Jeremiah 16

1The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 also unto meH413, sayingH559, 2Thou shalt notH3808 takeH3947 thee a wifeH802, neitherH3808 shalt thou have sonsH1121 or daughtersH1323 in this placeH4725. 3For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 concerning the sonsH1121 and concerning the daughtersH1323 that are bornH3205 in this placeH4725, and concerning their mothersH517 that bare them, and concerning their fathersH1 that begat them in this landH776: 4They shall dieH4191 of grievous deaths; they shalt notH3808 be lamentedH5594, neitherH3808 shall they be buriedH6912; they shall be as dungH1828 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the groundH776: and they shall be consumedH3615 by the swordH2719, and by famineH7458; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heavenH8064, and for the beastsH929 of the earthH776. 5For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, EnterH935 notH408 intoH935 the houseH1004 of mourningH4798, neitherH408 goH935 to lamentH5594, neitherH408 bemoan them: for I have takenH622 awayH622 my peaceH7965 from this peopleH5971, saith the LORDH3068, evenH3588 lovingkindness and tender merciesH7356. 6BothH4191 greatH1419 and smallH6996 shall dieH4191 in this landH776: they shall notH3808 be buriedH6912, neitherH3808 shall menH1419 lamentH5594 for them, norH3808 cutH1413 themselvesH1992, norH3808 makeH7139 themselvesH1992 baldH7139 for them: 7neitherH3808 shall men breakH6536 bread for them in mourningH60, to comfortH5162 them for the deadH4191; neitherH3808 shall men giveH8248 them the cupH3563 of consolationH8575 to drinkH8248 for their fatherH1 or for their motherH517. 8And thou shalt notH3808 goH935 intoH935 the houseH1004 of feastingH4960 to sitH3427 with them, to eatH398 and to drinkH8354. 9For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: BeholdH2005, I will cause to ceaseH7673 outH4480 of this placeH4725, beforeH5869 your eyesH5869 and in your daysH3117, the voiceH6963 of mirthH8057 and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroom and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618. 10And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, when thou shalt shew this peopleH5971 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697, and they shall sayH559 unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 pronouncedH1696 allH3605 this greatH1419 evilH7451 againstH5921 usH413? or whatH4100 is our iniquityH5771? or whatH4100 is our sinH2398 that weH3588 have committedH2398 againstH5921 the LORDH3068 our GodH430? 11Then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, BecauseH5921 your fathersH1 have forsaken meH413, saith the LORDH3068, and have walked afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, and have servedH5647 them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken meH413, and have notH3808 keptH8104 my lawH8451; 12and ye have doneH6213 evilH7451 more thanH1115 your fathersH1; for, beholdH2005, ye walkH1980 everyH376 one afterH310 the stubbornnessH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820, soH1980 that ye hearken notH1115 unto meH413: 13therefore will I castH5414 youH859 forthH5414 outH3045 of this landH776 intoH5921 the landH776 that ye have notH3808 knownH3045, neitherH3808 ye norH3808 your fathersH1; and there shall ye serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430 dayH3119 and nightH3915; for I will shew youH859 noH3808 favour. 14Therefore, beholdH2009, the daysH3117 comeH935, saith the LORDH3068, that it shall noH3808 moreH5750 be saidH559, As the LORDH3068 liveth, that broughtH935 upH5927 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 outH935 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; 15but, As the LORDH3068 liveth, that broughtH5927 upH5927 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 from the landH776 of the northH6828, and from allH3605 the countriesH776 whither he had drivenH5080 them: and I will bringH7725 them againH7725 intoH5921 their landH776 that I gaveH5414 unto their fathersH1. 16BeholdH2005, I will sendH7971 for manyH7227 fishers saith the LORDH3068, and they shall fishH1770 them; and afterwardH310 I will sendH7971 for manyH7227 hunters, and they shall huntH6679 them from everyH3605 mountainH2022, and from everyH3605 hillH2022, and outH7971 of the holes of the rocksH5553. 17For mine eyesH5869 are uponH5921 allH3605 their waysH1870: they are notH3808 hidH5641 from my faceH6440, neitherH3808 is their iniquityH5771 concealedH5641 from mine eyesH5869. 18And firstH7223 I will recompense their iniquityH5771 and their sinH2403 doubleH4932; becauseH5921 they have polluted my landH776 with the carcases of their detestableH8251 things, and have filledH4390 mine inheritanceH5159 with their abominationsH8441. 19O LORDH3068, my strengthH5797, and my strongH5797 hold, and my refugeH4581 in the dayH3117 of affliction, unto thee shall the nationsH1471 comeH935 from the endsH657 of the earthH776, and shall sayH559, Our fathersH1 have inheritedH5157 nought but liesH8267, evenH776 vanityH1892 and things wherein there is noH369 profitH3276. 20Shall a manH120 makeH6213 unto himselfH3808 godsH430, which yet are noH3808 godsH430? 21Therefore, beholdH2005, I will cause them to knowH3045, this onceH6471 will I cause them to knowH3045 mine handH3027 and my might; and they shall knowH3045 that my nameH8034 is JehovahH3068.
