neighbor, but in his heart he sets a
trap for him.

workman,
with the

with the noise of a great
tumult he hath
kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.

plead before You. Yet about Your judgments I wish to
contend with You: Why does the way of the wicked
prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?

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.

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.”

with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you
compete with horses? If you
stumble in a peaceful land, how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?

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

with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every
bottle shall be filled
with wine?

ravaged by famine! For both prophet and priest travel to a land they do not know.’”

forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am

forsaken Me, declares the LORD. You have turned your back. So I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you; I am
weary of showing
compassion.
And I will
fan them
with a
fan in the gates of the land; I will
bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.
I will
scatter them
with a
winnowing fork at the gates of the land. I will
bereave and destroy My people who have not turned from their ways.

intercede with your enemy in your time of trouble, in your time of distress.

within all your borders.

with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is
kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.

enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for My anger will
kindle a fire that will burn against you.”
I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor
rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me
with indignation.

with the band of revelers, nor did I

with indignation.

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

terrified, but do not let me be
terrified. Bring upon them the day of
disaster and
shatter them
with double destruction.

with you as this
potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the
potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

potter treats his clay? Just like clay in the
potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.

smite him
with the tongue, and let us not give
heed to any of his words.
Then some said, “Come, let us make plans against Jeremiah, for the law will never be lost to the priest, nor counsel to the wise, nor an
oracle to the prophet. Come, let us
denounce him and pay no
heed to any of his words.”

recompensed for good? for they have
digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus
with them in the time of thine anger.

wipe out their guilt or
blot out their sin from Your sight. Let them be overthrown before You; deal
with them in the time of Your anger.
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;

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—something I never commanded or mentioned, nor did it even enter My mind.

bottle in the sight of the men that go
with thee,

thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them
captive into Babylon, and shall
slay them
with the sword.

yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies before your very eyes. And I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will carry them away to Babylon and put them to the sword.
Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was
weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

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.

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.

repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the
shouting at
noontide;

without compassion. May he hear an outcry in the morning and a battle cry at
noon,
Because he
slew me not from the
womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her
womb to be always great
with me.
because he did not kill me in the
womb so that my mother might have been my grave, and her
womb forever enlarged.
Wherefore came I forth out of the
womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed
with shame?
Why did I come out of the
womb to see only trouble and sorrow, and to end my days in shame?
