aright: no man
repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done?

Yea, the
stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the
turtle and the
crane and the
swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.

turtledove, the swift, and the
thrush keep their time of
migration, but My people do not know the requirements of the LORD.

inherit them: for
every one from the least
even unto the greatest is given to
covetousness, from the prophet
even unto the priest
every one dealeth falsely.

greedy for gain; from prophet to priest, all practice
deceit.
Were they
ashamed when they had committed
abomination?
nay, they were not at all
ashamed, neither could they
blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their
visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.

ashamed of the
abomination they have committed? No, they have no shame at all; they do not

blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I
punish them, they will
collapse, says the LORD.

heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for

supplant, and
every neighbour will walk with slanders.

committing iniquity.

wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.

every one her neighbour
lamentation.

wail, and one another to
lament.

reaper, with no one to gather it.”

graven image: for his

molten images are a
fraud, and there is no breath in them.
Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:

For I earnestly
protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt,
even unto this day, rising early and
protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
For from the time I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt until
today, I strongly
warned them again and again, saying, ‘Obey My voice.’
Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.
Yet they would not obey or
incline their ears, but each one followed the
stubbornness of his evil heart. So I brought on them all the curses of this covenant I had commanded them to follow but they did not keep.”
For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing,
even altars to burn incense unto

Baal—are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.’

mourn, and the herbs of
every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.

mourn and the grass of
every field be
withered? Because of the evil of its residents, the animals and birds have been swept away, for the people have said, “He cannot see what our end will be.”
For
even thy brethren, and the house of thy father,
even they have dealt
treacherously with thee;
yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.

even they have
betrayed you;
even they have
cried aloud against you. Do not trust them, though they speak well of you.

devour from the one end of the land
even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.

plucked them out I will return, and have

compassion on them and return each one to his inheritance and to his land.
This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall
even be as this

stubbornness of their own hearts, and who go after other gods to serve and worship them, they will be like this loincloth—of no use at all.

every bottle shall be filled with wine?

Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land,
even the kings that sit upon David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with
drunkenness.
then you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am going to fill with
drunkenness all who live in this land—the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the people of Jerusalem.

dash them one against another,
even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not

pity or
compassion to keep Me from destroying them.’”

Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of
strife and a man of
contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on
usury, nor men have lent to me on
usury; yet
every one of them
doth curse me.

strife and conflict in all the land. I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet
everyone curses me.
Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the
spoil without price, and that for all thy sins,

mourning, neither go to
lament nor
bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD,
even lovingkindness and
mercies.
Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal. Do not go to
mourn or show sympathy, for I have removed from this people My peace, My loving devotion, and My
compassion,” declares the LORD.
Neither shall men
tear themselves for them in
mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of
consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
No food will be offered to comfort those who
mourn the dead; not
even a cup of
consolation will be given for the loss of a father or mother.

stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying Me.

hunt them from
every mountain, and from
every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

fishermen, declares the LORD, and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will
hunt them down on
every mountain and hill,
even from the clefts of the rocks.

heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have
kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for
ever.

reins,
even to give
every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in
chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for
ever.

chariots and on horses with their officials, along with the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited
forever.
But if ye will not
hearken unto me to
hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden,
even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I
kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall
devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be
quenched.
But if you do not
listen to Me to keep the Sabbath day holy by not carrying a load while entering the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will
kindle an
unquenchable fire in its gates to
consume the citadels of Jerusalem.’”

device against you: return ye now
every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
Now therefore, tell the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I am
planning a
disaster for you and
devising a plan against you. Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways, and correct your ways and deeds.’
And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
But they will reply, ‘It is hopeless. We will follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the
stubbornness of his evil heart.’”
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very

Will a man leave the snow of
Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be
forsaken?
Does the snow of
Lebanon ever leave its rocky slopes? Or do its cool waters flowing from a distance
ever run dry?
Because they have
forsaken me, and have
estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
because they have abandoned Me and made this a foreign place. They have burned incense in this place to other gods that neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have ever known. They have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
They have built also the high places of
Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto
Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:

Baal on which to burn their children in the fire as offerings to
Baal—something I never commanded or mentioned, nor did it
even enter My mind.
And I will make this city
desolate, and an
hissing;
every one that passeth thereby shall be
astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat
every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness,
wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall
straiten them.
I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh in the siege and distress inflicted on them by their enemies who seek their lives.’
And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts;
Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a
potter’s vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall
bury them in
Tophet, till there be no place to
bury.
and you are to
proclaim to them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I will
shatter this nation and this city, like one
shatters a
potter’s
jar that can never again be repaired. They will
bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room to
bury them.
Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and
even make this city as
Tophet:
This is what I will do to this place and to its residents, declares the LORD. I will make this city like Topheth.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have
hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.

every disaster I have pronounced against them, because they have
stiffened their necks so as not to
heed My words.’”
O LORD, thou hast
deceived me, and I was
deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in
derision daily,
every one mocketh me.
For I heard the
defaming of many, fear on
every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my
halting, saying,
Peradventure he will be
enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our
revenge on him.
For I have heard the
whispering of many: “Terror is on
every side! Report him; let us report him!” All my trusted friends watch for my fall: “Perhaps he will be
deceived so that we may prevail against him and take our
vengeance upon him.”
But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall
stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly
ashamed; for they shall not
prosper: their
everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
But the LORD is with me like a
fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will
stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an
everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.
And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm,
even in anger, and in
fury, and in great wrath.

fury, and great wrath.
O house of David, thus saith the LORD;
Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is
spoiled out of the hand of the
oppressor, lest my
fury go out like fire, and burn that none can
quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
O house of David, this is what the LORD says: ‘
Administer justice
every morning, and
rescue the
victim of
robbery from the hand of his
oppressor, or My wrath will go forth like fire and burn with no one to
extinguish it because of their evil deeds.
But I will
punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will
kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall
devour all things round about it.
I will
punish you as your deeds deserve, declares the LORD. I will
kindle a fire in your forest that will
consume everything around you.’”
And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.

As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of
Jehoiakim king of Judah were the
signet upon my right hand, yet would I
pluck thee thence;
“As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “
even if you, Coniah son of
Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a
signet ring on My right hand, I would pull you off.
And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
In fact, I will hand you over to those you
dread, who want to take your life—to
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to the Chaldeans.
For both prophet and priest are
profane;
yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.

Wherefore their way shall be unto them as
slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them,
even the year of their
visitation, saith the LORD.
“Therefore their path will become
slick; they will be driven away into the darkness and fall into it. For I will bring
disaster upon them in the year of their punishment,” declares the LORD.
They say still unto them that
despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto
every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
They keep saying to those who
despise Me, ‘The LORD says that you will have peace,’ and to
everyone who walks in the
stubbornness of his own heart, ‘No
harm will come to you.’
Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with
fury, a
whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.
Which think to cause my people to
forget my name by their dreams which they tell
every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for
Baal.
They suppose the dreams that they tell one another will make My people
forget My name, just as their fathers
forgot My name through the worship of
Baal.
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that
steal my words
every one from his neighbour.
“Therefore behold,” declares the LORD, “I am against the prophets who
steal from one another words they attribute to Me.”
And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will
even forsake you, saith the LORD.
“Now when this people or a prophet or priest asks you, ‘What is the burden of the LORD?’ you are to say to them, ‘What burden? I will
forsake you, declares the LORD.’
And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will
even punish that man and his house.
As for the prophet or priest or
anyone who claims, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ I will
punish that man and his household.
Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
This is what each man is to say to his friend and to his brother: ‘What has the LORD answered?’ or ‘What has the LORD spoken?’
And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for
every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have
perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
But refer no more to the burden of the LORD, for each man’s word becomes the burden, so that you
pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of Hosts, our God.
Therefore, behold, I,
even I, will utterly
forget you, and I will
forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:
therefore I will surely
forget you and will cast you out of My presence, both you and the city that I gave to you and your fathers.
And I will bring an
everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
One
basket had very good figs,
even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other
basket had very
naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
One
basket had very good figs, like those that
ripen early, but the other
basket contained very poor figs, so bad they could not be eaten.
From the
thirteenth year of
Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah,
even unto this day, that is the three and
twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not
hearkened.
“From the
thirteenth year of
Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—twenty-three years—the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not
listened.
They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
The prophets told you, ‘Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and deeds, and you can dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and your fathers
forever and
ever.
Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an
astonishment, and an
hissing, and perpetual desolations.
behold, I will
summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations. So I will
devote them to destruction and make them an object of
horror and contempt, an
everlasting desolation.
And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will
punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
But when seventy years are complete, I will
punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it an
everlasting desolation.

even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath
prophesied against all the nations.
I will bring upon that land all the words I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has
prophesied against all the nations.
A noise shall come
even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will
plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.
The
tumult will resound to the ends of the earth because the LORD brings a charge against the nations. He brings judgment on all mankind and puts the wicked to the sword,’” declares the LORD.
And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth
even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be
lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
Those slain by the LORD on that day will be spread from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be
mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like dung lying on the ground.
If so be they will
hearken, and turn
every man from his evil way, that I may
repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.
Perhaps they will
listen and turn—each from his evil way of life—so that I may relent of the
disaster I am
planning to bring upon them because of the evil of their deeds.
To
hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not
hearkened;
and if you do not
listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have sent you again and again
even though you did not
listen,
Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
and as soon as he had finished telling all the people
everything the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people seized him,
shouting, “You must surely die!
And now have I given all these lands into the hand of
