Jeremiah 17:14-27

141HealH7495 me, O LordH3068, and I will be healedH7495; 2SaveH3467 me and I will be savedH3467, For You are my 3praiseH8416.15LookH2009, they keep 4sayingH559 to me, “WhereH346 is the wordH1697 of the LordH3068? Let it comeH935 nowH4994!”16But as for me, I have not hurriedH213 away from being a shepherdH7462 afterH310 You, NorH3808 have I longedH183 for the woefulH605 dayH3117; 5You YourselfH859 knowH3045 that the utteranceH4161 of my lipsH8193 Was in Your presenceH6440.17Do not be a 6terrorH4288 to me; You are my 7refugeH4268 in the dayH3117 of disasterH7463.18Let those who persecuteH7291 me be 8putH954 to shameH954, but as for me, 9let me not be putH954 to shameH954; Let them be dismayedH2865, but let me not be dismayedH2865. 10BringH935 on them a dayH3117 of disasterH7463, And crushH7665 them with twofoldH4932 destructionH7670!

19ThusH3541 the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “GoH1980 and standH5975 in the 11publicH1121H5971 gateH8179, through whichH834 the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 comeH935 in and goH3318 out, as well as in allH3605 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389; 20and sayH559 to them, ‘12ListenH8085 to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, 13kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and allH3605 JudahH3063 and allH3605 inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 who comeH935 in through theseH428 gatesH8179: 21ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “14TakeH8104 heedH8104 for yourselvesH5315, and 15do not carryH5375 any loadH4853 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 or bringH935 anything in through the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389. 22You shall not bringH3318 a loadH4853 out of your housesH1004 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 16norH3808 doH6213 anyH3605 workH4399, but keepH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 holyH6942, as I 17commandedH6680 your 18forefathersH1. 23Yet they 19did not listenH8085 or inclineH5186 their earsH241, but 20stiffenedH7185 their necksH6203 in order not to listenH8085 or takeH3947 correctionH4148.

24“But it will comeH1961 about, ifH518 you 21listenH8085 attentivelyH8085 to Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “to 22bringH935 noH1115 loadH4853 in through the gatesH8179 of thisH2088 cityH5892 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, 23but to keepH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 holyH6942 by doingH6213 noH1115H3605 workH4399 on it, 2524then there will comeH935 in through the gatesH8179 of thisH2088 cityH5892 kingsH4428 and princesH8269 25sittingH3427 on the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, ridingH7392 in chariotsH7393 and on horsesH5483, they and their princesH8269, the menH376 of JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thisH2088 26cityH5892 will be inhabitedH3427 foreverH5769. 26They will comeH935 in from the 27citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and from the environsH5439 of JerusalemH3389, from the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, from the 28lowlandH8219, from the hillH2022 countryH2022 and from the 29NegevH5045, bringingH935 burntH5930 offeringsH5930, sacrificesH2077, grain offeringsH4503 and incenseH3828, and bringingH935 sacrificesH8426 of thanksgivingH8426 to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 27But 30ifH518 you do not listenH8085 to Me to keepH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 holyH6942 by not carryingH5375 a loadH4853 and comingH935 in through the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, then 31I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in its gatesH8179 and it will 32devourH398 the palacesH759 of JerusalemH3389 and 33not be quenchedH3518.”’”
