The word{H1697} that came to Jeremiah{H3414} from Jehovah,{H3068} saying,{H559}

Hear{H8085} ye the words{H1697} of this covenant,{H1285} and speak{H1696} unto the men{H376} of Judah,{H3063} and to the inhabitants{H3427} of Jerusalem;{H3389}

and say{H559} thou unto them, Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel:{H3478} Cursed{H779} be the man{H376} that heareth{H8085} not the words{H1697} of this covenant,{H1285}

which I commanded{H6680} your fathers{H1} in the day{H3117} that I brought them forth{H3318} out of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} out of the iron{H1270} furnace,{H3564} saying,{H559} Obey{H8085} my voice,{H6963} and do{H6213} them, according to all which I command{H6680} you: so shall ye be my people,{H5971} and I will be your God;{H430}

that I may establish{H6965} the oath{H7621} which I sware{H7650} unto your fathers,{H1} to give{H5414} them a land{H776} flowing{H2100} with milk{H2461} and honey,{H1706} as at this day.{H3117} Then answered{H6030} I, and said,{H559} Amen,{H543} O Jehovah.{H3068}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto me, Proclaim{H7121} all these words{H1697} in the cities{H5892} of Judah,{H3063} and in the streets{H2351} of Jerusalem,{H3389} saying,{H559} Hear{H8085} ye the words{H1697} of this covenant,{H1285} and do{H6213} them.

For I earnestly{H5749} protested{H5749} unto your fathers{H1} in the day{H3117} that I brought them up{H5927} out of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} even unto this day,{H3117} rising early{H7925} and protesting,{H5749} saying,{H559} Obey{H8085} my voice.{H6963}

Yet they obeyed{H8085} not, nor inclined{H5186} their ear,{H241} but walked{H3212} every one{H376} in the stubbornness{H8307} of their evil{H7451} heart:{H3820} therefore I brought{H935} upon them all the words{H1697} of this covenant,{H1285} which I commanded{H6680} them to do,{H6213} but they did{H6213} them not.

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto me, A conspiracy{H7195} is found{H4672} among the men{H376} of Judah,{H3063} and among the inhabitants{H3427} of Jerusalem.{H3389}

They are turned back{H7725} to the iniquities{H5771} of their forefathers,{H7223} who refused{H3985} to hear{H8085} my words;{H1697} and they are gone{H1980} after{H310} other{H312} gods{H430} to serve{H5647} them: the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} and the house{H1004} of Judah{H3063} have broken{H6565} my covenant{H1285} which I made{H3772} with their fathers.{H1}

Therefore thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} Behold, I will bring{H935} evil{H7451} upon them, which they shall not be able{H3201} to escape;{H3318} and they shall cry{H2199} unto me, but I will not hearken{H8085} unto them.

Then shall the cities{H5892} of Judah{H3063} and the inhabitants{H3427} of Jerusalem{H3389} go{H1980} and cry{H2199} unto the gods{H430} unto which they offer incense:{H6999} but they will not save{H3467} them at all{H3467} in the time{H6256} of their trouble.{H7451}

For according to the number{H4557} of thy cities{H5892} are thy gods,{H430} O Judah;{H3063} and according to the number{H4557} of the streets{H2351} of Jerusalem{H3389} have ye set up{H7760} altars{H4196} to the shameful thing,{H1322} even altars{H4196} to burn incense{H6999} unto Baal.{H1168}

Therefore pray{H6419} not thou for this people,{H5971} neither lift up{H5375} cry{H7440} nor prayer{H8605} for them; for I will not hear{H8085} them in the time{H6256} that they cry{H7121} unto me because of their trouble.{H7451}

What hath my beloved{H3039} to do in my house,{H1004} seeing she hath wrought{H6213} lewdness{H4209} [with] many,{H7227} and the holy{H6944} flesh{H1320} is passed{H5674} from thee? when thou doest evil,{H7451} then thou rejoicest.{H5937}

Jehovah{H3068} called{H7121} thy name,{H8034} A green{H7488} olive-tree,{H2132} fair{H3303} with goodly{H8389} fruit:{H6529} with the noise{H6963} of a great{H1419} tumult{H1999} he hath kindled{H3341} fire{H784} upon it, and the branches{H1808} of it are broken.{H7489}

For Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} who planted{H5193} thee, hath pronounced{H1696} evil{H7451} against thee, because{H1558} of the evil{H7451} of the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} and of the house{H1004} of Judah,{H3063} which they have wrought{H6213} for themselves in provoking me to anger{H3707} by offering incense{H6999} unto Baal.{H1168}

And Jehovah{H3068} gave me knowledge{H3045} of it, and I knew{H3045} it: then thou showedst{H7200} me their doings.{H4611}

But I was like a gentle{H441} lamb{H3532} that is led{H2986} to the slaughter;{H2873} and I knew{H3045} not that they had devised{H2803} devices{H4284} against me, [saying], Let us destroy{H7843} the tree{H6086} with the fruit{H3899} thereof, and let us cut him off{H3772} from the land{H776} of the living,{H2416} that his name{H8034} may be no more remembered.{H2142}

But, O Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} who judgest{H8199} righteously,{H6664} who triest{H974} the heart{H3629} and the mind,{H3820} I shall see{H7200} thy vengeance{H5360} on them; for unto thee have I revealed{H1540} my cause.{H7379}

Therefore thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} concerning the men{H582} of Anathoth,{H6068} that seek{H1245} thy life,{H5315} saying,{H559} Thou shalt not prophesy{H5012} in the name{H8034} of Jehovah,{H3068} that thou die{H4191} not by our hand;{H3027}

therefore thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} Behold, I will punish{H6485} them: the young men{H970} shall die{H4191} by the sword;{H2719} their sons{H1121} and their daughters{H1323} shall die{H4191} by famine;{H7458}

and there shall be no remnant{H7611} unto them: for I will bring{H935} evil{H7451} upon the men{H582} of Anathoth,{H6068} even the year{H8141} of their visitation.{H6486}
