Jeremiah 6:18-30

18ThereforeH3651 hearH8085, you nationsH1471, And knowH3045, you congregationH5712, whatH834 is among them.191HearH8085, 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, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, 10I am 11placingH5414 stumblingH4383 blocksH4383 beforeH413 thisH2088 peopleH5971. And they will stumbleH3782 against them, 12FathersH1 and sonsH1121 togetherH3164; NeighborH7934 and 13friendH7453 will perishH6.”

22ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, there is 14a peopleH5971 comingH935 from the northH6828 landH776, And a greatH1419 nationH1471 will be stirredH5782 upH5782 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, LinedH6186 upH6186 as a manH376 for the battleH4421 AgainstH5921 you, daughterH1323 of ZionH6726!”24We have 19heardH8085 the reportH8089 of it; Our handsH3027 areH7503 limpH7503. 20AnguishH6869 has seizedH2388 us, PainH2427 like that of a woman inH3205 childbirthH3205.2521Do not goH3318 outH3318 into the fieldH7704, And 22do not walkH1980 on the roadH1870; For the enemyH340 has a swordH2719, 23TerrorH4032 is on everyH5439 sideH5439.26DaughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, 24putH2296 onH2296 sackclothH8242 And 25rollH6428 in ashesH665; 2627MournH60 as for an onlyH3173 sonH3173, A mostH8563 bitterH8563 mourningH4553. For suddenlyH6597 the destroyerH7703 Will comeH935 againstH935 us.

27“I have 28madeH5414 you an assayerH969 and an examinerH1219 among My peopleH5971, So that you may knowH3045 and putH974 their wayH1870 toH974 theH974 testH974.”28AllH3605 of them are stubbornlyH5637 rebelliousH5637, 29GoingH1980 aboutH1980 as a slandererH7400; They are 30bronzeH5178 and ironH1270. They are, allH3605 of them, corruptH7843.29The bellowsH4647 blowH2787 fiercelyH2787, The leadH5777 is consumedH8552 by the fireH800; In vainH7723 the refiningH6884 goesH6884 onH6884, But the 31wickedH7451 are not 32separatedH5423.3033They callH7121 them rejectedH3988 silverH3701, BecauseH3588 the 34LordH3068 has rejectedH3988 them.
