24~JEREMIAH 001|001` The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

24~JEREMIAH 001|002` To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.

24~JEREMIAH 001|003` It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.

24~JEREMIAH 001|004` Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 001|005` Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.

24~JEREMIAH 001|006` Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.

24~JEREMIAH 001|007` But the Lord said to me, Say not, I am a child: for you shalt go to all that I shall send you, and whatsoever I command you you shalt speak.

24~JEREMIAH 001|008` Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with you to deliver you, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 001|009` Then the Lord put forth his hand, And touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.

24~JEREMIAH 001|010` See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

24~JEREMIAH 001|011` Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what sees you? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.

24~JEREMIAH 001|012` Then said the Lord to me, You hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.

24~JEREMIAH 001|013` And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying, What sees you? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.

24~JEREMIAH 001|014` Then the Lord said to me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.

24~JEREMIAH 001|015` For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the Lord; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 001|016` And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.

24~JEREMIAH 001|017` You therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command you: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound you before them.

24~JEREMIAH 001|018` For, behold, I have made you this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.

24~JEREMIAH 001|019` And they shall fight against you; but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you, saith the Lord, to deliver you.

24~JEREMIAH 002|001` Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 002|002` Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; I remember you, the kindness of thy youth, the love of yours espousals, when you wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

24~JEREMIAH 002|003` Israel was holiness to the Lord, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 002|004` Hear you the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:

24~JEREMIAH 002|005` Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

24~JEREMIAH 002|006` Neither said they, Where is the Lord that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man lived?

24~JEREMIAH 002|007` And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.

24~JEREMIAH 002|008` The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

24~JEREMIAH 002|009` Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and with your children's children will I plead.

24~JEREMIAH 002|010` For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.

24~JEREMIAH 002|011` Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.

24~JEREMIAH 002|012` Be astonished, O you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be you very desolate, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 002|013` For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

24~JEREMIAH 002|014` Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?

24~JEREMIAH 002|015` The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.

24~JEREMIAH 002|016` Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.

24~JEREMIAH 002|017` Have you not Procured this to thyself, in that you hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he led you by the way?

24~JEREMIAH 002|018` And now what hast you to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast you to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?

24~JEREMIAH 002|019` Thine own wickedness shall correct you, and thy backsliding shall reprove you: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that you hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my fear is not in you, saith the Lord God of hosts.

24~JEREMIAH 002|020` For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and you saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree you wanderest, playing the harlot.

24~JEREMIAH 002|021` Yet I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art you turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine to me?

24~JEREMIAH 002|022` For though you wash you with nitre, and take you much soap, yet yours iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.

24~JEREMIAH 002|023` How canst you say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what you hast done: you art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;

24~JEREMIAH 002|024` A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.

24~JEREMIAH 002|025` Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but you saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.

24~JEREMIAH 002|026` As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.

24~JEREMIAH 002|027` Saying to a stock, You art my father; and to a stone, You hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back to me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.

24~JEREMIAH 002|028` But where are thy gods that you hast made you? let them arise, if they can save you in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 002|029` Wherefore will you plead with me? you all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 002|030` In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

24~JEREMIAH 002|031` O generation, see you the word of the Lord. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more to you?

24~JEREMIAH 002|032` Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.

24~JEREMIAH 002|033` Why trimmest you thy way to seek love? therefore hast you also taught the wicked ones thy ways.

24~JEREMIAH 002|034` Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.

24~JEREMIAH 002|035` Yet you sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with you, because you sayest, I have not sinned.

24~JEREMIAH 002|036` Why gaddest you about so much to change thy way? you also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as you wast ashamed of Assyria.

24~JEREMIAH 002|037` You, you shalt go forth from him, and yours hands upon yours head: for the Lord hath rejected thy confidences, and you shalt not prosper in them.

24~JEREMIAH 003|001` They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return to her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but you hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 003|002` Lift up yours eyes to the high places, and see where you hast not been lien with. In the ways hast you sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and you hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.

24~JEREMIAH 003|003` Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and you hadst a whore's forehead, you refusedst to be ashamed.

24~JEREMIAH 003|004` Wilt you not from this time cry to me, My father, you art the guide of my youth?

24~JEREMIAH 003|005` Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, you hast spoken and done evil things as you couldest.

24~JEREMIAH 003|006` The Lord said also to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.

24~JEREMIAH 003|007` And I said after she had done all these things, Turn you to me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

24~JEREMIAH 003|008` And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of Divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and fZfXaW+I-_ played the harlot also.

24~JEREMIAH 003|009` And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.

24~JEREMIAH 003|010` And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned to me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 003|011` And the Lord said to me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 003|012` Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, you backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever.

24~JEREMIAH 003|013` Only acknowledge yours iniquity, that you hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 003|014` Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married to you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

24~JEREMIAH 003|015` And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

24~JEREMIAH 003|016` And it shall come to pass, when you be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenient of the Lord: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done an

24~JEREMIAH 003|017` At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.

24~JEREMIAH 003|018` In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance to your fathers.

24~JEREMIAH 003|019` But I said, How shall I put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I fZfXaW+I-_ said, You shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.

24~JEREMIAH 003|020` Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so have you dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 003|021` A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the Lord their God.

24~JEREMIAH 003|022` Return, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backsliding. Behold, we come to you; for you art the Lord our God.

24~JEREMIAH 003|023` Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.

24~JEREMIAH 003|024` For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

24~JEREMIAH 003|025` We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covers us: for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.

24~JEREMIAH 004|001` If you wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, return to me: and if you wilt put away yours abominations out of my sight, then shalt you not remove.

24~JEREMIAH 004|002` And you shalt swear, The Lord liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.

24~JEREMIAH 004|003` For thus saith the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.

24~JEREMIAH 004|004` Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

24~JEREMIAH 004|005` Declare you in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow you the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.

24~JEREMIAH 004|006` Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.

24~JEREMIAH 004|007` The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.

24~JEREMIAH 004|008` For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned back from us.

24~JEREMIAH 004|009` And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the Lord, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.

24~JEREMIAH 004|010` Then said I, Ah, Lord God! surely you hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth to the soul.

24~JEREMIAH 004|011` At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter fZfXaW+I-_ of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,

24~JEREMIAH 004|012` Even a full wind from those places shall come to me: now also will I give sentence against them.

24~JEREMIAH 004|013` Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are spoiled.

24~JEREMIAH 004|014` O Jerusalem, wash yours heart from wickedness, that you mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within you?

24~JEREMIAH 004|015` For a voice declares from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.

24~JEREMIAH 004|016` Make you mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 004|017` As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 004|018` Your way and thy doings have procured these things to you; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth to yours heart.

24~JEREMIAH 004|019` My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because you hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

24~JEREMIAH 004|020` Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.

24~JEREMIAH 004|021` How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?

24~JEREMIAH 004|022` For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

24~JEREMIAH 004|023` I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

24~JEREMIAH 004|024` I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.

24~JEREMIAH 004|025` I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.

24~JEREMIAH 004|026` I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger.

24~JEREMIAH 004|027` For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.

24~JEREMIAH 004|028` For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

24~JEREMIAH 004|029` The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and fZfXaW+I-_ bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.

24~JEREMIAH 004|030` And when you art spoiled, what wilt you do? Though you clothest thyself with crimson, though you deckest you with ornaments of gold, though you rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt you make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise you, they will seek thy li

24~JEREMIAH 004|031` For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewails herself, that spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.

24~JEREMIAH 005|001` Run you to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if you can find a man, if there be any that executes judgment, that seeks the truth; and I will pardon it.

24~JEREMIAH 005|002` And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely.

24~JEREMIAH 005|003` O Lord, are not yours eyes upon the truth? you hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; you hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

24~JEREMIAH 005|004` Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.

24~JEREMIAH 005|005` I will get me to the great men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

24~JEREMIAH 005|006` Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out there shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backsliding are increased.

24~JEREMIAH 005|007` How shall I pardon you for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.

24~JEREMIAH 005|008` They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.

24~JEREMIAH 005|009` Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

24~JEREMIAH 005|010` Go you up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the Lord's.

24~JEREMIAH 005|011` For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 005|012` They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:

24~JEREMIAH 005|013` And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done to them.

24~JEREMIAH 005|014` Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because you speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

24~JEREMIAH 005|015` Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a I-_ nation whose language you knowest not, neither understandest what they say.

24~JEREMIAH 005|016` Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.

24~JEREMIAH 005|017` And they shall eat up yours harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and yours herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein you trustedst, with the sword.

24~JEREMIAH 005|018` Nevertheless in those days, saith the Lord, I will not make a full end with you.

24~JEREMIAH 005|019` And it shall come to pass, when you shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God all these things to us? then shalt you answer them, like as you have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall you serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

24~JEREMIAH 005|020` Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 005|021` Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:

24~JEREMIAH 005|022` Fear you not me? saith the Lord: will you not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet ca

24~JEREMIAH 005|023` But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

24~JEREMIAH 005|024` Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

24~JEREMIAH 005|025` Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

24~JEREMIAH 005|026` For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

24~JEREMIAH 005|027` As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.

24~JEREMIAH 005|028` They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

24~JEREMIAH 005|029` Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

24~JEREMIAH 005|030` A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;

24~JEREMIAH 005|031` The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof?

24~JEREMIAH 006|001` O you children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appear out of the north, and great destruction.

24~JEREMIAH 006|002` I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.

24~JEREMIAH 006|003` The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.

24~JEREMIAH 006|004` Prepare you war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.

24~JEREMIAH 006|005` Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.

24~JEREMIAH 006|006` For thus hath the Lord of hosts said, Hew you down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.

24~JEREMIAH 006|007` As a fountain casts out her waters, so she casts out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.

24~JEREMIAH 006|008` Be you instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from you; lest I make you desolate, a land not inhabited.

24~JEREMIAH 006|009` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back yours hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.

24~JEREMIAH 006|010` To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the Lord is to them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

24~JEREMIAH 006|011` Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.

24~JEREMIAH 006|012` And their houses shall be turned to others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 006|013` For from the least of them even to the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.

24~JEREMIAH 006|014` They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

24~JEREMIAH 006|015` Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 006|016` Thus saith the Lord, Stand you in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

24~JEREMIAH 006|017` Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.

24~JEREMIAH 006|018` Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.

24~JEREMIAH 006|019` Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened to I-_ my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

24~JEREMIAH 006|020` To what purpose comes there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet to me.

24~JEREMIAH 006|021` Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.

24~JEREMIAH 006|022` Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people comes from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.

24~JEREMIAH 006|023` They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against you, O daughter of Zion.

24~JEREMIAH 006|024` We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

24~JEREMIAH 006|025` Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.

24~JEREMIAH 006|026` O daughter of my people, gird you with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make you mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.

24~JEREMIAH 006|027` I have set you for a tower and a fortress among my people, that you mayest know and try their way.

24~JEREMIAH 006|028` They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.

24~JEREMIAH 006|029` The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.

24~JEREMIAH 006|030` Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them.

24~JEREMIAH 007|001` The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 007|002` Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all you of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 007|003` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

24~JEREMIAH 007|004` Trust you not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.

24~JEREMIAH 007|005` For if you throughly amend your ways and your doings; if you throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;

24~JEREMIAH 007|006` If you oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

24~JEREMIAH 007|007` Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

24~JEREMIAH 007|008` Behold, you trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

24~JEREMIAH 007|009` Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you know not;

24~JEREMIAH 007|010` And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

24~JEREMIAH 007|011` Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 007|012` But go you now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

24~JEREMIAH 007|013` And now, because you have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you heard not; and I called you, but you answered not;

24~JEREMIAH 007|014` Therefore will I do to this house, which is called by my name, wherein you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

24~JEREMIAH 007|015` And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

24~JEREMIAH 007|016` Therefore pray not you for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear you.

24~JEREMIAH 007|017` Seest you not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

24~JEREMIAH 007|018` The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

24~JEREMIAH 007|019` Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?

24~JEREMIAH 007|020` Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

24~JEREMIAH 007|021` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

24~JEREMIAH 007|022` For I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

24~JEREMIAH 007|023` But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people: and walk you in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well to you.

24~JEREMIAH 007|024` But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

24~JEREMIAH 007|025` Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day I have even sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:

24~JEREMIAH 007|026` Yet they hearkened not to me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

24~JEREMIAH 007|027` Therefore you shalt speak all these words to them; but they will not hearken to you: you shalt also call to them; but they will not answer you.

24~JEREMIAH 007|028` But you shalt say to them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

24~JEREMIAH 007|029` Cut off yours hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

24~JEREMIAH 007|030` For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

24~JEREMIAH 007|031` And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters I-_ in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.

24~JEREMIAH 007|032` Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.

24~JEREMIAH 007|033` And the bodies of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.

24~JEREMIAH 007|034` Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.

24~JEREMIAH 008|001` At that time, saith the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:

24~JEREMIAH 008|002` And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, I-_ and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.

24~JEREMIAH 008|003` And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the Lord of hosts.

24~JEREMIAH 008|004` Moreover you shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?

24~JEREMIAH 008|005` Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

24~JEREMIAH 008|006` I hearkened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.

24~JEREMIAH 008|007` You, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 008|008` How do you say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.

24~JEREMIAH 008|009` The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?

24~JEREMIAH 008|010` Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.

24~JEREMIAH 008|011` For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

24~JEREMIAH 008|012` Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 008|013` I will surely consume them, saith the Lord: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.

24~JEREMIAH 008|014` Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 008|015` We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!

24~JEREMIAH 008|016` The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.

24~JEREMIAH 008|017` For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 008|018` When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.

24~JEREMIAH 008|019` Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: is not the Lord in Zion? is I-_ not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?

24~JEREMIAH 008|020` The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

24~JEREMIAH 008|021` For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.

24~JEREMIAH 008|022` Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

24~JEREMIAH 009|001` Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!

24~JEREMIAH 009|002` Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.

24~JEREMIAH 009|003` And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 009|004` Take you heed every one of his neighbour, and trust you not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.

24~JEREMIAH 009|005` And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.

24~JEREMIAH 009|006` Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 009|007` Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?

24~JEREMIAH 009|008` Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.

24~JEREMIAH 009|009` Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

24~JEREMIAH 009|010` For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.

24~JEREMIAH 009|011` And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.

24~JEREMIAH 009|012` Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?

24~JEREMIAH 009|013` And the Lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;

24~JEREMIAH 009|014` But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

24~JEREMIAH 009|015` Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

24~JEREMIAH 009|016` I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.

24~JEREMIAH 009|017` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider you, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:

24~JEREMIAH 009|018` And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.

24~JEREMIAH 009|019` For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

24~JEREMIAH 009|020` Yet hear the word of the Lord, O you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.

24~JEREMIAH 009|021` For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.

24~JEREMIAH 009|022` Speak, Thus saith the Lord, Even the bodies of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.

24~JEREMIAH 009|023` Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

24~JEREMIAH 009|024` But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 009|025` Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;

24~JEREMIAH 009|026` Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.

24~JEREMIAH 010|001` Hear you the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel:

24~JEREMIAH 010|002` Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

24~JEREMIAH 010|003` For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

24~JEREMIAH 010|004` They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

24~JEREMIAH 010|005` They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

24~JEREMIAH 010|006` Forasmuch as there is none like to you, O Lord; you art great, and thy name is great in might.

24~JEREMIAH 010|007` Who would not fear you, O King of nations? for to you doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like to you.

24~JEREMIAH 010|008` But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.

24~JEREMIAH 010|009` Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.

24~JEREMIAH 010|010` But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to stay his indignation.

24~JEREMIAH 010|011` Thus shall you say to them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

24~JEREMIAH 010|012` He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

24~JEREMIAH 010|013` When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasures.

24~JEREMIAH 010|014` Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

24~JEREMIAH 010|015` They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

24~JEREMIAH 010|016` The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.

24~JEREMIAH 010|017` Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.

24~JEREMIAH 010|018` For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.

24~JEREMIAH 010|019` Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.

24~JEREMIAH 010|020` My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

24~JEREMIAH 010|021` For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the Lord: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

24~JEREMIAH 010|022` Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.

24~JEREMIAH 010|023` O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

24~JEREMIAH 010|024` O Lord, correct me, but with judgment; not in yours anger, lest you bring me to nothing.

24~JEREMIAH 010|025` Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know you not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

24~JEREMIAH 011|001` The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying,

24~JEREMIAH 011|002` Hear you the words of this covenient, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

24~JEREMIAH 011|003` And say you to them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenient,

24~JEREMIAH 011|004` Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall you be my people, and I will be your God:

24~JEREMIAH 011|005` That I may perform the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 011|006` Then the Lord said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear you the words of this covenient, and do them.

24~JEREMIAH 011|007` For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.

24~JEREMIAH 011|008` Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenient, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not.

24~JEREMIAH 011|009` And the Lord said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

24~JEREMIAH 011|010` They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenient which I made with their fathers.

24~JEREMIAH 011|011` Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry to me, I will not hearken to them.

24~JEREMIAH 011|012` Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry to the gods to whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

24~JEREMIAH 011|013` For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.

24~JEREMIAH 011|014` Therefore pray not you for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me for their trouble.

24~JEREMIAH 011|015` What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from you? when you doest evil, then you rejoicest.

24~JEREMIAH 011|016` The Lord called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.

24~JEREMIAH 011|017` For the Lord of hosts, that planted you, hath pronounced evil against you, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense to Baal.

24~JEREMIAH 011|018` And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then you shewedst me their doings.

24~JEREMIAH 011|019` But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

24~JEREMIAH 011|020` But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for to you have I revealed my cause.

24~JEREMIAH 011|021` Therefore thus saith the Lord of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the Lord, that you die not by our hand:

24~JEREMIAH 011|022` Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:

24~JEREMIAH 011|023` And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

24~JEREMIAH 012|001` Righteous art you, O Lord, when I plead with you: yet let me talk with you of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?

24~JEREMIAH 012|002` You hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: you art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.

24~JEREMIAH 012|003` But you, O Lord, knowest me: you hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward you: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

24~JEREMIAH 012|004` How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.

24~JEREMIAH 012|005` If you hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how canst you contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein you trustedst, they wearied you, then how wilt I-_ you do in the swelling of Jordan?

24~JEREMIAH 012|006` For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; yea, they have called a multitude after you: believe them not, though they speak fair words to you.

24~JEREMIAH 012|007` I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

24~JEREMIAH 012|008` Mine heritage is to me as a lion in the forest; it cries out against me: therefore have I hated it.

24~JEREMIAH 012|009` Mine heritage is to me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come you, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.

24~JEREMIAH 012|010` Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

24~JEREMIAH 012|011` They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth to me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.

24~JEREMIAH 012|012` The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the Lord shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.

24~JEREMIAH 012|013` They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 012|014` Thus saith the Lord against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

24~JEREMIAH 012|015` And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.

24~JEREMIAH 012|016` And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The Lord liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst I-_ of my people.

24~JEREMIAH 012|017` But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 013|001` Thus saith the Lord to me, Go and get you a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.

24~JEREMIAH 013|002` So I got a girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it on my loins.

24~JEREMIAH 013|003` And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 013|004` Take the girdle that you hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

24~JEREMIAH 013|005` So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.

24~JEREMIAH 013|006` And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from there, which I commanded you to hide there.

24~JEREMIAH 013|007` Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

24~JEREMIAH 013|008` Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 013|009` Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

24~JEREMIAH 013|010` This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.

24~JEREMIAH 013|011` For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the Lord; that they might be to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

24~JEREMIAH 013|012` Therefore you shalt speak to them this word; Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say to you, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

24~JEREMIAH 013|013` Then shalt you say to them, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

24~JEREMIAH 013|014` And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the Lord: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.

24~JEREMIAH 013|015` Hear you, and give ear; be not proud: for the Lord hath spoken.

24~JEREMIAH 013|016` Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

24~JEREMIAH 013|017` But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lord's flock is carried away captive.

24~JEREMIAH 013|018` Say to the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.

24~JEREMIAH 013|019` The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.

24~JEREMIAH 013|020` Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given you, thy beautiful flock?

24~JEREMIAH 013|021` What wilt you say when he shall punish you? for you hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over you: shall not sorrows take you, as a woman in travail?

24~JEREMIAH 013|022` And if you say in yours heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of yours iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare.

24~JEREMIAH 013|023` Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may you also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

24~JEREMIAH 013|024` Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.

24~JEREMIAH 013|025` This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the Lord; because you hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

24~JEREMIAH 013|026` Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.

24~JEREMIAH 013|027` I have seen yours adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and yours abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! wilt you not be made clean? when shall it once be?

24~JEREMIAH 014|001` The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.

24~JEREMIAH 014|002` Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black to the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

24~JEREMIAH 014|003` And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.

24~JEREMIAH 014|004` Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.

24~JEREMIAH 014|005` You, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.

24~JEREMIAH 014|006` And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.

24~JEREMIAH 014|007` O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do you it for thy name's sake: for our backsliding are many; we have sinned against you.

24~JEREMIAH 014|008` O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest you be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?

24~JEREMIAH 014|009` Why shouldest you be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet you, O Lord, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.

24~JEREMIAH 014|010` Thus saith the Lord to this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the Lord doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.

24~JEREMIAH 014|011` Then said the Lord to me, Pray not for this people for their good.

24~JEREMIAH 014|012` When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

24~JEREMIAH 014|013` Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, the prophets say to them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.

24~JEREMIAH 014|014` Then the Lord said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke to them: they prophesy to you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

24~JEREMIAH 014|015` Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.

24~JEREMIAH 014|016` And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.

24~JEREMIAH 014|017` Therefore you shalt say this word to them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.

24~JEREMIAH 014|018` If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.

24~JEREMIAH 014|019` Have you utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast you smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!

24~JEREMIAH 014|020` We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against you.

24~JEREMIAH 014|021` Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenient with us.

24~JEREMIAH 014|022` Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not you he, O Lord our God? therefore we will wait upon you: for you hast made all these things.

24~JEREMIAH 015|001` Then said the Lord to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.

24~JEREMIAH 015|002` And it shall come to pass, if they say to you, Whither shall we go forth? then you shalt tell them, Thus saith the Lord; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity

24~JEREMIAH 015|003` And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the Lord: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.

24~JEREMIAH 015|004` And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.

24~JEREMIAH 015|005` For who shall have pity upon you, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan you? or who shall go aside to ask how you doest?

24~JEREMIAH 015|006` You hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, you art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against you, and destroy you; I am weary with repenting.

24~JEREMIAH 015|007` And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways.

24~JEREMIAH 015|008` Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.

24~JEREMIAH 015|009` She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the Ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 015|010` Woe is me, my mother, that you hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.

24~JEREMIAH 015|011` The Lord said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat you well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

24~JEREMIAH 015|012` Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?

24~JEREMIAH 015|013` Your substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.

24~JEREMIAH 015|014` And I will make you to pass with yours enemies into a land which you knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.

24~JEREMIAH 015|015` O Lord, you knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.

24~JEREMIAH 015|016` Your words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was to me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.

24~JEREMIAH 015|017` I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for you hast filled me with indignation.

24~JEREMIAH 015|018` Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt you be altogether to me as a liar, and as waters that fail?

24~JEREMIAH 015|019` Therefore thus saith the Lord, If you return, then will I bring you again, and you shalt stand before me: and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shalt be as my mouth: let them return to you; but return not you to them.

24~JEREMIAH 015|020` And I will make you to this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 015|021` And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.

24~JEREMIAH 016|001` The word of the Lord came also to me, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 016|002` You shalt not take you a wife, neither shalt you have sons or daughters in this place.

24~JEREMIAH 016|003` 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 fathered them in this land;

24~JEREMIAH 016|004` 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 bodies shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

24~JEREMIAH 016|005` 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.

24~JEREMIAH 016|006` 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:

24~JEREMIAH 016|007` 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.

24~JEREMIAH 016|008` You shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.

24~JEREMIAH 016|009` 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.

24~JEREMIAH 016|010` And it shall come to pass, when you shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say to you, 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?

24~JEREMIAH 016|011` Then shalt you say to 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;

24~JEREMIAH 016|012` And you have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, you walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken to me:

24~JEREMIAH 016|013` Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that you know not, neither you nor your fathers; and there shall you serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.

24~JEREMIAH 016|014` 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;

24~JEREMIAH 016|015` 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 to their fathers.

24~JEREMIAH 016|016` 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.

24~JEREMIAH 016|017` For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.

24~JEREMIAH 016|018` And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the bodies of their detestable and abominable things.

24~JEREMIAH 016|019` O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come to you from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

24~JEREMIAH 016|020` Shall a man make gods to himself, and they are no gods?

24~JEREMIAH 016|021` 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.

24~JEREMIAH 017|001` The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;

24~JEREMIAH 017|002` Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.

24~JEREMIAH 017|003` O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.

24~JEREMIAH 017|004` And you, even thyself, shalt discontinue from yours heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve yours enemies in the land which you knowest not: for you have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.

24~JEREMIAH 017|005` Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 017|006` For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

24~JEREMIAH 017|007` Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

24~JEREMIAH 017|008` For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

24~JEREMIAH 017|009` The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

24~JEREMIAH 017|010` I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

24~JEREMIAH 017|011` As the partridge sits on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

24~JEREMIAH 017|012` A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

24~JEREMIAH 017|013` O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake you shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.

24~JEREMIAH 017|014` Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you art my praise.

24~JEREMIAH 017|015` Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.

24~JEREMIAH 017|016` As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow you: neither have I desired the woeful day; you knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before you.

24~JEREMIAH 017|017` Be not a terror to me: you art my hope in the day of evil.

24~JEREMIAH 017|018` Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

24~JEREMIAH 017|019` Thus said the Lord to me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

24~JEREMIAH 017|020` And say to them, Hear you the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:

24~JEREMIAH 017|021` Thus saith the Lord; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

24~JEREMIAH 017|022` Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do you any work, but hallow you the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

24~JEREMIAH 017|023` But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.

24~JEREMIAH 017|024` And it shall come to pass, if you diligently hearken to me, saith the Lord, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;

24~JEREMIAH 017|025` Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

24~JEREMIAH 017|026` And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, to the house of the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 017|027` But if you will not hearken to me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be qu

24~JEREMIAH 018|001` The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 018|002` Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear my words.

24~JEREMIAH 018|003` Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

24~JEREMIAH 018|004` And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

24~JEREMIAH 018|005` Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 018|006` O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in mine hand, O house of Israel.

24~JEREMIAH 018|007` At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

24~JEREMIAH 018|008` If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do to them.

24~JEREMIAH 018|009` And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

24~JEREMIAH 018|010` If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, where with I said I would benefit them.

24~JEREMIAH 018|011` Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return you now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

24~JEREMIAH 018|012` And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.

24~JEREMIAH 018|013` Therefore thus saith the Lord; Ask you now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.

24~JEREMIAH 018|014` Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which comes from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?

24~JEREMIAH 018|015` Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;

24~JEREMIAH 018|016` To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.

24~JEREMIAH 018|017` I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

24~JEREMIAH 018|018` Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

24~JEREMIAH 018|019` Give heed to me, O Lord, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.

24~JEREMIAH 018|020` Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before you to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

24~JEREMIAH 018|021` Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.

24~JEREMIAH 018|022` Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.

24~JEREMIAH 018|023` Yet, Lord, you knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before you; deal thus with them in the time of yours anger.

24~JEREMIAH 019|001` Thus saith the Lord, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;

24~JEREMIAH 019|002` And go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell you,

24~JEREMIAH 019|003` And say, Hear you the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.

24~JEREMIAH 019|004` Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;

24~JEREMIAH 019|005` They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind:

24~JEREMIAH 019|006` Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.

24~JEREMIAH 019|007` And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their bodies will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

24~JEREMIAH 019|008` And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.

24~JEREMIAH 019|009` And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, where with their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.

24~JEREMIAH 019|010` Then shalt you break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with you,

24~JEREMIAH 019|011` And shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.

24~JEREMIAH 019|012` Thus will I do to this place, saith the Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:

24~JEREMIAH 019|013` And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.

24~JEREMIAH 019|014` Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord's house; and said to all the people,

24~JEREMIAH 019|015` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.

24~JEREMIAH 020|001` Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.

24~JEREMIAH 020|002` Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 020|003` And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah to him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.

24~JEREMIAH 020|004` For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make you a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and yours eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay th

24~JEREMIAH 020|005` Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 020|006` And you, Pashur, and all that dwell in yours house shall go into captivity: and you shalt come to Babylon, and there you shalt die, and shalt be buried there, you, and all thy friends, to whom you hast prophesied lies.

24~JEREMIAH 020|007` O Lord, you hast deceived me, and I was deceived; you art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.

24~JEREMIAH 020|008` For since I spoke, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the Lord was made a reproach to me, and a derision, daily.

24~JEREMIAH 020|009` Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

24~JEREMIAH 020|010` For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

24~JEREMIAH 020|011` But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.

24~JEREMIAH 020|012` But, O Lord of hosts, that triest the righteous, and sees the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for to you have I opened my cause.

24~JEREMIAH 020|013` Sing to the Lord, praise you the Lord: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

24~JEREMIAH 020|014` Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.

24~JEREMIAH 020|015` Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born to you; making him very glad.

24~JEREMIAH 020|016` And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;

24~JEREMIAH 020|017` Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.

24~JEREMIAH 020|018` Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

24~JEREMIAH 021|001` The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when king Zedekiah sent to him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 021|002` Inquire, I pray you, of the Lord for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the Lord will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.

24~JEREMIAH 021|003` Then said Jeremiah to them, Thus shall you say to Zedekiah:

24~JEREMIAH 021|004` Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, where with you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.

24~JEREMIAH 021|005` And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.

24~JEREMIAH 021|006` And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.

24~JEREMIAH 021|007` And afterward, saith the Lord, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

24~JEREMIAH 021|008` And to this people you shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.

24~JEREMIAH 021|009` He that stay in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey.

24~JEREMIAH 021|010` For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.

24~JEREMIAH 021|011` And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear you the word of the Lord;

24~JEREMIAH 021|012` O house of David, thus saith the Lord; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

24~JEREMIAH 021|013` Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the Lord; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

24~JEREMIAH 021|014` But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

24~JEREMIAH 022|001` Thus saith the Lord; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,

24~JEREMIAH 022|002` And say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, you, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:

24~JEREMIAH 022|003` Thus saith the Lord; Execute you judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.

24~JEREMIAH 022|004` For if you do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.

24~JEREMIAH 022|005` But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.

24~JEREMIAH 022|006` For thus saith the Lord to the king's house of Judah; you art Gilead to me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make you a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.

24~JEREMIAH 022|007` And I will prepare destroyers against you, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.

24~JEREMIAH 022|008` And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus to this great city?

24~JEREMIAH 022|009` Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenient of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.

24~JEREMIAH 022|010` Weep you not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.

24~JEREMIAH 022|011` For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return there any more:

24~JEREMIAH 022|012` But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

24~JEREMIAH 022|013` Woe to him that builds his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;

24~JEREMIAH 022|014` That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cuts him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.

24~JEREMIAH 022|015` Shalt you reign, because you closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?

24~JEREMIAH 022|016` He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 022|017` But yours eyes and yours heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.

24~JEREMIAH 022|018` Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!

24~JEREMIAH 022|019` He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

24~JEREMIAH 022|020` Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.

24~JEREMIAH 022|021` I spoke to you in thy prosperity; but you saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that you obeyedst not my voice.

24~JEREMIAH 022|022` The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt you be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.

24~JEREMIAH 022|023` O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt you be when pangs come upon you, the pain as of a woman in travail!

24~JEREMIAH 022|024` As I live, saith the Lord, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck you there;

24~JEREMIAH 022|025` And I will give you into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face you fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

24~JEREMIAH 022|026` And I will cast you out, and thy mother that bare you, into another country, where you were not born; and there shall you die.

24~JEREMIAH 022|027` But to the land whereunto they desire to return, there shall they not return.

24~JEREMIAH 022|028` Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?

24~JEREMIAH 022|029` O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 022|030` Thus saith the Lord, Write you this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 023|001` Woe be to the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 023|002` Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 023|003` And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

24~JEREMIAH 023|004` And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 023|005` Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

24~JEREMIAH 023|006` In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

24~JEREMIAH 023|007` Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

24~JEREMIAH 023|008` But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

24~JEREMIAH 023|009` Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness.

24~JEREMIAH 023|010` For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.

24~JEREMIAH 023|011` For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 023|012` Wherefore their way shall be to them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 023|013` And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

24~JEREMIAH 023|014` I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them to me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

24~JEREMIAH 023|015` Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.

24~JEREMIAH 023|016` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 023|017` They say still to them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say to every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

24~JEREMIAH 023|018` For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?

24~JEREMIAH 023|019` Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

24~JEREMIAH 023|020` The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days you shall consider it perfectly.

24~JEREMIAH 023|021` I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

24~JEREMIAH 023|022` But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

24~JEREMIAH 023|023` Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?

24~JEREMIAH 023|024` Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 023|025` I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

24~JEREMIAH 023|026` How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

24~JEREMIAH 023|027` Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

24~JEREMIAH 023|028` The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 023|029` Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

24~JEREMIAH 023|030` Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

24~JEREMIAH 023|031` Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

24~JEREMIAH 023|032` Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 023|033` And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? you shalt then say to them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 023|034` And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even punish that man and his house.

24~JEREMIAH 023|035` Thus shall you say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and, What hath the Lord spoken?

24~JEREMIAH 023|036` And the burden of the Lord shall you mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.

24~JEREMIAH 023|037` Thus shalt you say to the prophet, What hath the Lord answered you? and, What hath the Lord spoken?

24~JEREMIAH 023|038` But since you say, The burden of the Lord; therefore thus saith the Lord; Because you say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent to you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord;

24~JEREMIAH 023|039` Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:

24~JEREMIAH 023|040` And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

24~JEREMIAH 024|001` The Lord shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the Lord, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 024|002` One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

24~JEREMIAH 024|003` Then said the Lord to me, What sees you, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

24~JEREMIAH 024|004` Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 024|005` Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.

24~JEREMIAH 024|006` For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

24~JEREMIAH 024|007` And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return to me with their whole heart.

24~JEREMIAH 024|008` And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the Lord, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:

24~JEREMIAH 024|009` And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.

24~JEREMIAH 024|010` And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.

24~JEREMIAH 025|001` The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;

24~JEREMIAH 025|002` The which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 025|003` From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even to this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord hath come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but you have not hearkened.

24~JEREMIAH 025|004` And the Lord hath sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but you have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.

24~JEREMIAH 025|005` They said, Turn you again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord hath given to you and to your fathers for ever and ever:

24~JEREMIAH 025|006` And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

24~JEREMIAH 025|007` Yet you have not hearkened to me, saith the Lord; that you might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.

24~JEREMIAH 025|008` Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Because you have not heard my words,

24~JEREMIAH 025|009` Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.

24~JEREMIAH 025|010` Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.

24~JEREMIAH 025|011` And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

24~JEREMIAH 025|012` And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

24~JEREMIAH 025|013` And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.

24~JEREMIAH 025|014` For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

24~JEREMIAH 025|015` For thus saith the Lord God of Israel to me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.

24~JEREMIAH 025|016` And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

24~JEREMIAH 025|017` Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the Lord had sent me:

24~JEREMIAH 025|018` To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;

24~JEREMIAH 025|019` Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

24~JEREMIAH 025|020` And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,

24~JEREMIAH 025|021` Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,

24~JEREMIAH 025|022` And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,

24~JEREMIAH 025|023` Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,

24~JEREMIAH 025|024` And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,

24~JEREMIAH 025|025` And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,

24~JEREMIAH 025|026` And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

24~JEREMIAH 025|027` Therefore you shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink you, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

24~JEREMIAH 025|028` And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at yours hand to drink, then shalt you say to them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.

24~JEREMIAH 025|029` For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should you be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.

24~JEREMIAH 025|030` Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and say to them, The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants

24~JEREMIAH 025|031` A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 025|032` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

24~JEREMIAH 025|033` And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

24~JEREMIAH 025|034` Howl, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, you principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and you shall fall like a pleasant vessel.

24~JEREMIAH 025|035` And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.

24~JEREMIAH 025|036` A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture.

24~JEREMIAH 025|037` And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 025|038` He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.

24~JEREMIAH 026|001` In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the Lord, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 026|002` Thus saith the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the Lord's house, all the words that I command you to speak to them; diminish not a word:

24~JEREMIAH 026|003` If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.

24~JEREMIAH 026|004` And you shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord; If you will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

24~JEREMIAH 026|005` To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to you, both rising up early, and sending them, but you have not hearkened;

24~JEREMIAH 026|006` Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

24~JEREMIAH 026|007` So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 026|008` Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, You shalt surely die.

24~JEREMIAH 026|009` Why hast you prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 026|010` When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house to the house of the Lord, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the Lord's house.

24~JEREMIAH 026|011` Then spoke the priests and the prophets to the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.

24~JEREMIAH 026|012` Then spoke Jeremiah to all the princes and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

24~JEREMIAH 026|013` Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God; and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.

24~JEREMIAH 026|014` As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seems good and meet to you.

24~JEREMIAH 026|015` But know you for certain, that if you put me to death, you shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the Lord hath sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.

24~JEREMIAH 026|016` Then said the princes and all the people to the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.

24~JEREMIAH 026|017` Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 026|018` Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

24~JEREMIAH 026|019` Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the Lord, and besought the Lord, and the Lord repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.

24~JEREMIAH 026|020` And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the Lord, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.

24~JEREMIAH 026|021` And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;

24~JEREMIAH 026|022` And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.

24~JEREMIAH 026|023` And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.

24~JEREMIAH 026|024` Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.

24~JEREMIAH 027|001` In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 027|002` Thus saith the Lord to me; Make you bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,

24~JEREMIAH 027|003` And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;

24~JEREMIAH 027|004` And command them to say to their masters, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall you say to your masters;

24~JEREMIAH 027|005` I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed meet to me.

24~JEREMIAH 027|006` And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.

24~JEREMIAH 027|007` And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.

24~JEREMIAH 027|008` And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

24~JEREMIAH 027|009` Therefore hearken not you to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:

24~JEREMIAH 027|010` For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.

24~JEREMIAH 027|011` But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the Lord; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.

24~JEREMIAH 027|012` I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

24~JEREMIAH 027|013` Why will you die, you and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

24~JEREMIAH 027|014` Therefore hearken not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.

24~JEREMIAH 027|015` For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that you might perish, you, and the prophets that prophesy to you.

24~JEREMIAH 027|016` Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie

24~JEREMIAH 027|017` Hearken not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?

24~JEREMIAH 027|018` But if they be prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 027|019` For thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city.

24~JEREMIAH 027|020` Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

24~JEREMIAH 027|021` You, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;

24~JEREMIAH 027|022` They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the Lord; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.

24~JEREMIAH 028|001` And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 028|002` Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 028|003` Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the Lord's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:

24~JEREMIAH 028|004` And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the Lord: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 028|005` Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord,

24~JEREMIAH 028|006` Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the Lord do so: the Lord perform thy words which you hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the Lord's house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.

24~JEREMIAH 028|007` Nevertheless hear you now this word that I speak in yours ears, and in the ears of all the people;

24~JEREMIAH 028|008` The prophets that have been before me and before you of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.

24~JEREMIAH 028|009` The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the Lord hath truly sent him.

24~JEREMIAH 028|010` Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.

24~JEREMIAH 028|011` And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

24~JEREMIAH 028|012` Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 028|013` Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord; You hast broken the yokes of wood; but you shalt make for them yokes of iron.

24~JEREMIAH 028|014` For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.

24~JEREMIAH 028|015` Then said the prophet Jeremiah to Hananiah the prophet, hear now, Hananiah; The Lord hath not sent you; but you makest this people to trust in a lie.

24~JEREMIAH 028|016` Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will cast you from off the face of the earth: this year you shalt die, because you hast taught rebellion against the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 028|017` So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

24~JEREMIAH 029|001` Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;

24~JEREMIAH 029|002` (After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)

24~JEREMIAH 029|003` By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,

24~JEREMIAH 029|004` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon;

24~JEREMIAH 029|005` Build you houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;

24~JEREMIAH 029|006` Take you wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that you may be increased there, and not diminished.

24~JEREMIAH 029|007` And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray to the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall you have peace.

24~JEREMIAH 029|008` For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.

24~JEREMIAH 029|009` For they prophesy falsely to you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 029|010` For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.

24~JEREMIAH 029|011` For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

24~JEREMIAH 029|012` Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will hearken to you.

24~JEREMIAH 029|013` And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.

24~JEREMIAH 029|014` And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place where I caused you to be carried away captive.

24~JEREMIAH 029|015` Because you have said, The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;

24~JEREMIAH 029|016` Know that thus saith the Lord of the king that sits upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;

24~JEREMIAH 029|017` Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

24~JEREMIAH 029|018` And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:

24~JEREMIAH 029|019` Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord, which I sent to them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not hear, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 029|020` Hear you therefore the word of the Lord, all you of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:

24~JEREMIAH 029|021` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie to you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;

24~JEREMIAH 029|022` And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The Lord make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;

24~JEREMIAH 029|023` Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 029|024` Thus shalt you also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 029|025` Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because you hast sent letters in thy name to all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 029|026` The Lord hath made you priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that you should be officers in the house of the Lord, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that you shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks.

24~JEREMIAH 029|027` Now therefore why hast you not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?

24~JEREMIAH 029|028` For therefore he sent to us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build you houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

24~JEREMIAH 029|029` And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

24~JEREMIAH 029|030` Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 029|031` Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:

24~JEREMIAH 029|032` Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the Lord; because he hath taught rebellion against the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 030|001` The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 030|002` Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write you all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.

24~JEREMIAH 030|003` For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

24~JEREMIAH 030|004` And these are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 030|005` For thus saith the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

24~JEREMIAH 030|006` Ask you now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

24~JEREMIAH 030|007` Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

24~JEREMIAH 030|008` For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:

24~JEREMIAH 030|009` But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.

24~JEREMIAH 030|010` Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save you from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

24~JEREMIAH 030|011` For I am with you, saith the Lord, to save you: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered you, yet will I not make a full end of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished.

24~JEREMIAH 030|012` For thus saith the Lord, Your bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

24~JEREMIAH 030|013` There is none to plead thy cause, that you mayest be bound up: you hast no healing medicines.

24~JEREMIAH 030|014` All thy lovers have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of yours iniquity; because thy sins were increased.

24~JEREMIAH 030|015` Why criest you for yours affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of yours iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things to you.

24~JEREMIAH 030|016` Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; and all yours adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon you will I give for a prey.

24~JEREMIAH 030|017` For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.

24~JEREMIAH 030|018` Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

24~JEREMIAH 030|019` And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

24~JEREMIAH 030|020` Their children also shall be as before, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

24~JEREMIAH 030|021` And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach to me? saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 030|022` And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

24~JEREMIAH 030|023` Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.

24~JEREMIAH 030|024` The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall consider it.

24~JEREMIAH 031|001` At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

24~JEREMIAH 031|002` Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

24~JEREMIAH 031|003` The Lord hath appeared of old to me, saying, You, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you.

24~JEREMIAH 031|004` Again I will build you, and you shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: you shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

24~JEREMIAH 031|005` You shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.

24~JEREMIAH 031|006` For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise you, and let us go up to Zion to the Lord our God.

24~JEREMIAH 031|007` For thus saith the Lord; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish you, praise you, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.

24~JEREMIAH 031|008` Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return there.

24~JEREMIAH 031|009` They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

24~JEREMIAH 031|010` Hear the word of the Lord, O you nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.

24~JEREMIAH 031|011` For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.

24~JEREMIAH 031|012` Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

24~JEREMIAH 031|013` Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

24~JEREMIAH 031|014` And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 031|015` Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.

24~JEREMIAH 031|016` Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and yours eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

24~JEREMIAH 031|017` And there is hope in yours end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border.

24~JEREMIAH 031|018` I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; You hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you art the Lord my God.

24~JEREMIAH 031|019` Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.

24~JEREMIAH 031|020` Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 031|021` Set you up waymarks, make you high heaps: set yours heart toward the highway, even the way which you wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.

24~JEREMIAH 031|022` How long wilt you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.

24~JEREMIAH 031|023` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; the Lord bless you, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.

24~JEREMIAH 031|024` And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.

24~JEREMIAH 031|025` For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.

24~JEREMIAH 031|026` Upon this I awaked, and beheld; my sleep was sweet to me.

24~JEREMIAH 031|027` Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

24~JEREMIAH 031|028` And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 031|029` In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.

24~JEREMIAH 031|030` But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

24~JEREMIAH 031|031` Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenient with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

24~JEREMIAH 031|032` Not according to the covenient that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenient they brake, although I was an husband to them, saith the Lord:

24~JEREMIAH 031|033` But this shall be the covenient that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

24~JEREMIAH 031|034` And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

24~JEREMIAH 031|035` Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name:

24~JEREMIAH 031|036` If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

24~JEREMIAH 031|037` Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 031|038` Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel to the gate of the corner.

24~JEREMIAH 031|039` And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.

24~JEREMIAH 031|040` And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook of Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy to the Lord; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.

24~JEREMIAH 032|001` The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

24~JEREMIAH 032|002` For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house.

24~JEREMIAH 032|003` For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost you prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

24~JEREMIAH 032|004` And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

24~JEREMIAH 032|005` And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the Lord: though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper.

24~JEREMIAH 032|006` And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 032|007` Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum yours uncle shall come to you saying, Buy you my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.

24~JEREMIAH 032|008` So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said to me, Buy my field, I pray you, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 032|009` And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.

24~JEREMIAH 032|010` And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

24~JEREMIAH 032|011` So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:

24~JEREMIAH 032|012` And I gave the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews [3064]that sat in the court of the prison.

24~JEREMIAH 032|013` And I charged Baruch before them, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 032|014` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.

24~JEREMIAH 032|015` For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.

24~JEREMIAH 032|016` Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 032|017` Ah Lord God! behold, you hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for you:

24~JEREMIAH 032|018` You shewest lovingkindness to thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name,

24~JEREMIAH 032|019` Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for yours eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

24~JEREMIAH 032|020` Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made you a name, as at this day;

24~JEREMIAH 032|021` And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;

24~JEREMIAH 032|022` And hast given them this land, which you didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

24~JEREMIAH 032|023` And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that you command them to do: therefore you hast caused all this evil to come upon them:

24~JEREMIAH 032|024` Behold the mounts, they are come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what you hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, you sees it.

24~JEREMIAH 032|025` And you hast said to me, O Lord God, Buy you the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

24~JEREMIAH 032|026` Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 032|027` Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

24~JEREMIAH 032|028` Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

24~JEREMIAH 032|029` And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.

24~JEREMIAH 032|030` For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 032|031` For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

24~JEREMIAH 032|032` Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

24~JEREMIAH 032|033` And they have turned to me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.

24~JEREMIAH 032|034` But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

24~JEREMIAH 032|035` And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

24~JEREMIAH 032|036` And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof you say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;

24~JEREMIAH 032|037` Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:

24~JEREMIAH 032|038` And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

24~JEREMIAH 032|039` And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

24~JEREMIAH 032|040` And I will make an everlasting covenient with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

24~JEREMIAH 032|041` You, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

24~JEREMIAH 032|042` For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.

24~JEREMIAH 032|043` And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof you say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

24~JEREMIAH 032|044` Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 033|001` Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 033|002` Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;

24~JEREMIAH 033|003` Call to me, and I will answer you, and shew you great and mighty things, which you knowest not.

24~JEREMIAH 033|004` For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;

24~JEREMIAH 033|005` They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.

24~JEREMIAH 033|006` Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them and will reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.

24~JEREMIAH 033|007` And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.

24~JEREMIAH 033|008` And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

24~JEREMIAH 033|009` And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure to it.

24~JEREMIAH 033|010` Thus saith the Lord; Again there shall be heard in this place, which you say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,

24~JEREMIAH 033|011` The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 033|012` Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.

24~JEREMIAH 033|013` In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that tells them, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 033|014` Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 033|015` In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

24~JEREMIAH 033|016` In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name where with she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.

24~JEREMIAH 033|017` For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

24~JEREMIAH 033|018` Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

24~JEREMIAH 033|019` And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 033|020` Thus saith the Lord; If you can break my covenient of the day, and my covenient of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

24~JEREMIAH 033|021` Then may also my covenient be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

24~JEREMIAH 033|022` As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister to me.

24~JEREMIAH 033|023` Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 033|024` Considerest you not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

24~JEREMIAH 033|025` Thus saith the Lord; If my covenient be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

24~JEREMIAH 033|026` Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

24~JEREMIAH 034|001` The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 034|002` Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:

24~JEREMIAH 034|003` And you shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and yours eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth, and you shalt go to Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 034|004` Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the Lord of you, You shalt not die by the sword:

24~JEREMIAH 034|005` But you shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before you, so shall they burn odours for you; and they will lament you, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 034|006` Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

24~JEREMIAH 034|007` When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 034|008` This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenient with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;

24~JEREMIAH 034|009` That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew [1881]his brother.

24~JEREMIAH 034|010` Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenient, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.

24~JEREMIAH 034|011` But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

24~JEREMIAH 034|012` Therefore the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 034|013` Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; I made a covenient with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slave, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 034|014` At the end of seven years let you go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold to you; and when he hath served you six years, you shalt let him go free from you: but your fathers hearkened not to me, neither inclined their ear.

24~JEREMIAH 034|015` And you were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and you had made a covenient before me in the house which is called by my name:

24~JEREMIAH 034|016` But you turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom you had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.

24~JEREMIAH 034|017` Therefore thus saith the Lord; Ye have not hearkened to me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the

24~JEREMIAH 034|018` And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenient, which have not performed the words of the covenient which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,

24~JEREMIAH 034|019` The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;

24~JEREMIAH 034|020` I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat to the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.

24~JEREMIAH 034|021` And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.

24~JEREMIAH 034|022` Behold, I will command, saith the Lord, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.

24~JEREMIAH 035|001` The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 035|002` Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.

24~JEREMIAH 035|003` Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;

24~JEREMIAH 035|004` And I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:

24~JEREMIAH 035|005` And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, Drink you wine.

24~JEREMIAH 035|006` But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither you, nor your sons for ever:

24~JEREMIAH 035|007` Neither shall you build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days you shall dwell in tents; that you may live many days in the land where you be strangers.

24~JEREMIAH 035|008` Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;

24~JEREMIAH 035|009` Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

24~JEREMIAH 035|010` But we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

24~JEREMIAH 035|011` But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.

24~JEREMIAH 035|012` Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 035|013` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will you not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 035|014` The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for to this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but you hearkened not to me.

24~JEREMIAH 035|015` I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return you now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your f

24~JEREMIAH 035|016` Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened to me:

24~JEREMIAH 035|017` Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.

24~JEREMIAH 035|018` And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he hath commanded you:

24~JEREMIAH 035|019` Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.

24~JEREMIAH 036|001` And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 036|002` Take you a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.

24~JEREMIAH 036|003` It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

24~JEREMIAH 036|004` Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken to him, upon a roll of a book.

24~JEREMIAH 036|005` And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the Lord:

24~JEREMIAH 036|006` Therefore go you, and read in the roll, which you hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord in the ears of the people in the Lord's house upon the fasting day: and also you shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.

24~JEREMIAH 036|007` It may be they will present their supplication before the Lord, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the Lord hath pronounced against this people.

24~JEREMIAH 036|008` And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.

24~JEREMIAH 036|009` And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem.

24~JEREMIAH 036|010` Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the Lord's house, in the ears of all the people.

24~JEREMIAH 036|011` When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the Lord,

24~JEREMIAH 036|012` Then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.

24~JEREMIAH 036|013` Then Michaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.

24~JEREMIAH 036|014` Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in yours hand the roll wherein you hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came to them.

24~JEREMIAH 036|015` And they said to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.

24~JEREMIAH 036|016` Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.

24~JEREMIAH 036|017` And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst you write all these words at his mouth?

24~JEREMIAH 036|018` Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.

24~JEREMIAH 036|019` Then said the princes to Baruch, Go, hide you, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you be.

24~JEREMIAH 036|020` And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.

24~JEREMIAH 036|021` So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.

24~JEREMIAH 036|022` Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.

24~JEREMIAH 036|023` And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.

24~JEREMIAH 036|024` Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

24~JEREMIAH 036|025` Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.

24~JEREMIAH 036|026` But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord hid them.

24~JEREMIAH 036|027` Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 036|028` Take you again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.

24~JEREMIAH 036|029` And you shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the Lord; You hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast you written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from there man and beast?

24~JEREMIAH 036|030` Therefore thus saith the Lord of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.

24~JEREMIAH 036|031` And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.

24~JEREMIAH 036|032` Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides to them many like words.

24~JEREMIAH 037|001` And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 037|002` But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken to the words of the Lord, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.

24~JEREMIAH 037|003` And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to the Lord our God for us.

24~JEREMIAH 037|004` Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.

24~JEREMIAH 037|005` Then Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.

24~JEREMIAH 037|006` Then came the word of the Lord to the prophet Jeremiah saying,

24~JEREMIAH 037|007` Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Thus shall you say to the king of Judah, that sent you to me to inquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.

24~JEREMIAH 037|008` And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.

24~JEREMIAH 037|009` Thus saith the Lord; deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.

24~JEREMIAH 037|010` For though you had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.

24~JEREMIAH 037|011` And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,

24~JEREMIAH 037|012` Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself there in the midst of the people.

24~JEREMIAH 037|013` And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You fallest away to the Chaldeans.

24~JEREMIAH 037|014` Then said Jeremiah, it is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.

24~JEREMIAH 037|015` Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.

24~JEREMIAH 037|016` When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;

24~JEREMIAH 037|017` Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, you shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 037|018` Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, What have I offended against you, or against thy servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?

24~JEREMIAH 037|019` Where are now your prophets which prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?

24~JEREMIAH 037|020` Therefore hear now, I pray you, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray you, be accepted before you; that you cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.

24~JEREMIAH 037|021` Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

24~JEREMIAH 038|001` Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken to all the people, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 038|002` Thus saith the Lord, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.

24~JEREMIAH 038|003` Thus saith the Lord, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.

24~JEREMIAH 038|004` Therefore the princes said to the king, We beseech you, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them: for this man seeks not the welfare of this people, but t

24~JEREMIAH 038|005` Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.

24~JEREMIAH 038|006` Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.

24~JEREMIAH 038|007` Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;

24~JEREMIAH 038|008` Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king saying,

24~JEREMIAH 038|009` My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.

24~JEREMIAH 038|010` Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.

24~JEREMIAH 038|011` So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took there old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

24~JEREMIAH 038|012` And Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under yours armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

24~JEREMIAH 038|013` So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

24~JEREMIAH 038|014` Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that is in the house of the Lord: and the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask you a thing; hide nothing from me.

24~JEREMIAH 038|015` Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to you, wilt you not surely put me to death? and if I give you counsel, wilt you not hearken to me?

24~JEREMIAH 038|016` So Zedekiah the king sware secretly to Jeremiah, saying, As the Lord liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men that seek thy life.

24~JEREMIAH 038|017` Then said Jeremiah to Zedekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If you wilt assuredly go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and you shalt live, and yours house:

24~JEREMIAH 038|018` But if you wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shalt not escape out of their hand.

24~JEREMIAH 038|019` And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews [3064]that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.

24~JEREMIAH 038|020` But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver you. Obey, I beseech you, the voice of the Lord, which I speak to you: so it shall be well to you, and thy soul shall live.

24~JEREMIAH 038|021` But if you refuse to go forth, this is the word that the Lord hath shewed me:

24~JEREMIAH 038|022` And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Your friends have set you on, and have prevailed against you: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.

24~JEREMIAH 038|023` So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and you shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and you shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.

24~JEREMIAH 038|024` Then said Zedekiah to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and you shalt not die.

24~JEREMIAH 038|025` But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and say to you, Declare to us now what you hast said to the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put you to death; also what the king said to you:

24~JEREMIAH 038|026` Then you shalt say to them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.

24~JEREMIAH 038|027` Then came all the princes to Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.

24~JEREMIAH 038|028` So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.

24~JEREMIAH 039|001` In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.

24~JEREMIAH 039|002` And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up.

24~JEREMIAH 039|003` And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 039|004` And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.

24~JEREMIAH 039|005` But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.

24~JEREMIAH 039|006` Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 039|007` Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 039|008` And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.

24~JEREMIAH 039|009` Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.

24~JEREMIAH 039|010` But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

24~JEREMIAH 039|011` Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 039|012` Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall say to you.

24~JEREMIAH 039|013` So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes;

24~JEREMIAH 039|014` Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people.

24~JEREMIAH 039|015` Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 039|016` Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before you.

24~JEREMIAH 039|017` But I will deliver you in that day, saith the Lord: and you shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom you art afraid.

24~JEREMIAH 039|018` For I will surely deliver you, and you shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey to you: because you hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 040|001` The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive to Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 040|002` And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, The Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.

24~JEREMIAH 040|003` Now the Lord hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because you have sinned against the Lord, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.

24~JEREMIAH 040|004` And now, behold, I loose you this day from the chains which were upon yours hand. If it seem good to you to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well to you: but if it seem ill to you to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before you: whi

24~JEREMIAH 040|005` Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seems convenient to you to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.

24~JEREMIAH 040|006` Then went Jeremiah to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and lived with him among the people that were left in the land.

24~JEREMIAH 040|007` Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;

24~JEREMIAH 040|008` Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

24~JEREMIAH 040|009` And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware to them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

24~JEREMIAH 040|010` As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, which will come to us: but you, gather you wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.

24~JEREMIAH 040|011` Likewise when all the Jews [3064]that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;

24~JEREMIAH 040|012` Even all the Jews [3064]returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.

24~JEREMIAH 040|013` Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,

24~JEREMIAH 040|014` And said to him, Dost you certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay you? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.

24~JEREMIAH 040|015` Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly saying, Let me go, I pray you, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he slay you, that all the Jews [3064]which are gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant

24~JEREMIAH 040|016` But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, You shalt not do this thing: for you speaks falsely of Ishmael.

24~JEREMIAH 041|001` Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.

24~JEREMIAH 041|002` Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.

24~JEREMIAH 041|003` Ishmael also slew all the Jews [3064]that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war.

24~JEREMIAH 041|004` And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,

24~JEREMIAH 041|005` That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 041|006` And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said to them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.

24~JEREMIAH 041|007` And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him.

24~JEREMIAH 041|008` But ten men were found among them that said to Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren.

24~JEREMIAH 041|009` Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.

24~JEREMIAH 041|010` Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.

24~JEREMIAH 041|011` But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,

24~JEREMIAH 041|012` Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.

24~JEREMIAH 041|013` Now it came to pass, that when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.

24~JEREMIAH 041|014` So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.

24~JEREMIAH 041|015` But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.

24~JEREMIAH 041|016` Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:

24~JEREMIAH 041|017` And they departed, and lived in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,

24~JEREMIAH 041|018` Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.

24~JEREMIAH 042|001` Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,

24~JEREMIAH 042|002` And said to Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech you, our supplication be accepted before you, and pray for us to the Lord thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as yours eyes do behold us:)

24~JEREMIAH 042|003` That the Lord thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.

24~JEREMIAH 042|004` Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the Lord shall answer you, I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back from you.

24~JEREMIAH 042|005` Then they said to Jeremiah, The Lord be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the Lord thy God shall send you to us.

24~JEREMIAH 042|006` Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.

24~JEREMIAH 042|007` And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.

24~JEREMIAH 042|008` Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,

24~JEREMIAH 042|009` And said to them, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him;

24~JEREMIAH 042|010` If you will still stay in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done to you.

24~JEREMIAH 042|011` Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.

24~JEREMIAH 042|012` And I will shew mercies to you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.

24~JEREMIAH 042|013` But if you say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the Lord your God,

24~JEREMIAH 042|014` Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:

24~JEREMIAH 042|015` And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, you remnant of Judah; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; If you wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;

24~JEREMIAH 042|016` Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which you feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof you were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there you shall die.

24~JEREMIAH 042|017` So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.

24~JEREMIAH 042|018` For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when you shall enter into Egypt: and you shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and you shall see this place no more.

24~JEREMIAH 042|019` The Lord hath said concerning you, O you remnant of Judah; Go you not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.

24~JEREMIAH 042|020` For you dissembled in your hearts, when you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, Pray for us to the Lord our God; and according to all that the Lord our God shall say, so declare to us, and we will do it.

24~JEREMIAH 042|021` And now I have this day declared it to you; but you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me to you.

24~JEREMIAH 042|022` Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither you desire to go and to sojourn.

24~JEREMIAH 043|001` And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

24~JEREMIAH 043|002` Then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, You speaks falsely: the Lord our God hath not sent you to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:

24~JEREMIAH 043|003` But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth you on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 043|004` So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to dwell in the land of Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 043|005` But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;

24~JEREMIAH 043|006` Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.

24~JEREMIAH 043|007` So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.

24~JEREMIAH 043|008` Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 043|009` Take great stones in yours hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

24~JEREMIAH 043|010` And say to them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

24~JEREMIAH 043|011` And when he comes, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword.

24~JEREMIAH 043|012` And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from there in peace.

24~JEREMIAH 043|013` He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.

24~JEREMIAH 044|001` The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews [3064]which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 044|002` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,

24~JEREMIAH 044|003` Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, you, nor your fathers.

24~JEREMIAH 044|004` Howbeit I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.

24~JEREMIAH 044|005` But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods.

24~JEREMIAH 044|006` Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.

24~JEREMIAH 044|007` Therefore now thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit you this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;

24~JEREMIAH 044|008` In that you provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, whither you be gone to dwell, that you might cut yourselves off, and that you might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

24~JEREMIAH 044|009` Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusal

24~JEREMIAH 044|010` They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.

24~JEREMIAH 044|011` Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 044|012` And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

24~JEREMIAH 044|013` For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:

24~JEREMIAH 044|014` So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.

24~JEREMIAH 044|015` Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense to other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 044|016` As for the word that you hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to you.

24~JEREMIAH 044|017` But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

24~JEREMIAH 044|018` But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.

24~JEREMIAH 044|019` And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our men?

24~JEREMIAH 044|020` Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 044|021` The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the Lord remember them, and came it not into his mind?

24~JEREMIAH 044|022` So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.

24~JEREMIAH 044|023` Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against the Lord, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened to you, as at this day.

24~JEREMIAH 044|024` Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:

24~JEREMIAH 044|025` Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her: you will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.

24~JEREMIAH 044|026` Therefore hear you the word of the Lord, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord God liveth.

24~JEREMIAH 044|027` Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.

24~JEREMIAH 044|028` Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.

24~JEREMIAH 044|029` And this shall be a sign to you, saith the Lord, that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:

24~JEREMIAH 044|030` Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.

24~JEREMIAH 045|001` The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 045|002` Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:

24~JEREMIAH 045|003` You didst say, Woe is me now! for the Lord hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

24~JEREMIAH 045|004` Thus shalt you say to him, The Lord saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.

24~JEREMIAH 045|005` And seeks you great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life will I give to you for a prey in all places whither you goest.

24~JEREMIAH 046|001` The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;

24~JEREMIAH 046|002` Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.

24~JEREMIAH 046|003` Order you the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.

24~JEREMIAH 046|004` Harness the horses; and get up, you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.

24~JEREMIAH 046|005` Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 046|006` Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.

24~JEREMIAH 046|007` Who is this that comes up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?

24~JEREMIAH 046|008` Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.

24~JEREMIAH 046|009` Come up, you horses; and rage, you chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.

24~JEREMIAH 046|010` For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord God of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

24~JEREMIAH 046|011` Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt you use many medicines; for you shalt not be cured.

24~JEREMIAH 046|012` The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.

24~JEREMIAH 046|013` The word that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.

24~JEREMIAH 046|014` Declare you in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say you, Stand fast, and prepare you; for the sword shall devour round about you.

24~JEREMIAH 046|015` Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the Lord did drive them.

24~JEREMIAH 046|016` He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.

24~JEREMIAH 046|017` They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.

24~JEREMIAH 046|018` As I live, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.

24~JEREMIAH 046|019` O you daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.

24~JEREMIAH 046|020` Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction comes; it comes out of the north.

24~JEREMIAH 046|021` Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.

24~JEREMIAH 046|022` The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.

24~JEREMIAH 046|023` They shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.

24~JEREMIAH 046|024` The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

24~JEREMIAH 046|025` The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:

24~JEREMIAH 046|026` And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 046|027` But fear not you, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

24~JEREMIAH 046|028` Fear you not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord: for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven you: but I will not make a full end of you, but correct you in measure; yet will I not leave you wholly unpunished.

24~JEREMIAH 047|001` The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.

24~JEREMIAH 047|002` Thus saith the Lord; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.

24~JEREMIAH 047|003` At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;

24~JEREMIAH 047|004` Because of the day that comes to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the Lord will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.

24~JEREMIAH 047|005` Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt you cut thyself?

24~JEREMIAH 047|006` O you sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere you be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

24~JEREMIAH 047|007` How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.

24~JEREMIAH 048|001` Against Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe to Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.

24~JEREMIAH 048|002` There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also you shalt be cut down, O madmen; the sword shall pursue you.

24~JEREMIAH 048|003` A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.

24~JEREMIAH 048|004` Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

24~JEREMIAH 048|005` For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.

24~JEREMIAH 048|006` Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

24~JEREMIAH 048|007` For because you hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, you shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.

24~JEREMIAH 048|008` And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the Lord hath spoken.

24~JEREMIAH 048|009` Give wings to Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.

24~JEREMIAH 048|010` Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

24~JEREMIAH 048|011` Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

24~JEREMIAH 048|012` Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will send to him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.

24~JEREMIAH 048|013` And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

24~JEREMIAH 048|014` How say you, We are mighty and strong men for the war?

24~JEREMIAH 048|015` Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.

24~JEREMIAH 048|016` The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.

24~JEREMIAH 048|017` All you that are about him, bemoan him; and all you that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!

24~JEREMIAH 048|018` You daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon you, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.

24~JEREMIAH 048|019` O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?

24~JEREMIAH 048|020` Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell you it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,

24~JEREMIAH 048|021` And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,

24~JEREMIAH 048|022` And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,

24~JEREMIAH 048|023` And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,

24~JEREMIAH 048|024` And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

24~JEREMIAH 048|025` The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 048|026` Make you him drunken: for he magnified himself against the Lord: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

24~JEREMIAH 048|027` For was not Israel a derision to you? was he found among thieves? for since you spoke of him, you skips for joy.

24~JEREMIAH 048|028` O you that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.

24~JEREMIAH 048|029` We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.

24~JEREMIAH 048|030` I know his wrath, saith the Lord; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.

24~JEREMIAH 048|031` Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.

24~JEREMIAH 048|032` O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for you with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.

24~JEREMIAH 048|033` And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.

24~JEREMIAH 048|034` From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, and even to Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.

24~JEREMIAH 048|035` Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burn incense to his gods.

24~JEREMIAH 048|036` Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.

24~JEREMIAH 048|037` For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.

24~JEREMIAH 048|038` There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 048|039` They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.

24~JEREMIAH 048|040` For thus saith the Lord; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

24~JEREMIAH 048|041` Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

24~JEREMIAH 048|042` And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 048|043` Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon you, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 048|044` He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 048|045` They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

24~JEREMIAH 048|046` Woe be to you, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.

24~JEREMIAH 048|047` Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the Lord. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

24~JEREMIAH 049|001` Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the Lord; hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?

24~JEREMIAH 049|002` Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir to them that were his heirs, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 049|003` Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, you daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.

24~JEREMIAH 049|004` Wherefore gloriest you in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come to me?

24~JEREMIAH 049|005` Behold, I will bring a fear upon you, saith the Lord God of hosts, from all those that be about you; and you shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.

24~JEREMIAH 049|006` And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 049|007` Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

24~JEREMIAH 049|008` Flee you, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him.

24~JEREMIAH 049|009` If grapegatherers come to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.

24~JEREMIAH 049|010` But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.

24~JEREMIAH 049|011` Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.

24~JEREMIAH 049|012` For thus saith the Lord; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art you he that shall altogether go unpunished? you shalt not go unpunished, but you shalt surely drink of it.

24~JEREMIAH 049|013` For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.

24~JEREMIAH 049|014` I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent to the heathen, saying, Gather you together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

24~JEREMIAH 049|015` For, lo, I will make you small among the heathen, and despised among men.

24~JEREMIAH 049|016` Your terribleness hath deceived you, and the pride of yours heart, O you that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though you shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, saith the Lor

24~JEREMIAH 049|017` Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.

24~JEREMIAH 049|018` As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord, no man shall stay there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.

24~JEREMIAH 049|019` Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

24~JEREMIAH 049|020` Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.

24~JEREMIAH 049|021` The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.

24~JEREMIAH 049|022` Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

24~JEREMIAH 049|023` Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.

24~JEREMIAH 049|024` Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.

24~JEREMIAH 049|025` How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!

24~JEREMIAH 049|026` Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord of hosts.

24~JEREMIAH 049|027` And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.

24~JEREMIAH 049|028` Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the Lord; Arise you, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.

24~JEREMIAH 049|029` Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, fear is on every side.

24~JEREMIAH 049|030` Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O you inhabitants of Hazor, saith the Lord; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.

24~JEREMIAH 049|031` Arise, get you up to the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.

24~JEREMIAH 049|032` And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 049|033` And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man stay there, nor any son of man dwell in it.

24~JEREMIAH 049|034` The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

24~JEREMIAH 049|035` Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

24~JEREMIAH 049|036` And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

24~JEREMIAH 049|037` For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:

24~JEREMIAH 049|038` And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there the king and the princes, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 049|039` But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 050|001` The word that the Lord spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.

24~JEREMIAH 050|002` Declare you among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.

24~JEREMIAH 050|003` For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.

24~JEREMIAH 050|004` In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the Lord their God.

24~JEREMIAH 050|005` They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenient that shall not be forgotten.

24~JEREMIAH 050|006` My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.

24~JEREMIAH 050|007` All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.

24~JEREMIAH 050|008` Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.

24~JEREMIAH 050|009` For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

24~JEREMIAH 050|010` And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 050|011` Because you were glad, because you rejoiced, O you destroyers of mine heritage, because you are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;

24~JEREMIAH 050|012` Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

24~JEREMIAH 050|013` Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.

24~JEREMIAH 050|014` Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all you that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 050|015` Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do to her.

24~JEREMIAH 050|016` Cut off the planter from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.

24~JEREMIAH 050|017` Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.

24~JEREMIAH 050|018` Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.

24~JEREMIAH 050|019` And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.

24~JEREMIAH 050|020` In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.

24~JEREMIAH 050|021` Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the Lord, and do according to all that I have commanded you.

24~JEREMIAH 050|022` A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.

24~JEREMIAH 050|023` How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

24~JEREMIAH 050|024` I have laid a snare for you, and you art also taken, O Babylon, and you wast not aware: you art found, and also caught, because you hast striven against the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 050|025` The Lord hath opened his armory, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.

24~JEREMIAH 050|026` Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.

24~JEREMIAH 050|027` Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.

24~JEREMIAH 050|028` The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, the vengeance of his temple.

24~JEREMIAH 050|029` Call together the archers against Babylon: all you that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do to her: for she hath been proud against the Lord, against the holy one of Israel.

24~JEREMIAH 050|030` Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 050|031` Behold, I am against you, O you most proud, saith the Lord God of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit you.

24~JEREMIAH 050|032` And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.

24~JEREMIAH 050|033` Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.

24~JEREMIAH 050|034` Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 050|035` A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.

24~JEREMIAH 050|036` A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.

24~JEREMIAH 050|037` A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.

24~JEREMIAH 050|038` A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.

24~JEREMIAH 050|039` Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be lived in from generation to generation.

24~JEREMIAH 050|040` As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man stay there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.

24~JEREMIAH 050|041` Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

24~JEREMIAH 050|042` They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against you, O daughter of Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 050|043` The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.

24~JEREMIAH 050|044` Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan to the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

24~JEREMIAH 050|045` Therefore hear you the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.

24~JEREMIAH 050|046` At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.

24~JEREMIAH 051|001` Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;

24~JEREMIAH 051|002` And will send to Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.

24~JEREMIAH 051|003` Against him that bends let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare you not her young men; destroy you utterly all her host.

24~JEREMIAH 051|004` Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.

24~JEREMIAH 051|005` For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the Lord of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the holy One of Israel.

24~JEREMIAH 051|006` Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance; he will render to her a recompence.

24~JEREMIAH 051|007` Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

24~JEREMIAH 051|008` Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.

24~JEREMIAH 051|009` We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

24~JEREMIAH 051|010` The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God.

24~JEREMIAH 051|011` Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.

24~JEREMIAH 051|012` Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 051|013` O you that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, yours end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.

24~JEREMIAH 051|014` The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill you with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against you.

24~JEREMIAH 051|015` He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.

24~JEREMIAH 051|016` When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasures.

24~JEREMIAH 051|017` Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

24~JEREMIAH 051|018` They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

24~JEREMIAH 051|019` The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.

24~JEREMIAH 051|020` You art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with you will I break in pieces the nations, and with you will I destroy kingdoms;

24~JEREMIAH 051|021` And with you will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with you will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;

24~JEREMIAH 051|022` With you also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with you will I break in pieces old and young; and with you will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;

24~JEREMIAH 051|023` I will also break in pieces with you the shepherd and his flock; and with you will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with you will I break in pieces captains and rulers.

24~JEREMIAH 051|024` And I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 051|025` Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain.

24~JEREMIAH 051|026` And they shall not take of you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but you shalt be desolate for ever, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 051|027` Set you up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.

24~JEREMIAH 051|028` Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.

24~JEREMIAH 051|029` And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.

24~JEREMIAH 051|030` The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.

24~JEREMIAH 051|031` One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,

24~JEREMIAH 051|032` And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.

24~JEREMIAH 051|033` For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.

24~JEREMIAH 051|034` Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.

24~JEREMIAH 051|035` The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.

24~JEREMIAH 051|036` Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for you; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.

24~JEREMIAH 051|037` And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.

24~JEREMIAH 051|038` They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps.

24~JEREMIAH 051|039` In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 051|040` I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.

24~JEREMIAH 051|041` How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!

24~JEREMIAH 051|042` The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.

24~JEREMIAH 051|043` Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.

24~JEREMIAH 051|044` And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more to him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.

24~JEREMIAH 051|045` My people, go you out of the midst of her, and deliver you every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 051|046` And lest your heart faint, and you fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.

24~JEREMIAH 051|047` Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.

24~JEREMIAH 051|048` Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come to her from the north, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 051|049` As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.

24~JEREMIAH 051|050` Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.

24~JEREMIAH 051|051` We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house.

24~JEREMIAH 051|052` Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.

24~JEREMIAH 051|053` Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come to her, saith the Lord.

24~JEREMIAH 051|054` A sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:

24~JEREMIAH 051|055` Because the Lord hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:

24~JEREMIAH 051|056` Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the Lord God of recompences shall surely requite.

24~JEREMIAH 051|057` And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.

24~JEREMIAH 051|058` Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.

24~JEREMIAH 051|059` The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.

24~JEREMIAH 051|060` So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 051|061` And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When you come to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;

24~JEREMIAH 051|062` Then shalt you say, O Lord, you hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.

24~JEREMIAH 051|063` And it shall be, when you hast made an end of reading this book, that you shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:

24~JEREMIAH 051|064` And you shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

24~JEREMIAH 052|001` Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

24~JEREMIAH 052|002` And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

24~JEREMIAH 052|003` For through the anger of the Lord it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 052|004` And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.

24~JEREMIAH 052|005` So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

24~JEREMIAH 052|006` And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

24~JEREMIAH 052|007` Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.

24~JEREMIAH 052|008` But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

24~JEREMIAH 052|009` Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.

24~JEREMIAH 052|010` And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

24~JEREMIAH 052|011` Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

24~JEREMIAH 052|012` Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,

24~JEREMIAH 052|013` And burned the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:

24~JEREMIAH 052|014` And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

24~JEREMIAH 052|015` Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

24~JEREMIAH 052|016` But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.

24~JEREMIAH 052|017` Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

24~JEREMIAH 052|018` The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass where with they ministered, took they away.

24~JEREMIAH 052|019` And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away.

24~JEREMIAH 052|020` The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

24~JEREMIAH 052|021` And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

24~JEREMIAH 052|022` And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like to these.

24~JEREMIAH 052|023` And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.

24~JEREMIAH 052|024` And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

24~JEREMIAH 052|025` He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

24~JEREMIAH 052|026` So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

24~JEREMIAH 052|027` And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.

24~JEREMIAH 052|028` This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews [3064]and three and twenty:

24~JEREMIAH 052|029` In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:

24~JEREMIAH 052|030` In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews [3064]seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

24~JEREMIAH 052|031` And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison.

24~JEREMIAH 052|032` And spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

24~JEREMIAH 052|033` And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.

24~JEREMIAH 052|034` And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
