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

Stand{H5975} in the gate{H8179} of Jehovah's{H3068} house,{H1004} and proclaim{H7121} there this word,{H1697} and say,{H559} Hear{H8085} the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} all ye of Judah,{H3063} that enter in{H935} at these gates{H8179} to worship{H7812} Jehovah.{H3068}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} Amend{H3190} your ways{H1870} and your doings,{H4611} and I will cause you to dwell{H7931} in this place.{H4725}

Trust{H982} ye not in lying{H8267} words,{H1697} saying,{H559} The temple{H1964} of Jehovah,{H3068} the temple{H1964} of Jehovah,{H3068} the temple{H1964} of Jehovah,{H3068} are these.

For if ye thoroughly{H3190} amend{H3190} your ways{H1870} and your doings;{H4611} if ye thoroughly{H6213} execute{H6213} justice{H4941} between a man{H376} and his neighbor;{H7453}

if ye oppress{H6231} not the sojourner,{H1616} the fatherless,{H3490} and the widow,{H490} and shed{H8210} not innocent{H5355} blood{H1818} in this place,{H4725} neither walk{H3212} after{H310} other{H312} gods{H430} to your own hurt:{H7451}

then will I cause you to dwell{H7931} in this place,{H4725} in the land{H776} that I gave{H5414} to your fathers,{H1} from of old{H5769} even for{H5704} evermore.{H5769}

Behold, ye trust{H982} in lying{H8267} words,{H1697} that cannot profit.{H3276}

Will ye steal,{H1589} murder,{H7523} and commit adultery,{H5003} and swear{H7650} falsely,{H8267} and burn incense{H6999} unto Baal,{H1168} and walk{H1980} after{H310} other{H312} gods{H430} that ye have not known,{H3045}

and come{H935} and stand{H5975} before{H6440} me in this house,{H1004} which is called{H7121} by my name,{H8034} and say,{H559} We are delivered;{H5337} that ye may do{H6213} all these abominations?{H8441}

Is this house,{H1004} which is called{H7121} by my name,{H8034} become a den{H4631} of robbers{H6530} in your eyes?{H5869} Behold, I, even I, have seen{H7200} it, saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

But go{H3212} ye now unto my place{H4725} which was in Shiloh,{H7887} where I caused my name{H8034} to dwell{H7931} at the first,{H7223} and see{H7200} what I did{H6213} to it for{H6440} the wickedness{H7451} of my people{H5971} Israel.{H3478}

And now, because ye have done{H6213} all these works,{H4639} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} and I spake{H1696} unto you, rising up early{H7925} and speaking,{H1696} but ye heard{H8085} not; and I called{H7121} you, but ye answered{H6030} not:

therefore will I do{H6213} unto the house{H1004} which is called{H7121} by my name,{H8034} wherein ye trust,{H982} and unto the place{H4725} which I gave{H5414} to you and to your fathers,{H1} as I did{H6213} to Shiloh.{H7887}

And I will cast you out{H7993} of my sight,{H6440} as I have cast out{H7993} all your brethren,{H251} even the whole seed{H2233} of Ephraim.{H669}

Therefore pray{H6419} not thou for this people,{H5971} neither lift up{H5375} cry{H7440} nor prayer{H8605} for them,{H1157} neither make intercession{H6293} to me; for I will not hear{H8085} thee.

Seest{H7200} thou not what they do{H6213} in the cities{H5892} of Judah{H3063} and in the streets{H2351} of Jerusalem?{H3389}

The children{H1121} gather{H3950} wood,{H6086} and the fathers{H1} kindle{H1197} the fire,{H784} and the women{H802} knead{H3888} the dough,{H1217} to make{H6213} cakes{H3561} to the queen{H4446} of heaven,{H8064} and to pour out{H5258} drink-offerings{H5262} unto other{H312} gods,{H430} that they may provoke me to anger.{H3707}

Do they provoke me to anger?{H3707} saith{H5002} Jehovah;{H3068} [do they] not [provoke] themselves, to the confusion{H1322} of their own faces?{H6440}

Therefore thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} Behold, mine anger{H639} and my wrath{H2534} shall be poured out{H5413} upon this place,{H4725} upon man,{H120} and upon beast,{H929} and upon the trees{H6086} of the field,{H7704} and upon the fruit{H6529} of the ground;{H127} and it shall burn,{H1197} and shall not be quenched.{H3518}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} the God{H430} of Israel:{H3478} Add{H5595} your burnt-offerings{H5930} unto your sacrifices,{H2077} and eat{H398} ye flesh.{H1320}

For I spake{H1696} not unto your fathers,{H1} nor commanded{H6680} them in the day{H3117} that I brought them out{H3318} of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} concerning{H1697} burnt-offerings{H5930} or sacrifices:{H2077}

but this thing{H1697} I commanded{H6680} them, saying,{H559} Hearken{H8085} unto my voice,{H6963} and I will be your God,{H430} and ye shall be my people;{H5971} and walk{H1980} ye in all the way{H1870} that I command{H6680} you, that it may be well{H3190} with you.

But they hearkened{H8085} not, nor inclined{H5186} their ear,{H241} but walked{H3212} in [their own] counsels{H4156} [and] in the stubbornness{H8307} of their evil{H7451} heart,{H3820} and went backward,{H268} and not forward.{H6440}

Since the day{H3117} that your fathers{H1} came forth out{H3318} of the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} unto this day,{H3117} I have sent{H7971} unto you all my servants{H5650} the prophets,{H5030} daily{H3117} rising up early{H7925} and sending{H7971} them:

yet they hearkened{H8085} not unto me, nor inclined{H5186} their ear,{H241} but made their neck{H6203} stiff:{H7185} they did worse{H7489} than their fathers.{H1}

And thou shalt speak{H1696} all these words{H1697} unto them; but they will not hearken{H8085} to thee: thou shalt also call{H7121} unto them; but they will not answer{H6030} thee.

And thou shalt say{H559} unto them, This is the nation{H1471} that hath not hearkened{H8085} to the voice{H6963} of Jehovah{H3068} their God,{H430} nor received{H3947} instruction:{H4148} truth{H530} is perished,{H6} and is cut off{H3772} from their mouth.{H6310}

Cut off{H1494} thy hair,{H5145} [O Jerusalem], and cast it away,{H7993} and take up{H5375} a lamentation{H7015} on the bare heights;{H8205} for Jehovah{H3068} hath rejected{H3988} and forsaken{H5203} the generation{H1755} of his wrath.{H5678}

For the children{H1121} of Judah{H3063} have done{H6213} that which is evil{H7451} in my sight,{H5869} saith{H5002} Jehovah:{H3068} they have set{H7760} their abominations{H8251} in the house{H1004} which is called{H7121} by my name,{H8034} to defile{H2930} it.

And they have built{H1129} the high places{H1116} of Topheth,{H8612} which is in the valley{H1516} of the son{H1121} of Hinnom,{H2011} to burn{H8313} their sons{H1121} and their daughters{H1323} in the fire;{H784} which I commanded{H6680} not, neither came{H5927} it into my mind.{H3820}

Therefore, behold, the days{H3117} come,{H935} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that it shall no more be called{H559} Topheth,{H8612} nor The valley{H1516} of the son{H1121} of Hinnom,{H2011} but The valley{H1516} of Slaughter:{H2028} for they shall bury{H6912} in Topheth,{H8612} till there be no{H369} place{H4725} [to bury].

And the dead bodies{H5038} of this people{H5971} shall be food{H3978} for the birds{H5775} of the heavens,{H8064} and for the beasts{H929} of the earth;{H776} and none shall frighten them away.{H2729}

Then will I cause to cease{H7673} from the cities{H5892} of Judah,{H3063} and from the streets{H2351} of Jerusalem,{H3389} the voice{H6963} of mirth{H8342} and the voice{H6963} of gladness,{H8057} the voice{H6963} of the bridegroom{H2860} and the voice{H6963} of the bride;{H3618} for the land{H776} shall become a waste.{H2723}
