Jeremiah 4

If thou wilt return
<07725> (8799)_,
O Israel
<03478>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
return
<07725> (8799)
unto me: and if thou wilt put away
<05493> (8686)
thine abominations
<08251>
out of my sight
<06440>_,
then shalt thou not remove
<05110> (8799)_.
And thou shalt swear
<07650> (8738)_,
The LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
in truth
<0571>_,
in judgment
<04941>_,
and in righteousness
<06666>_;
and the nations
<01471>
shall bless
<01288> (8694)
themselves in him, and in him shall they glory
<01984> (8691)_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
to the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_,
Break up
<05214> (8798)
your fallow ground
<05215>_,
and sow
<02232> (8799)
not among thorns
<06975>_.
Circumcise
<04135> (8734)
yourselves to the LORD
<03068>_,
and take away
<05493> (8685)
the foreskins
<06190>
of your heart
<03824>_,
ye men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
and inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_:
lest my fury
<02534>
come forth
<03318> (8799)
like fire
<0784>_,
and burn
<01197> (8804)
that none can quench
<03518> (8764)
[it], because
<06440>
of the evil
<07455>
of your doings
<04611>_.
Declare
<05046> (8685)
ye in Judah
<03063>_,
and publish
<08085> (8685)
in Jerusalem
<03389>_;
and say
<0559> (8798)_,
Blow
<08628> (8798)
ye the trumpet
<07782>
in the land
<0776>_:
cry
<07121> (8798)_,
gather together
<04390> (8761)_,
and say
<0559> (8798)_,
Assemble
<0622> (8734)
yourselves, and let us go
<0935> (8799)
into the defenced
<04013>
cities
<05892>_.
Set up
<05375> (8798)
the standard
<05251>
toward Zion
<06726>_:
retire
<05756> (8685)_,
stay
<05975> (8799)
not: for I will bring
<0935> (8688)
evil
<07451>
from the north
<06828>_,
and a great
<01419>
destruction
<07667>_.
{retire: or, strengthen} {destruction: Heb. breaking}
The lion
<0738>
is come up
<05927> (8804)
from his thicket
<05441>_,
and the destroyer
<07843> (8688)
of the Gentiles
<01471>
is on his way
<05265> (8804)_;
he is gone forth
<03318> (8804)
from his place
<04725>
to make
<07760> (8800)
thy land
<0776>
desolate
<08047>_;
[and] thy cities
<05892>
shall be laid waste
<05327> (8799)_,
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
For this gird
<02296> (8798)
you with sackcloth
<08242>_,
lament
<05594> (8798)
and howl
<03213> (8685)_:
for the fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
is not turned back
<07725> (8804)
from us.
And it shall come to pass at that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
[that] the heart
<03820>
of the king
<04428>
shall perish
<06> (8799)_,
and the heart
<03820>
of the princes
<08269>_;
and the priests
<03548>
shall be astonished
<08074> (8738)_,
and the prophets
<05030>
shall wonder
<08539> (8799)_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
I, Ah
<0162>_,
Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_!
surely
<0403>
thou hast greatly
<05377> (8687)
deceived
<05377> (8689)
this people
<05971>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye shall have peace
<07965>_;
whereas the sword
<02719>
reacheth
<05060> (8804)
unto the soul
<05315>_.
At that time
<06256>
shall it be said
<0559> (8735)
to this people
<05971>
and to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
A dry
<06703>
wind
<07307>
of the high places
<08205>
in the wilderness
<04057>
toward
<01870>
the daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>_,
not to fan
<02219> (8800)_,
nor to cleanse
<01305> (8687)_,
[Even] a full
<04392>
wind
<07307>
from those [places] shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto me: now also will I give
<01696> (8762)
sentence
<04941>
against them. {a full...: or, a fuller wind than those} {give...: Heb. utter judgments}
Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)
as clouds
<06051>_,
and his chariots
<04818>
[shall be] as a whirlwind
<05492>_:
his horses
<05483>
are swifter
<07043> (8804)
than eagles
<05404>_.
Woe
<0188>
unto us! for we are spoiled
<07703> (8795)_.
O Jerusalem
<03389>_,
wash
<03526> (8761)
thine heart
<03820>
from wickedness
<07451>_,
that thou mayest be saved
<03467> (8735)_.
How long shall thy vain
<0205>
thoughts
<04284>
lodge
<03885> (8686)
within
<07130>
thee?
For a voice
<06963>
declareth
<05046> (8688)
from Dan
<01835>_,
and publisheth
<08085> (8688)
affliction
<0205>
from mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_.
Make ye mention
<02142> (8685)
to the nations
<01471>_;
behold, publish
<08085> (8685)
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
[that] watchers
<05341> (8802)
come
<0935> (8802)
from a far
<04801>
country
<0776>_,
and give out
<05414> (8799)
their voice
<06963>
against the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_.
As keepers
<08104> (8802)
of a field
<07704>_,
are they against her round about
<05439>_;
because she hath been rebellious
<04784> (8804)
against me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Thy way
<01870>
and thy doings
<04611>
have procured
<06213> (8804)
these [things] unto thee; this [is] thy wickedness
<07451>_,
because it is bitter
<04751>_,
because it reacheth
<05060> (8804)
unto thine heart
<03820>_.
My bowels
<04578>_,
my bowels
<04578>_!
I am pained
<02342> (8799) (8675) <03176> (8686)
at my very
<07023>
heart
<03820>_;
my heart
<03820>
maketh a noise
<01993> (8802)
in me; I cannot hold my peace
<02790> (8686)_,
because thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_,
O my soul
<05315>_,
the sound
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>_,
the alarm
<08643>
of war
<04421>_.
{my very...: Heb. the walls of my heart}
Destruction
<07667>
upon destruction
<07667>
is cried
<07121> (8738)_;
for the whole land
<0776>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:
suddenly
<06597>
are my tents
<0168>
spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,
[and] my curtains
<03407>
in a moment
<07281>_.
How long shall I see
<07200> (8799)
the standard
<05251>_,
[and] hear
<08085> (8799)
the sound
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>_?
For my people
<05971>
[is] foolish
<0191>_,
they have not known
<03045> (8804)
me; they [are] sottish
<05530>
children
<01121>_,
and they have none understanding
<0995> (8737)_:
they [are] wise
<02450>
to do evil
<07489> (8687)_,
but to do good
<03190> (8687)
they have no knowledge
<03045> (8804)_.
I beheld
<07200> (8804)
the earth
<0776>_,
and, lo, [it was] without form
<08414>_,
and void
<0922>_;
and the heavens
<08064>_,
and they [had] no light
<0216>_.
I beheld
<07200> (8804)
the mountains
<02022>_,
and, lo, they trembled
<07493> (8801)_,
and all the hills
<01389>
moved lightly
<07043> (8701)_.
I beheld
<07200> (8804)_,
and, lo, [there was] no man
<0120>_,
and all the birds
<05775>
of the heavens
<08064>
were fled
<05074> (8804)_.
I beheld
<07200> (8804)_,
and, lo, the fruitful place
<03759>
[was] a wilderness
<04057>_,
and all the cities
<05892>
thereof were broken down
<05422> (8738)
at the presence
<06440>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
[and] by his fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>_.
For thus hath the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
The whole land
<0776>
shall be desolate
<08077>_;
yet will I not make
<06213> (8799)
a full end
<03617>_.
For this shall the earth
<0776>
mourn
<056> (8799)_,
and the heavens
<08064>
above
<04605>
be black
<06937> (8804)_:
because I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it], I have purposed
<02161> (8804)
[it], and will not repent
<05162> (8738)_,
neither will I turn back
<07725> (8799)
from it.
The whole city
<05892>
shall flee
<01272> (8802)
for the noise
<06963>
of the horsemen
<06571>
and bowmen
<07198> <07411> (8802)_;
they shall go
<0935> (8804)
into thickets
<05645>_,
and climb up
<05927> (8804)
upon the rocks
<03710>_:
every city
<05892>
[shall be] forsaken
<05800> (8803)_,
and not a man
<0376>
dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein
<02004>_.
And [when] thou [art] spoiled
<07703> (8803)_,
what wilt thou do
<06213> (8799)_?
Though thou clothest
<03847> (8799)
thyself with crimson
<08144>_,
though thou deckest
<05710> (8799)
thee with ornaments
<05716>
of gold
<02091>_,
though thou rentest
<07167> (8799)
thy face
<05869>
with painting
<06320>_,
in vain
<07723>
shalt thou make thyself fair
<03302> (8691)_;
[thy] lovers
<05689> (8802)
will despise
<03988> (8804)
thee, they will seek
<01245> (8762)
thy life
<05315>_.
{face: Heb. eyes}
For I have heard
<08085> (8804)
a voice
<06963>
as of a woman in travail
<02470> (8802)_,
[and] the anguish
<06869>
as of her that bringeth forth her first child
<01069> (8688)_,
the voice
<06963>
of the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_,
[that] bewaileth
<03306> (8691)
herself, [that] spreadeth
<06566> (8762)
her hands
<03709>_,
[saying], Woe
<0188>
[is] me now! for my soul
<05315>
is wearied
<05888> (8804)
because of murderers
<02026> (8802)_.
