Jeremiah 6:9-17

9ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, They shall thoroughly glean the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 as a vineH1612: turnH7725 again thy handH3027 as a grape-gatherer into the baskets. 10To whom shall I speakH1696 and testify, that they may hearH8085? behold, their earH241 is uncircumcisedH6189, and they cannot hearken: behold, the wordH1697 of Jehovah is becomeH1961 unto them a reproachH2781; they have no delightH2654 in it. 11Therefore I am fullH4392 of the wrathH2534 of Jehovah; I am wearyH3811 with holdingH3557 in: pourH8210 it out upon the childrenH5768 in the streetH2351, and upon the assembly of youngH970 menH376 togetherH3162; for even the husbandH376 with the wifeH802 shall be takenH3920, the aged with him that is fullH4392 of daysH3117. 12And their housesH1004 shall be turnedH5437 unto othersH312, their fieldsH7704 and their wivesH802 togetherH3162; for I will stretchH5186 out my handH3027 upon the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, saith Jehovah. 13For from the least of them even unto the greatestH1419 of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophetH5030 even unto the priestH3548 every one dealeth falsely. 14They have healedH7495 also the hurt of my peopleH5971 slightly, sayingH559, PeaceH7965, peaceH7965; when there is no peaceH7965. 15Were they ashamedH954 when they had committed abominationH8441? nay, they were not at all ashamedH954, neither could they blush: thereforeH3651 they shall fallH5307 among them that fallH5307; at the timeH6256 that I visitH6485 them they shall be castH5307 downH5307, saith Jehovah.

16ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, StandH5975 ye in the waysH1870 and seeH7200, and askH7592 for the old pathsH5410, whereH335 is the goodH2896 wayH1870; and walk therein, and ye shall findH4672 rest for your soulsH5315: but they saidH559, We will not walk therein. 17And I setH6965 watchmenH6822 over you, sayingH559, Hearken to the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782; but they saidH559, We will not hearken.
