righteous.
That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
So you will bear your disgrace and be
ashamed of all you did to
comfort them.
Yea, behold, being planted, shall it
prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.
Even if it is
transplanted, will it
flourish? Will it not
completely wither when the east wind strikes? It will wither on the bed where it
sprouted.’”
Say now to the
rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is
