Book of Jeremiah Explained
Title:
This book gains its title from the human author, who begins with "the words
of Jeremiah" (1:1). Jeremiah recounts more of his own life than any other
prophet, telling of his ministry, the reactions of his audiences, testings,
and his personal feelings. His name means "Jehovah throws", in the sense of
laying down a foundation, or "Jehovah establishes, appoints, or sends".
Seven other Jeremiahs appear in Scripture (2 Kings 23:31, 1 Chron. 5:24;
12:4; 12:10; 12:13; Neh. 10:2, 12:1), and Jeremiah the prophet is named at
least 9 times outside of his book (compare 2 Chron. 35:25; 36:12; 36:21-22;
Ezra 1:1; Dan. 9:2; Matt. 2:17; 16:14; 27:9). The Old and New Testaments
quote Jeremiah at least 7 times.
Jeremiah is rightly considered among the major prophets. His book is longer
than Isaiah and is also longer than either Ezekiel or the 12 Minor Prophets
combined. Its important subject matter includes timely messages to God's
people in the closing days of Judah, and prophecies concerning the Messiah
and the new covenant. The book customarily appears between Isaiah and
Ezekiel in the Old Testament Canon.
Jeremiah's text has come down in differing forms. In the Greek Old
Testament (the Septuagint), it is shorter and shows a different arrangement
of the material (in chapters 46 to 51). Both the Hebrew and Greek texts of
the book have been found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. No compelling reason
exists, however, for abandoning the traditional form of the original Hebrew
text reflected in our English translations.
Authorship:
Jeremiah doubtless was the chief author of the book that bears his name
(see title above).
The Book's final edition was probably brought together shortly after his
death by his scribe, Baruch. Jeremiah was the son of Hilkiah, a priest in
the line of Abiathar, who lived at Anathoth. Because he was raised in a
Levitical tribe, Jeremiah learned a high regard for the law of the Lord and
the importance of the temple and priesthood.
Jeremiah, who served as both a priest and a prophet, was the son of a
priest named Hilkiah (not the High-Priest of 2 Kings 22:8 who discovered
the book of the law). He was from the small village of Anathoth (1:1),
today called Anata, about 3 miles northeast of Jerusalem in Benjamin's
tribal inheritance. As an object lesson to Judah, Jeremiah remained
unmarried (16:1-4). He was assisted in ministry by a scribe named Baruch,
to whom Jeremiah dictated and who copied and had custody over the writings
complied from the prophet's messages (36:4, 32; 45:1). Jeremiah has been
known as "the weeping prophet" (compare 9:1, 13:17; 14:17), living a life
of conflict because of his predictions of judgment by the invading
Babylonians. He was threatened, tried for his life, put in stocks, forced
to flee from Jehoiakim, publicly humiliated by a false prophet and thrown
into a pit.
Jeremiah carried out a ministry directed mostly to his own people in Judah,
but which expanded to other nations at times. He appealed to his countrymen
to repent and avoid God's judgment via an invader (chapters 7 and 26). Once
invasion was certain after Judah refused to repent, he pled with them not
to resist the Babylonian conqueror in order to prevent total destruction
(chapter 27). He also called on delegates of other nations to heed his
counsel and submit to Babylon (chapter 27), and he predicted judgments from
God on various nations (25:12-38; Chapters 46 to 51).
The dates of his ministry, which spanned 5 decades, are from the Judean
king Josiah's 13th year, noted in 1:2 (627 B.C.), to beyond the
fall of Jerusalem to Babylon in 586 B.C. (Jer. chapters 39, 40 and 52).
After 586 B.C., Jeremiah was forced to go with a fleeing remnant of Judah
to Egypt (Jer. chapters 43 and 44). He was possibly still ministering (in
570 B.C.). A rabbinic note claims that when Babylon invaded Egypt in
568/567 B.C., Jeremiah was taken captive to Babylon. He could have lived
even to pen the book's closing scene ca. 561 B.C. in Babylon, when Judah's
king Jehoiachin, captive in Babylon since 597 B.C., was allowed liberties
in his last days (52:31-34). Jeremiah, if still alive at that time, was
between 85 and 90 years old.
Jeremiah prophesied during the reigns of Judah's last kings. His prophetic
ministry stretched from the days of Josiah (640 - 609 B.C.), until
Jerusalem's fall in the reign of Zedekiah (598 - 586 B.C.). Following his
divine call (in 627 B.C.), Jeremiah served the Lord and the people of Judah
throughout the rapidly changing scenes of the final decades of the southern
kingdom and even beyond.
This prophet was a deeply spiritual man. He was wholly dedicated to God so
that despite a shy and retiring nature, his fervent love for God and His
people never waned. Jeremiah became an object lesson of a man whose
commitment to God enabled him, by God's grace, to overcome his natural
timidity and live courageously in the face of severe opposition and tragic
circumstances. His personal sorrow over the messages that he had to deliver
often caused him to weep for his people in a manner unparalleled until the
Man of Sorrows would come.
Historical Setting:
The time frame of the Book of Jeremiah stretches from the prophet's call in
627 B.C. until his later life among the Judean refugees in Egypt some years
after the fall of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. These were trying times for Judah.
The nation was caught up in the rapidly changing political events in the
Near East during the late seventh and early sixth centuries B.C. Although
revival and religious reform followed the finding of the Book of the Law
during the repair of the temple in 622 B.C. (compare 2 kings 22:8 - 23:24;
2 Chronicles 34:8 - 35:19), the effects of Josiah's religious edicts were
short lived.
With the death of the godly Josiah, Judah's apostasy quickly resurfaced.
Jeremiah repeatedly warned of resulting judgment, which finally occurred
through the events of the shifting Near Eastern political scene.
Nabopolassar of Babylon defeated the Assyrians at Nineveh (in 612 B.C.).
When Pharaoh-nechoh (609 - 594 B.C.), of Egypt moved to their aid, Josiah
withstood Egypt at Megiddo at the cost of his life. Later, the retreating
Egyptians took his son Jehoahaz captive (2 Kings 23:31-33), and installed
Josiah's second son, Jehoiakim (609 - 598 B.C.), on the throne. He was an
apostate who persecuted Jeremiah and other true believers.
He was later succeeded by his brother Jehoiachin, who was captured by
Nebuchadnezzar at the same time Ezekiel was taken captive. Zedekiah,
Josiah's third son, was then installed as king (2 Kings 24:17). He too was
an ungodly king who persecuted Jeremiah and rejected his prophecies.
Finally in 586 B.C., Nebuchadrezzar totally destroyed Jerusalem, and
Zedekiah was blinded and led away in chains to Babylon.
Although Jeremiah's message was one of inevitable judgment on Judah, he
also delivered news of great consolation. God would yet deal anew with a
repentant people (23:1-8 - 29:10-19), in a great new covenant (30:1 -
33:26), through which the promised blessings of old would be realized.
Jeremiah's prophecies thus span the era that was passing away and that
which was to come. The returning exiles would constitute a pledge of that
great final gathering of God's people to Himself for the Messiah's
everlasting reign.
Background and Setting:
While some people are called into God's service as children (1 Sam chapter
3), Jeremiah was commissioned as a "prophet to the nations" even before he
was conceived (1:5).
Jeremiah's 40 year ministry was centered in Judah, the region of the tribes
of Benjamin and Judah, surrounding Jerusalem. He prophesied during the
reigns of the final five kings of Judah, up until the time the Babylonians
destroyed the city (chapter 52). He began prophesying during the
"thirteenth year of King Josiah's reign" (1:2), Josiah being the last
righteous monarch of Judah. The four kings following Josiah was, Jehoahaz,
Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah ignored the brief revival of Josiah's
days (2 Kings Chapter 23), and continued leading Judah toward judgment.
We know more about Jeremiah's personal life than we do about any other
prophet. As with Moses before him (Exodus 3:11; 4:10), Jeremiah was timid
as a young man and reluctant to accept the call to be God's spokesman. God,
however, reached out and touched the young man's mouth, symbolically
imparting to him the words he would need to speak (1:9). And God had much
to say through His prophet. Jeremiah's book contains more words than any
other book of the Bible.
From the beginning, God left no doubt; Jeremiah would face stiff
opposition: "They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail
against you" (1:19). King Jehoiakim cut up and burned the first scroll
containing Jeremiah's words (chapter 36). Jeremiah was beaten and
imprisoned (37:15), and at one point thrown into a muddy cistern, sinking
into the filthy mire (38:6). The last we hear of him, he was forcibly taken
to Egypt, where he apparently died (43:6-7). In his perseverance and
faithfulness, Jeremiah was an example for all who would follow God's call
in the face of opposition.
The Book of Jeremiah combines prose, poetry, historical narrative, sermons,
oracles of judgment, and other literary forms, apparently in a
non-chronological collection rather than a running narrative. While
primarily addressing Judah, Jeremiah's prophecies also contain messages of
judgment to nine neighbor-nations. More than 100 times, he calls for
repentance. Besides being persistent, Jeremiah was consistent. In spite of
his own occasional laments and complaints, he never varied from his
calling.
Background details of Jeremiah's times are portrayed (in 2 Kings chapters
22 to 25 and 2 Chronicles Chapters 34 to 36). Jeremiah's messages paint
pictures of;
(1) His people's sin;
(2) The invader God would send;
(3) The rigors of siege; and
(4) Calamities of destruction.
Jeremiah's message of impending judgment for idolatry and other sins was
preached over a period of 40 years (ca. 627 - 586 B.C. and beyond). His
prophecy took place during the reigns of Judah's final 5 kings (Josiah 640
- 609 B.C., Jehoahaz 609 B.C., Jehoiakim 609 - 598 B.C., Jehoiachin 598 -
597 B.C., and Zedekiah 597 - 586 B.C.).
The spiritual condition of Judah was one of flagrant idol worship (compare
chapter 2). King Ahaz, preceding his son Hezekiah long before Jeremiah in
Isaiah's day, he had set up a system of sacrificing children to the god
Molech in the Valley of Hinnom just outside Jerusalem (735 - 715 B.C.).
Hezekiah led in reforms and clean-up (Isa. 36:7), but his son Manasseh
continued to foster child sacrifice along with gross idolatry, which
continued into Jeremiah's time (7:31; 19:5; 32:35). Many also worshiped the
"queen of heaven" (7:18; 44:19). Josiah's reforms, reaching their apex (in
622 B.C.), forced a repressing of the worst practices outwardly, but the
deadly cancer of sin was deep and flourished quickly again after a shallow
revival. Religious insincerity, dishonesty, adultery, injustice, tyranny
against the helpless, and slander prevailed as the norm not the exception.
Politically momentous events occurred in Jeremiah's day. Assyria saw its
power wane gradually; then Ashurbanipal died in 626 B.C. Assyria grew so
feeble that in 612 B.C. her seemingly invincible capital, Nineveh, was
destroyed (compare the book of Nahum). The Neo-Babylonian empire under
Nabopolassar (625 - 605 B.C.), became dominant militarily with victories
against Assyria (612 B.C.), Egypt (609 - 605 B.C.), and Israel in three
phrases (605 B.C.), as in Dan. Chapter 1; (597 B.C.), as in 2 kings
24:10-16; and (586 B.C.), as in Jer. chapters 39, 40 and 52.
While Joel and Micah had earlier prophesied of Judah's judgment, during
Josiah's reign, God's leading prophets were Jeremiah, Habakkuk, and
Zephaniah. Later, Jeremiah's contemporaries, Ezekiel and Daniel, played
prominent prophetic roles.
Historical and Theological Themes:
The main theme of Jeremiah is judgment upon Judah (chapters 1 to 29), with
restoration in the future messianic kingdom (23:3-8; and chapters 30 to
33). Whereas Isaiah devoted many chapters to a future glory for Israel
(Isa. Chapters 40 to 66), Jeremiah gave far less space to this subject.
Since God's judgment was imminent he concentrated on current problems as he
sought to turn the nation back from the point of no return.
A secondary theme is God's willingness to spare and bless the nation only
if the people repent. Though this is a frequent emphasis, it is most
graphically portrayed at the potter's shop (18:1-11). A further focus is
God's plan for Jeremiah's life, both in his proclamation of God's message
and in his commitment to fulfill all of His will (1:5-19; 15:19-21). Other
themes include:
(1) God's longing for Israel to be tender toward Him, as in the days of
first love (2:1-3);
(2) Jeremiah's servant tears, as "the weeping prophet" (9:1; 14:17);
(3) The close, intimate relationship God had with Israel and that He
yearned to keep (13:11);
(4) Suffering, as in Jeremiah's trials (11:18-23; 20:1-18) and God's
sufficiency in all trouble (20:11-13);
(5) The vital role that God's Word can play in life (15:16);
(6) The place of faith in expecting restoration from the God for whom
nothing is too difficult (chapter 32, especially verses 17 and 27);
(7) Prayer for the coordination of God's will with God's action in
restoring Israel to its land (33:3, 6-18).
What it means for you: "Call to me".
The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was in prison, at a time
when the Babylonian army surrounded Jerusalem. "Call to Me," the lord said
to him, "and I will answer you, and show your great and mighty things,
which you do not know" (33:3).
How strange those words must have seemed to Jeremiah. Almighty God was
inviting him into a conversation and offering to reveal marvelous secrets,
in a time and place like that? Yes, and Jeremiah had only to call out to
the Lord.
On days when we feel under pressure or locked up by anxiety and worry, the
Lord invites us to simple call to Him. He comes to us where we are,
offering to enter into conversation with us and reveal truths about our
lives, our circumstances and Himself. No matter how confined or restricted
our situation might make us feel, we are united to a God who knows no
boundaries, no restrictions, and no limitations. He loves us dearly and
desires our best.

Jeremiah Chapter 3
Jeremiah 3:1 "They say, If a man put away
his wife, and she go from him, and become
another man's, shall he return unto her
again? shall not that land be greatly
polluted? But thou hast played the harlot
with many lovers; yet return again to me,
saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 3:2 "Lift up thine eyes unto the
high places, and see where thou hast not
been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat
for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness;

guide of my youth?"
Jeremiah 3:5 "Will he reserve [his anger]
for ever? will he keep [it] to the end?
Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil
things as thou couldest."

the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou 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."
Jeremiah 3:7 "And I said after she had done
all these [things], Turn thou unto me. But
she returned not. And her treacherous
sister Judah saw [it]."
Jeremiah 3:8 "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
played the harlot also."
Jeremiah 3:9 "And it came to pass through
the lightness of her whoredom, that she
defiled the land, and committed adultery
with stones and with stocks."
Jeremiah 3:10 "And yet for all this her
treacherous sister Judah hath not turned
unto me with her whole heart, but
feignedly, saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 3:11 "And the LORD said unto me,
The backsliding Israel hath justified
herself more than treacherous Judah."
Jeremiah 3:13 "Only acknowledge thine
iniquity, that thou hast transgressed
against the LORD thy God, and hast
scattered thy ways to the strangers under
every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my
voice, saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 3:14 "Turn, O backsliding
children, saith the LORD; for I am married
unto you: and I will take you one of a
city, and two of a family, and I will bring
you to Zion:"
Jeremiah 3:15 "And I will give you pastors
according to mine heart, which shall feed
you with knowledge and understanding."
Jeremiah 3:16 "And it shall come to pass,
when ye be multiplied and increased in the
land, in those days, saith the LORD, they
shall say no more, The ark of the covenant
of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind:
neither shall they remember it; neither
shall they visit [it]; neither shall [that]
be done any more."
Jeremiah 3:17 "At that time they shall call
Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all
the nations shall be gathered unto it, to
the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither
shall they walk any more after the
imagination of their evil heart."
Jeremiah 3:18 "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 unto your
fathers."
Jeremiah 3:19 "But I said, How shall I put
thee among the children, and give thee a
pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the
hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt
call me, My father; and shalt not turn away
from me."
Jeremiah 3:20 "Surely [as] a wife
treacherously departeth from her husband,
so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O
house of Israel, saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 3:21 "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."
Jeremiah 3:22 "Return, ye backsliding
children, [and] I will heal your
backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee;
for thou [art] the LORD our God."
Jeremiah 3:23 "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."
Jeremiah 3:24 "For shame hath devoured the
labor of our fathers from our youth; their
flocks and their herds, their sons and
their daughters."
Jeremiah 3:25 "We lie down in our shame,
and our confusion covereth us: for we have
sinned against the LORD our God, we and our
fathers, from our youth even unto this day,
and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD
our God."
Jeremiah 4
Jeremiah Chapter 4
Jeremiah 4:1 "If thou wilt return, O
Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and
if thou wilt put away thine abominations
out of my sight, then shalt thou not
remove."
Jeremiah 4:2 "And thou 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."
Jeremiah 4:3 "For thus saith the LORD to
the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up
your fallow ground, and sow not among
thorns."
Jeremiah 4:4 "Circumcise yourselves to the
LORD, and take away the foreskins of your
heart, ye 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."
Jeremiah 4:5 "Declare ye in Judah, and
publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the
trumpet in the land: cry, gather together,
and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go
into the defensed cities."
Jeremiah 4:6 "Set up the standard toward
Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring
evil from the north, and a great
destruction."
Jeremiah 4:7 "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."
Jeremiah 4:8 "For this gird you with
sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce
anger of the LORD is not turned back from
us."
Jeremiah 4:9 "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."
Jeremiah 4:10 "Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD!
surely thou hast greatly deceived this
people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have
peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the
soul."
Jeremiah 4:11 "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 of my people, not to
fan, nor to cleanse,"
Jeremiah 4:12 "[Even] a full wind from
those [places] shall come unto me: now also
will I give sentence against them."
Jeremiah 4:13 "Behold, he shall come up as
clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as a
whirlwind: his horses are swifter than
eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled."
Jeremiah 4:14 "O Jerusalem, wash thine
heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be
saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts
lodge within thee?"
Jeremiah 4:15 "For a voice declareth from
Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount
Ephraim."
Jeremiah 4:16 "Make ye 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."
Jeremiah 4:17 "As keepers of a field, are
they against her round about; because she
hath been rebellious against me, saith the
LORD."
Jeremiah 4:18 "Thy way and thy doings have
procured these [things] unto thee; this
[is] thy wickedness, because it is bitter,
because it reacheth unto thine heart."
Jeremiah 4:19 "My bowels, my bowels! I am
pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a
noise in me; I cannot hold my peace,
because thou hast heard, O my soul, the
sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war."
Jeremiah 4:20 "Destruction upon destruction
is cried; for the whole land is spoiled:
suddenly are my tents spoiled, [and] my
curtains in a moment."
Jeremiah 4:21 "How long shall I see the
standard, [and] hear the sound of the
trumpet?"
Jeremiah 4:22 "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."
Jeremiah 4:23 "I beheld the earth, and, lo,
[it was] without form, and void; and the
heavens, and they [had] no light."
Jeremiah 4:24 "I beheld the mountains, and,
lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved
lightly."
Jeremiah 4:25 "I beheld, and, lo, [there
was] no man, and all the birds of the
heavens were fled."
Jeremiah 4:26 "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."
Jeremiah 4:27 "For thus hath the LORD said,
The whole land shall be desolate; yet will
I not make a full end."
Jeremiah 4:28 "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."
Jeremiah 4:29 "The whole city shall flee
for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen;
they shall go into thickets, and climb up
upon the rocks: every city [shall be]
forsaken, and not a man dwell therein."
Jeremiah 4:30 "And [when] thou [art]
spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou
clothest thyself with crimson, though thou
deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though
thou rentest thy face with painting, in
vain shalt thou make thyself fair; [thy]
lovers will despise thee, they will seek
thy life."
Jeremiah 4:31 "For I have heard a voice as
of a woman in travail, [and] the anguish as
of her that bringeth forth her first child,
the voice of the daughter of Zion, [that]
bewaileth herself, [that] spreadeth her
hands, [saying], Woe [is] me now! for my
soul is wearied because of murderers."
Jeremiah 5
Jeremiah Chapter 5
Jeremiah 5:1 "Run ye to and fro through the
streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and
know, and seek in the broad places thereof,
if ye can find a man, if there be [any]
that executeth judgment, that seeketh the
truth; and I will pardon it."
Jeremiah 5:2 "And though they say, The LORD
liveth; surely they swear falsely."
Jeremiah 5:3 "O LORD, [are] not thine eyes
upon the truth? Thou hast stricken them,
but they have not grieved; thou hast
consumed them, [but] they have refused to
receive correction: they have made their
faces harder than a rock; they have refused
to return."
Jeremiah 5:4 "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."
Jeremiah 5:5 "I will get me unto the great
men, and will speak unto 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."
Jeremiah 5:6 "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 thence shall be torn in pieces:
because their transgressions are many,
[and] their backslidings are increased."
Jeremiah 5:7 "How shall I pardon thee 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."
Jeremiah 5:8 They were [as] fed horses in
the morning: every one neighed after his
neighbor's wife.
Jeremiah 5:9 "Shall I not visit for these
[things]? saith the LORD: and shall not my
soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
Jeremiah 5:11 "For the house of Israel and
the house of Judah have dealt very
treacherously against me, saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 5:12 "They have belied the LORD,
and said, [It is] not he; neither shall
evil come upon us; neither shall we see
sword nor famine:"
Jeremiah 5:13 "And the prophets shall
become wind, and the word [is] not in them:
thus shall it be done unto them."
Jeremiah 5:14 "Wherefore thus saith the
LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this
word, behold, I will make my words in thy
mouth fire, and this people wood, and it
shall devour them."
Jeremiah 5:15 "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 nation whose language
thou knowest not, neither understandest
what they say."
Jeremiah 5:16 Their quiver [is] as an open
sepulcher, they [are] all mighty men.
Jeremiah 5:17 "And they shall eat up thine
harvest, and thy bread, [which] thy sons
and thy daughters should eat: they shall
eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they
shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees:
they shall impoverish thy fenced cities,
wherein thou trustedst, with the sword."
Jeremiah 5:18 "Nevertheless in those days,
saith the LORD, I will not make a full end
with you."
Jeremiah 5:19 "And it shall come to pass,
when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD
our God all these [things] unto us? Then
shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have
forsaken me, and served strange gods in
your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a
land [that is] not yours."
Jeremiah 5:20 "Declare this in the house of
Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,"
Jeremiah 5:21 "Hear now this, O foolish
people, and without understanding; which
have eyes, and see not; which have ears,
and hear not:"
Jeremiah 5:22 "Fear ye not me? saith the
LORD: will ye 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 can they not
pass over it?"
Jeremiah 5:23 "But this people hath a
revolting and a rebellious heart; they are
revolted and gone."
Jeremiah 5:24 "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 unto us
the appointed weeks of the harvest."
Jeremiah 5:25 "Your iniquities have turned
away these [things], and your sins have
withholden good [things] from you."
Jeremiah 5:26 "For among my people are
found wicked [men]: they lay wait, as he
that setteth snares; they set a trap, they
catch men."
Jeremiah 5:27 "As a cage is full of birds,
so [are] their houses full of deceit:
therefore they are become great, and waxen
rich."
Jeremiah 5:28 "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."
Jeremiah 5:29 "Shall I not visit for these
[things]? saith the LORD: shall not my soul
be avenged on such a nation as this?"
Jeremiah 5:30 "A wonderful and horrible
thing is committed in the land;"
Jeremiah 5:31 "The prophets prophesy
falsely, and the priests bear rule by their
means; and my people love [to have it] so:
and what will ye do in the end thereof?"
Jeremiah 6
Jeremiah Chapter 6
Jeremiah 6:1 "O ye 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
Beth-haccerem: for evil appeareth out of
the north, and great destruction."
Jeremiah 6:2 "I have likened the daughter
of Zion to a comely and delicate [woman]."
Jeremiah 6:3 "The shepherds with their
flocks shall come unto her; they shall
pitch [their] tents against her round
about; they shall feed every one in his
place."
Jeremiah 6:4 "Prepare ye war against her;
arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto
us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows
of the evening are stretched out."
Jeremiah 6:5 "Arise, and let us go by
night, and let us destroy her palaces."
Jeremiah 6:6 "For thus hath the LORD of
hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a
mount against Jerusalem: this [is] the city
to be visited; she [is] wholly oppression
in the midst of her."
Jeremiah 6:7 "As a fountain casteth out her
waters, so she casteth out her wickedness:
violence and spoil is heard in her; before
me continually [is] grief and wounds."
Jeremiah 6:8 "Be thou instructed, O
Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee;
lest I make thee desolate, a land not
inhabited."
Jeremiah 6:9 "Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of
Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a
grape gatherer into the baskets."
Jeremiah 6:10 "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 unto them a reproach; they have no
delight in it."
Jeremiah 6:11 "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."
Jeremiah 6:12 "And their houses shall be
turned unto others, [with their] fields and
wives together: for I will stretch out my
hand upon the inhabitants of the land,
saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 6:13 "For from the least of them
even unto the greatest of them every one
[is] given to covetousness; and from the
prophet even unto the priest every one
dealeth falsely."
Jeremiah 6:14 "They have healed also the
hurt [of the daughter] of my people
slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there
is] no peace."
Jeremiah 6:15 "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."
Jeremiah 6:16 "Thus saith the LORD, Stand
ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the
old paths, where [is] the good way, and
walk therein, and ye shall find rest for
your souls. But they said, We will not walk
[therein]."
Jeremiah 6:17 "Also I set watchmen over
you, [saying], Hearken to the sound of the
trumpet. But they said, We will not
hearken."
Jeremiah 6:18 "Therefore hear, ye nations,
and know, O congregation, what [is] among
them."
Jeremiah 6:19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will
bring evil upon this people, [even] the
fruit of their thoughts, because they have
not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law,
but rejected it.
Jeremiah 6:20 "To what purpose cometh there
to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet
cane from a far country? your burnt
offerings [are] not acceptable, nor your
sacrifices sweet unto me."
Jeremiah 6:21 "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
neighbor and his friend shall perish."
Jeremiah 6:22 "Thus saith the LORD, Behold,
a people cometh from the north country, and
a great nation shall be raised from the
sides of the earth."
Jeremiah 6:23 "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 thee, O daughter of
Zion."
Jeremiah 6:24 "We have heard the fame
thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath
taken hold of us, [and] pain, as of a woman
in travail."
Jeremiah 6:26 "O daughter of my people,
gird [thee] with sackcloth, and wallow
thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, [as
for] an only son, most bitter lamentation:
for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon
us."
Jeremiah 6:27 "I have set thee [for] a
tower [and] a fortress among my people,
that thou mayest know and try their way."
Jeremiah 6:28 "They [are] all grievous
revolters, walking with slanders: [they
are] brass and iron; they [are] all
corrupters."
Jeremiah 6:29 "The bellows are burned, the
lead is consumed of the fire; the founder
melteth in vain: for the wicked are not
plucked away."
Jeremiah 6:30 "Reprobate silver shall [men]
call them, because the LORD hath rejected
them."
Jeremiah 7
Jeremiah Chapter 7
Jeremiah 7:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jeremiah 7:2 Stand in the gate of the LORD’S house, and proclaim there
this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah, that enter in
at these gates to worship the LORD.
Jeremiah 7:3 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.
Jeremiah 7:4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the
LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, these.
Jeremiah 7:5 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if
ye thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor;
Jeremiah 7:6 ye 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:
Jeremiah 7:7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land
that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
Jeremiah 7:8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
Jeremiah 7:9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear
falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye
know not;
Jeremiah 7:10 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?
Jeremiah 7:11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den
of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen , saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 7:12 But go ye now unto my place which in Shiloh, where I set
my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my
people Israel.
Jeremiah 7:13 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the
LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard
not; and I called you, but ye answered not;
Jeremiah 7:14 Therefore will I do unto house, which is called by my
name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to
your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
Jeremiah 7:15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out
all your brethren, the whole seed of Ephraim.
Jeremiah 7:16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up
cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will
not hear thee.
Jeremiah 7:17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and
in the streets of Jerusalem?
Jeremiah 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the
fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven,
and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke
me to anger.
Jeremiah 7:19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: not
themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
Jeremiah 7:20 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.
Jeremiah 7:21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of
Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
Jeremiah 7:22 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor
commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt,
concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
Jeremiah 7:23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey
my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in
all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
Jeremiah 7:24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their
ear, but walked in the counsels in the imagination of their evil heart, and
went backward, and not forward.
Jeremiah 7:25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out
of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants
the prophets, daily rising up early and sending :
Jeremiah 7:26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined
their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
Jeremiah 7:27 Therefore thou shalt speak all these words
unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto
them; but they will not answer thee.
Jeremiah 7:28 But thou shalt say unto them, This 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.
Jeremiah 7:29 Cut off thine hair, , and cast away, and take
up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the
generation of his wrath.
Jeremiah 7:30 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.
Jeremiah 7:31 And they have built the high places of Tophet,
which in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their
daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into my heart.
Jeremiah 7:32 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.
Jeremiah 7:33 And the carcases of this people shall be meat
for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall
fray away.
Jeremiah 7:34 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.
Jeremiah 8
Jeremiah Chapter 8
Jeremiah 8:1 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:
Jeremiah 8:2 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, and
whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they
shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
Jeremiah 8:3 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.
Jeremiah 8:4 Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith
the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not
return?
Jeremiah 8:5 Why is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by
a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Jeremiah 8:6 I hearkened and heard, they spake 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.
Jeremiah 8:7 Yea, 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.
Jeremiah 8:8 How do ye say, We wise, and the law of the LORD
with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he ; the pen of the scribes in vain.
Jeremiah 8:9 The wise are ashamed, they are dismayed and
taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom in them?
Jeremiah 8:10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others,
their fields to them that shall inherit : for every one from the least even
unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the
priest every one dealeth falsely.
Jeremiah 8:11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter
of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when no peace.
Jeremiah 8:12 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.
Jeremiah 8:13 I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: no
grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and I
have given them shall pass away from them.
Jeremiah 8:14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and
let us enter into the defensed 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.
Jeremiah 8:15 We looked for peace, but no good for a time of
health, and behold trouble!
Jeremiah 8:16 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.
Jeremiah 8:17 For, behold, I will send serpents,
cockatrices, among you, which not charmed, and they shall bite you, saith
the LORD.
Jeremiah 8:18 I would comfort myself against sorrow,
my heart faint in me.
Jeremiah 8:19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of
my people because of them that dwell in a far country: not the LORD in Zion?
not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven
images, with strange vanities?
Jeremiah 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and
we are not saved.
Jeremiah 8:21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I
hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
Jeremiah 8:22 no balm in Gilead; no physician there?
why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Jeremiah 9
Jeremiah Chapter 9
Jeremiah 9:1 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!
Jeremiah 9:2 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
all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
Jeremiah 9:3 And they bend their tongues their bow 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.
Jeremiah 9:4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and
trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and
every neighbor will walk with slanders.
Jeremiah 9:5 And they will deceive every one his neighbor,
and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies,
weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Jeremiah 9:6 Thine habitation in the midst of deceit;
through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 9:7 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?
Jeremiah 9:8 Their tongue an arrow shot out; it speaketh
deceit: speaketh peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in heart he
layeth his wait.
Jeremiah 9:9 Shall I not visit them for these ? Saith the
LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah 9:10 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 ; neither can hear the
voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled;
they are gone.
Jeremiah 9:11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, a den of
dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an
inhabitant.
Jeremiah 9:12 Who the wise man, that may understand this?
and to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for
what the land perisheth is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth
through?
Jeremiah 9:13 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken
my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked
therein;
Jeremiah 9:14 But have walked after the imagination of their
own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
Jeremiah 9:15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the
God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood, and
give them water of gall to drink.
Jeremiah 9:16 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.
Jeremiah 9:17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and
call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning , that
they may come:
Jeremiah 9:18 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.
Jeremiah 9:19 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 out.
Jeremiah 9:20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and
let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters
wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
Jeremiah 9:21 For death is come up into our windows, is
entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, the young
men from the streets.
Jeremiah 9:22 Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases
of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the
harvestman, and none shall gather .
Jeremiah 9:23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise glory in
his wisdom, neither let the mighty glory in his might, let not the rich
glory in his riches:
Jeremiah 9:24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that
he understandeth and knoweth me, that I the LORD which exercise
lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these I
delight, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 9:25 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I
will punish all circumcised with the uncircumcised;
Jeremiah 9:26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children
of Ammon, and Moab, and all in the utmost corners, that dwell in the
wilderness: for all nations uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel
uncircumcised in the heart.
Jeremiah 10
Jeremiah Chapter 10
Jeremiah 10:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto
you, O house of Israel:
Jeremiah 10:2 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.
Jeremiah 10:3 For the customs of the people vain: for
cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with
the axe.
Jeremiah 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they
fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jeremiah 10:5 They 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 in them to do good.
Jeremiah 10:6 Forasmuch as none like unto thee, O LORD; thou
great, and thy name great in might.
Jeremiah 10:7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations?
for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise of the
nations, and in all their kingdoms, none like unto thee.
Jeremiah 10:8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish:
the stock a doctrine of vanities.
Jeremiah 10:9 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 their clothing: they all the work of cunning .
Jeremiah 10:10 But the LORD the true God, he the living God,
and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the
nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
Jeremiah 10:11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that
have not made the heavens and the earth, they shall perish from the earth,
and from under these heavens.
Jeremiah 10:12 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.
Jeremiah 10:13 When he uttereth his voice, a multitude of
waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of
the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out
of his treasures.
Jeremiah 10:14 Every man is brutish in knowledge: every
founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image falsehood,
and no breath in them.
Jeremiah 10:15 They vanity, the work of errors: in the time
of their visitation they shall perish.
Jeremiah 10:16 The portion of Jacob not like them: for he
the former of all ; and Israel the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts
his name.
Jeremiah 10:17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O
inhabitant of the fortress.
Jeremiah 10:18 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 .
Jeremiah 10:19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous:
but I said, Truly this a grief, and I must bear it.
Jeremiah 10:20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords
are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they not: none to stretch
forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Jeremiah 10:21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have
not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks
shall be scattered.
Jeremiah 10:22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a
great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah
desolate, a den of dragons.
Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man not in
himself: not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
Jeremiah 10:24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in
thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
Jeremiah 10:25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know
thee 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.
Jeremiah 11
Jeremiah Chapter 11
Jeremiah 11:1 "The word that came to
Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,"
Jeremiah 11:2 "Hear ye the words of this
covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah,
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;"
Jeremiah 11:3 "And say thou unto them, Thus
saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed [be]
the man that obeyeth not the words of this
covenant,"
Jeremiah 11:4 "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 ye be my people, and I will be
your God:"
Jeremiah 11:5 "That I may perform the oath
which I have sworn unto 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."
Jeremiah 11:6 "Then the LORD said unto me,
Proclaim all these words in the cities of
Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem,
saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant,
and do them."
Jeremiah 11:7 "For I earnestly protested
unto your fathers in the day [that] I
brought them up out of the land of Egypt,
[even] unto this day, rising early and
protesting, saying, Obey my voice."
Jeremiah 11:8 "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 covenant, which I commanded
[them] to do; but they did [them] not."
Jeremiah 11:9 "And the LORD said unto me, A
conspiracy is found among the men of Judah,
and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
Jeremiah 11:10 "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 covenant which I made with their
fathers."
Jeremiah 11:11 "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 unto me, I will not
hearken unto them."
Jeremiah 11:12 "Then shall the cities of
Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and
cry unto the gods unto whom they offer
incense: but they shall not save them at
all in the time of their trouble."
Jeremiah 11:13 "For [according to] the
number of thy cities were thy gods, O
Judah; and [according to] the number of the
streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars
to [that] shameful thing, [even] altars to
burn incense unto Baal."
Jeremiah 11:14 "Therefore pray not thou for
this people, neither lift up a cry or
prayer for them: for I will not hear [them]
in the time that they cry unto me for their
trouble."
Jeremiah 11:15 "What hath my beloved to do
in mine house, [seeing] she hath wrought
lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is
passed from thee? when thou doest evil,
then thou rejoicest."
Jeremiah 11:16 "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."
Jeremiah 11:17 "For the LORD of hosts, that
planted thee, hath pronounced evil against
thee, 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 unto Baal."
Jeremiah 11:18 "And the LORD hath given me
knowledge [of it], and I know [it]: then
thou showedst me their doings."
Jeremiah 11:19 "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."
Jeremiah 11:20 "But, O LORD of hosts, that
judgest righteously, that triest the reins
and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on
them: for unto thee have I revealed my
cause."
Jeremiah 11:21 "Therefore thus saith the
LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy
life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of
the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:"
Jeremiah 11:22 "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:"
Jeremiah 11:23 "And there shall be no
remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon
the men of Anathoth, [even] the year of
their visitation."
Jeremiah 12
Jeremiah Chapter 12
Jeremiah 12:1 "Righteous [art] thou, O
LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me
talk with thee of [thy] judgments:
Wherefore doth the way of the wicked
prosper? [wherefore] are all they happy
that deal very treacherously?"
Jeremiah 12:2 "Thou hast planted them, yea,
they have taken root: they grow, yea, they
bring forth fruit: thou [art] near in their
mouth, and far from their reins."
Jeremiah 12:3 "But thou, O LORD, knowest
me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart
toward thee: pull them out like sheep for
the slaughter, and prepare them for the day
of slaughter."
Jeremiah 12:4 "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."
Jeremiah 12:5 "If thou hast run with the
footmen, and they have wearied thee, then
how canst thou contend with horses? and
[if] in the land of peace, [wherein] thou
trustedst, [they wearied thee], then how
wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?"
Jeremiah 12:6 "For even thy brethren, and
the house of thy father, even they have
dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they
have called a multitude after thee: believe
them not, though they speak fair words unto
thee."
Jeremiah 12:7 "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."
Jeremiah 12:8 "Mine heritage is unto me as
a lion in the forest; it crieth out against
me: therefore have I hated it."
Jeremiah 12:9 "Mine heritage [is] unto me
[as] a speckled bird, the birds round about
[are] against her; come ye, assemble all
the beasts of the field, come to devour."
Jeremiah 12:10 "Many pastors have destroyed
my vineyard, they have trodden my portion
under foot, they have made my pleasant
portion a desolate wilderness."
Jeremiah 12:11 "They have made it desolate,
[and being] desolate it mourneth unto me;
the whole land is made desolate, because no
man layeth [it] to heart."
Jeremiah 12:12 "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."
Jeremiah 12:13 "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."
Jeremiah 12:14 "Thus saith the LORD against
all mine evil neighbors, 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."
Jeremiah 12:15 "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."
Jeremiah 12:16 "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 of my people."
Jeremiah 12:17 "But if they will not obey,
I will utterly pluck up and destroy that
nation, saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 13
Jeremiah Chapter 13
Jeremiah 13:2 "So I got a girdle according
to the word of the LORD, and put [it] on my
loins."
Jeremiah 13:3 "And the word of the LORD
came unto me the second time, saying,"
Jeremiah 13:4 "Take the girdle that thou
hast got, which [is] upon thy loins, and
arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there
in a hole of the rock."
Jeremiah 13:5 "So I went, and hid it by
Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me."
Jeremiah 13:6 "And it came to pass after
many days, that the LORD said unto me,
Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle
from thence, which I commanded thee to hide
there."
Jeremiah 13:7 "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."
Jeremiah 13:8 "Then the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying,"
Jeremiah 13:9 "Thus saith the LORD, After
this manner will I mar the pride of Judah,
and the great pride of Jerusalem."
Jeremiah 13:10 "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."
Jeremiah 13:11 "For as the girdle cleaveth
to the loins of a man, so have I caused to
cleave unto me the whole house of Israel
and the whole house of Judah, saith the
LORD; that they might be unto me for a
people, and for a name, and for a praise,
and for a glory: but they would not hear."
Jeremiah 13:12 "Therefore thou shalt speak
unto them this word; Thus saith the LORD
God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled
with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do
we not certainly know that every bottle
shall be filled with wine?"
Jeremiah 13:13 "Then shalt thou say unto
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."
Jeremiah 13:14 "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."
Jeremiah 13:15 "Hear ye, and give ear; be
not proud: for the LORD hath spoken."
Jeremiah 13:16 "Give glory to the LORD your
God, before he cause darkness, and before
your feet stumble upon the dark mountains,
and, while ye look for light, he turn it
into the shadow of death, [and] make [it]
gross darkness."
Jeremiah 13:17 "But if ye 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."
Jeremiah 13:18 "Say unto the king and to
the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for
your principalities shall come down, [even]
the crown of your glory."
Jeremiah 13:19 "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."
Jeremiah 13:20 "Lift up your eyes, and
behold them that come from the north: where
[is] the flock [that] was given thee, thy
beautiful flock?"
Jeremiah 13:21 "What wilt thou say when he
shall punish thee? For thou hast taught
them [to be] captains, [and] as chief over
thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a
woman in travail?"
Jeremiah 13:22 "And if thou say in thine
heart, Wherefore come these things upon me?
For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy
skirts discovered, [and] thy heels made
bare."
Jeremiah 13:23 "Can the Ethiopian change
his skin, or the leopard his spots? [then]
may ye also do good, that are accustomed to
do evil."
Jeremiah 13:24 "Therefore will I scatter
them as the stubble that passeth away by
the wind of the wilderness."
Jeremiah 13:25 "This [is] thy lot, the
portion of thy measures from me, saith the
LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and
trusted in falsehood."
Jeremiah 13:26 "Therefore will I discover
thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame
may appear."
Jeremiah 13:27 "I have seen thine
adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness
of thy whoredom, [and] thine abominations
on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee,
O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean?
when [shall it] once [be]?"
Jeremiah 14
Jeremiah Chapter 14
Jeremiah 14:1 "The word of the LORD that came
to Jeremiah concerning the dearth."
Jeremiah 14:2 "Judah mourneth, and the gates
thereof languish; they are black unto the
ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up."
Jeremiah 14:3 "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."
Jeremiah 14:4 "Because the ground is chapt, for
there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen
were ashamed, they covered their heads."
Jeremiah 14:5 "Yea, the hind also calved in the
field, and forsook [it], because there was no
grass."
Jeremiah 14:6 "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."
Jeremiah 14:7 "O LORD, though our iniquities
testify against us, do thou [it] for thy name's
sake: for our backslidings are many; we have
sinned against thee."
Jeremiah 14:8 "O the hope of Israel, the savior
thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou
be as a stranger in the land, and as a
wayfaring man [that] turneth aside to tarry for
a night?"
Jeremiah 14:9 "Why shouldest thou be as a man
astonished, as a mighty man [that] cannot save?
yet thou, O LORD, [art] in the midst of us, and
we are called by thy name; leave us not."
Jeremiah 14:10 "Thus saith the LORD unto 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."
Jeremiah 14:11 "Then said the LORD unto me,
Pray not for this people for [their] good."
Jeremiah 14:12 "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."
Jeremiah 14:13 "Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD!
behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall
not see the sword, neither shall ye have
famine; but I will give you assured peace in
this place."
Jeremiah 14:14 "Then the LORD said unto me, The
prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them
not, neither have I commanded them, neither
spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false
vision and divination, and a thing of nought,
and the deceit of their heart."
Jeremiah 14:15 "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."
Jeremiah 14:16 "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."
Jeremiah 14:17 "Therefore thou shalt say this
word unto 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."
Jeremiah 14:18 "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."
Jeremiah 14:19 "Hast thou utterly rejected
Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? why hast
thou 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!"
Jeremiah 14:20 "We acknowledge, O LORD, our
wickedness, [and] the iniquity of our fathers:
for we have sinned against thee."
Jeremiah 14:21 "Do not abhor [us], for thy
name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy
glory: remember, break not thy covenant with
us."
Jeremiah 14:22 "Are there [any] among the
vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain?
or can the heavens give showers? [art] not thou
he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon
thee: for thou hast made all these [things]."
Jeremiah 15
Jeremiah Chapter 15
Jeremiah 15:1 "Then said the LORD unto 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."
Jeremiah 15:2 "And it shall come to pass, if
they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth?
then thou 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."
Jeremiah 15:3 "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."
Jeremiah 15:4 "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."
Jeremiah 15:5 "For who shall have pity upon
thee, O Jerusalem? Or who shall bemoan thee? or
who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?"
Jeremiah 15:6 "Thou hast forsaken me, saith the
LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I
stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy
thee; I am weary with repenting."
Jeremiah 15:7 "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."
Jeremiah 15:8 "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."
Jeremiah 15:9 "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."
Jeremiah 15:10 "Woe is me, my mother, that thou
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."
Jeremiah 15:11 "The LORD said, Verily it shall
be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause
the enemy to entreat thee [well] in the time of
evil and in the time of affliction."
Jeremiah 15:12 "Shall iron break the northern
iron and the steel?"
Jeremiah 15:13 "Thy substance and thy treasures
will I give to the spoil without price, and
[that] for all thy sins, even in all thy
borders."
Jeremiah 15:14 "And I will make [thee] to pass
with thine enemies into a land [which] thou
knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine
anger, [which] shall burn upon you."
Jeremiah 15:15 "O LORD, thou 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."
Jeremiah 15:16 "Thy words were found, and I did
eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and
rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy
name, O LORD God of hosts."
Jeremiah 15:17 "I sat not in the assembly of
the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because
of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with
indignation."
Jeremiah 15:18 "Why is my pain perpetual, and
my wound incurable, [which] refuseth to be
healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a
liar, [and as] waters [that] fail?"
Jeremiah 15:19 "Therefore thus saith the LORD,
If thou return, then will I bring thee again,
[and] thou shalt stand before me: and if thou
take forth the precious from the vile, thou
shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto
thee; but return not thou unto them."
Jeremiah 15:20 "And I will make thee unto this
people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall
fight against thee, but they shall not prevail
against thee: for I [am] with thee to save thee
and to deliver thee, saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 15:21 "And I will deliver thee out of
the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee
out of the hand of the terrible."
Jeremiah 16
Jeremiah Chapter 16
Jeremiah 16:1 "The word of the LORD came also
unto me, saying,"
Jeremiah 16:2 "Thou shalt not take thee a wife,
neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in
this place."
Jeremiah 16:3 "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 begat them in
this land;"
Jeremiah 16:4 "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 carcases shall be meat for the fowls of
heaven, and for the beasts of the earth."
Jeremiah 16:5 "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."
Jeremiah 16:6 "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:"
Jeremiah 16:7 "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."
Jeremiah 16:8 "Thou shalt not also go into the
house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and
to drink."
Jeremiah 16:9 "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."
Jeremiah 16:10 "And it shall come to pass, when
thou shalt show this people all these words,
and they shall say unto thee, 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?"
Jeremiah 16:11 "Then shalt thou say unto 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;"
Jeremiah 16:12 "And ye have done worse than
your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one
after the imagination of his evil heart, that
they may not hearken unto me:"
Jeremiah 16:13 "Therefore will I cast you out
of this land into a land that ye know not,
[neither] ye nor your fathers; and there shall
ye serve other gods day and night; where I will
not show you favor."
Jeremiah 16:14 "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;"
Jeremiah 16:15 "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 unto their
fathers."
Jeremiah 16:16 "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."
Jeremiah 16:17 "For mine eyes [are] upon all
their ways: they are not hid from my face,
neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes."
Jeremiah 16:18 "And first I will recompense
their iniquity and their sin double; because
they have defiled my land, they have filled
mine inheritance with the carcases of their
detestable and abominable things."
Jeremiah 16:19 "O LORD, my strength, and my
fortress, and my refuge in the day of
affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee
from the ends of the earth, and shall say,
Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity,
and [things] wherein [there is] no profit."
Jeremiah 16:20 "Shall a man make gods unto
himself, and they [are] no gods?"
Jeremiah 16:21 "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."
Jeremiah 17
Jeremiah Chapter 17
Jeremiah 17:1 "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;"
Jeremiah 17:2 "Whilst their children
remember their altars and their groves by
the green trees upon the high hills."
Jeremiah 17:3 "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."
Jeremiah 17:4 "And thou, even thyself,
shalt discontinue from thine heritage that
I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve
thine enemies in the land which thou
knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in
mine anger, [which] shall burn for ever."
Jeremiah 17:5 "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed
[be] the man that trusteth in man, and
maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart
departeth from the LORD."
Jeremiah 17:6 "For he shall be like the
heath in the desert, and shall not see when
good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched
places in the wilderness, [in] a salt land
and not inhabited."
Jeremiah 17:7 "Blessed [is] the man that
trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the
LORD is."
Jeremiah 17:8 "For he shall be as a tree
planted by the waters, and [that] spreadeth
out her roots by the river, and shall not
see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be
green; and shall not be careful in the year
of drought, neither shall cease from
yielding fruit."
Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart [is] deceitful
above all [things], and desperately wicked:
who can know it?"
Jeremiah 17:10 "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."
Jeremiah 17:11 "[As] the partridge sitteth
[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."
Jeremiah 17:12 "A glorious high throne from
the beginning [is] the place of our
sanctuary."
Jeremiah 17:13 "O LORD, the hope of Israel,
all that forsake thee 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."
Jeremiah 17:14 "Heal me, O LORD, and I
shall be healed; save me, and I shall be
saved: for thou [art] my praise."
Jeremiah 17:15 "Behold, they say unto me,
Where [is] the word of the LORD? let it
come now."
Jeremiah 17:16 "As for me, I have not
hastened from [being] a pastor to follow
thee: neither have I desired the woeful
day; thou knowest: that which came out of
my lips was [right] before thee."
Jeremiah 17:17 "Be not a terror unto me:
thou [art] my hope in the day of evil."
Jeremiah 17:18 "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."
Jeremiah 17:20 "And say unto them, Hear ye
the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah,
and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:"
Jeremiah 17:21 "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;"
Jeremiah 17:22 "Neither carry forth a
burden out of your houses on the sabbath
day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye
the sabbath day, as I commanded your
fathers."
Jeremiah 17:23 "But they obeyed not,
neither inclined their ear, but made their
neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor
receive instruction."
Jeremiah 17:24 "And it shall come to pass,
if ye diligently hearken unto 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;"
Jeremiah 17:25 "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."
Jeremiah 17:26 "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, unto the house of the
LORD."
Jeremiah 17:27 "But if ye will not hearken
unto 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 quenched."
Jeremiah 18
Jeremiah Chapter 18
Jeremiah 18:1 "The word which came to
Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,"
Jeremiah 18:2 "Arise, and go down to the
potter's house, and there I will cause thee
to hear my words."
Jeremiah 18:3 "Then I went down to the
potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a
work on the wheels."
Jeremiah 18:4 "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]."
Jeremiah 18:5 "Then the word of the LORD
came to me, saying,"
Jeremiah 18:6 "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] ye in mine hand, O house of
Israel."
Jeremiah 18:7 "[At what] instant I shall
speak concerning a nation, and concerning a
kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and
to destroy [it];"
Jeremiah 18:8 "If that nation, against whom
I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I
will repent of the evil that I thought to
do unto them."
Jeremiah 18:9 "And [at what] instant I
shall speak concerning a nation, and
concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant
[it];"
Jeremiah 18:10 "If it do evil in my sight,
that it obey not my voice, then I will
repent of the good, wherewith I said I
would benefit them."
Jeremiah 18:11 "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 ye now
every one from his evil way, and make your
ways and your doings good."
Jeremiah 18:12 "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."
Jeremiah 18:13 "Therefore thus saith the
LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who
hath heard such things: the virgin of
Israel hath done a very horrible thing."
Jeremiah 18:14 "Will [a man] leave the snow
of Lebanon [which cometh] from the rock of
the field? [or] shall the cold flowing
waters that come from another place be
forsaken?"
Jeremiah 18:15 "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;"
Jeremiah 18:16 "To make their land
desolate, [and] a perpetual hissing; every
one that passeth thereby shall be
astonished, and wag his head."
Jeremiah 18:17 "I will scatter them as with
an east wind before the enemy; I will show
them the back, and not the face, in the day
of their calamity."
Jeremiah 18:18 "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."
Jeremiah 18:19 "Give heed to me, O LORD,
and hearken to the voice of them that
contend with me."
Jeremiah 18:20 "Shall evil be recompensed
for good? for they have digged a pit for my
soul. Remember that I stood before thee to
speak good for them, [and] to turn away thy
wrath from them."
Jeremiah 18:21 "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."
Jeremiah 18:22 "Let a cry be heard from
their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop
suddenly upon them: for they have digged a
pit to take me, and hid snares for my
feet."
Jeremiah 18:23 "Yet, LORD, thou 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 thee; deal [thus] with
them in the time of thine anger."
Jeremiah 19
Jeremiah Chapter 19
Jeremiah 19:2 "And go forth unto 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 thee,"
Jeremiah 19:3 "And say, Hear ye 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."
Jeremiah 19:4 "Because they have forsaken
me, and have estranged this place, and have
burned incense in it unto 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;"
Jeremiah 19:5 "They have built also the
high places of Baal, to burn their sons
with fire [for] burnt offerings unto Baal,
which I commanded not, nor spake [it],
neither came [it] into my mind:"
Jeremiah 19:6 "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."
Jeremiah 19:7 "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 carcases will I give to be meat for
the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts
of the earth."
Jeremiah 19:8 "And I will make this city
desolate, and a hissing; every one that
passeth thereby shall be astonished and
hiss because of all the plagues thereof."
Jeremiah 19:9 "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, wherewith their enemies,
and they that seek their lives, shall
straiten them."
Jeremiah 19:10 "Then shalt thou break the
bottle in the sight of the men that go with
thee."
Jeremiah 19:11 "And shalt say unto them,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will
I break this people and this city, as [one]
breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be
made whole again: and they shall bury
[them] in Tophet, till [there be] no place
to bury."
Jeremiah 19:12 "Thus will I do unto this
place, saith the LORD, and to the
inhabitants thereof, and [even] make this
city as Tophet:"
Jeremiah 19:13 "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 unto
all the host of heaven, and have poured out
drink offerings unto other gods."
Jeremiah 19:14 "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,"
Jeremiah 19:15 "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."
Jeremiah 20
Jeremiah Chapter 20
Jeremiah 20:1 "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."
Jeremiah 20:2 "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."
Jeremiah 20:3 "And it came to pass on the
morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah
out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto
him, The LORD hath not called thy name
Pashur, but Magor-missabib."
Jeremiah 20:4 "For thus saith the LORD,
Behold, I will make thee a terror to
thyself, and to all thy friends: and they
shall fall by the sword of their enemies,
and thine 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 them
with the sword."
Jeremiah 20:5 "Moreover I will deliver all
the strength of this city, and all the
labors 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."
Jeremiah 20:6 "And thou, Pashur, and all
that dwell in thine house shall go into
captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon,
and there thou shalt die, and shalt be
buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to
whom thou hast prophesied lies."
Jeremiah 20:7 "O LORD, thou hast deceived
me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger
than I, and hast prevailed: I am in
derision daily, every one mocketh me."
Jeremiah 20:8 "For since I spake, I cried
out, I cried violence and spoil; because
the word of the LORD was made a reproach
unto me, and a derision, daily."
Jeremiah 20:9 "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]."
Jeremiah 20:10 "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."
Jeremiah 20:11 "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."
Jeremiah 20:12 "But, O LORD of hosts, that
triest the righteous, [and] seest the reins
and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on
them: for unto thee have I opened my
cause."
Jeremiah 20:13 "Sing unto the LORD, praise
ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul
of the poor from the hand of evildoers."
Jeremiah 20:14 "Cursed [be] the day wherein
I was born: let not the day wherein my
mother bare me be blessed."
Jeremiah 20:15 "Cursed [be] the man who
brought tidings to my father, saying, A man
child is born unto thee; making him very
glad."
Jeremiah 20:16 "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;"
Jeremiah 20:17 "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]."
Jeremiah 20:18 "Wherefore came I forth out
of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that
my days should be consumed with shame?"
Jeremiah 21
Jeremiah Chapter 21
Jeremiah 21:1 "The word which came unto
Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah
sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah,
and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the
priest, saying,"
Jeremiah 21:2 "Inquire, I pray thee, of the
LORD for us; for Nebuchadnezzar 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."
Jeremiah 21:3 "Then said Jeremiah unto
them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:"
Jeremiah 21:4 "Thus saith the LORD God of
Israel; Behold, I will turn back the
weapons of war that [are] in your hands,
wherewith ye 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."
Jeremiah 21:5 "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."
Jeremiah 21:6 "And I will smite the
inhabitants of this city, both man and
beast: they shall die of a great
pestilence."
Jeremiah 21:7 "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 Nebuchadnezzar
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."
Jeremiah 21:8 "And unto this people thou
shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I
set before you the way of life, and the way
of death."
Jeremiah 21:9 "He that abideth 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 unto him for a prey."
Jeremiah 21:10 "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."
Jeremiah 21:11 "And touching the house of
the king of Judah, [say], Hear ye the word
of the LORD;"
Jeremiah 21:12 "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."
Jeremiah 21:13 "Behold, I [am] against
thee, 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?"
Jeremiah 21:14 "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."
Jeremiah 22
Jeremiah Chapter 22
Jeremiah 22:2 "And say, Hear the word of
the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest
upon the throne of David, thou, and thy
servants, and thy people that enter in by
these gates:"
Jeremiah 22:3 "Thus saith the LORD; Execute
ye 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."
Jeremiah 22:4 "For if ye 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."
Jeremiah 22:5 "But if ye will not hear
these words, I swear by myself, saith the
LORD, that this house shall become a
desolation."
Jeremiah 22:6 "For thus saith the LORD unto
the king's house of Judah; Thou [art]
Gilead unto me, [and] the head of Lebanon:
[yet] surely I will make thee a wilderness,
[and] cities [which] are not inhabited."
Jeremiah 22:7 "And I will prepare
destroyers against thee, every one with his
weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice
cedars, and cast [them] into the fire."
Jeremiah 22:8 "And many nations shall pass
by this city, and they shall say every man
to his neighbor, Wherefore hath the LORD
done thus unto this great city?"
Jeremiah 22:9 "Then they shall answer,
Because they have forsaken the covenant of
the LORD their God, and worshipped other
gods, and served them."
Jeremiah 22:10 "Weep ye 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."
Jeremiah 22:11 "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 thither any more:"
Jeremiah 22:12 "But he shall die in the
place whither they have led him captive,
and shall see this land no more."
Jeremiah 22:13 "Woe unto him that buildeth
his house by unrighteousness, and his
chambers by wrong; [that] useth his
neighbor's service without wages, and
giveth him not for his work;"
Jeremiah 22:14 "That saith, I will build me
a wide house and large chambers, and
cutteth him out windows; and [it is] ceiled
with cedar, and painted with vermilion."
Jeremiah 22:15 "Shalt thou reign, because
thou closest [thyself] in cedar? did not
thy father eat and drink, and do judgment
and justice, [and] then [it was] well with
him?"
Jeremiah 22:16 "He judged the cause of the
poor and needy; then [it was] well [with
him: was] not this to know me? saith the
LORD."
Jeremiah 22:17 "But thine eyes and thine
heart [are] not but for thy covetousness,
and for to shed innocent blood, and for
oppression, and for violence, to do [it]."
Jeremiah 22:18 "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!"
Jeremiah 22:19 "He shall be buried with the
burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth
beyond the gates of Jerusalem."
Jeremiah 22:21 "I spake unto thee in thy
prosperity; [but] thou saidst, I will not
hear. This [hath been] thy manner from thy
youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice."
Jeremiah 22:22 "The wind shall eat up all
thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into
captivity: surely then shalt thou be
ashamed and confounded for all thy
wickedness."
Jeremiah 22:23 "O inhabitant of Lebanon,
that makest thy nest in the cedars, how
gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon
thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!"
Jeremiah 22:24 "[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 thee thence;"
Jeremiah 22:25 "And I will give thee into
the hand of them that seek thy life, and
into the hand [of them] whose face thou
fearest, even into the hand of
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into
the hand of the Chaldeans."
Jeremiah 22:26 "And I will cast thee out,
and thy mother that bare thee, into another
country, where ye were not born; and there
shall ye die."
Jeremiah 22:27 "But to the land whereunto
they desire to return, thither shall they
not return."
Jeremiah 22:28 "[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?"
Jeremiah 22:29 "O earth, earth, earth, hear
the word of the LORD."
Jeremiah 22:30 "Thus saith the LORD, Write
ye 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."
Jeremiah 23
Jeremiah Chapter 23
Jeremiah 23:1 "Woe
be unto the pastors
that destroy and
scatter the sheep
of my pasture!
saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 23:2
"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."
Jeremiah 23:3 "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
Jeremiah 23:4 "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."
Jeremiah 23:5
"Behold, the days
come, saith the
LORD, that I will
raise unto David a
righteous Branch,
and a King shall
reign and prosper,
and shall execute
judgment and
justice in the
earth."
Jeremiah 23:6 "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."
Jeremiah 23:7
"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;"
Jeremiah 23:8 "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."
Jeremiah 23:9 "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."
Jeremiah 23:10 "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."
Jeremiah 23:11 "For
both prophet and
priest are profane;
yea, in my house
have I found their
wickedness, saith
the LORD."
Jeremiah 23:12
"Wherefore their
way shall be unto
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."
Jeremiah 23:13 "And
I have seen folly
in the prophets of
Samaria; they
prophesied in Baal,
and caused my
people Israel to
err."
Jeremiah 23:14 "I
have seen also in
the prophets of
Jerusalem a
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
unto me as Sodom,
and the inhabitants
thereof as
Gomorrah."
Jeremiah 23:15
"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."
Jeremiah 23:16
"Thus saith the
LORD of hosts,
Hearken not unto
the words of the
prophets that
prophesy unto you:
they make you vain:
they speak a vision
of their own heart,
[and] not out of
the mouth of the
LORD."
Jeremiah 23:17
"They say still
unto them that
despise me, The
LORD hath said, Ye
shall have peace;
and they say unto
every one that
walketh after the
imagination of his
own heart, No evil
shall come upon
you."
Jeremiah 23:18 "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]?"
Jeremiah 23:19
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.
Jeremiah 23:20 "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 ye shall consider
it perfectly."
Jeremiah 23:21 "I have not sent these
prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken
to them, yet they prophesied."
Jeremiah 23:22 "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."
Jeremiah 23:23 "[Am] I a God at hand, saith
the LORD, and not a God afar off?"
Jeremiah 23:24 "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."
Jeremiah 23:25 "I have heard what the
prophets said, that prophesy lies in my
name, saying, I have dreamed, I have
dreamed."
Jeremiah 23:26 "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;"
Jeremiah 23:27 "Which think to cause my
people to forget my name by their dreams
which they tell every man to his neighbor,
as their fathers have forgotten my name for
Baal."
Jeremiah 23:28 "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."
Jeremiah 23:29 "[Is] not my word like as a
fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer
[that] breaketh the rock in pieces?"
Jeremiah 23:30 "Therefore, behold, I [am]
against the prophets, saith the LORD, that
steal my words every one from his
neighbor."
Jeremiah 23:31 "Behold, I [am] against the
prophets, saith the LORD, that use their
tongues, and say, He saith."
Jeremiah 23:32 "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."
Jeremiah 23:33 "And when this people, or
the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee,
saying, What [is] the burden of the LORD?
Thou shalt then say unto them, What burden?
I will even forsake you, saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 23:34 "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."
Jeremiah 23:35 "Thus shall ye say every one
to his neighbor, and every one to his
brother, What hath the LORD answered? and,
What hath the LORD spoken?"
Jeremiah 23:36 "And the burden of the LORD
shall ye mention no more: for every man's
word shall be his burden; for ye have
perverted the words of the living God, of
the LORD of hosts our God."
Jeremiah 23:37 "Thus shalt thou say to the
prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee?
and, What hath the LORD spoken?"
Jeremiah 23:38 "But since ye say, The
burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith
the LORD; Because ye say this word, The
burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto
you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden
of the LORD;"
Jeremiah 23:39 "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:"
Jeremiah 23:40 "And I will bring an
everlasting reproach upon you, and a
perpetual shame, which shall not be
forgotten."
Jeremiah 24
Jeremiah Chapter 24
Jeremiah 24:1 "The LORD showed me, and,
behold, two baskets of figs [were] set
before the temple of the LORD, after that
Nebuchadnezzar 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."
Jeremiah 24:2 "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."
Jeremiah 24:3 "Then said the LORD unto me,
What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said,
Figs; the good figs, very good; and the
evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they
are so evil."
Jeremiah 24:4 "Again the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying,"
Jeremiah 24:5 "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."
Jeremiah 24:6 "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."
Jeremiah 24:7 "And I will give them a 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 unto me with
their whole heart."
Jeremiah 24:8 "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:"
Jeremiah 24:9 "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."
Jeremiah 24:10 "And I will send the sword,
the famine, and the pestilence, among them,
till they be consumed from off the land
that I gave unto them and to their
fathers."
Jeremiah 25
Jeremiah Chapter 25
Jeremiah 25:1 "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 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon;"
Jeremiah 25:2 "The which Jeremiah the
prophet spake unto all the people of Judah,
and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
saying,"
Jeremiah 25:3 "From the thirteenth year of
Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even
unto this day, that [is] the three and
twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath
come unto me, and I have spoken unto you,
rising early and speaking; but ye have not
hearkened."
Jeremiah 25:4 "And the LORD hath sent unto
you all his servants the prophets, rising
early and sending [them]; but ye have not
hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear."
Jeremiah 25:5 "They said, Turn ye 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 unto you and to
your fathers for ever and ever:"
Jeremiah 25:6 "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."
Jeremiah 25:7 "Yet ye have not hearkened
unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might
provoke me to anger with the works of your
hands to your own hurt."
Jeremiah 25:8 "Therefore thus saith the
LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my
words,"
Jeremiah 25:9 "Behold, I will send and take
all the families of the north, saith the
LORD, and Nebuchadnezzar 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 a hissing, and perpetual
desolations."
Jeremiah 25:10 "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."
Jeremiah 25:11 "And this whole land shall
be a desolation, [and] an astonishment; and
these nations shall serve the king of
Babylon seventy years."
Jeremiah 25:12 "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."
Jeremiah 25:13 "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."
Jeremiah 25:14 "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."
Jeremiah 25:15 "For thus saith the LORD God
of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of
this fury at my hand, and cause all the
nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it."
Jeremiah 25:16 "And they shall drink, and
be moved, and be mad, because of the sword
that I will send among them."
Jeremiah 25:17 "Then took I the cup at the
LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to
drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:"
Jeremiah 25:18 "[To wit], Jerusalem, and
the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof,
and the princes thereof, to make them a
desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and
a curse; as [it is] this day;"
Jeremiah 25:19 "Pharaoh king of Egypt, and
his servants, and his princes, and all his
people;"
Jeremiah 25:20 "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,"
Jeremiah 25:21 "Edom, and Moab, and the
children of Ammon,"
Jeremiah 25:22 "And all the kings of Tyrus,
and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings
of the isles which [are] beyond the sea,"
Jeremiah 25:23 "Dedan, and Tema, and Buz,
and all [that are] in the utmost corners,"
Jeremiah 25:24 "And all the kings of
Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled
people that dwell in the desert,"
Jeremiah 25:25 "And all the kings of Zimri,
and all the kings of Elam, and all the
kings of the Medes,"
Jeremiah 25:26 "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."
Jeremiah 25:27 "Therefore thou shalt say
unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be
drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no
more, because of the sword which I will
send among you."
Jeremiah 25:28 "And it shall be, if they
refuse to take the cup at thine hand to
drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly
drink."
Jeremiah 25:29 "For, lo, I begin to bring
evil on the city which is called by my
name, and should ye 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."
Jeremiah 25:30 "Therefore prophesy thou
against them all these words, and say unto
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
of the earth."
Jeremiah 25:31 "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."
Jeremiah 25:32 "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."
Jeremiah 25:33 "And the slain of the LORD
shall be at that day from [one] end of the
earth even unto the [other] end of the
earth: they shall not be lamented, neither
gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung
upon the ground."
Jeremiah 25:34 "Howl, ye shepherds, and
cry; and wallow yourselves [in the ashes],
ye principal of the flock: for the days of
your slaughter and of your dispersions are
accomplished; and ye shall fall like a
pleasant vessel."
Jeremiah 25:35 "And the shepherds shall
have no way to flee, nor the principal of
the flock to escape."
Jeremiah 25:36 "A voice of the cry of the
shepherds, and a howling of the principal
of the flock, [shall be heard]: for the
LORD hath spoiled their pasture."
Jeremiah 25:37 "And the peaceable
habitations are cut down because of the
fierce anger of the LORD."
Jeremiah 25:38 "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.
Jeremiah 26
Jeremiah Chapter 26
Jeremiah 26:1 "In the beginning of the
reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king
of Judah came this word from the LORD,
saying,"
Jeremiah 26:2 "Thus saith the LORD; Stand
in the court of the LORD'S house, and speak
unto all the cities of Judah, which come to
worship in the LORD'S house, all the words
that I command thee to speak unto them;
diminish not a word:"
Jeremiah 26:3 "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 unto them because of the evil
of their doings."
Jeremiah 26:4 "And thou shalt say unto
them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not
hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I
have set before you,"
Jeremiah 26:5 "To hearken to the words of
my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto
you, both rising up early, and sending
[them], but ye have not hearkened;"
Jeremiah 26:6 "Then will I make this house
like Shiloh, and will make this city a
curse to all the nations of the earth."
Jeremiah 26:7 "So the priests and the
prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah
speaking these words in the house of the
LORD."
Jeremiah 26:8 "Now it came to pass, when
Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all
that the LORD had commanded [him] to speak
unto all the people, that the priests and
the prophets and all the people took him,
saying, Thou shalt surely die."
Jeremiah 26:9 "Why hast thou 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."
Jeremiah 26:10 "When the princes of Judah
heard these things, then they came up from
the king's house unto the house of the
LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new
gate of the LORD'S [house]."
Jeremiah 26:11 "Then spake the priests and
the prophets unto the princes and to all
the people, saying, This man [is] worthy to
die; for he hath prophesied against this
city, as ye have heard with your ears."
Jeremiah 26:12 "Then spake Jeremiah unto
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 ye have heard."
Jeremiah 26:13 "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."
Jeremiah 26:14 "As for me, behold, I [am]
in your hand: do with me as seemeth good
and meet unto you."
Jeremiah 26:15 "But know ye for certain,
that if ye put me to death, ye 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 unto you to speak all these words in
your ears."
Jeremiah 26:16 "Then said the princes and
all the people unto 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."
Jeremiah 26:17 "Then rose up certain of the
elders of the land, and spake to all the
assembly of the people, saying,"
Jeremiah 26:18 "Micah the Morasthite
prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of
Judah, and spake 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."
Jeremiah 26:19 "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."
Jeremiah 26:20 "And there was also a man
that prophesied in the name of the LORD,
Urijah the son of Shemaiah of
Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this
city and against this land according to all
the words of Jeremiah:"
Jeremiah 26:21 "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;"
Jeremiah 26:22 "And Jehoiakim the king sent
men into Egypt, [namely], Elnathan the son
of Achbor, and [certain] men with him into
Egypt."
Jeremiah 26:23 "And they fetched forth
Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto
Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the
sword, and cast his dead body into the
graves of the common people."
Jeremiah 26:24 "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."
Jeremiah 27
Jeremiah Chapter 27
Jeremiah 27:1 "In the beginning of the
reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king
of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from
the LORD, saying,"
Jeremiah 27:2 "Thus saith the LORD to me;
Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them
upon thy neck,"
Jeremiah 27:3 "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 unto Zedekiah king of Judah;"
Jeremiah 27:4 And command them to say unto
their masters, Thus saith the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say
unto your masters;
Jeremiah 27:5 "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 unto
whom it seemed meet unto me."
Jeremiah 27:6 "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."
Jeremiah 27:7 "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."
Jeremiah 27:8 "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."
Jeremiah 27:9 "Therefore hearken not ye to
your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to
your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor
to your sorcerers, which speak unto you,
saying, Ye shall not serve the king of
Babylon:"
Jeremiah 27:10 "For they prophesy a lie
unto you, to remove you far from your land;
and that I should drive you out, and ye
should perish."
Jeremiah 27:11 "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."
Jeremiah 27:12 "I spake 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."
Jeremiah 27:13 "Why will ye die, thou 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?"
Jeremiah 27:14 "Therefore hearken not unto
the words of the prophets that speak unto
you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of
Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you."
Jeremiah 27:15 "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 ye might perish, ye, and the prophets
that prophesy unto you."
Jeremiah 27:16 "Also I spake to the priests
and to all this people, saying, Thus saith
the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your
prophets that prophesy unto you, saying,
Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house
shall now shortly be brought again from
Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you."
Jeremiah 27:17 "Hearken not unto them;
serve the king of Babylon, and live:
wherefore should this city be laid waste?"
Jeremiah 27:18 "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."
Jeremiah 27:19 "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,"
Jeremiah 27:20 "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;"
Jeremiah 27:21 "Yea, 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;"
Jeremiah 27:22 "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."
Jeremiah 28
Jeremiah Chapter 28
Jeremiah 28:1 "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, spake unto me in the house of the
LORD, in the presence of the priests and of
all the people, saying,"
Jeremiah 28:2 "Thus speaketh the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have
broken the yoke of the king of Babylon."
Jeremiah 28:3 "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:"
Jeremiah 28:4 "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."
Jeremiah 28:5 "Then the prophet Jeremiah
said unto 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,"
Jeremiah 28:6 "Even the prophet Jeremiah
said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD
perform thy words which thou hast
prophesied, to bring again the vessels of
the LORD'S house, and all that is carried
away captive, from Babylon into this
place."
Jeremiah 28:7 "Nevertheless hear thou now
this word that I speak in thine ears, and
in the ears of all the people;"
Jeremiah 28:8 "The prophets that have been
before me and before thee of old prophesied
both against many countries, and against
great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of
pestilence."
Jeremiah 28:9 "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."
Jeremiah 28:10 "Then Hananiah the prophet
took the yoke from off the prophet
Jeremiah's neck, and brake it."
Jeremiah 28:11 "And Hananiah spake 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."
Jeremiah 28:12 "Then the word of the LORD
came unto Jeremiah [the prophet], after
that Hananiah the prophet had broken the
yoke from off the neck of the prophet
Jeremiah, saying,"
Jeremiah 28:14 "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."
Jeremiah 28:15 "Then said the prophet
Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear
now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee;
but thou makest this people to trust in a
lie."
Jeremiah 28:16 "Therefore thus saith the
LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the
face of the earth: this year thou shalt
die, because thou hast taught rebellion
against the LORD."
Jeremiah 28:17 "So Hananiah the prophet
died the same year in the seventh month."
Jeremiah 29
Jeremiah Chapter 29
Jeremiah 29:1 "Now these [are] the words of
the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent
from Jerusalem unto 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;"
Jeremiah 29:2 "(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;)"
Jeremiah 29:3 "By the hand of Elasah the
son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of
Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent
unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon) saying,"
Jeremiah 29:4 "Thus saith the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are
carried away captives, whom I have caused
to be carried away from Jerusalem unto
Babylon;"
Jeremiah 29:5 "Build ye houses, and dwell
[in them]; and plant gardens, and eat the
fruit of them;"
Jeremiah 29:6 "Take ye 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
ye may be increased there, and not
diminished."
Jeremiah 29:7 "And seek the peace of the
city whither I have caused you to be
carried away captives, and pray unto the
LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall
ye have peace."
Jeremiah 29:8 "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 ye cause to be
dreamed."
Jeremiah 29:9 "For they prophesy falsely
unto you in my name: I have not sent them,
saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 29:10 "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."
Jeremiah 29:11 "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."
Jeremiah 29:12 "Then shall ye call upon me,
and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I
will hearken unto you."
Jeremiah 29:13 "And ye shall seek me, and
find [me], when ye shall search for me with
all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:14 "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
whence I caused you to be carried away
captive."
Jeremiah 29:15 "Because ye have said, The
LORD hath raised us up prophets in
Babylon;"
Jeremiah 29:16 "[Know] that thus saith the
LORD of the king that sitteth 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;"
Jeremiah 29:17 "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."
Jeremiah 29:18 "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 a
hissing, and a reproach, among all the
nations whither I have driven them:"
Jeremiah 29:19 "Because they have not
hearkened to my words, saith the LORD,
which I sent unto them by my servants the
prophets, rising up early and sending
[them]; but ye would not hear, saith the
LORD."
Jeremiah 29:20 "Hear ye therefore the word
of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom
I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:"
Jeremiah 29:21 "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 unto 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;"
Jeremiah 29:22 "And of them shall be taken
up a curse by all the captivity of Judah
which [are] in Babylon, saying, The LORD
make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom
the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;"
Jeremiah 29:23 "Because they have committed
villany in Israel, and have committed
adultery with their neighbors' 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."
Jeremiah 29:24 "[Thus] shalt thou also
speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,"
Jeremiah 29:25 "Thus speaketh the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because
thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all
the people that [are] at Jerusalem, and to
Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest,
and to all the priests, saying,"
Jeremiah 29:26 "The LORD hath made thee
priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest,
that ye should be officers in the house of
the LORD, for every man [that is] mad, and
maketh himself a prophet, that thou
shouldest put him in prison, and in the
stocks."
Jeremiah 29:27 "Now therefore why hast thou
not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which
maketh himself a prophet to you?"
Jeremiah 29:28 "For therefore he sent unto
us [in] Babylon, saying, This [captivity
is] long: build ye houses, and dwell [in
them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit
of them."
Jeremiah 29:29 "And Zephaniah the priest
read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah
the prophet."
Jeremiah 29:30 "Then came the word of the
LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,"
Jeremiah 29:31 "Send to all them of the
captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD
concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because
that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and
I sent him not, and he caused you to trust
in a lie:"
Jeremiah 29:32 "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."
Jeremiah 30
Jeremiah Chapter 30
Jeremiah 30:1 "The word that came to
Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,"
Jeremiah 30:2 "Thus speaketh the LORD God
of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words
that I have spoken unto thee in a book."
Jeremiah 30:3 "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."
Jeremiah 30:4 "And these [are] the words
that the LORD spake concerning Israel and
concerning Judah."
Jeremiah 30:5 "For thus saith the LORD; We
have heard a voice of trembling, of fear,
and not of peace."
Jeremiah 30:6 "Ask ye 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?"
Jeremiah 30:7 "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."
Jeremiah 30:8 "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:"
Jeremiah 30:9 "But they shall serve the
LORD their God, and David their king, whom
I will raise up unto them."
Jeremiah 30:10 "Therefore fear thou not, O
my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither
be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save
thee 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."
Jeremiah 30:11 "For I [am] with thee, saith
the LORD, to save thee: though I make a
full end of all nations whither I have
scattered thee, yet will I not make a full
end of thee: but I will correct thee in
measure, and will not leave thee altogether
unpunished."
Jeremiah 30:12 "For thus saith the LORD,
Thy bruise [is] incurable, [and] thy wound
[is] grievous."
Jeremiah 30:13 "[There is] none to plead
thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up:
thou hast no healing medicines."
Jeremiah 30:14 "All thy lovers have
forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I
have wounded thee with the wound of an
enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel
one, for the multitude of thine iniquity;
[because] thy sins were increased."
Jeremiah 30:15 "Why criest thou for thine
affliction? thy sorrow [is] incurable for
the multitude of thine iniquity: [because]
thy sins were increased, I have done these
things unto thee."
Jeremiah 30:16 "Therefore all they that
devour thee shall be devoured; and all
thine adversaries, every one of them, shall
go into captivity; and they that spoil thee
shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon
thee will I give for a prey."
Jeremiah 30:17 For I will restore health
unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy
wounds, saith the LORD; because they called
thee an Outcast, [saying], This [is] Zion,
whom no man seeketh after."
Jeremiah 30:18 "Thus saith the LORD;
Behold, I will bring again the captivity of
Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his
dwelling places; and the city shall be
builded upon her own heap, and the palace
shall remain after the manner thereof."
Jeremiah 30:19 "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."
Jeremiah 30:20 "Their children also shall
be as aforetime, and their congregation
shall be established before me, and I will
punish all that oppress them."
Jeremiah 30:21 "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 unto me: for who [is] this that
engaged his heart to approach unto me?
saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 30:22 And ye shall be my people,
and I will be your God.
Jeremiah 30:23 "Behold, the whirlwind of
the LORD goeth forth with fury, a
continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with
pain upon the head of the wicked."
Jeremiah 30:24 "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 ye
shall consider it."
Jeremiah 31
Jeremiah Chapter 31
Jeremiah 31:1 "At
the same time,
saith the LORD,
will I be the God
of all the families
of Israel, and they
shall be my
people."
Jeremiah 31:2 "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."
Jeremiah 31:3 "The
LORD hath appeared
of old unto me,
[saying], Yea, I
have loved thee
with an everlasting
love: therefore
with lovingkindness
have I drawn thee."
Jeremiah 31:4
"Again I will build
thee, and thou
shalt be built, O
virgin of Israel:
thou shalt again be
adorned with thy
tabrets, and shalt
go forth in the
dances of them that
make merry."
Jeremiah 31:5 "Thou
shalt yet plant
vines upon the
mountains of
Samaria: the
planters shall
plant, and shall
eat [them] as
common things."
Jeremiah 31:6 "For
there shall be a
day, [that] the
watchmen upon the
mount Ephraim shall
cry, Arise ye, and
let us go up to
Zion unto the LORD
our God."
Jeremiah 31:7 "For
thus saith the
LORD; Sing with
gladness for Jacob,
and shout among the
chief of the
nations: publish
ye, praise ye, and
say, O LORD, save
thy people, the
remnant of Israel."
Jeremiah 31:8
"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 thither."
Jeremiah 31:9 "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."
Jeremiah 31:10
"Hear the word of
the LORD, O ye
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."
Jeremiah 31:11 "For
the LORD hath
redeemed Jacob, and
ransomed him from
the hand of [him
that was] stronger
than he."
Jeremiah 31:12
"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."
Jeremiah 31:13
"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."
Jeremiah 31:14 "And
I will satiate the
soul of the priests
with fatness, and
my people shall be
satisfied with my
goodness, saith the
LORD."
Jeremiah 31:15
"Thus saith the
LORD; A voice was
heard in Ramah,
lamentation, [and]
bitter weeping;
Rachel weeping for
her children
refused to be
comforted for her
children, because
they [were] not."
Jeremiah 31:16
"Thus saith the
LORD; Refrain thy
voice from weeping,
and thine eyes from
tears: for thy work
shall be rewarded,
saith the LORD; and
they shall come
again from the land
of the enemy."
Jeremiah 31:17 "And
there is hope in
thine end, saith
the LORD, that thy
children shall come
again to their own
border."
Jeremiah 31:18 "I
have surely heard
Ephraim bemoaning
himself [thus];
Thou hast chastised
me, and I was
chastised, as a
bullock
unaccustomed [to
the yoke]: turn
thou me, and I
shall be turned;
for thou [art] the
LORD my God."
Jeremiah 31:19
"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."
Jeremiah 31:20
"[Is] Ephraim my
dear son? [is he] a
pleasant child? for
since I spake
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."
Jeremiah 31:21 Set thee up waymarks, make
thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the
highway, [even] the way [which] thou
wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel,
turn again to these thy cities.
Jeremiah 31:22 "How long wilt thou go
about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the
LORD hath created a new thing in the earth,
A woman shall compass a man."
Jeremiah 31:23 "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 thee,
O habitation of justice, [and] mountain of
holiness."
Jeremiah 31:24 "And there shall dwell in
Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof
together, husbandmen, and they [that] go
forth with flocks."
Jeremiah 31:25 "For I have satiated the
weary soul, and I have replenished every
sorrowful soul."
Jeremiah 31:26 "Upon this I awaked, and
beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me."
Jeremiah 31:27 "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."
Jeremiah 31:28 "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."
Jeremiah 31:29 "In those days they shall
say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour
grape, and the children's teeth are set on
edge."
Jeremiah 31:30 "But every one shall die for
his own iniquity: every man that eateth the
sour grape, his teeth shall be set on
edge."
Jeremiah 31:31 "Behold, the days come,
saith the LORD, that I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel, and with
the house of Judah:"
Jeremiah 31:32 "Not according to the
covenant 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 covenant they brake, although I was a
husband unto them, saith the LORD:"
Jeremiah 31:33 "But this [shall be] the
covenant 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."
Jeremiah 31:34 "And they shall teach no
more every man his neighbor, and every man
his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for
they shall all know me, from the least of
them unto the greatest of them, saith the
LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity,
and I will remember their sin no more."
Jeremiah 31:35 "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:"
Jeremiah 31:36 "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."
Jeremiah 31:37 "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."
Jeremiah 31:38 "Behold, the days come,
saith the LORD, that the city shall be
built to the LORD from the tower of
Hananeel unto the gate of the corner."
Jeremiah 31:39 "And the measuring line
shall yet go forth over against it upon the
hill Gareb, and shall compass about to
Goath."
Jeremiah 31:40 "And the whole valley of the
dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the
fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the
corner of the horse gate toward the east,
[shall be] holy unto the LORD; it shall not
be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for
ever."
Jeremiah 32
Jeremiah Chapter 32
Jeremiah 32:1 "The word that came to
Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of
Zedekiah king of Judah, which [was] the
eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar."
Jeremiah 32:2 "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."
Jeremiah 32:3 "For Zedekiah king of Judah
had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost
thou 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;"
Jeremiah 32:4 "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;"
Jeremiah 32:5 "And he shall lead Zedekiah
to Babylon, and there shall he be until I
visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight
with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper."
Jeremiah 32:6 "And Jeremiah said, The word
of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
Jeremiah 32:7 "Behold, Hanameel the son of
Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee,
saying, Buy thee my field that [is] in
Anathoth: for the right of redemption [is]
thine to buy [it]."
Jeremiah 32:8 "So Hanameel mine uncle's son
came to me in the court of the prison
according to the word of the LORD, and said
unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that
[is] in Anathoth, which [is] in the country
of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance
[is] thine, and the redemption [is] thine;
buy [it] for thyself. Then I knew that this
[was] the word of the LORD."
Jeremiah 32:9 "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."
Jeremiah 32:10 "And I subscribed the
evidence, and sealed [it], and took
witnesses, and weighed [him] the money in
the balances."
Jeremiah 32:11 "So I took the evidence of
the purchase, [both] that which was sealed
[according] to the law and custom, and that
which was open:"
Jeremiah 32:12 "And I gave the evidence of
the purchase unto 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 that sat in the court of the prison."
Jeremiah 32:13 "And I charged Baruch before
them, saying,"
Jeremiah 32:14 "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."
Jeremiah 32:15 "For thus saith the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields
and vineyards shall be possessed again in
this land."
Jeremiah 32:16 "Now when I had delivered
the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch
the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD,
saying,"
Jeremiah 32:17 "Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou
hast made the heaven and the earth by thy
great power and stretched out arm, [and]
there is nothing too hard for thee:"
Jeremiah 32:18 "Thou showest lovingkindness
unto 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,"
Jeremiah 32:19 "Great in counsel, and
mighty in work: for thine eyes [are] open
upon all the ways of the sons of men: to
give everyone according to his ways, and
according to the fruit of his doings:"
Jeremiah 32:20 "Which hast set signs and
wonders in the land of Egypt, [even] unto
this day, and in Israel, and among [other]
men; and hast made thee a name, as at this
day;"
Jeremiah 32:21 "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;"
Jeremiah 32:22 "And hast given them this
land, which thou didst swear to their
fathers to give them, a land flowing with
milk and honey;"
Jeremiah 32:23 "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 thou commandedst
them to do: therefore thou hast caused all
this evil to come upon them:"
Jeremiah 32:24 "Behold the mounts, they are
come unto 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 thou hast spoken is
come to pass; and, behold, thou seest
[it]."
Jeremiah 32:25 "And thou hast said unto me,
O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money,
and take witnesses; for the city is given
into the hand of the Chaldeans."
Jeremiah 32:26 "Then came the word of the
LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,"
Jeremiah 32:27 "Behold, I [am] the LORD,
the God of all flesh: is there any thing
too hard for me?"
Jeremiah 32:28 "Therefore thus saith the
LORD; Behold, I will give this city into
the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the
hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and
he shall take it:"
Jeremiah 32:29 "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 unto Baal, and poured out drink
offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to
anger."
Jeremiah 32:30 "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."
Jeremiah 32:31 "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 unto this day; that I should remove it
from before my face,"
Jeremiah 32:32 "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."
Jeremiah 32:33 "And they have turned unto
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."
Jeremiah 32:34 "But they set their
abominations in the house, which is called
by my name, to defile it."
Jeremiah 32:35 "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] unto Molech; which I commanded them
not, neither came it into my mind, that
they should do this abomination, to cause
Judah to sin."
Jeremiah 32:36 "And now therefore thus
saith the LORD, the God of Israel,
concerning this city, whereof ye say, It
shall be delivered into the hand of the
king of Babylon by the sword, and by the
famine, and by the pestilence;"
Jeremiah 32:37 "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
unto this place, and I will cause them to
dwell safely:"
Jeremiah 32:38 "And they shall be my
people, and I will be their God:"
Jeremiah 32:39 "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:"
Jeremiah 32:40 "And I will make an
everlasting covenant 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."
Jeremiah 32:41 "Yea, 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."
Jeremiah 32:42 "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."
Jeremiah 32:43 "And fields shall be bought
in this land, whereof ye say, [It is]
desolate without man or beast; it is given
into the hand of the Chaldeans."
Jeremiah 32:44 "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."
Jeremiah 33
Jeremiah Chapter 33
Jeremiah 33:1 "Moreover the word of the
LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time,
while he was yet shut up in the court of
the prison, saying,"
Jeremiah 33:2 "Thus saith the LORD the
maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to
establish it; the LORD [is] his name;"
Jeremiah 33:3 "Call unto me, and I will
answer thee, and show thee great and mighty
things, which thou knowest not."
Jeremiah 33:4 "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;"
Jeremiah 33:5 "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."
Jeremiah 33:6 "Behold, I will bring it
health and cure, and I will cure them, and
will reveal unto them the abundance of
peace and truth."
Jeremiah 33:7 "And I will cause the
captivity of Judah and the captivity of
Israel to return, and will build them, as
at the first."
Jeremiah 33:8 "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."
Jeremiah 33:9 "And it shall be to me a name
of joy, a praise and an honor before all
the nations of the earth, which shall hear
all the good that I do unto them: and they
shall fear and tremble for all the goodness
and for all the prosperity that I procure
unto it."
Jeremiah 33:10 "Thus saith the LORD; Again
there shall be heard in this place, which
ye 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,"
Jeremiah 33:11 "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."
Jeremiah 33:12 "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 a
habitation of shepherds causing [their]
flocks to lie down."
Jeremiah 33:13 "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 telleth [them], saith the
LORD."
Jeremiah 33:14 "Behold, the days come,
saith the LORD, that I will perform that
good thing which I have promised unto the
house of Israel and to the house of Judah."
Jeremiah 33:15 "In those days, and at that
time, will I cause the Branch of
righteousness to grow up unto David; and he
shall execute judgment and righteousness in
the land."
Jeremiah 33:16 "In those days shall Judah
be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely:
and this [is the name] wherewith she shall
be called, The LORD our righteousness."
Jeremiah 33:17 "For thus saith the LORD;
David shall never want a man to sit upon
the throne of the house of Israel;"
Jeremiah 33:18 "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."
Jeremiah 33:19 "And the word of the LORD
came unto Jeremiah, saying,"
Jeremiah 33:20 "Thus saith the LORD; If ye
can break my covenant of the day, and my
covenant of the night, and that there
should not be day and night in their
season;"
Jeremiah 33:21 "[Then] may also my covenant
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."
Jeremiah 33:22 "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 unto me."
Jeremiah 33:23 "Moreover the word of the
LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,"
Jeremiah 33:24 "Considerest thou 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."
Jeremiah 33:25 "Thus saith the LORD; If my
covenant [be] not with day and night, [and
if] I have not appointed the ordinances of
heaven and earth;"
Jeremiah 33:26 "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."
Jeremiah 34
Jeremiah Chapter 34
Jeremiah 34:1 "The word which came unto
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,"
Jeremiah 34:3 "And thou shalt not escape
out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken,
and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes
shall behold the eyes of the king of
Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth
to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon."
Jeremiah 34:4 "Yet hear the word of the
LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith
the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the
sword:"
Jeremiah 34:5 "[But] thou shalt die in
peace: and with the burnings of thy
fathers, the former kings which were before
thee, so shall they burn [odors] for thee;
and they will lament thee, [saying], Ah
lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith
the LORD."
Jeremiah 34:6 "Then Jeremiah the prophet
spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of
Judah in Jerusalem,"
Jeremiah 34:7 "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 defensed cities remained of the
cities of Judah."
Jeremiah 34:8 "[This is] the word that came
unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the
king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all
the people which [were] at Jerusalem, to
proclaim liberty unto them;"
Jeremiah 34:9 "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 his
brother."
Jeremiah 34:10 "Now when all the princes,
and all the people, which had entered into
the covenant, 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."
Jeremiah 34:11 "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."
Jeremiah 34:12 "Therefore the word of the
LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD,
saying,"
Jeremiah 34:13 "Thus saith the LORD, the
God of Israel; I made a covenant with your
fathers in the day that I brought them
forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the
house of bondmen, saying,"
Jeremiah 34:14 "At the end of seven years
let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew,
which hath been sold unto thee; and when he
hath served thee six years, thou shalt let
him go free from thee: but your fathers
hearkened not unto me, neither inclined
their ear."
Jeremiah 34:15 "And ye were now turned, and
had done right in my sight, in proclaiming
liberty every man to his neighbor; and ye
had made a covenant before me in the house
which is called by my name:"
Jeremiah 34:16 "But ye turned and polluted
my name, and caused every man his servant,
and every man his handmaid, whom he had set
at liberty at their pleasure, to return,
and brought them into subjection, to be
unto you for servants and for handmaids."
Jeremiah 34:17 "Therefore thus saith the
LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in
proclaiming liberty, every one to his
brother, and every man to his neighbor:
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
earth."
Jeremiah 34:18 "And I will give the men
that have transgressed my covenant, which
have not performed the words of the
covenant which they had made before me,
when they cut the calf in twain, and passed
between the parts thereof."
Jeremiah 34:19 "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;"
Jeremiah 34:20 "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 unto
the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts
of the earth."
Jeremiah 34:21 "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."
Jeremiah 34:22 "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."
Jeremiah 35
Jeremiah Chapter 35
Jeremiah 35:1 "The word which came unto
Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah,
saying,"
Jeremiah 35:3 "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;"
Jeremiah 35:4 "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:"
Jeremiah 35:5 "And I set before the sons of
the house of the Rechabites pots full of
wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink
ye wine."
Jeremiah 35:6 "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 ye], nor your sons for
ever:"
Jeremiah 35:7 "Neither shall ye build
house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard,
nor have [any]: but all your days ye shall
dwell in tents; that ye may live many days
in the land where ye [be] strangers."
Jeremiah 35:8 "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;"
Jeremiah 35:9 "Nor to build houses for us
to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor
field, nor seed:"
Jeremiah 35:10 "But we have dwelt in tents,
and have obeyed, and done according to all
that Jonadab our father commanded us."
Jeremiah 35:11 "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."
Jeremiah 35:12 "Then came the word of the
LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,"
Jeremiah 35:14 "The words of Jonadab the
son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons
not to drink wine, are performed; for unto
this day they drink none, but obey their
father's commandment: notwithstanding I
have spoken unto you, rising early and
speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me."
Jeremiah 35:16 "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 unto me:"
Jeremiah 35:17 "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 unto them, but they
have not heard; and I have called unto
them, but they have not answered."
Jeremiah 35:18 "And Jeremiah said unto the
house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the
LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because
ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab
your father, and kept all his precepts, and
done according unto all that he hath
commanded you:"
Jeremiah 35:19 "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."
Jeremiah 36
Jeremiah Chapter 36
Jeremiah 36:1 "And it came to pass in the
fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah
king of Judah, [that] this word came unto
Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,"
Jeremiah 36:2 "Take thee a roll of a book,
and write therein all the words that I have
spoken unto thee against Israel, and
against Judah, and against all the nations,
from the day I spake unto thee, from the
days of Josiah, even unto this day."
Jeremiah 36:3 "It may be that the house of
Judah will hear all the evil which I
purpose to do unto them; that they may
return every man from his evil way; that I
may forgive their iniquity and their sin."
Jeremiah 36:4 "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 unto him, upon a
roll of a book."
Jeremiah 36:5 "And Jeremiah commanded
Baruch, saying, I [am] shut up; I cannot go
into the house of the LORD:"
Jeremiah 36:6 "Therefore go thou, and read
in the roll, which thou 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 thou shalt read them
in the ears of all Judah that come out of
their cities."
Jeremiah 36:7 "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."
Jeremiah 36:8 "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."
Jeremiah 36:9 "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
unto Jerusalem."
Jeremiah 36:10 "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."
Jeremiah 36:11 "When Michaiah the son of
Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out
of the book all the words of the LORD,"
Jeremiah 36:12 "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."
Jeremiah 36:13 "Then Michaiah declared unto
them all the words that he had heard, when
Baruch read the book in the ears of the
people."
Jeremiah 36:14 "Therefore all the princes
sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son
of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto
Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll
wherein thou hast read in the ears of the
people, and come. So Baruch the son of
Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came
unto them."
Jeremiah 36:15 "And they said unto him, Sit
down now, and read it in our ears. So
Baruch read [it] in their ears."
Jeremiah 36:16 "Now it came to pass, when
they had heard all the words, they were
afraid both one and other, and said unto
Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all
these words."
Jeremiah 36:17 "And they asked Baruch,
saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write
all these words at his mouth?"
Jeremiah 36:18 "Then Baruch answered them,
He pronounced all these words unto me with
his mouth, and I wrote [them] with ink in
the book."
Jeremiah 36:19 "Then said the princes unto
Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah;
and let no man know where ye be."
Jeremiah 36:20 "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."
Jeremiah 36:21 "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."
Jeremiah 36:22 "Now the king sat in the
winter house in the ninth month: and [there
was a fire] on the hearth burning before
him."
Jeremiah 36:23 "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."
Jeremiah 36:24 "Yet they were not afraid,
nor rent their garments, [neither] the
king, nor any of his servants that heard
all these words."
Jeremiah 36:25 "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."
Jeremiah 36:26 "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."
Jeremiah 36:27 "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,"
Jeremiah 36:28 "Take thee 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."
Jeremiah 36:29 "And thou shalt say to
Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the
LORD; Thou hast burned this roll, saying,
Why hast thou written therein, saying, The
king of Babylon shall certainly come and
destroy this land, and shall cause to cease
from thence man and beast?"
Jeremiah 36:30 "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."
Jeremiah 36:31 "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."
Jeremiah 36:32 "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 unto
them many like words."
Jeremiah 37
Jeremiah Chapter 37
Jeremiah 37:1 "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."
Jeremiah 37:2 "But neither he, nor his
servants, nor the people of the land, did
hearken unto the words of the LORD, which
he spake by the prophet Jeremiah."
Jeremiah 37:3 "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 unto the
LORD our God for us."
Jeremiah 37:4 "Now Jeremiah came in and
went out among the people: for they had not
put him into prison."
Jeremiah 37:5 "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."
Jeremiah 37:6 "Then came the word of the
LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying,"
Jeremiah 37:7 "Thus saith the LORD, the God
of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of
Judah, that sent you unto me to inquire of
me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come
forth to help you, shall return to Egypt
into their own land."
Jeremiah 37:8 "And the Chaldeans shall come
again, and fight against this city, and
take it, and burn it with fire."
Jeremiah 37:9 "Thus saith the LORD; Deceive
not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall
surely depart from us: for they shall not
depart."
Jeremiah 37:10 "For though ye 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."
Jeremiah 37:11 "And it came to pass, that
when the army of the Chaldeans was broken
up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's
army,"
Jeremiah 37:12 "Then Jeremiah went forth
out of Jerusalem to go into the land of
Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the
midst of the people."
Jeremiah 37:13 "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, Thou fallest
away to the Chaldeans."
Jeremiah 37:14 "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."
Jeremiah 37:15 "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."
Jeremiah 37:16 "When Jeremiah was entered
into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and
Jeremiah had remained there many days;"
Jeremiah 37:17 "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, thou
shalt be delivered into the hand of the
king of Babylon."
Jeremiah 37:18 "Moreover Jeremiah said unto
king Zedekiah, What have I offended against
thee, or against thy servants, or against
this people, that ye have put me in
prison?"
Jeremiah 37:19 "Where [are] now your
prophets which prophesied unto you, saying,
The king of Babylon shall not come against
you, nor against this land?"
Jeremiah 37:20 "Therefore hear now, I pray
thee, O my lord the king: let my
supplication, I pray thee, be accepted
before thee; that thou cause me not to
return to the house of Jonathan the scribe,
lest I die there."
Jeremiah 37:21 "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."
Jeremiah 38
Jeremiah Chapter 38
Jeremiah 38:1 "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 unto all the people,
saying,"
Jeremiah 38:2 "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."
Jeremiah 38:3 "Thus saith the LORD, This
city shall surely be given into the hand of
the king of Babylon's army, which shall
take it."
Jeremiah 38:4 "Therefore the princes said
unto the king, We beseech thee, 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 unto them: for this
man seeketh not the welfare of this people,
but the hurt."
Jeremiah 38:5 "Then Zedekiah the king said,
Behold, he [is] in your hand: for the king
[is] not [he that] can do [any] thing
against you."
Jeremiah 38:6 "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."
Jeremiah 38:7 "Now when Ebed-melech 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;"
Jeremiah 38:8 "Ebed-melech went forth out
of the king's house, and spake to the king,
saying,"
Jeremiah 38:9 "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."
Jeremiah 38:10 "Then the king commanded
Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take
from hence thirty men with thee, and take
up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon,
before he die."
Jeremiah 38:11 "So Ebed-melech took the men
with him, and went into the house of the
king under the treasury, and took thence
old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and
let them down by cords into the dungeon to
Jeremiah."
Jeremiah 38:12 "And Ebed-melech the
Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now
[these] old cast clouts and rotten rags
under thine armholes under the cords. And
Jeremiah did so."
Jeremiah 38:13 "So they drew up Jeremiah
with cords, and took him up out of the
dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court
of the prison."
Jeremiah 38:14 "Then Zedekiah the king
sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto
him into the third entry that [is] in the
house of the LORD: and the king said unto
Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide
nothing from me."
Jeremiah 38:15 "Then Jeremiah said unto
Zedekiah, If I declare [it] unto thee, wilt
thou not surely put me to death? and if I
give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken
unto me?"
Jeremiah 38:16 "So Zedekiah the king sware
secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, [As] the
LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will
not put thee to death, neither will I give
thee into the hand of these men that seek
thy life."
Jeremiah 38:17 "Then said Jeremiah unto
Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of
hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt
assuredly go forth unto the king of
Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall
live, and this city shall not be burned
with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine
house:"
Jeremiah 38:18 "But if thou 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 thou shalt not escape out of
their hand."
Jeremiah 38:19 "And Zedekiah the king said
unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that
are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they
deliver me into their hand, and they mock
me."
Jeremiah 38:20 "But Jeremiah said, They
shall not deliver [thee]. Obey, I beseech
thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak
unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee,
and thy soul shall live."
Jeremiah 38:21 "But if thou refuse to go
forth, this [is] the word that the LORD
hath showed me:"
Jeremiah 38:22 "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, Thy friends have set thee on, and have
prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk
in the mire, [and] they are turned away
back."
Jeremiah 38:23 "So they shall bring out all
thy wives and thy children to the
Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of
their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand
of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt
cause this city to be burned with fire."
Jeremiah 38:24 "Then said Zedekiah unto
Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words,
and thou shalt not die."
Jeremiah 38:25 "But if the princes hear
that I have talked with thee, and they come
unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto
us now what thou hast said unto the king,
hide it not from us, and we will not put
thee to death; also what the king said unto
thee:"
Jeremiah 38:26 "Then thou shalt say unto
them, I presented my supplication before
the king, that he would not cause me to
return to Jonathan's house, to die there."
Jeremiah 38:27 "Then came all the princes
unto 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."
Jeremiah 38:28 "So Jeremiah abode in the
court of the prison until the day that
Jerusalem was taken: and he was [there]
when Jerusalem was taken."
Jeremiah 39
Jeremiah Chapter 39
Jeremiah 39:1 "In the ninth year of
Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month,
came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all
his army against Jerusalem, and they
besieged it."
Jeremiah 39:2 "[And] in the eleventh year
of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth
[day] of the month, the city was broken
up."
Jeremiah 39:3 "And all the princes of the
king of Babylon came in, and sat in the
middle gate, [even] Nergal-sharezer,
Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris,
Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the
residue of the princes of the king of
Babylon."
Jeremiah 39:4 "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
betwixt the two walls: and he went out the
way of the plain."
Jeremiah 39:5 "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."
Jeremiah 39:6 "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."
Jeremiah 39:7 "Moreover he put out
Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains,
to carry him to Babylon."
Jeremiah 39:8 "And the Chaldeans burned the
king's house, and the houses of the people,
with fire, and brake down the walls of
Jerusalem."
Jeremiah 39:9 "Then Nebuzar-adan 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."
Jeremiah 39:10 "But Nebuzar-adan 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."
Jeremiah 39:11 "Now Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to
Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard,
saying,"
Jeremiah 39:12 "Take him, and look well to
him, and do him no harm; but do unto him
even as he shall say unto thee."
Jeremiah 39:13 "So Nebuzar-adan the captain
of the guard sent, and Nebushasban,
Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag,
and all the king of Babylon's princes;"
Jeremiah 39:14 "Even they sent, and took
Jeremiah out of the court of the prison,
and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should
carry him home: so he dwelt among the
people."
Jeremiah 39:15 "Now the word of the LORD
came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in
the court of the prison, saying,"
Jeremiah 39:17 "But I will deliver thee in
that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt
not be given into the hand of the men of
whom thou [art] afraid."
Jeremiah 39:18 "For I will surely deliver
thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword,
but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee:
because thou hast put thy trust in me,
saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 40
Jeremiah Chapter 40
Jeremiah 40:1 "The word that came to
Jeremiah from the LORD, after that
Nebuzar-adan 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 unto
Babylon."
Jeremiah 40:2 "And the captain of the guard
took Jeremiah, and said unto him, The LORD
thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this
place."
Jeremiah 40:3 "Now the LORD hath brought
[it], and done according as he hath said:
because ye have sinned against the LORD,
and have not obeyed his voice, therefore
this thing is come upon you."
Jeremiah 40:4 "And now, behold, I loose
thee this day from the chains which [were]
upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee
to come with me into Babylon, come; and I
will look well unto thee: but if it seem
ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon,
forbear: behold, all the land [is] before
thee: whither it seemeth good and
convenient for thee to go, thither go."
Jeremiah 40:6 "Then went Jeremiah unto
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and
dwelt with him among the people that were
left in the land."
Jeremiah 40:7 "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 unto him men, and women, and
children, and of the poor of the land, of
them that were not carried away captive to
Babylon;"
Jeremiah 40:8 "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."
Jeremiah 40:9 "And Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto 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."
Jeremiah 40:10 "As for me, behold, I will
dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans,
which will come unto us: but ye, gather ye
wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put
[them] in your vessels, and dwell in your
cities that ye have taken."
Jeremiah 40:11 "Likewise when all the Jews
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;"
Jeremiah 40:12 "Even all the Jews returned
out of all places whither they were driven,
and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah,
unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer
fruits very much."
Jeremiah 40:13 "Moreover Johanan the son of
Kareah, and all the captains of the forces
that [were] in the fields, came to Gedaliah
to Mizpah,"
Jeremiah 40:14 "And said unto him, Dost
thou certainly know that Baalis the king of
the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam believed them not."
Jeremiah 40:15 "Then Johanan the son of
Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah
secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee,
and I will slay Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah, and no man shall know [it]:
wherefore should he slay thee, that all the
Jews which are gathered unto thee should be
scattered, and the remnant in Judah
perish?"
Jeremiah 40:16 "But Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah,
Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou
speakest falsely of Ishmael."
Jeremiah 41
Jeremiah Chapter 41
Jeremiah 41:1 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 unto
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to
Mizpah; and there they did eat
bread together in Mizpah.
Jeremiah 41:2 "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."
Jeremiah 41:3 "Ishmael also
slew all the Jews that were
with him, [even] with Gedaliah,
at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans
that were found there, [and]
the men of war."
Jeremiah 41:4 "And it came to
pass the second day after he
had slain Gedaliah, and no man
knew [it],"
Jeremiah 41:5 "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."
Jeremiah 41:6 "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 unto them, Come
to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam."
Jeremiah 41:7 "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."
Jeremiah 41:8 "But ten men were
found among them that said unto
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."
Jeremiah 41:9 "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."
Jeremiah 41:10 "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 Nebuzar-adan 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."
Jeremiah 41:11 "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,"
Jeremiah 41:12 "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."
Jeremiah 41:13 "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."
Jeremiah 41:14 "So all the
people that Ishmael had carried
away captive from Mizpah cast
about and returned, and went
unto Johanan the son of
Kareah."
Jeremiah 41:15 "But Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah escaped from
Johanan with eight men, and
went to the Ammonites."
Jeremiah 41:16 "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:"
Jeremiah 41:17 "And they
departed, and dwelt in the
habitation of Chimham, which is
by Beth-lehem, to go to enter
into Egypt,"
Jeremiah 41:18 "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."
Jeremiah 42
Jeremiah Chapter 42
Jeremiah 42:1 "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 unto the
greatest, came near,"
Jeremiah 42:2 "And said unto Jeremiah the
prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our
supplication be accepted before thee, and
pray for us unto the LORD thy God, [even]
for all this remnant; (for we are left
[but] a few of many, as thine eyes do
behold us:)"
Jeremiah 42:3 "That the LORD thy God may
show us the way wherein we may walk, and
the thing that we may do."
Jeremiah 42:4 "Then Jeremiah the prophet
said unto them, I have heard [you]; behold,
I will pray unto 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] unto
you; I will keep nothing back from you."
Jeremiah 42:5 "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 thee to us."
Jeremiah 42:6 "Whether [it be] good, or
whether [it be] evil, we will obey the
voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send
thee; that it may be well with us, when we
obey the voice of the LORD our God."
Jeremiah 42:7 "And it came to pass after
ten days, that the word of the LORD came
unto Jeremiah."
Jeremiah 42:8 "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,"
Jeremiah 42:9 "And said unto them, Thus
saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto
whom ye sent me to present your
supplication before him;"
Jeremiah 42:10 "If ye will still abide 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 unto you."
Jeremiah 42:11 "Be not afraid of the king
of Babylon, of whom ye 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."
Jeremiah 42:12 "And I will show mercies
unto you, that he may have mercy upon you,
and cause you to return to your own land."
Jeremiah 42:13 "But if ye say, We will not
dwell in this land, neither obey the voice
of the LORD your God,"
Jeremiah 42:14 "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:"
Jeremiah 42:15 "And now therefore hear the
word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus
saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
If ye wholly set your faces to enter into
Egypt, and go to sojourn there;"
Jeremiah 42:16 "Then it shall come to pass,
[that] the sword, which ye feared, shall
overtake you there in the land of Egypt,
and the famine, whereof ye were afraid,
shall follow close after you there in
Egypt; and there ye shall die."
Jeremiah 42:17 "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."
Jeremiah 42:18 "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 ye shall
enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an
execration, and an astonishment, and a
curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see
this place no more."
Jeremiah 42:19 "The LORD hath said
concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go
ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I
have admonished you this day."
Jeremiah 42:20 "For ye dissembled in your
hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD your
God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our
God; and according unto all that the LORD
our God shall say, so declare unto us, and
we will do [it]."
Jeremiah 42:21 "And [now] I have this day
declared [it] to you; but ye have not
obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor
any [thing] for the which he hath sent me
unto you."
Jeremiah 42:22 "Now therefore know
certainly that ye shall die by the sword,
by the famine, and by the pestilence, in
the place whither ye desire to go [and] to
sojourn."
Jeremiah 43
Jeremiah Chapter 43
Jeremiah 43:1 "And it came to pass, [that]
when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking
unto 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,"
Jeremiah 43:3 "But Baruch the son of Neriah
setteth thee 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."
Jeremiah 43:4 "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."
Jeremiah 43:5 "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;"
Jeremiah 43:6 "[Even] men, and women, and
children, and the king's daughters, and
every person that Nebuzar-adan 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."
Jeremiah 43:7 "So they came into the land
of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of
the LORD: thus came they [even] to
Tahpanhes."
Jeremiah 43:8 "Then came the word of the
LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,"
Jeremiah 43:9 "Take great stones in thine
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;"
Jeremiah 43:10 "And say unto them, Thus
saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar
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."
Jeremiah 43:11 "And when he cometh, 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."
Jeremiah 43:12 "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
thence in peace."
Jeremiah 43:13 "He shall break also the
images of Beth-shemesh, that [is] in the
land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods
of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire."
Jeremiah 44
Jeremiah Chapter 44
Jeremiah 44:1 "The word that came to
Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which
dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at
Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and
in the country of Pathros, saying,"
Jeremiah 44:2 "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,"
Jeremiah 44:3 "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, ye, nor your fathers."
Jeremiah 44:4 "Howbeit I sent unto you all
my servants the prophets, rising early and
sending [them], saying, Oh, do not this
abominable thing that I hate."
Jeremiah 44:5 "But they hearkened not, nor
inclined their ear to turn from their
wickedness, to burn no incense unto other
gods."
Jeremiah 44:6 "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."
Jeremiah 44:7 "Therefore now thus saith the
LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel;
Wherefore commit ye [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;"
Jeremiah 44:8 "In that ye provoke me unto
wrath with the works of your hands, burning
incense unto other gods in the land of
Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye
might cut yourselves off, and that ye might
be a curse and a reproach among all the
nations of the earth?"
Jeremiah 44:9 "Have ye 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
Jerusalem?"
Jeremiah 44:10 "They are not humbled [even]
unto this day, neither have they feared,
nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes,
that I set before you and before your
fathers."
Jeremiah 44:11 "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."
Jeremiah 44:12 "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 unto
the greatest, by the sword and by the
famine: and they shall be an execration,
[and] an astonishment, and a curse, and a
reproach."
Jeremiah 44:13 "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:"
Jeremiah 44:14 "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."
Jeremiah 44:15 "Then all the men which knew
that their wives had burned incense unto
other gods, and all the women that stood
by, a great multitude, even all the people
that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in
Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,"
Jeremiah 44:16 "[As for] the word that thou
hast spoken unto us in the name of the
LORD, we will not hearken unto thee."
Jeremiah 44:17 "But we will certainly do
whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own
mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of
heaven, and to pour out drink offerings
unto 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."
Jeremiah 44:18 "But since we left off to
burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to
pour out drink offerings unto her, we have
wanted all [things], and have been consumed
by the sword and by the famine."
Jeremiah 44:19 "And when we burned incense
to the queen of heaven, and poured out
drink offerings unto her, did we make her
cakes to worship her, and pour out drink
offerings unto her, without our men?"
Jeremiah 44:20 "Then Jeremiah said unto all
the people, to the men, and to the women,
and to all the people which had given him
[that] answer, saying,"
Jeremiah 44:21 "The incense that ye burned
in the cities of Judah, and in the streets
of Jerusalem, ye, 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?"
Jeremiah 44:22 "So that the LORD could no
longer bear, because of the evil of your
doings, [and] because of the abominations
which ye have committed; therefore is your
land a desolation, and an astonishment, and
a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this
day."
Jeremiah 44:23 "Because ye have burned
incense, and because ye 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 unto you, as at this
day."
Jeremiah 44:24 "Moreover Jeremiah said unto
all the people, and to all the women, Hear
the word of the LORD, all Judah that [are]
in the land of Egypt:"
Jeremiah 44:25 "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 unto her: ye will surely
accomplish your vows, and surely perform
your vows."
Jeremiah 44:26 "Therefore hear ye 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."
Jeremiah 44:27 "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."
Jeremiah 44:28 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."
Jeremiah 44:29 "And this [shall be] a sign
unto you, saith the LORD, that I will
punish you in this place, that ye may know
that my words shall surely stand against
you for evil:"
Jeremiah 44:30 "Thus saith the LORD;
Behold, I will give Pharaoh-hophra 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 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his
enemy, and that sought his life."

prophet spake unto Baruch the son of
Neriah, when he had written these words in

fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah
king of Judah, saying,"
Jeremiah 45:2 "Thus saith the LORD, the God
of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;"
Jeremiah 45:3 "Thou 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."

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."
Jeremiah 45:5 "And seekest thou 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
unto thee for a prey in all places whither
thou goest."

Gentiles;"

up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with
[your] helmets; furbish the spears, [and]
put on the brigandines."

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."

up as a flood, whose waters are moved as
the rivers?"

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."
Jeremiah 46:9 "Come up, ye horses; and
rage, ye 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."
Jeremiah 46:10 "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."

thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the
land: for the mighty man hath stumbled
against the mighty, [and] they are fallen
both together."

spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come
[and] smite the land of Egypt."

prepare thee; for the sword shall devour
round about thee."

swept away? they stood not, because the
LORD did drive them."

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."

king of Egypt [is but] a noise; he hath
passed the time appointed."

Egypt, furnish thyself to go into
captivity: for Noph shall be waste and
desolate without an inhabitant."

heifer, [but] destruction cometh; it cometh
out of the north."
Jeremiah 46:21 "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."

like a serpent; for they shall march with
an army, and come against her with axes, as
hewers of wood."

forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be
searched; because they are more than the
grasshoppers, and [are] innumerable."

be confounded; she shall be delivered into
the hand of the people of the north."

into the hand of those that seek their
lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar
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."
Jeremiah 46:27 "But fear not thou, O my
servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O
Israel: for, behold, I will save thee 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."
Jeremiah 46:28 "Fear thou not, O Jacob my
servant, saith the LORD: for I [am] with
thee; for I will make a full end of all the
nations whither I have driven thee: but I
will not make a full end of thee, but
correct thee in measure; yet will I not
leave thee wholly unpunished."

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."

cometh 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."

Ashkelon is cut off [with] the remnant of
their valley: how long wilt thou cut
thyself?"

how long [will it be] ere thou be quiet?
put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and
be still."

the LORD hath given it a charge against
Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there
hath he appointed it."

Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is
confounded [and] taken: Misgab is
confounded and dismayed."
Jeremiah 48:2 "[There shall be] no more

shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword
shall pursue thee."

from Horonaim, spoiling and great

upon every city, and no city shall escape:

shall be destroyed, as the Lord hath
spoken."

it may flee and get away: for the cities
thereof shall be desolate, without any to
dwell therein."
Jeremiah 48:10 "Cursed [be] he that doeth
the work of the LORD deceitfully, and
cursed [be] he that keepeth back his sword
from blood."
Jeremiah 48:11 "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."

come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto
him wanderers, that shall cause him to
wander, and shall empty his vessels, and
break their bottles."

inhabit Dibon, come down from [thy] glory,
and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab
shall come upon thee, [and] he shall
destroy thy strong holds."

stand by the way, and espy; ask him that
fleeth, and her that escapeth, [and] say,
What is done?"

off, and his arm is broken, saith the
LORD."

magnified [himself] against the LORD: Moab
also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also
shall be in derision."
Jeremiah 48:27 "For was not Israel a
derision unto thee? was he found among
thieves? for since thou spakest of him,
thou skippedst for joy."

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."

Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his
loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his
pride, and the haughtiness of his heart."

LORD; but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies
shall not so effect [it]."
Jeremiah 48:31 "Therefore will I howl for
Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab;
[mine heart] shall mourn for the men of
Kir-heres."
Jeremiah 48:32 "O vine of Sibmah, I will
weep for thee 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."
Jeremiah 48:33 "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."
Jeremiah 48:34 "From the cry of Heshbon
[even] unto Elealeh, [and even] unto Jahaz,
have they uttered their voice, from Zoar
[even] unto Horonaim, [as] a heifer of
three years old: for the waters also of
Nimrim shall be desolate."
Jeremiah 48:35 "Moreover I will cause to
cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that
offereth in the high places, and him that
burneth incense to his gods."

sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart
shall sound like pipes for the men of
Kir-heres: because the riches [that] he
hath gotten are perished."
Jeremiah 48:37 "For every head [shall be]
bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the
hands [shall be] cuttings, and upon the
loins sackcloth."
Jeremiah 48:38 "[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."
Jeremiah 48:39 "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."
Jeremiah 48:40 "For thus saith the LORD;
Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall
spread his wings over Moab."
Jeremiah 48:41 "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."

from [being] a people, because he hath
magnified [himself] against the LORD."
Jeremiah 48:43 "Fear, and the pit, and the
snare, [shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant
of Moab, saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 48:44 "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."
Jeremiah 48:45 "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."
Jeremiah 48:46 "Woe be unto thee, O Moab!
the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy
sons are taken captives, and thy daughters
captives."

captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith
the LORD. Thus far [is] the judgment of
Moab."
Jeremiah 49
Jeremiah Chapter 49
Jeremiah 49:1 "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?"
Jeremiah 49:2 "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 unto them
that were his heirs, saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 49:3 " Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is
spoiled: cry, ye 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."
Jeremiah 49:4 "Wherefore gloriest thou in
the valleys, thy flowing valley, O
backsliding daughter? that trusted in her
treasures, [saying], Who shall come unto
me?"

upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts,
from all those that be about thee; and ye
shall be driven out every man right forth;
and none shall gather up him that
wandereth.

again the captivity of the children of
Ammon, saith the LORD."

Teman? is counsel perished from the
prudent? Is their wisdom vanished?"

deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will
bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the
time [that] I will visit him."

thee, would they not leave [some] gleaning
grapes? if thieves by night, they will
destroy till they have enough."

I have uncovered his secret places, and he
shall not be able to hide himself: his seed
is spoiled, and his brethren, and his
neighbors, and he [is] not."
Jeremiah 49:11 Leave thy fatherless
children, I will preserve [them] alive; and
let thy widows trust in me."
Jeremiah 49:12 "For thus saith the LORD;
Behold, they whose judgment [was] not to
drink of the cup have assuredly drunken;
and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether
go unpunished? thou shalt not go
unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink [of
it]."

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."

the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto
the heathen, [saying], Gather ye together,
and come against her, and rise up to the
battle."
Jeremiah 49:15 "For, lo, I will make thee
small among the heathen, [and] despised
among men."
Jeremiah 49:16 "Thy terribleness hath
deceived thee, [and] the pride of thine
heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts
of the rock, that holdest the height of the
hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest
as high as the eagle, I will bring thee
down from thence, saith the LORD."
Jeremiah 49:17 "Also Edom shall be a
desolation: every one that goeth by it
shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all
the plagues thereof."

Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor
[cities] thereof, saith the LORD, no man
shall abide there, neither shall a son of
man dwell in it."
Jeremiah 49:19 "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?"
Jeremiah 49:20 "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."
Jeremiah 49:21 "The earth is moved at the
noise of their fall, at the cry the noise
thereof was heard in the Red sea."

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."

is confounded, and Arpad: for they have
heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted;
[there is] sorrow on the sea; it cannot be
quiet."

[and] turneth herself to flee, and fear
hath seized on [her]: anguish and sorrows
have taken her, as a woman in travail."
Jeremiah 49:25 "How is the city of praise
not left, the city of my joy!"
Jeremiah 49:26 "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."

the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume
the palaces of Ben-hadad."

concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon shall smite,
thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to
Kedar, and spoil the men of the east."
Jeremiah 49:29 "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 unto them, Fear [is] on every
side."
Jeremiah 49:30 "Flee, get you far off,
dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor,
saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and
hath conceived a purpose against you."
Jeremiah 49:31 "Arise, get you up unto the
wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care,
saith the LORD, which have neither gates
nor bars, [which] dwell alone."
Jeremiah 49:32 "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."
Jeremiah 49:33 "And Hazor shall be a
dwelling for dragons, [and] a desolation
for ever: there shall no man abide there,
nor [any] son of man dwell in it."

came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam
in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah
king of Judah, saying,"
Jeremiah 49:35 "Thus saith the LORD of
hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of
Elam, the chief of their might."
Jeremiah 49:36 "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."
Jeremiah 49:37 "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:"
Jeremiah 49:38 "And I will set my throne in
Elam, and will destroy from thence the king
and the princes, saith the LORD."

in the latter days, [that] I will bring
again the captivity of Elam, saith the
LORD."

Jeremiah 50:1 "The word that the LORD spake
against Babylon [and] against the land of
the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet."
Jeremiah 50:2 "Declare ye 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."
Jeremiah 50:3 "For out of the north there
cometh 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."

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."

Zion with their faces thitherward,
[saying], Come, and let us join ourselves
to the LORD in a perpetual covenant [that]
shall not be forgotten."

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 resting
place."

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."

Babylon, and go forth out of the land of
the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats
before the flocks."

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 thence she shall be
taken: their arrows [shall be] as of a
mighty expert man; none shall return in
vain."
Jeremiah 50:10 "And Chaldea shall be a
spoil: all that spoil her shall be
satisfied, saith the LORD."

because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of
mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as
the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;"

confounded; she that bare you shall be
ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the
nations [shall be] a wilderness, a dry
land, and a desert."

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."

against Babylon round about: all ye that
bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no
arrows: for she hath sinned against the
LORD."
Jeremiah 50:15 "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 unto her."
Jeremiah 50:16 "Cut off the sower 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."

sheep; the lions have driven [him] away:
first the king of Assyria hath devoured
him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of

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."

them go down to the slaughter: woe unto
them! for their day is come, the time of
their visitation."

and escape out of the land of Babylon, to
declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD
our God, the vengeance of his temple."

against Babylon: all ye 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 unto her: for she hath been proud
against the LORD, against the Holy One of
Israel."

men fall in the streets, and all her men of
war shall be cut off in that day, saith the
LORD."

thee, [O thou] most proud, saith the Lord
GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time

dismayed."

women: a sword [is] upon her treasures; and
they shall be robbed."

waters; and they shall be dried up: for it
[is] the land of graven images, and they

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 dwelt in from generation to generation."

the lance: they [are] cruel, and will not
show 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 thee, O daughter of
Babylon."

heard the report of them, and his hands
waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him,
[and] pangs as of a woman in travail."

like a lion from the swelling of Jordan
unto 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?"

counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken
against Babylon; and his purposes, that he
hath purposed against the land of the

[their] habitation desolate with them."

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;"

will send unto
Babylon fanners,
that shall fan her,
and shall empty her
land: for in the
day of trouble they
shall be against
her round about."

"Against [him that]
bendeth let the
archer bend his
bow, and against
[him that] lifteth
himself up in his
brigandine: and
spare ye not her
young men; destroy
ye utterly all her
host."
Jeremiah 51:4 "Thus
the slain shall
fall in the land of
the Chaldeans, and
[they that are]
thrust through in
her streets."

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."
Jeremiah 51:6 "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 unto her a
recompence."

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."

her; take balm for
her pain, if so be
she may be healed."

shields: the LORD
hath raised up the

of the Medes: for

it [is] the
vengeance of the
LORD, the vengeance
of his temple."
Jeremiah 51:12 "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

that which he spake
against the
inhabitants of
Babylon."

hath made the earth
by his power, he

understanding."

[his] voice, [there
is] a multitude of
waters in the
heavens; and he
causeth the vapors
to ascend from the
ends of the earth:

lightnings with
rain, and bringeth
forth the wind out
of his treasures."
Jeremiah 51:17
"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."

"They [are] vanity,
the work of errors:
in the time of
their visitation
they shall perish."

former of all
things: and [Israel

inheritance: the
LORD of hosts [is]
his name."

horse and his
rider; and with

break in pieces
captains and

against thee, O
destroying
mountain, saith the

the rocks, and will
make thee a burnt
mountain."

of thee a stone for
a corner, nor a
stone for
foundations; but
thou shalt be
desolate for ever,
saith the LORD."

ye 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
caterpillars."

her the nations
with the kings of
the Medes, the
captains thereof,
and all the rulers
thereof, and all
the land of his
dominion."

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."
Jeremiah 51:30 "The
mighty men of
Babylon have
forborne to fight,
they have remained
in [their] holds:
their might hath
failed; they became
as women: they have
burned her dwelling
places; her bars
are broken."
Jeremiah 51:31 "One
post shall run to
meet another, and
one messenger to
meet another, to
show the king of
Babylon that his
city is taken at
[one] end,"
Jeremiah 51:32 "And
that the passages
are stopped, and
the reeds they have
burned with fire,
and the men of war
are affrighted."
Jeremiah 51:33 "For
thus saith the LORD
of hosts, the God
of Israel; The
daughter of Babylon
[is] like a
threshing floor,
[it is] time to
thresh her: yet a
little while, and
the time of her
harvest shall
come."
Jeremiah 51:34 "Nebuchadnezzar 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."
Jeremiah 51:35 "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."
Jeremiah 51:36 "Therefore thus saith the
LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and
take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up
her sea, and make her springs dry."
Jeremiah 51:37 "And Babylon shall become
heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an
astonishment, and a hissing, without an
inhabitant."

like lions: they shall yell as lions'
whelps."

perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the
LORD."

lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he
goats."

surprised! how is Babylon become an
astonishment among the nations!"

Babylon: she is covered with the multitude
of the waves thereof."

desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a
land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth
[any] son of man pass thereby."

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 unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon
shall fall."
Jeremiah 51:45 "My people, go ye out of the
midst of her, and deliver ye every man his
soul from the fierce anger of the LORD."
Jeremiah 51:46 "And lest your heart faint,
and ye fear for the rumor that shall be
heard in the land; a rumor shall both come
[one] year, and after that in [another]
year [shall come] a rumor, and violence in
the land, ruler against ruler."
Jeremiah 51:47 "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."
Jeremiah 51:48 "Then the heaven and the
earth, and all that [is] therein, shall
sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall
come unto her from the north, saith the
LORD."
Jeremiah 51:49 "As Babylon [hath caused]
the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon
shall fall the slain of all the earth."
Jeremiah 51:50 "Ye that have escaped the
sword, go away, stand not still: remember
the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come
into your mind."
Jeremiah 51:51 "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."
Jeremiah 51:52 "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."
Jeremiah 51:53 "Though Babylon should mount
up to heaven, and though she should fortify
the height of her strength, [yet] from me
shall spoilers come unto her, saith the
LORD."
Jeremiah 51:54 "A sound of a cry [cometh]
from Babylon, and great destruction from
the land of the Chaldeans:"
Jeremiah 51:55 "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:"
Jeremiah 51:56 "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
recompenses shall surely requite."
Jeremiah 51:57 "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."
Jeremiah 51:58 "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
labor in vain, and the folk in the fire,
and they shall be weary."
Jeremiah 51:59 "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."
Jeremiah 51:60 "So Jeremiah wrote in a book
all the evil that should come upon Babylon,
[even] all these words that are written
against Babylon."
Jeremiah 51:61 "And Jeremiah said to
Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and
shalt see, and shalt read all these words;"
Jeremiah 51:62 "Then shalt thou say, O
LORD, thou 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."
Jeremiah 51:63 "And it shall be, when thou
hast made an end of reading this book,
[that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and
cast it into the midst of Euphrates:"
Jeremiah 51:64 And thou 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."
Jeremiah 52
Jeremiah Chapter 52
Jeremiah 52:1 "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."
Jeremiah 52:2 "And he did [that which was]
evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to
all that Jehoiakim had done."
Jeremiah 52:3 "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."
Jeremiah 52:4 "And it came to pass in the
ninth year of his reign, in the tenth
month, in the tenth [day] of the month,
[that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came,
he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and
pitched against it, and built forts against
it round about."
Jeremiah 52:5 "So the city was besieged
unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah."
Jeremiah 52:6 "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."
Jeremiah 52:7 "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."
Jeremiah 52:8 "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."
Jeremiah 52:9 "Then they took the king, and
carried him up unto the king of Babylon to
Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave
judgment upon him."
Jeremiah 52:10 "And the king of Babylon
slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes:
he slew also all the princes of Judah in
Riblah."
Jeremiah 52:11 "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."
Jeremiah 52:12 "Now in the fifth month, in
the tenth [day] of the month, which [was]
the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king
of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of
the guard, [which] served the king of
Babylon, into Jerusalem,"
Jeremiah 52:13 "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:"
Jeremiah 52:14 "And all the army of the
Chaldeans, that [were] with the captain of
the guard, brake down all the walls of
Jerusalem round about."
Jeremiah 52:15 "Then Nebuzar-adan 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."
Jeremiah 52:16 "But Nebuzar-adan the
captain of the guard left [certain] of the
poor of the land for vinedressers and for
husbandmen."
Jeremiah 52:17 "Also the pillars of brass
that [were] in the house of the LORD, and
the bases, and the brazen sea that [was] in
the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake,
and carried all the brass of them to
Babylon."
Jeremiah 52:18 "The caldrons also, and the
shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls,
and the spoons, and all the vessels of
brass wherewith they ministered, took they
away."
Jeremiah 52:19 "And the basins, 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."
Jeremiah 52:20 "The two pillars, one sea,
and twelve brazen 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."
Jeremiah 52:21 "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."
Jeremiah 52:22 "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 unto
these."
Jeremiah 52:23 "And there were ninety and
six pomegranates on a side; [and] all the
pomegranates upon the network [were] a
hundred round about."
Jeremiah 52:24 "And the captain of the
guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and
Zephaniah the second priest, and the three
keepers of the door:"
Jeremiah 52:25 "He took also out of the
city a 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."
Jeremiah 52:26 "So Nebuzar-adan the captain
of the guard took them, and brought them to
the king of Babylon to Riblah."
Jeremiah 52:27 "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."
Jeremiah 52:28 "This [is] the people whom
Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the
seventh year three thousand Jews and three
and twenty:"
Jeremiah 52:29 "In the eighteenth year of
Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from
Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two
persons:"
Jeremiah 52:30 "In the three and twentieth
year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzar-adan the
captain of the guard carried away captive
of the Jews seven hundred forty and five
persons: all the persons [were] four
thousand and six hundred."
Jeremiah 52:31 "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] Evil-merodach 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,"
Jeremiah 52:32 "And spake kindly unto him,
and set his throne above the throne of the
kings that [were] with him in Babylon,"
Jeremiah 52:33 "And changed his prison
garments: and he did continually eat bread
before him all the days of his life."
Jeremiah 52:34 "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."
