Jeremiah 7:13-34

13And nowH6258, becauseH3282 you have doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH4639,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “and I spokeH1696 to you, 1speakingH1696 againH7925 andH7925 againH7925, but you did not listenH8085, and I 2calledH7121 you but you did not answerH6030, 14therefore I will doH6213 to the 3houseH1004 whichH834 is calledH7121 by My nameH8034, 4in whichH834 you trustH982, and to the placeH4725 whichH834 I gaveH5414 you and your fathersH1, justH3512 asH3512 I 5didH6213 to ShilohH7887. 15I will 6hurlH7993 you outH7993 of My sightH6440, justH3512 asH3512 I have hurledH7993 outH7993 allH3605 your brothersH251, allH3605 the 7descendantsH2233 of 8EphraimH669.

16“As for you, 9do not prayH6419 for thisH2088 peopleH5971, and do not liftH5375 upH5375 a cryH7440 or prayerH8605 for them, and do not pleadH6293 with Me; for I am not listeningH8085 to you. 17Do you not seeH7200 whatH4100 they are doingH6213 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389? 18The 10childrenH1121 gatherH3950 woodH6086, the fathersH1 kindleH1197 the fireH784, and the womenH802 kneadH3888 doughH1217 to makeH6213 sacrificialH3561 cakesH3561 for the queenH4446 of heavenH8064; and they 11pourH5258 outH5258 drinkH5262 offeringsH5262 to otherH312 godsH430 inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 12provokeH3707 Me toH3707 angerH3707. 1913Are they provokingH3707 Me?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “Is it not themselves instead, to their 14ownH6440 15shameH1322?” 20ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 16GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, My 17angerH639 and My wrathH2534 will be pouredH5413 outH5413 on thisH2088 placeH4725, on humanH120 and animalH929 life, and on the 18treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 and the fruitH6529 of the groundH127; and it will burnH1197 and not be quenchedH3518.”

21ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “AddH3254 your 19burntH5930 offeringsH5930 to your sacrificesH2077 and 20eatH398 fleshH1320. 22For I did not 21speakH1696 to your fathersH1, or commandH6680 them on the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, concerningH5921H1697 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077. 23But thisH2088 is 22whatH1697 I commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, ‘23ObeyH8085 My voiceH6963, and 24I will be your GodH430, and you will be My peopleH5971; and you shall walkH1980 25entirelyH3605 in the wayH1870 whichH834 I commandH6680 you, soH4616 thatH4616 it may 26goH3190 wellH3190 for you.’ 24Yet they 27did not obeyH8085 or inclineH5186 their earH241, but walkedH1980 by their own adviceH4156 and in the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartsH3820, and they 2829wentH1961 backwardH268 and not forwardH6440. 25SinceH4480 the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 cameH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117, I have 30sentH7971 you allH3605 My servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sendingH7971 them dailyH3117, againH7925 andH7925 againH7925. 26Yet they did not listenH8085 to Me or inclineH5186 their earH241, but 31stiffenedH7185 their neckH6203; they 32didH7489 moreH4480 evilH7489 thanH4480 their fathersH1.

27“So 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. 28And you shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH2088 is the nationH1471 that 35did not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 their GodH430 or acceptH3947 disciplineH4148; 3637trustworthinessH530 has perishedH6 and has been eliminatedH3772 from their mouthH6310.2938CutH1494 offH1494 39your hairH5145 and throwH7993 it awayH7993, And 40takeH5375 upH5375 a songH7015 ofH7015 mourningH7015 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 isH7451 evilH7451 in My sightH5869,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “They have 42putH7760 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 Ben-hinnomH1121H2011, 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 Ben-hinnomH1121H2011, but the ValleyH1516 of the SlaughterH2028; for they will 48buryH6912 in TophethH8612 49becauseH4480 thereH369 isH369 noH369 other placeH4725. 33The 50deadH5038 bodiesH5038 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 will be foodH3978 for the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and for the animalsH929 of the earthH776; and noH369 oneH369 will frightenH2729 them away. 34Then I will 51eliminateH7673 from the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and from the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 the voiceH6963 of joyH8342 and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the groomH2860 and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618; for the 52landH776 will becomeH1961 a siteH2723 ofH2723 ruinsH2723.
