| Jeremiah 7:1 |
|
The word that came to Jehovah from Jehovah,
saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:2 |
|
Stand in the gate of Jehovah's house, and proclaim
there this word, and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, that enter
in at these gates to worship Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:3 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel,
Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
|
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:4 |
|
Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple
of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, are these. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:5 |
|
For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your
doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor; |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:6 |
|
if ye oppress not the sojourner, the fatherless,
and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other
gods to your own hurt: |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:7 |
|
then will I cause you to dwell in this place,
in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even for evermore. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:8 |
|
Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot
profit. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:9 |
|
Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery,
and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods that
ye have not known, |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:10 |
|
and come and stand before me in this house,
which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that ye may do all these
abominations? |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:11 |
|
Is this house, which is called by my name, become
a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, saith Jehovah.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:12 |
|
But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh,
where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the
wickedness of my people Israel. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:13 |
|
And now, because ye have done all these works,
saith Jehovah, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard
not; and I called you, but ye answered not: |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:14 |
|
therefore will I do unto the house which is
called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and
to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:15 |
|
And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have
cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:16 |
|
Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither
lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me; for I will not
hear thee. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:17 |
|
Seest thou not what they do in the cities of
Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:18 |
|
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle
the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven,
and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:19 |
|
Do they provoke me to anger? saith Jehovah;
do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces? |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:20 |
|
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold,
mine anger and my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon
beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and
it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:21 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel:
Add your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:22 |
|
For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded
them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings
or sacrifices: |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:23 |
|
but this thing I commanded them, saying, Hearken
unto my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people; and walk ye
in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:24 |
|
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear,
but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart,
and went backward, and not forward. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:25 |
|
Since the day that your fathers came forth out
of the land of Egypt unto this day, I have sent unto you all my servants the prophets,
daily rising up early and sending them: |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:26 |
|
yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined
their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did worse than their fathers. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:27 |
|
And thou shalt speak all these words unto them;
but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will
not answer thee. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:28 |
|
And thou shalt say unto them, This is the nation
that hath not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, nor received instruction:
truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:29 |
|
Cut off thy hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away,
and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for Jehovah hath rejected and forsaken
the generation of his wrath. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:30 |
|
For the children of Judah have done that which
is evil in my sight, saith Jehovah: they have set their abominations in the house
which is called by my name, to defile it. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:31 |
|
And they have built the high places of Topheth,
which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters
in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into my mind. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:32 |
|
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah,
that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom,
but The valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no
place to bury. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:33 |
|
And the dead bodies of this people shall be
food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall
frighten them away. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 7:34 |
|
Then will I cause to cease from the cities of
Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of
gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land
shall become a waste. |
