Verse 3

because{H6440} of their wickedness{H7451} which they have committed{H6213} to provoke me to anger,{H3707} in that they went{H3212} to burn incense,{H6999} [and] to serve{H5647} other{H312} gods,{H430} that they knew{H3045} not, neither they, nor ye, nor your fathers.{H1}

Howbeit I sent{H7971} unto you all my servants{H5650} the prophets,{H5030} rising up early{H7925} and sending{H7971} them, saying,{H559} Oh, do{H6213} not this abominable{H8441} thing{H1697} that I hate.{H8130}

Verse 5

But they hearkened{H8085} not, nor inclined{H5186} their ear{H241} to turn{H7725} from their wickedness,{H7451} to burn no incense{H6999} unto other{H312} gods.{H430}

Verse 6

Verse 7

Therefore now thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of hosts,{H6635} the God{H430} of Israel:{H3478} Wherefore commit{H6213} ye [this] great{H1419} evil{H7451} against your own souls,{H5315} to cut off{H3772} from you man{H376} and woman,{H802} infant{H5768} and suckling,{H3243} out{H8432} of the midst of Judah,{H3063} to leave{H3498} you none remaining;{H7611}

Verse 8

in that ye provoke me unto anger{H3707} with the works{H4639} of your hands,{H3027} burning incense{H6999} unto other{H312} gods{H430} in the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} whither ye are gone{H935} to sojourn;{H1481} that ye may be cut off,{H3772} and that ye may be a curse{H7045} and a reproach{H2781} among all the nations{H1471} of the earth?{H776}

Verse 9

Have ye forgotten{H7911} the wickedness{H7451} of your fathers,{H1} and the wickedness{H7451} of the kings{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} and the wickedness{H7451} of their wives,{H802} and your own wickedness,{H7451} and the wickedness{H7451} of your wives{H802} which they committed{H6213} in the land{H776} of Judah,{H3063} and in the streets{H2351} of Jerusalem?{H3389}

Verse 10

They are not humbled{H1792} even unto this day,{H3117} neither have they feared,{H3372} nor walked{H1980} in my law,{H8451} nor in my statutes,{H2708} that I set{H5414} before{H6440} you and before{H6440} your fathers.{H1}

Verse 11

Therefore thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} the God{H430} of Israel:{H3478} Behold, I will set{H7760} my face{H6440} against you for evil,{H7451} even to cut off{H3772} all Judah.{H3063}

Verse 12

And I will take{H3947} the remnant{H7611} of Judah,{H3063} that have set{H7760} their faces{H6440} to go{H935} into the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} to sojourn{H1481} there, and they shall all be consumed;{H8552} in the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} shall they fall;{H5307} they shall be consumed{H8552} by the sword{H2719} and by the famine;{H7458} they shall die,{H4191} from the least{H6996} even unto the greatest,{H1419} by the sword{H2719} and by the famine;{H7458} and they shall be an execration,{H423} [and] an astonishment,{H8047} and a curse,{H7045} and a reproach.{H2781}

Verse 13

For I will punish{H6485} them that dwell{H3427} in the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} as I have punished{H6485} Jerusalem,{H3389} by the sword,{H2719} by the famine,{H7458} and by the pestilence;{H1698}

Verse 14

so that none of the remnant{H7611} of Judah,{H3063} that are gone{H935} into the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} to sojourn{H1481} there, shall escape{H6412} or be left,{H8300} to return{H7725} into the land{H776} of Judah,{H3063} to which they have{H5375} a desire{H5315} to return{H7725} to dwell{H3427} there: for none shall return{H7725} save such as shall escape.{H6405}

Verse 15

Then all the men{H582} who knew{H3045} that their wives{H802} burned incense{H6999} unto other{H312} gods,{H430} and all the women{H802} that stood by,{H5975} a great{H1419} assembly,{H6951} even all the people{H5971} that dwelt{H3427} in the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} in Pathros,{H6624} answered{H6030} Jeremiah,{H3414} saying,{H559}

Verse 16

As for the word{H1697} that thou hast spoken{H1696} unto us in the name{H8034} of Jehovah,{H3068} we will not hearken{H8085} unto thee.

Verse 17

But we will certainly{H6213} perform{H6213} every word{H1697} that is gone forth{H3318} out of our mouth,{H6310} to burn incense{H6999} unto the queen{H4446} of heaven,{H8064} and to pour out{H5258} drink-offerings{H5262} unto her, as we have done,{H6213} we and our fathers,{H1} our kings{H4428} and our princes,{H8269} in the cities{H5892} of Judah,{H3063} and in the streets{H2351} of Jerusalem;{H3389} for then had we plenty{H7646} of victuals,{H3899} and were well,{H2896} and saw{H7200} no evil.{H7451}

Verse 18

But since we left off{H2308} burning incense{H6999} to the queen{H4446} of heaven,{H8064} and pouring out{H5258} drink-offerings{H5262} unto her, we have wanted{H2637} all things, and have been consumed{H8552} by the sword{H2719} and by the famine.{H7458}

Verse 19

And when we burned incense{H6999} to the queen{H4446} of heaven,{H8064} and poured out{H5258} drink-offerings{H5262} unto her, did we make{H6213} her cakes{H3561} to worship{H6087} her, and pour out{H5258} drink-offerings{H5262} unto her, without{H1107} our husbands?{H582}

Verse 20

Then Jeremiah{H3414} said{H559} unto all the people,{H5971} to the men,{H1397} and to the women,{H802} even to all the people{H5971} that had given him that answer,{H1697} saying,{H559}

Verse 21

The incense{H7002} that ye burned{H6999} in the cities{H5892} of Judah,{H3063} and in the streets{H2351} of Jerusalem,{H3389} ye and your fathers,{H1} your kings{H4428} and your princes,{H8269} and the people{H5971} of the land,{H776} did not Jehovah{H3068} remember{H2142} them, and came{H5927} it not into his mind?{H3820}

Verse 22

so that Jehovah{H3068} could{H3201} not longer bear,{H5375} because{H6440} of the evil{H7455} of your doings,{H4611} and because{H6440} of the abominations{H8441} which ye have committed;{H6213} therefore is your land{H776} become a desolation,{H2723} and an astonishment,{H8047} and a curse,{H7045} without inhabitant,{H3427} as it is this day.{H3117}

Verse 23

Because{H6440} ye have burned incense,{H6999} and because ye have sinned{H2398} against Jehovah,{H3068} and have not obeyed{H8085} the voice{H6963} of Jehovah,{H3068} nor walked{H1980} in his law,{H8451} nor in his statutes,{H2708} nor in his testimonies;{H5715} therefore this evil{H7451} is happened{H7122} unto you, as it is this day.{H3117}

Verse 24

Moreover Jeremiah{H3414} said{H559} unto all the people,{H5971} and to all the women,{H802} Hear{H8085} the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} all Judah{H3063} that are in the land{H776} of Egypt:{H4714}

Verse 25

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} saying,{H559} Ye and your wives{H802} have both spoken{H1696} with your mouths,{H6310} and with your hands{H3027} have fulfilled{H4390} it, saying,{H559} We will surely{H6213} perform{H6213} our vows{H5088} that we have vowed,{H5087} to burn incense{H6999} to the queen{H4446} of heaven,{H8064} and to pour out{H5258} drink-offerings{H5262} unto her: establish{H6965} then{H6965} your vows,{H5088} and{H6213} perform{H6213} your vows.{H5088}

Verse 26

Therefore hear{H8085} ye the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} all Judah{H3063} that dwell{H3427} in the land{H776} of Egypt:{H4714} Behold, I have sworn{H7650} by my great{H1419} name,{H8034} saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} that my name{H8034} shall no more be named{H7121} in the mouth{H6310} of any man{H376} of Judah{H3063} in all the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} saying,{H559} As the Lord{H136} Jehovah{H3069} liveth.{H2416}

Verse 27

Behold, I watch{H8245} over them for evil,{H7451} and not for good;{H2896} and all the men{H376} of Judah{H3063} that are in the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} shall be consumed{H8552} by the sword{H2719} and by the famine,{H7458} until there be an end{H3615} of them.

Verse 28

And they that escape{H6412} the sword{H2719} shall return out{H7725} of the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} into the land{H776} of Judah,{H3063} few{H4962} in number;{H4557} and all the remnant{H7611} of Judah,{H3063} that are gone{H935} into the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714} to sojourn{H1481} there, shall know{H3045} whose word{H1697} shall stand,{H6965} mine, or theirs.

Verse 29

And this shall be the sign{H226} unto you, saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that I will punish{H6485} you in this place,{H4725} that ye may know{H3045} that my words{H1697} shall surely{H6965} stand{H6965} against you for evil:{H7451}

Verse 30

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} Behold, I will give{H5414} Pharaoh Hophra{H6548} king{H4428} of Egypt{H4714} into the hand{H3027} of his enemies,{H341} and into the hand{H3027} of them that seek{H1245} his life;{H5315} as I gave{H5414} Zedekiah{H6667} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} into the hand{H3027} of Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon,{H894} who was his enemy,{H341} and sought{H1245} his life.{H5315}
