Jeremiah 19:1
|
|
Thus said Jehovah, Go, and buy a potter's earthen
bottle, and take of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests; |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:2 |
|
and go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom,
which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I
shall tell thee; |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:3 |
|
and say, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O kings
of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of
Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which whosoever heareth, his
ears shall tingle. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:4 |
|
Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged
this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, that they knew not,
they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with
the blood of innocents, |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:5 |
|
and have built the high places of Baal, to burn
their sons in the fire for burnt-offerings unto Baal; which I commanded not, nor
spake it, neither came it into my mind: |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:6 |
|
therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah,
that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of
Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:7 |
|
And I will make void the counsel of Judah and
Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their
enemies, and by the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies will
I give to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
|
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:8 |
|
And I will make this city an astonishment,
and a hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because
of all the plagues thereof. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:9 |
|
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their
sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat every one the flesh
of his friend, in the siege and in the distress, wherewith their enemies, and
they that seek their life, shall distress them. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:10 |
|
Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight
of the men that go with thee, |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:11 |
|
and shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah
of hosts: Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's
vessel, that cannot be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth, till
there be no place to bury. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:12 |
|
Thus will I do unto this place, saith Jehovah,
and to the inhabitants thereof, even making this city as Topheth: |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:13 |
|
and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses
of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even
all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of
heaven, and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:14 |
|
Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, whither Jehovah
had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Jehovah's house, and said
to all the people: |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 19:15 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel,
Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I
have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they
may not hear my words. |
