Jeremiah 7:13-34
13And nowH6258, becauseH3282 you have doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH4639,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “and I spokeH1696 to you, 1risingH7925 up earlyH7925 and 2speakingH1696, but you did not hearH8085, and I 3calledH7121 you but you did not answerH6030, 14therefore, I will doH6213 to the 4houseH1004 whichH834 is calledH7121 by My nameH8034, 5in whichH834 you trustH982, and to the placeH4725 whichH834 I gaveH5414 you and your fathersH1, as I 6didH6213 to ShilohH7887. 15I will 7castH7993 you out of My sightH6440, as I have castH7993 out allH3605 your brothersH251, allH3605 the 8offspringH2233 of 9EphraimH669.
16“As for you, 10do not prayH6419 for thisH2088 peopleH5971, and do not liftH5375 up cryH7440 or prayerH8605 for them, and do not intercedeH6293 with Me; for I do not hearH8085 you. 17Do you not seeH7200 whatH4100 they are doingH6213 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389? 18The 11childrenH1121 gatherH3950 woodH6086, and the fathersH1 kindleH1197 the fireH784, and the womenH802 kneadH3888 doughH1217 to makeH6213 cakesH3561 for the queenH4446 of heavenH8064; and they 12pourH5258 out drinkH5262 offeringsH5262 to otherH312 godsH430 in orderH4616 to 13spiteH3707 Me. 1914Do they spiteH3707 Me?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “Is it not themselves they spite, to 15their ownH6440 16shameH1322H6440?” 20ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 17GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, My 18angerH639 and My wrathH2534 will be pouredH5413 out on thisH2088 placeH4725, on manH120 and on beastH929 and on the 19treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 and on the fruitH6529 of the groundH127; and it will burnH1197 and not be quenchedH3518.”
21ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “AddH3254 your 20burntH5930 offeringsH5930 to your sacrificesH2077 and 21eatH398 fleshH1320. 22For I did not 22speakH1696 to your fathersH1, or commandH6680 them in the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 them out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, concerningH5921H1697 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077. 23But thisH2088 is 23whatH1697 I commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, ‘24ObeyH8085 My voiceH6963, and 25I will be your GodH430, and you will be My peopleH5971; and you will walkH1980 in allH3605 the wayH1870 whichH834 I commandH6680 you, that it may 26be wellH3190 with you.’ 24Yet they 27did not obeyH8085 or inclineH5186 their earH241, but walkedH1980 in their own counselsH4156 and in the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820, and 2829wentH1961 backwardH268 and not forwardH6440. 25SinceH4480 the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 cameH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117, I have 30sentH7971 you allH3605 My servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, dailyH3117 risingH7925 earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them. 26Yet they did not listenH8085 to Me or inclineH5186 their earH241, but 31stiffenedH7185 their neckH6203; they 32did moreH4480 evilH7489 thanH4480 their fathersH1.
27“You shall 33speakH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to them, but they will not listenH8085 to you; and you shall callH7121 to them, but they will 34not answerH6030 you. 28You shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH2088 is the nationH1471 that 35did not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 their GodH430 or acceptH3947 correctionH4148; 3637truthH530 has perishedH6 and has been cutH3772 offH3772 from their mouthH6310.2938CutH1494 offH1494 39your hairH5145 and castH7993 it awayH7993, And 40takeH5375 up a lamentationH7015 on the bareH8205 heightsH8205; For the LordH3068 has 41rejectedH3988 and forsakenH5203 The generationH1755 of His wrathH5678.’ 30For the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 have doneH6213 that whichH7451 is evilH7451 in My sightH5869,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “they have 42setH7760 their detestableH8251 thingsH8251 in the houseH1004 whichH834 is calledH7121 by My nameH8034, to defileH2930 it. 31They have 43builtH1129 the highH1116 placesH1116 of TophethH8612, whichH834 is in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, to 44burnH8313 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 in the fireH784, whichH834 I 45did not commandH6680, and it did not comeH5927 into My 46mindH3820.
32“47ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “when it will noH3808 longerH5750 be calledH559 TophethH8612, or the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, but the valleyH1516 of the SlaughterH2028; for they will 48buryH6912 in TophethH8612 49becauseH4480 thereH369 is noH369 other placeH4725. 33The 50deadH5038 bodiesH5038 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 will be foodH3978 for the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and for the beastsH929 of the earthH776; and noH369 oneH369 will frightenH2729 them away. 34Then I will make to 51ceaseH7673 from the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and from the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 the voiceH6963 of joyH8342 and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860 and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618; for the 52landH776 will becomeH1961 a ruinH2723.
