| Jeremiah 16:1 |
|
The word of the LORD 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 the LORD 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 of grievous deaths; they shall
not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon
the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine;
and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of
the earth. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 16:5 |
|
For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the
house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away
my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even lovingkindness and mercies. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 16:6 |
|
Both the great and the 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 tear themselves 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 |
|
Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting,
to sit with them to eat and to drink. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 16:9 |
|
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of
Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in 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 shew
this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the
LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what
is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God? |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 16:11 |
|
Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your
fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, 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 worse than your fathers; for,
behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may
not hearken unto me: |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 16:13 |
|
Therefore will I cast you out of this land into
a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve
other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 16:14 |
|
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the
LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children
of Israel out of the land of Egypt; |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 16:15 |
|
But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children
of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands 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
the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and
they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the
holes 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 hid from mine eyes. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 16:18 |
|
And first I will recompense their iniquity and
their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance
with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 16:19 |
|
O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my
refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends
of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and
things wherein there is no profit. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 16:20 |
|
Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they
are no gods? |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 16:21 |
|
Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them
to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know
that my name is The LORD. |
