1 The word 1697 that came to Jeremiah 3414 from the LORD 3068, saying 559,
2 Hear 8085 ye the words 1697 of this covenant 1285, and speak 1696 unto the men 376 of Judah 3063, and to the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389;
3 And say 559 thou unto them, Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478; Cursed 779 be the man 376 that obeyeth 8085 not the words 1697 of this covenant 1285,
4 Which I commanded 6680 your fathers 1 in the day 3117 that I brought them forth 3318 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, from the iron 1270 furnace 3564, saying 559, Obey 8085 my voice 6963, and do 6213 them, according to all which I command 6680 you: so shall ye be my people 5971, and I will be your God 430:
5 That I may perform 6965 the oath 7621 which I have sworn 7650 unto your fathers 1, to give 5414 them a land 776 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706, as it is this day 3117. Then answered 6030 I, and said 559, So be it 543, O LORD 3068.
6 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 unto me, Proclaim 7121 all these words 1697 in the cities 5892 of Judah 3063, and in the streets 2351 of Jerusalem 3389, saying 559, Hear 8085 ye the words 1697 of this covenant 1285, and do 6213 them.
7 For I earnestly 5749 protested 5749 unto your fathers 1 in the day 3117 that I brought them up 5927 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, even unto this day 3117, rising early 7925 and protesting 5749, saying 559, Obey 8085 my voice 6963.
8 Yet they obeyed 8085 not, nor inclined 5186 their ear 241, but walked 3212 every one 376 in the imagination 8307 of their evil 7451 heart 3820: therefore I will bring 935 upon them all the words 1697 of this covenant 1285, which I commanded 6680 them to do 6213; but they did 6213 them not.
9 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto me, A conspiracy 7195 is found 4672 among the men 376 of Judah 3063, and among the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389.
10 They are turned back 7725 to the iniquities 5771 of their forefathers 7223 1, which refused 3985 to hear 8085 my words 1697; and they went 1980 after 310 other 312 gods 430 to serve 5647 them: the house 1004 of Israel 3478 and the house 1004 of Judah 3063 have broken 6565 my covenant 1285 which I made 3772 with their fathers 1.
11 Therefore thus saith 559 the LORD 3068, Behold, I will bring 935 evil 7451 upon them, which they shall not be able 3201 to escape 3318; and though they shall cry 2199 unto me, I will not hearken 8085 unto them.
12 Then shall the cities 5892 of Judah 3063 and inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389 go 1980, and cry 2199 unto the gods 430 unto whom they offer incense 6999: but they shall not save 3467 them at all 3467 in the time 6256 of their trouble 7451.
13 For according to the number 4557 of thy cities 5892 were thy gods 430, O Judah 3063; and according to the number 4557 of the streets 2351 of Jerusalem 3389 have ye set up 7760 altars 4196 to that shameful thing 1322, even altars 4196 to burn incense 6999 unto Baal 1168.
14 Therefore pray 6419 not thou for this people 5971, neither lift up 5375 a cry 7440 or prayer 8605 for them: for I will not hear 8085 them in the time 6256 that they cry 7121 unto me for their trouble 7451.
15 What hath my beloved 3039 to do in mine house 1004, seeing she hath wrought 6213 lewdness 4209 with many 7227, and the holy 6944 flesh 1320 is passed 5674 from thee? when thou doest evil 7451, then thou rejoicest 5937.
16 The LORD 3068 called 7121 thy name 8034, A green 7488 olive tree 2132, fair 3303, and of goodly 8389 fruit 6529: with the noise 6963 of a great 1419 tumult 1999 he hath kindled 3341 fire 784 upon it, and the branches 1808 of it are broken 7489.
17 For the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, that planted 5193 thee, hath pronounced 1696 evil 7451 against thee, for 1558 the evil 7451 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 and of the house 1004 of Judah 3063, which they have done 6213 against themselves to provoke me to anger 3707 in offering incense 6999 unto Baal 1168.
18 And the LORD 3068 hath given me knowledge 3045 of it, and I know 3045 it: then thou shewedst 7200 me their doings 4611.
19 But I was like a lamb 3532 or an ox 441 that is brought 2986 to the slaughter 2873; and I knew 3045 not that they had devised 2803 devices 4284 against me, saying, Let us destroy 7843 the tree 6086 with the fruit 3899 thereof, and let us cut him off 3772 from the land 776 of the living 2416, that his name 8034 may be no more remembered 2142.
20 But, O LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, that judgest 8199 righteously 6664, that triest 974 the reins 3629 and the heart 3820, let me see 7200 thy vengeance 5360 on them: for unto thee have I revealed 1540 my cause 7379.
21 Therefore thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of the men 582 of Anathoth 6068, that seek 1245 thy life 5315, saying 559, Prophesy 5012 not in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, that thou die 4191 not by our hand 3027:
22 Therefore thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, Behold, I will punish 6485 them: the young men 970 shall die 4191 by the sword 2719; their sons 1121 and their daughters 1323 shall die 4191 by famine 7458:
23 And there shall be no remnant 7611 of them: for I will bring 935 evil 7451 upon the men 582 of Anathoth 6068, even the year 8141 of their visitation 6486.
