Jeremiah 16:1 |
|
The word of Jehovah came also unto me, saying, |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:2 |
|
Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt
thou have sons or daughters, in this place. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:3 |
|
For thus saith Jehovah concerning the sons and
concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers
that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land: |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:4 |
|
They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not
be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face
of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their
dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of
the earth. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:5 |
|
For thus saith Jehovah, Enter not into the house
of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away
my peace from this people, saith Jehovah, even lovingkindness and tender mercies.
|
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:6 |
|
Both great and small shall die in this land;
they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves,
nor make themselves bald for them; |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:7 |
|
neither shall men break bread for them in mourning,
to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation
to drink for their father or for their mother. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:8 |
|
And thou shalt not go into the house of feasting
to sit with them, to eat and to drink. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:9 |
|
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of
Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and
in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom
and the voice of the bride. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:10 |
|
And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show
this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath Jehovah
pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is
our sin that we have committed against Jehovah our God? |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:11 |
|
Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your
fathers have forsaken me, saith Jehovah, and have walked after other gods, and
have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not
kept my law; |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:12 |
|
and ye have done evil more than your fathers;
for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that
ye hearken not unto me: |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:13 |
|
therefore will I cast you forth out of this
land into the land that ye have not known, neither ye nor your fathers; and there
shall ye serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:14 |
|
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah,
that it shall no more be said, As Jehovah liveth, that brought up the children
of Israel out of the land of Egypt; |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:15 |
|
but, As Jehovah liveth, that brought up the
children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries whither
he had driven them. And I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto
their fathers. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:16 |
|
Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith
Jehovah, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters,
and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of
the clefts of the rocks. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:17 |
|
For mine eyes are upon all their ways; they
are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from mine eyes.
|
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:18 |
|
And first I will recompense their iniquity and
their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their
detestable things, and have filled mine inheritance with their abominations. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:19 |
|
O Jehovah, my strength, and my stronghold, and
my refuge in the day of affliction, unto thee shall the nations come from the
ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nought but lies,
even vanity and things wherein there is no profit. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:20 |
|
Shall a man make unto himself gods, which yet
are no gods? |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 16:21 |
|
Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know,
this once will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know
that my name is Jehovah. |
