Jeremiah 2:2-25

Go
<01980> (8800)
and cry
<07121> (8804)
in the ears
<0241>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
I remember
<02142> (8804)
thee, the kindness
<02617>
of thy youth
<05271>_,
the love
<0160>
of thine espousals
<03623>_,
when thou wentest
<03212> (8800)
after
<0310>
me in the wilderness
<04057>_,
in a land
<0776>
[that was] not sown
<02232> (8803)_.
{thee: or, for thy sake}
Israel
<03478>
[was] holiness
<06944>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
[and] the firstfruits
<07225>
of his increase
<08393>_:
all that devour
<0398> (8802)
him shall offend
<0816> (8799)_;
evil
<07451>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
O house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and all the families
<04940>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_:
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
What iniquity
<05766>
have your fathers
<01>
found
<04672> (8804)
in me, that they are gone far
<07368> (8804)
from me, and have walked
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
vanity
<01892>_,
and are become vain
<01891> (8799)_?
Neither said
<0559> (8804)
they, Where [is] the LORD
<03068>
that brought us up
<05927> (8688)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
that led
<03212> (8688)
us through the wilderness
<04057>_,
through a land
<0776>
of deserts
<06160>
and of pits
<07745>_,
through a land
<0776>
of drought
<06723>_,
and of the shadow of death
<06757>_,
through a land
<0776>
that no man
<0376>
passed through
<05674> (8804)_,
and where no man
<0120>
dwelt
<03427> (8804)_?
And I brought
<0935> (8686)
you into a plentiful
<03759>
country
<0776>_,
to eat
<0398> (8800)
the fruit
<06529>
thereof and the goodness
<02898>
thereof; but when ye entered
<0935> (8799)_,
ye defiled
<02930> (8762)
my land
<0776>_,
and made
<07760> (8804)
mine heritage
<05159>
an abomination
<08441>_.
{a plentiful...: or, the land of Carmel}
The priests
<03548>
said
<0559> (8804)
not, Where [is] the LORD
<03068>_?
and they that handle
<08610> (8802)
the law
<08451>
knew
<03045> (8804)
me not: the pastors
<07462> (8802)
also transgressed
<06586> (8804)
against me, and the prophets
<05030>
prophesied
<05012> (8738)
by Baal
<01168>_,
and walked
<01980> (8804)
after
<0310>
[things that] do not profit
<03276> (8686)_.
Wherefore I will yet plead
<07378> (8799)
with you, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and with your children's
<01121>
children
<01121>
will I plead
<07378> (8799)_.
For pass over
<05674> (8798)
the isles
<0339>
of Chittim
<03794>_,
and see
<07200> (8798)_;
and send
<07971> (8798)
unto Kedar
<06938>_,
and consider
<0995> (8708)
diligently
<03966>_,
and see
<07200> (8798)
if there be such a thing. {over: or, over to}
Hath a nation
<01471>
changed
<03235> (8689)
[their] gods
<0430>_,
which [are] yet no gods
<0430>_?
but my people
<05971>
have changed
<04171> (8689)
their glory
<03519>
for [that which] doth not profit
<03276> (8686)_.
Be astonished
<08074> (8798)_,
O ye heavens
<08064>_,
at this, and be horribly afraid
<08175> (8798)_,
be ye very
<03966>
desolate
<02717> (8798)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
For my people
<05971>
have committed
<06213> (8804)
two
<08147>
evils
<07451>_;
they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
me the fountain
<04726>
of living
<02416>
waters
<04325>_,
[and] hewed them out
<02672> (8800)
cisterns
<0877>_,
broken
<07665> (8737)
cisterns
<0877>_,
that can hold
<03557> (8686)
no water
<04325>_.
[Is] Israel
<03478>
a servant
<05650>_?
[is] he a homeborn
<01004> <03211>
[slave]? why
<04069>
is he spoiled
<0957>_?
{spoiled: Heb. become a spoil?}
The young lions
<03715>
roared
<07580> (8799)
upon him, [and] yelled
<05414> (8804) <06963>_,
and they made
<07896> (8799)
his land
<0776>
waste
<08047>_:
his cities
<05892>
are burned
<03341> (8738)
without inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
{yelled: Heb. gave out their voice}
Also the children
<01121>
of Noph
<05297>
and Tahapanes
<08471>
have broken
<07462> (8799)
the crown of thy head
<06936>_.
{have...: or, feed on thy crown}
Hast thou not procured
<06213> (8799)
this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken
<05800> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
when
<06256>
he led
<03212> (8688)
thee by the way
<01870>_?
And now what hast thou to do in the way
<01870>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
to drink
<08354> (8800)
the waters
<04325>
of Sihor
<07883>_?
or what hast thou to do in the way
<01870>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
to drink
<08354> (8800)
the waters
<04325>
of the river
<05104>_?
Thine own wickedness
<07451>
shall correct
<03256> (8762)
thee, and thy backslidings
<04878>
shall reprove
<03198> (8686)
thee: know
<03045> (8798)
therefore and see
<07200> (8798)
that [it is] an evil
<07451>
[thing] and bitter
<04751>_,
that thou hast forsaken
<05800> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
and that my fear
<06345>
[is] not in thee, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_.
For of old time
<05769>
I have broken
<07665> (8804)
thy yoke
<05923>_,
[and] burst
<05423> (8765)
thy bands
<04147>_;
and thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not transgress
<05674> (8799) (8675) <05647> (8799)_;
when upon every high
<01364>
hill
<01389>
and under every green
<07488>
tree
<06086>
thou wanderest
<06808> (8802)_,
playing the harlot
<02181> (8802)_.
{transgress: or, serve}
Yet I had planted
<05193> (8804)
thee a noble vine
<08321>_,
wholly a right
<0571>
seed
<02233>_:
how then art thou turned
<02015> (8738)
into the degenerate plant
<05494>
of a strange
<05237>
vine
<01612>
unto me?
For though thou wash
<03526> (8762)
thee with nitre
<05427>_,
and take thee much
<07235> (8686)
soap
<01287>_,
[yet] thine iniquity
<05771>
is marked
<03799> (8737)
before
<06440>
me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
How canst thou say
<0559> (8799)_,
I am not polluted
<02930> (8738)_,
I have not gone
<01980> (8804)
after
<0310>
Baalim
<01168>_?
see
<07200> (8798)
thy way
<01870>
in the valley
<01516>_,
know
<03045> (8798)
what thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_:
[thou art] a swift
<07031>
dromedary
<01072>
traversing
<08308> (8764)
her ways
<01870>_;
{thou art...: or, O swift dromedary}
A wild ass
<06501>
used
<03928>
to the wilderness
<04057>_,
[that] snuffeth up
<07602> (8804)
the wind
<07307>
at her pleasure
<0185> <05315>_;
in her occasion
<08385>
who can turn her away
<07725> (8686)_?
all they that seek
<01245> (8764)
her will not weary
<03286> (8799)
themselves; in her month
<02320>
they shall find
<04672> (8799)
her. {A wild...: or, O wild ass, etc} {used: Heb. taught} {her pleasure: Heb. the desire of her heart} {turn...: or, reverse it?}
Withhold
<04513> (8798)
thy foot
<07272>
from being unshod
<03182>_,
and thy throat
<01627>
from thirst
<06773>_:
but thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,
There is no hope
<02976> (8737)_:
no; for I have loved
<0157> (8804)
strangers
<02114> (8801)_,
and after
<0310>
them will I go
<03212> (8799)_.
{There...: or, Is the case desperate?}
