that did righteousness, and

ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.

that does what is right and does not
forsake the justice of their God. They ask Me for righteous judgments; they delight in the nearness of God.”
Is it such a fast
that I have chosen? a day for a man to
afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a
bulrush, and to spread
sackcloth and ashes under him?
wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

that brought them up out of the sea with the
shepherd of his flock? where is he

adversaries,
that the nations may
tremble at thy presence!

boil, to make Your name known to Your enemies, so
that the nations will
tremble at Your presence!

I have spread out my hands all the day unto a
rebellious people, which walketh in a way
that was not good, after their own thoughts;
All day long I have held out My hands to an
obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,
A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
to a people who continually
provoke Me to My face, sacrificing in the gardens and burning incense on altars of brick,
Which say, Stand by
thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire
that burneth all the day.

yourself; do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’ Such people are smoke in My nostrils, a fire
that burns all day long.

But ye are they
that forsake the LORD,
that forget my holy mountain,
that prepare a table for
that troop, and
that furnish the drink offering unto
that number.
But you who
forsake the LORD, who
forget My holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune and fill
bowls of mixed wine for
Destiny,
Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
I will
destine you for the sword, and you will all
kneel down to be slaughtered, because I called and you did not answer, I spoke and you did not
listen; you did evil in My sight and chose
that in which I did not delight.”
That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall
bless himself in the God of truth; and he
that sweareth in the earth shall
swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are
hid from mine eyes.

whoever takes an oath in the land will
swear by the God of truth. For the former troubles will be forgotten and hidden from My sight.
There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man
that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the
sinner being an hundred years old shall be
accursed.

nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered
accursed.

footstool: where is the house
that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

repose be?

contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word.
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.
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
So I will choose their punishment and I will bring terror upon them, because I called and no one answered, I spoke and no one
listened. But they did evil in My sight and chose
that in which I did not delight.”

glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be
ashamed.
You who
tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: “Your brothers who
hate you and
exclude you because of My name have said, ‘Let the LORD be
glorified that we may see your joy!’ But they will be put to shame.”

glad with her, all ye
that love her:
rejoice for joy with her, all ye
that mourn for her:
That ye may
suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations;
that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
so
that you may
nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you may drink deeply and delight
yourselves in her glorious abundance.
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.
“Those who
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.

And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those
that escape of them unto the nations, to
Tarshish,
Pul, and Lud,
that draw the bow, to
Tubal, and
Javan, to the isles
afar off,
that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to
Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to
Tubal,
Javan, and the islands far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. So they will
proclaim My glory among the nations.
And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come to worship before Me,” says the LORD.
And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men
that have
transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be
quenched; and they shall be an
abhorring unto all flesh.
“As they go forth, they will see the corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their worm will never die, their fire will never be
quenched, and they will be a
horror to all mankind.”
The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all
that I shall send thee, and
whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
But the LORD told me: “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ For to
everyone I send you, you must go, and all
that I command you, you must speak.
Thou therefore
gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all
that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I
confound thee before them.
Get
yourself ready. Stand up and tell them everything
that I command you. Do not be
intimidated by them, or I will
terrify you before them.

espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land
that was not sown.

that this is what the LORD says: ‘I remember the devotion of your youth, your love as a
bride, how you followed Me in the wilderness, in a land not sown.
Israel was
holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all
that devour him shall
offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
Israel was holy to the LORD, the firstfruits of His harvest. All who
devoured her found themselves guilty;
disaster came upon them,’” declares the LORD.
Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
This is what the LORD says: “What fault did your fathers find in Me
that they
strayed so far from Me, and followed worthless idols, and became worthless themselves?
Neither said they, Where is the LORD
that brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of
drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land
that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
They did not ask, ‘Where is the LORD who brought us up from the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and pits, a land of
drought and darkness, a land where no one travels and no one lives?’
The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they
that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also
transgressed against me, and the prophets
prophesied by
Baal, and walked after things
that do not profit.
The priests did not ask, ‘Where is the LORD?’ The experts in the law no longer knew Me, and the leaders rebelled against Me. The prophets
prophesied by
Baal and followed useless idols.
Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for
that which
doth not profit.
Has a nation ever changed its gods, though they are no gods at all? Yet My people have exchanged their Glory for useless idols.

forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and
hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns,
that can hold no water.
“For My people have committed two evils: They have
forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and they have
dug their own cisterns— broken cisterns
that cannot hold water.
Hast thou not procured this unto
thyself, in
that thou hast
forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?
Have you not brought this on
yourself by
forsaking the LORD your God when He led you in the way?
Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see
that it is an evil thing and bitter,
that thou hast
forsaken the LORD thy God, and
that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
Your own evil will discipline you; your own
apostasies will
reprimand you. Consider and
realize how evil and bitter it is for you to
forsake the LORD your God and to have no fear of Me,” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.
A wild
ass used to the wilderness,
that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they
that seek her will not
weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.

donkey at home in the wilderness,
sniffing the wind in the heat of her desire. Who can restrain her passion? All who seek her need not
weary themselves; in mating season they will find her.
But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.

Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not
prosper in them.

that place with your hands on your head, for the LORD has rejected those you trust; you will not
prosper by their help.”
They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not
that land be greatly
polluted? but thou hast played the
harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
“If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him to marry another, can he ever return to her? Would not such a land be completely
defiled? But you have played the
harlot with many lovers— and you would return to Me?” declares the LORD.
The LORD said also unto me in the days of
Josiah the king, Hast thou seen
that which
backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the
harlot.
Now in the days of King
Josiah, the LORD said to me, “Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every green tree to
prostitute herself there.
And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her
treacherous sister Judah saw it.
I thought that after she had done all these things, she would return to Me. But she did not return, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it.
And I saw, when for all the causes whereby
backsliding Israel committed
adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of
divorce; yet her
treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the
harlot also.
She saw
that because faithless Israel had committed
adultery, I gave her a
certificate of
divorce and sent her away. Yet
that unfaithful sister Judah had no fear and
prostituted herself as well.
And it came to pass through the lightness of her
whoredom,
that she
defiled the land, and committed
adultery with stones and with stocks.
Only acknowledge thine iniquity,
that thou hast
transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.
Only acknowledge your guilt, that you have rebelled against the LORD your God. You have scattered your favors to foreign gods under every green tree and have not obeyed My voice,’” declares the LORD.
And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
“In those days, when you multiply and increase in the land,” declares the LORD, “they will no longer
discuss the ark of the covenant of the LORD. It will never come to mind, and no one will remember it or miss it, nor will another one be made.
At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
At
that time Jerusalem will be called The Throne of the LORD, and all the nations will be gathered in Jerusalem to honor the name of the LORD. They will no longer follow the
stubbornness of their evil hearts.
In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave to your fathers as an inheritance.
For shame hath
devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
From our youth, that shameful god has consumed what our fathers have worked for— their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters.
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my
fury come forth like fire, and burn
that none can
quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and remove the foreskins of your hearts, O men of Judah and people of Jerusalem. Otherwise, My wrath will break out like fire and burn with no one to
extinguish it, because of your evil deeds.”
