1The word1697 that came to Jeremiah3414 from the LORD3068, saying559,
2Stand5975 in the gate8179 of the LORD'S3068 house1004, and proclaim7121 there this word1697, and say559, Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD3068, all ye of Judah3063, that enter in935 at these gates8179 to worship7812 the LORD3068.
3Thus saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635, the God430 of Israel3478, Amend3190 your ways1870 and your doings4611, and I will cause you to dwell7931 in this place4725.
4Trust982 ye not in lying8267 words1697, saying559, The temple1964 of the LORD3068, The temple1964 of the LORD3068, The temple1964 of the LORD3068, are these.
5For if ye throughly3190 amend3190 your ways1870 and your doings4611; if ye throughly6213 execute6213 judgment4941 between a man376 and his neighbour7453;
6If ye oppress6231 not the stranger1616, the fatherless3490, and the widow490, and shed8210 not innocent5355 blood1818 in this place4725, neither walk3212 after310 other312 gods430 to your hurt7451:
7Then will I cause you to dwell7931 in this place4725, in the land776 that I gave5414 to your fathers1, for5704 ever5769 and ever5769.
8Behold, ye trust982 in lying8267 words1697, that cannot profit3276.
9Will ye steal1589, murder7523, and commit adultery5003, and swear7650 falsely8267, and burn incense6999 unto Baal1168, and walk1980 after310 other312 gods430 whom ye know3045 not;
10And come935 and stand5975 before6440 me in this house1004, which is called7121 by my name8034, and say559, We are delivered5337 to do6213 all these abominations8441?
11Is this house1004, which is called7121 by my name8034, become a den4631 of robbers6530 in your eyes5869? Behold, even I have seen7200 it, saith5002 the LORD3068.
12But go3212 ye now unto my place4725 which was in Shiloh7887, where I set7931 my name8034 at the first7223, and see7200 what I did6213 to it for6440 the wickedness7451 of my people5971 Israel3478.
13And now, because ye have done6213 all these works4639, saith5002 the LORD3068, and I spake1696 unto you, rising up early7925 and speaking1696, but ye heard8085 not; and I called7121 you, but ye answered6030 not;
14Therefore will I do6213 unto this house1004, which is called7121 by my name8034, wherein ye trust982, and unto the place4725 which I gave5414 to you and to your fathers1, as I have done6213 to Shiloh7887.
15And I will cast you out7993 of my sight6440, as I have cast out7993 all your brethren251, even the whole seed2233 of Ephraim669.
16Therefore pray6419 not thou for this people5971, neither lift up5375 cry7440 nor prayer8605 for them1157, neither make intercession6293 to me: for I will not hear8085 thee.
17Seest7200 thou not what they do6213 in the cities5892 of Judah3063 and in the streets2351 of Jerusalem3389?
18The children1121 gather3950 wood6086, and the fathers1 kindle1197 the fire784, and the women802 knead3888 their dough1217, to make6213 cakes3561 to the queen4446 of heaven8064, and to pour out5258 drink offerings5262 unto other312 gods430, that they may provoke me to anger3707.
19Do they provoke me to anger3707? saith5002 the LORD3068: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion1322 of their own faces6440?
20Therefore thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069; Behold, mine anger639 and my fury2534 shall be poured out5413 upon this place4725, upon man120, and upon beast929, and upon the trees6086 of the field7704, and upon the fruit6529 of the ground127; and it shall burn1197, and shall not be quenched3518.
21Thus saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635, the God430 of Israel3478; Put5595 your burnt offerings5930 unto your sacrifices2077, and eat398 flesh1320.
22For I spake1696 not unto your fathers1, nor commanded6680 them in the day3117 that I brought them out3318 of the land776 of Egypt4714, concerning1697 burnt offerings5930 or sacrifices2077:
23But this thing1697 commanded6680 I them, saying559, Obey8085 my voice6963, and I will be your God430, and ye shall be my people5971: and walk1980 ye in all the ways1870 that I have commanded6680 you, that it may be well3190 unto you.
24But they hearkened8085 not, nor inclined5186 their ear241, but walked3212 in the counsels4156 and in the imagination8307 of their evil7451 heart3820, and went backward268, and not forward6440.
25Since the day3117 that your fathers1 came forth out3318 of the land776 of Egypt4714 unto this day3117 I have even sent7971 unto you all my servants5650 the prophets5030, daily3117 rising up early7925 and sending7971 them:
26Yet they hearkened8085 not unto me, nor inclined5186 their ear241, but hardened7185 their neck6203: they did worse7489 than their fathers1.
27Therefore thou shalt speak1696 all these words1697 unto them; but they will not hearken8085 to thee: thou shalt also call7121 unto them; but they will not answer6030 thee.
28But thou shalt say559 unto them, This is a nation1471 that obeyeth8085 not the voice6963 of the LORD3068 their God430, nor receiveth3947 correction4148: truth530 is perished6, and is cut off3772 from their mouth6310.
29Cut off1494 thine hair5145, O Jerusalem, and cast it away7993, and take up5375 a lamentation7015 on high places8205; for the LORD3068 hath rejected3988 and forsaken5203 the generation1755 of his wrath5678.
30For the children1121 of Judah3063 have done6213 evil7451 in my sight5869, saith5002 the LORD3068: they have set7760 their abominations8251 in the house1004 which is called7121 by my name8034, to pollute2930 it.
31And they have built1129 the high places1116 of Tophet8612, which is in the valley1516 of the son1121 of Hinnom2011, to burn8313 their sons1121 and their daughters1323 in the fire784; which I commanded6680 them not, neither came5927 it into my heart3820.
32Therefore, behold, the days3117 come935, saith5002 the LORD3068, that it shall no more be called559 Tophet8612, nor the valley1516 of the son1121 of Hinnom2011, but the valley1516 of slaughter2028: for they shall bury6912 in Tophet8612, till there be no369 place4725.
33And the carcases5038 of this people5971 shall be meat3978 for the fowls5775 of the heaven8064, and for the beasts929 of the earth776; and none shall fray them away2729.
34Then will I cause to cease7673 from the cities5892 of Judah3063, and from the streets2351 of Jerusalem3389, the voice6963 of mirth8342, and the voice6963 of gladness8057, the voice6963 of the bridegroom2860, and the voice6963 of the bride3618: for the land776 shall be desolate2723.
