Jeremiah 6:18-30

18ThereforeH3651 hearH8085, O nationsH1471, And knowH3045, O congregationH5712, whatH834 is among them.191HearH8085, O earthH776: beholdH2009, I am bringingH935 disasterH7463 on thisH2088 peopleH5971, The 2fruitH6529 of their 3plansH4284, BecauseH3588H5921 they have not listenedH7181 to My wordsH1697, And as for My lawH8451, they have 4rejectedH3988 it also.205For whatH4100 purposeH2088 does 6frankincenseH3828 comeH935 to Me from ShebaH7614 And the 78sweetH2896 caneH7070 from a distantH4801 landH776? 9Your burntH5930 offeringsH5930 are not acceptableH7522 And your sacrificesH2077 are not pleasingH6149 to Me.”21ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2009, 10I am 11layingH5414 stumblingH4383 blocksH4383 beforeH413 thisH2088 peopleH5971. And they will stumbleH3782 against them, 12FathersH1 and sonsH1121 togetherH3164; NeighborH7934 and 13friendH7453 will perishH6.”

22ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2009, 14a peopleH5971 is comingH935 from the northH6828 landH776, And a greatH1419 nationH1471 will be arousedH5782 from the 15remoteH3411 partsH3411 of the earthH776.23They seizeH2388 16bowH7198 and spearH3591; They are 17cruelH394 and haveH7355 noH3808 mercyH7355; Their voiceH6963 18roarsH1993 like the seaH3220, And they rideH7392 on horsesH5483, ArrayedH6186 as a manH376 for the battleH4421 AgainstH5921 you, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726!”24We have 19heardH8085 the reportH8089 of it; Our handsH3027 are limpH7503. 20AnguishH6869 has seizedH2388 us, PainH2427 as of a woman in childbirthH3205.2521Do not goH3318 out into the fieldH7704 And 22do not walkH1980 on the roadH1870, For the enemyH340 has a swordH2719, 23TerrorH4032 is on everyH5439 sideH5439.26O daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, 24putH2296 on sackclothH8242 And 25rollH6428 in ashesH665; 2627MournH60 as for an onlyH3173 sonH3173, A lamentationH4553 mostH8563 bitterH8563. For suddenlyH6597 the destroyerH7703 Will comeH935 upon us.

27“I have 28madeH5414 you an assayerH969 and a testerH4013 among My peopleH5971, That you may knowH3045 and assayH974 their wayH1870.”28AllH3605 of them are stubbornlyH5637 rebelliousH5637, 29GoingH1980 about as a talebearerH7400. They are 30bronzeH5178 and ironH1270; They, allH3605 of them, are corruptH7843.29The bellowsH4647 blowH2787 fiercelyH2787, The leadH5777 is consumedH8552 by the fireH800; In vainH7723 the refiningH6884 goesH6884 on, But the 31wickedH7451 are not 32separatedH5423.3033They callH7121 them rejectedH3988 silverH3701, BecauseH3588 the 34LordH3068 has rejectedH3988 them.
