Jeremiah 6:1
|
|
Flee for safety, ye children of Benjamin, out
of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal
on Beth-haccherem; for evil looketh forth from the north, and a great destruction.
|
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:2 |
|
The comely and delicate one, the daughter of
Zion, will I cut off. |
| |
|
|

|
Shepherds with their flocks shall come unto
her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every
one in his place. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:4 |
|
Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us
go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day declineth, for the shadows of the evening
are stretched out. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:5 |
|
Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us
destroy her palaces. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:6 |
|
For thus hath Jehovah of hosts said, Hew ye
down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited;
she is wholly oppression in the midst of her. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:7 |
|
As a well casteth forth its waters, so she casteth
forth her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually
is sickness and wounds. |
|
|
|

|
Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul
be alienated from thee; lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:9 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, They shall thoroughly
glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn again thy hand as a grape-gatherer
into the baskets. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:10 |
|
To whom shall I speak and testify, that they
may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold,
the word of Jehovah is become unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:11 |
|
Therefore I am full of the wrath of Jehovah;
I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon
the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be
taken, the aged with him that is full of days. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:12 |
|
And their houses shall be turned unto others,
their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand upon the
inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:13 |
|
For from the least of them even unto the greatest
of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the
priest every one dealeth falsely. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:14 |
|
They have healed also the hurt of my people
slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:15 |
|
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall
fall among them that fall; at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down,
saith Jehovah. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:16 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and
see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye
shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk therein. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:17 |
|
And I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken
to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:18 |
|
Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation,
what is among them. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:19 |
|
Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon
this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened
unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:20 |
|
To what purpose cometh there to me frankincense
from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt-offerings are not
acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto me. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:21 |
|
Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will
lay stumbling-blocks before this people; and the fathers and the sons together
shall stumble against them; the neighbor and his friend shall perish. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:22 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, a people cometh
from the north country; and a great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost
parts of the earth. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:23 |
|
They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel,
and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses,
every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Zion.
|
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:24 |
|
We have heard the report thereof; our hands
wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
|
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:25 |
|
Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the
way; for the sword of the enemy, and terror, are on every side. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:26 |
|
O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth,
and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter
lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:27 |
|
I have made thee a trier and a fortress among
my people; that thou mayest know and try their way. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:28 |
|
They are all grievous revolters, going about
with slanders; they are brass and iron: they all of them deal corruptly. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:29 |
|
The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed
of the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away.
|
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 6:30 |

Refuse silver shall men them, because Jehovah
hath rejected them. |
