Revised Version 1895
1The wordH1697 that cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559, 2StandH5975 in the gateH8179 of the LORD’SH3068 houseH1004, and proclaimH7121 there this wordH1697, and sayH559, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, allH3605 ye of JudahH3063, that enterH935 in at theseH428 gatesH8179 to worshipH7812 the LORDH3068. 3ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, AmendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611, and I will cause youH853 to dwellH7931 in this placeH4725. 4TrustH982 ye notH408 in lyingH8267 wordsH1697, sayingH559, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, are theseH1992. 5For ifH518 ye throughly amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611; ifH518 ye throughly execute judgmentH4941 betweenH996 a manH376 and his neighbour; 6if ye oppressH6231 notH3808 the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, and shedH8210 notH3808 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725, neitherH3808 walk afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to your own hurt: 7then will I causeH5414 youH834 to dwellH7931 in this placeH4725, in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1, from of oldH5769 evenH5704 for evermore. 8BeholdH2009, ye trustH982 in lyingH8267 wordsH1697, that cannot profitH3276. 9Will ye stealH1589, murderH7523, and commitH5003 adulteryH5003, and swearH7650 falselyH8267, and burnH6999 incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, and walkH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 whomH834 ye have notH3808 knownH3045, 10and comeH935 and standH5975 beforeH6440 meH6440 in this houseH1004, whichH834 is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, and sayH559, WeH834 are deliveredH5337; that ye may doH6213 allH3605 theseH428 abominationsH8441. 11Is this houseH1004, whichH834 is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, becomeH1961 a denH4631 of robbersH6530 in your eyesH5869? BeholdH2009, I, evenH1571 I, have seenH7200 it, saith the LORDH3068. 12But goH4994 ye nowH4994 unto my placeH4725 whichH834 was in ShilohH7887, whereH834 I causedH834 my nameH8034 to dwellH7931 at the firstH7223, and seeH7200 whatH834 I didH6213 to it for the wickednessH7451 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 13And nowH6258, becauseH3282 ye have doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 worksH4639, saith the LORDH3068, and I spake unto youH3605, risingH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 and speakingH1696, but ye heardH8085 notH3808; and I calledH7121 youH3605, but ye answeredH6030 notH3808: 14therefore will I doH6213 unto the houseH1004, whichH834 is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, whereinH834 ye trustH982, and unto the placeH4725 whichH834 I gaveH5414 to youH859 and to your fathersH1, as I have doneH6213 to ShilohH7887. 15And I will castH7993 youH834 outH6440 of my sightH6440, as I have castH7993 outH6440 allH3605 your brethrenH251, evenH853 the wholeH3605 seedH2233 of EphraimH669. 16Therefore prayH6419 notH369 thou for this peopleH5971, neitherH369 liftH5375 upH5375 cryH7440 norH408 prayerH8605 for them, neitherH369 makeH8085 intercession to meH1157: for I will notH369 hearH8085 thee. 17Seest thou notH369 whatH4100 they doH6213 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389? 18The childrenH1121 gatherH3950 woodH6086, and the fathersH1 kindleH1197 the fireH784, and the womenH802 kneadH3888 the doughH1217, to makeH6213 cakesH3561 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pourH5258 outH853 drink offerings unto otherH312 godsH430, that they may provokeH3707 meH3707 to angerH3707. 19Do they provokeH3707 meH6440 to angerH3707? saith the LORDH3068; do they notH3808 provokeH3707 themselvesH1992, to the confusion of their ownH6440 facesH6440? 20Therefore thusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: BeholdH2009, mine angerH639 and my furyH2534 shall be pouredH5413 outH5921 uponH5921 this placeH4725, uponH5921 manH120, and uponH5921 beastH929, and uponH5921 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704, and uponH5921 the fruitH6529 of the groundH127; and it shall burnH1197, and shall notH3808 be quenchedH3518. 21ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: AddH5595 your burntH5930 offeringsH3068 unto your sacrificesH2077, and eatH398 ye fleshH1320. 22For I spake notH3808 unto your fathersH1, norH3808 commandedH6680 them in the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, concerning burntH5930 offeringsH5930 or sacrificesH2077: 23but this thingH1697 I commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, Hearken unto my voiceH6963, and I will be your GodH430, and ye shall be my peopleH5971: and walkH1980 ye in allH3605 the wayH1870 that I commandH6680 youH859, that it may be wellH3190 with youH859. 24But they hearkened notH3808, norH3808 inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walked in their ownH1961 counselsH4156 and in the stubbornnessH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820, and wentH6440 backwardH268 and notH3808 forwardH6440. 25SinceH4480 the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 cameH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto this dayH3117, I have sentH7971 unto youH834 allH3605 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, dailyH3117 risingH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them: 26yet they hearkened notH3808 unto meH413, norH3808 inclinedH5186 their earH241, but madeH7185 their neckH6203 stiff: they didH3808 worse thanH3808 their fathersH1. 27And thou shalt speakH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 unto them; but they will notH3808 hearken to thee: thou shalt also callH7121 unto them; but they will notH3808 answerH6030 thee. 28And thou shalt sayH559 unto them, This is the nationH1471 that hath notH3808 hearkened to the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, norH3808 receivedH3947 instructionH4148: truthH530 is perishedH6, and is cutH3772 offH3772 from their mouthH6310. 29CutH1494 offH5921 thine hairH1494, O Jerusalem, and castH7993 it awayH7993, and takeH5375 upH5375 a lamentationH7015 on the bareH8205 heightsH8205; for the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 and forsakenH5203 the generationH1755 of his wrathH5678. 30For the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 have doneH6213 that whichH834 is evilH7451 in my sightH5869, saith the LORDH3068: they have setH7760 their abominationsH8251 in the houseH1004 whichH834 is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, to defileH2930 it. 31And they have builtH1129 the highH1116 placesH1116 of TophethH8612, whichH834 is in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, to burnH8313 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 in the fireH784; whichH834 I commandedH6680 notH3808, neitherH3808 cameH5927 it intoH5921 my mindH3820. 32Therefore, beholdH2009, the daysH3117 comeH935, saith the LORDH3068, that it shall noH3808 moreH5750 be calledH559 TophethH8612, norH3808 The valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, but The valleyH1516 of SlaughterH2028: for they shall buryH6912 in TophethH8612, till there be noH3808 placeH4725 to buryH6912. 33And the carcases of this peopleH5971 shall be meat for the fowls of the heavenH8064, and for the beastsH929 of the earthH776; and noneH369 shall fray them awayH2729. 34Then will I causeH1961 to ceaseH7673 from the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and from the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, the voiceH6963 of mirthH8057 and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroom and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618: for the landH776 shall becomeH1961 a wasteH2723.
