Jeremiah 11:1-17

The word
<01697>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye the words
<01697>
of this covenant
<01285>_,
and speak
<01696> (8765)
unto the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_;
And say
<0559> (8804)
thou unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] the man
<0376>
that obeyeth
<08085> (8799)
not the words
<01697>
of this covenant
<01285>_,
Which I commanded
<06680> (8765)
your fathers
<01>
in the day
<03117>
[that] I brought them forth
<03318> (8687)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
from the iron
<01270>
furnace
<03564>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Obey
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>_,
and do
<06213> (8804)
them, according to all which I command
<06680> (8762)
you: so shall ye be my people
<05971>_,
and I will be your God
<0430>_:
That I may perform
<06965> (8687)
the oath
<07621>
which I have sworn
<07650> (8738)
unto your fathers
<01>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
them a land
<0776>
flowing
<02100> (8802)
with milk
<02461>
and honey
<01706>_,
as [it is] this day
<03117>_.
Then answered
<06030> (8799)
I, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
So be it
<0543>_,
O LORD
<03068>_.
{So...: Heb. Amen}
Then the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Proclaim
<07121> (8798)
all these words
<01697>
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the streets
<02351>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye the words
<01697>
of this covenant
<01285>_,
and do
<06213> (8804)
them.
For I earnestly
<05749> (8687)
protested
<05749> (8689)
unto your fathers
<01>
in the day
<03117>
[that] I brought them up
<05927> (8687)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
[even] unto this day
<03117>_,
rising early
<07925> (8687)
and protesting
<05749> (8687)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Obey
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>_.
Yet they obeyed
<08085> (8804)
not, nor inclined
<05186> (8689)
their ear
<0241>_,
but walked
<03212> (8799)
every one
<0376>
in the imagination
<08307>
of their evil
<07451>
heart
<03820>_:
therefore I will bring
<0935> (8686)
upon them all the words
<01697>
of this covenant
<01285>_,
which I commanded
<06680> (8765)
[them] to do
<06213> (8800)_;
but they did
<06213> (8804)
[them] not. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, A conspiracy
<07195>
is found
<04672> (8738)
among the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and among the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
They are turned back
<07725> (8804)
to the iniquities
<05771>
of their forefathers
<07223> <01>_,
which refused
<03985> (8765)
to hear
<08085> (8800)
my words
<01697>_;
and they went
<01980> (8804)
after
<0310>
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>
to serve
<05647> (8800)
them: the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
and the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
have broken
<06565> (8689)
my covenant
<01285>
which I made
<03772> (8804)
with their fathers
<01>_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
evil
<07451>
upon them, which they shall not be able
<03201> (8799)
to escape
<03318> (8800)_;
and though they shall cry
<02199> (8804)
unto me, I will not hearken
<08085> (8799)
unto them. {to escape: Heb. to go forth of}
Then shall the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
and inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
go
<01980> (8804)_,
and cry
<02199> (8804)
unto the gods
<0430>
unto whom they offer incense
<06999> (8764)_:
but they shall not save
<03467> (8686)
them at all
<03467> (8687)
in the time
<06256>
of their trouble
<07451>_.
{trouble: Heb. evil}
For [according to] the number
<04557>
of thy cities
<05892>
were thy gods
<0430>_,
O Judah
<03063>_;
and [according to] the number
<04557>
of the streets
<02351>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
have ye set up
<07760> (8804)
altars
<04196>
to [that] shameful thing
<01322>_,
[even] altars
<04196>
to burn incense
<06999> (8763)
unto Baal
<01168>_.
{shameful...: Heb. shame}
Therefore pray
<06419> (8691)
not thou for this people
<05971>_,
neither lift up
<05375> (8799)
a cry
<07440>
or prayer
<08605>
for them: for I will not hear
<08085> (8802)
[them] in the time
<06256>
that they cry
<07121> (8800)
unto me for their trouble
<07451>_.
{trouble: Heb. evil}
What hath my beloved
<03039>
to do in mine house
<01004>_,
[seeing] she hath wrought
<06213> (8800)
lewdness
<04209>
with many
<07227>_,
and the holy
<06944>
flesh
<01320>
is passed
<05674> (8799)
from thee? when thou doest evil
<07451>_,
then thou rejoicest
<05937> (8799)_.
{What...: Heb. What is to my beloved in my house} {when...: or, when thy evil is}
The LORD
<03068>
called
<07121> (8804)
thy name
<08034>_,
A green
<07488>
olive tree
<02132>_,
fair
<03303>_,
[and] of goodly
<08389>
fruit
<06529>_:
with the noise
<06963>
of a great
<01419>
tumult
<01999>
he hath kindled
<03341> (8689)
fire
<0784>
upon it, and the branches
<01808>
of it are broken
<07489> (8804)_.
For the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
that planted
<05193> (8802)
thee, hath pronounced
<01696> (8765)
evil
<07451>
against thee, for
<01558>
the evil
<07451>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
and of the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_,
which they have done
<06213> (8804)
against themselves to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)
in offering incense
<06999> (8763)
unto Baal
<01168>_.
