Jeremiah 6

1FleeH5756 for safetyH5756, ye childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, outH8259 of the midstH7130 of JerusalemH3389, and blowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in TekoaH8620, and raiseH5375 upH5375 a signalH4864 on Beth-haccheremH1021: for evilH7451 looketh forthH5375 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 destructionH7667. 2The comelyH5000 and delicate one, the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, will I cutH1820 offH1820. 3ShepherdsH7462 with their flocksH5739 shall comeH935 unto herH413; they shall pitchH8628 their tentsH168 againstH5921 herH413 roundH5439 aboutH5439; they shall feedH7462 everyH376 one in his placeH3027. 4PrepareH6942 ye warH4421 againstH5921 herH5921; ariseH6965, and letH5186 usH5921 goH5927 upH5927 at noonH6672. WoeH188 unto usH5921! for the dayH3117 declineth, for the shadows of the eveningH6153 are stretchedH5186 outH5186. 5AriseH6965, and let usH5927 goH5927 upH5927 by nightH3915, and let usH5927 destroyH7843 herH7843 palacesH759. 6For thusH3541 hath the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 saidH559, Hew ye downH3772 treesH6097, and castH8210 upH5921 a mount againstH5921 JerusalemH3389: this is the cityH5892 to be visitedH6485; sheH1931 is whollyH3605 oppressionH6233 in the midstH7130 of herH3605. 7As a wellH3651 casteth forthH8085 herH5921 watersH4325, soH3651 sheH6440 casteth forthH8085 herH5921 wickednessH7451: violenceH2555 and spoil is heardH8085 in herH5921; beforeH6440 meH6440 continuallyH8548 is sicknessH2483 and woundsH4347. 8Be thou instructedH3256, O JerusalemH3389, lestH6435 my soulH5315 be alienatedH3363 from thee; lestH6435 I makeH7760 thee a desolationH8077, a landH776 notH3808 inhabitedH3427. 9ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, They shall throughly glean the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 as a vineH1612: turnH7725 againH7725 thine handH3027 as a grapegatherer intoH5921 the baskets. 10To whomH4310 shall I speakH1696 and testify, that they may hearH8085? beholdH2009, their earH241 is uncircumcisedH6189, and they cannotH3808 hearken: beholdH2009, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 is becomeH1961 unto them a reproachH2781; they have noH3808 delightH2654 in it. 11Therefore I am fullH4392 of the furyH2534 of the LORDH3068; I am wearyH3811 with holdingH3557 in: pourH8210 it outH8210 uponH5921 the childrenH5768 in the streetH2351, and uponH5921 the assemblyH5475 of youngH970 menH376 togetherH3162: for evenH1571 the husbandH376 with the wifeH802 shall be takenH3920, the agedH2205 with him that is fullH4392 of daysH3117. 12And their housesH1004 shall be turnedH5437 unto othersH312, their fieldsH7704 and their wivesH802 togetherH3162: for I will stretchH5186 outH5186 my handH3027 uponH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, saith the LORDH3068. 13For from the least of them evenH5704 unto the greatestH1419 of them everyH3605 one is given to covetousness; and from the prophetH5030 evenH5704 unto the priestH3548 everyH3605 one dealeth falselyH8267. 14They have healedH7495 also the hurt of my peopleH5971 lightlyH7043, sayingH559, PeaceH7965, peaceH7965; when there is noH369 peaceH7965. 15Were they ashamedH954 when they had committedH6213 abominationH8441? nay, they were notH3808 at allH3045 ashamedH954, neitherH3808 couldH1571 they blushH3637: therefore they shall fallH5307 among them that fallH5307: at the time that I visitH6485 them they shall be castH5307 downH5307, saith the LORDH3068. 16ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, StandH5975 ye in the waysH1870 and seeH7200, and askH7592 for the oldH5769 pathsH5410, whereH335 is the goodH2896 wayH1870, and walkH1870 therein, and ye shall findH4672 restH4771 for your soulsH5315: but they saidH559, WeH5315 will notH3808 walkH1870 therein. 17And I setH6965 watchmenH6822 over youH5921, sayingH559, Hearken to the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782; but they saidH559, We will notH3808 hearken. 18Therefore hearH8085, ye nationsH1471, and knowH3045, O congregationH5712, whatH834 is among them. 19HearH8085, O earthH776: beholdH2009, I will bringH935 evilH7451 uponH5921 this peopleH5971, evenH3588 the fruitH6529 of their thoughtsH4284, becauseH3588 they have notH3808 hearkened unto my wordsH1697; and as for my lawH8451, they have rejectedH3988 it. 20To whatH4100 purposeH2088 cometh there to meH935 frankincenseH3828 from ShebaH7614, and the sweetH6149 caneH7070 from a farH4801 countryH776? your burntH5930 offeringsH5930 are notH3808 acceptableH7522, norH3808 your sacrificesH2077 pleasingH6149 unto meH935. 21Therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, BeholdH2005, I will layH5414 stumblingblocks beforeH413 this peopleH5971: and the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3162 shall stumbleH3782 againstH413 them; the neighbour and his friendH7453 shall perishH6. 22ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, BeholdH2009, a peopleH5971 cometh from the northH6828 countryH776; and a greatH1419 nationH1471 shall be stirredH5782 upH5782 from the uttermost partsH3411 of the earthH776. 23They lay holdH2388 on bowH7198 and spearH3591; they are cruelH394, and have noH3808 mercyH7355; their voiceH6963 roareth like the seaH3220, and they rideH7392 uponH5921 horsesH5483; everyH376 one set in arrayH4421, as a manH376 to the battleH4421, againstH5921 thee, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726. 24WeH8085 have heardH8085 the fameH8089 thereof; our handsH3027 wax feebleH7503: anguishH2427 hath takenH2388 holdH2388 of usH7503, and pangs as of a woman in travail. 25GoH3318 notH408 forthH3318 intoH3318 the fieldH7704, norH408 walkH1870 by the wayH1870; for there is the swordH2719 of the enemyH341, and terrorH4032 on everyH5439 sideH5439. 26O daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, girdH2296 thee with sackclothH8242, and wallowH6428 thyself in ashesH665: makeH6213 thee mourningH60, as for an onlyH3173 sonH3173, mostH8563 bitterH8563 lamentationH4553; for the spoiler shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 uponH5921 usH5921. 27I have madeH5414 thee a tower and a fortressH4013 among my peopleH5971; that thou mayest knowH3045 and tryH974 their wayH1870. 28They are allH3605 grievous revolters, goingH1980 aboutH1980 with slanders; they are brassH5178 and ironH1270: they allH3605 of them deal corruptlyH7843. 29The bellowsH4647 blowH2787 fiercelyH2787; the leadH5777 is consumed of the fireH800: in vainH7723 do they go on refiningH6884; for the wickedH7451 are notH3808 plucked awayH5423. 30Refuse silverH3701 shall menH7121 callH7121 them, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 them.
