Jeremiah 6:1-30

O ye children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
gather yourselves to flee
<05756> (8685)
out of the midst
<07130>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and blow
<08628> (8798)
the trumpet
<07782>
in Tekoa
<08620>_,
and set up
<05375> (8798)
a sign
<04864>
of fire in Bethhaccerem
<01021>_:
for evil
<07451>
appeareth
<08259> (8738)
out of the north
<06828>_,
and great
<01419>
destruction
<07667>_.
I have likened
<01820> (8804)
the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>
to a comely
<05116>
and delicate
<06026> (8794)
[woman]. {comely: or, dwelling at home}
The shepherds
<07462> (8802)
with their flocks
<05739>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto her; they shall pitch
<08628> (8804)
[their] tents
<0168>
against her round about
<05439>_;
they shall feed
<07462> (8804)
every one
<0376>
in his place
<03027>_.
Prepare
<06942> (8761)
ye war
<04421>
against her; arise
<06965> (8798)_,
and let us go up
<05927> (8799)
at noon
<06672>_.
Woe
<0188>
unto us! for the day
<03117>
goeth away
<06437> (8804)_,
for the shadows
<06752>
of the evening
<06153>
are stretched out
<05186> (8735)_.
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
and let us go
<05927> (8799)
by night
<03915>_,
and let us destroy
<07843> (8686)
her palaces
<0759>_.
For thus hath the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
Hew ye down
<03772> (8798)
trees
<06097>_,
and cast
<08210> (8798)
a mount
<05550>
against Jerusalem
<03389>_:
this [is] the city
<05892>
to be visited
<06485> (8717)_;
she [is] wholly oppression
<06233>
in the midst
<07130>
of her. {cast...: or, pour out the engine of shot}
As a fountain
<0953>
casteth out
<06979> (8687)
her waters
<04325>_,
so she casteth out
<06979> (8689)
her wickedness
<07451>_:
violence
<02555>
and spoil
<07701>
is heard
<08085> (8735)
in her; before me
<06440>
continually
<08548>
[is] grief
<02483>
and wounds
<04347>_.
Be thou instructed
<03256> (8734)_,
O Jerusalem
<03389>_,
lest my soul
<05315>
depart
<03363> (8799)
from thee; lest I make
<07760> (8799)
thee desolate
<08077>_,
a land
<0776>
not inhabited
<03427> (8738)_.
{depart: Heb. be loosed, or, disjointed}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
They shall throughly
<05953> (8780)
glean
<05953> (8779)
the remnant
<07611>
of Israel
<03478>
as a vine
<01612>_:
turn back
<07725> (8685)
thine hand
<03027>
as a grapegatherer
<01219> (8802)
into the baskets
<05552>_.
To whom shall I speak
<01696> (8762)_,
and give warning
<05749> (8686)_,
that they may hear
<08085> (8799)_?
behold, their ear
<0241>
[is] uncircumcised
<06189>_,
and they cannot
<03201> (8799)
hearken
<07181> (8687)_:
behold, the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
is unto them a reproach
<02781>_;
they have no delight
<02654> (8799)
in it.
Therefore I am full
<04392>
of the fury
<02534>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
I am weary
<03811> (8738)
with holding in
<03557> (8687)_:
I will pour it out
<08210> (8800)
upon the children
<05768>
abroad
<02351>_,
and upon the assembly
<05475>
of young men
<0970>
together
<03162>_:
for even the husband
<0376>
with the wife
<0802>
shall be taken
<03920> (8735)_,
the aged
<02205>
with [him that is] full
<04390> (8804)
of days
<03117>_.
And their houses
<01004>
shall be turned
<05437> (8738)
unto others
<0312>_,
[with their] fields
<07704>
and wives
<0802>
together
<03162>_:
for I will stretch out
<05186> (8686)
my hand
<03027>
upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
For from the least
<06996>
of them even unto the greatest
<01419>
of them every one [is] given
<01214> (8802)
to covetousness
<01215>_;
and from the prophet
<05030>
even unto the priest
<03548>
every one dealeth
<06213> (8802)
falsely
<08267>_.
They have healed
<07495> (8762)
also the hurt
<07667>
[of the daughter
<01323> (8676)_]
of my people
<05971>
slightly
<07043> (8738)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Peace
<07965>_,
peace
<07965>_;
when [there is] no peace
<07965>_.
{hurt: Heb. bruise, or, breach}
Were they ashamed
<03001> (8689)
when they had committed
<06213> (8804)
abomination
<08441>_?
nay
<01571>_,
they were not at all
<0954> (8800)
ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,
neither
<01571>
could
<03045> (8804)
they blush
<03637> (8687)_:
therefore they shall fall
<05307> (8799)
among them that fall
<05307> (8802)_:
at the time
<06256>
[that] I visit
<06485> (8804)
them they shall be cast down
<03782> (8735)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Stand
<05975> (8798)
ye in the ways
<01870>_,
and see
<07200> (8799)_,
and ask
<07592> (8798)
for the old
<05769>
paths
<05410>_,
where [is] the good
<02896>
way
<01870>_,
and walk
<03212> (8799)
therein, and ye shall find
<04672> (8798)
rest
<04771>
for your souls
<05315>_.
But they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We will not walk
<03212> (8798)
[therein].
Also I set
<06965> (8689)
watchmen
<06822> (8802)
over you, [saying], Hearken
<07181> (8685)
to the sound
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>_.
But they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We will not hearken
<07181> (8686)_.
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)_,
ye nations
<01471>_,
and know
<03045> (8798)_,
O congregation
<05712>_,
what [is] among them.
Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
O earth
<0776>_:
behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
evil
<07451>
upon this people
<05971>_,
[even] the fruit
<06529>
of their thoughts
<04284>_,
because they have not hearkened
<07181> (8689)
unto my words
<01697>_,
nor to my law
<08451>_,
but rejected
<03988> (8799)
it.
To what purpose cometh
<0935> (8799)
there to me incense
<03828>
from Sheba
<07614>_,
and the sweet
<02896>
cane
<07070>
from a far
<04801>
country
<0776>_?
your burnt offerings
<05930>
[are] not acceptable
<07522>_,
nor your sacrifices
<02077>
sweet
<06149> (8804)
unto me.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Behold, I will lay
<05414> (8802)
stumblingblocks
<04383>
before this people
<05971>_,
and the fathers
<01>
and the sons
<01121>
together
<03162>
shall fall
<03782> (8804)
upon them; the neighbour
<07934>
and his friend
<07453>
shall perish
<06> (8804)_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Behold, a people
<05971>
cometh
<0935> (8802)
from the north
<06828>
country
<0776>_,
and a great
<01419>
nation
<01471>
shall be raised
<05782> (8735)
from the sides
<03411>
of the earth
<0776>_.
They shall lay hold
<02388> (8686)
on bow
<07198>
and spear
<03591>_;
they [are] cruel
<0394>_,
and have no mercy
<07355> (8762)_;
their voice
<06963>
roareth
<01993> (8799)
like the sea
<03220>_;
and they ride
<07392> (8799)
upon horses
<05483>_,
set in array
<06186> (8803)
as men
<0376>
for war
<04421>
against thee, O daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_.
We have heard
<08085> (8804)
the fame
<08089>
thereof: our hands
<03027>
wax feeble
<07503> (8804)_:
anguish
<06869>
hath taken hold
<02388> (8689)
of us, [and] pain
<02427>_,
as of a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_.
Go not forth
<03318> (8799)
into the field
<07704>_,
nor walk
<03212> (8799)
by the way
<01870>_;
for the sword
<02719>
of the enemy
<0341> (8802)
[and] fear
<04032>
[is] on every side
<05439>_.
O daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>_,
gird
<02296> (8798)
[thee] with sackcloth
<08242>_,
and wallow
<06428> (8690)
thyself in ashes
<0665>_:
make
<06213> (8798)
thee mourning
<060>_,
[as for] an only son
<03173>_,
most bitter
<08563>
lamentation
<04553>_:
for the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
shall suddenly
<06597>
come
<0935> (8799)
upon us.
I have set
<05414> (8804)
thee [for] a tower
<0969>
[and] a fortress
<04013>
among my people
<05971>_,
that thou mayest know
<03045> (8799)
and try
<0974> (8804)
their way
<01870>_.
They [are] all grievous
<05493> (8802)
revolters
<05637> (8802)_,
walking
<01980> (8802)
with slanders
<07400>_:
[they are] brass
<05178>
and iron
<01270>_;
they [are] all corrupters
<07843> (8688)_.
The bellows
<04647>
are burned
<02787> (8738)_,
the lead
<05777>
is consumed
<08552> (8804)
of the fire
<0800> <0784>_;
the founder
<06884> (8800)
melteth
<06884> (8804)
in vain
<07723>_:
for the wicked
<07451>
are not plucked away
<05423> (8738)_.
Reprobate
<03988> (8737)
silver
<03701>
shall [men] call
<07121> (8804)
them, because the LORD
<03068>
hath rejected
<03988> (8804)
them. {Reprobate...: or, Refuse silver}
