lesserot - Jeremiah:15-17

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:1 @ And the Lord said unto me, If Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my favor would not be toward this people: send them away out of my sight, that they may go forth.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:2 @ And it shall come to pass, if they should say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth, that thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, Such as are destined to death, to death; and such as are destined to the sword, to the sword; and such as are destined to famine, to famine; and such as are destined to captivity, to captivity.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:3 @ And I will appoint over them four species, saith the Lord: The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag away, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:4 @ And I will cause them to become a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth, on account of Menasseh the son of Hezekiah the king of Judah, because of what he did in Jerusalem.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:5 @ For who will have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who will condole with thee? or who will go aside to ask after thy welfare?

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:6 @ Thou hast indeed forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward; therefore do I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee: I am weary with repenting.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:7 @ And I winnow them with a fan in the gates of the land: I make childless, I annihilate my people, from their ways they have not turned away.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:8 @ Their widows are more numerous before me than the sand of the seas: I bring unto them, over the mothers of the young men, a waster at noonday; I cause to fall upon her suddenly the enemy with terrors.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:9 @ She that had born seven children fadeth away; she breatheth out her soul, her sun is set while it is yet day; she is made ashamed and put to the blush:and their residue will I give up to the sword before their enemies, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:10 @ Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast born me, a man of contention and a man of strife to the whole land! I have not lent, nor have men lent to me: every one of them curseth me.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:11 @ The Lord said, Truly I will release thee for good; truly I will cause the enemy to meet thee in the time of distress and in the time of affliction.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:12 @ Can iron break in pieces the northern iron and copper?

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:13 @ Thy wealth and thy treasures will I give up as spoil without price, and this for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:14 @ And I will cause them to pass over with thy enemies into a land which thou knowest not; for a fire is kindled in my anger, over you shall it burn.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:15 @ Thou well knowest it, O Lord! remember me and think of me, and avenge me on my persecutors; not according to thy longsuffering act thou for me: know, that for thy sake I have borne shame.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:16 @ When thy words were made manifest to me, then I greedily received them; and thy word became unto me the gladness and joy of my heart; for thy name is called upon me, O Lord of hosts.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:17 @ I sat not in the assembly of the mirthful, and was rejoiced; because of thy inspiration I sat solitary; for thou hadst filled me with indignation.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:18 @ Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable? it refuseth to be healed; it is truly become unto me as a deceptive spring, as waters that are not reliable.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:19 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord, If thou return, and I bring thee back again, then shalt thou stand before me; and if thou bring forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: these shall return unto thee; but thou shalt not return unto them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:20 @ And I will make thee unto this people as a fortified brazen wall; and they will fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:15:21 @ And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the grasp of the tyrants.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:1 @ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:2 @ Thou shalt not take thyself a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:3 @ For thus hath said the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bear them, and concerning their fathers that beget them in this land:

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:4 @ A death through diseases of famine shall they die; they shall not be lamented for; nor shall they be buried; for dung upon the face of the earth shall they be: and by the sword and by famine shall they come to their end; and their carcasses shall be for food unto the fowls of heaven, and unto the beasts of the earth.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:5 @ For thus hath said the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor to condole with them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, yea, kindness and mercy.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:6 @ And both the great and the small shall die in this land, they shall not be buried, and men shall not lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:7 @ Nor shall they break bread for them at their mourning, to comfort them for the dead; nor shall they give them to drink the cup of consolation for their father and for their mother.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:8 @ And into the house of feasting shalt thou not enter, to sit with them, to eat and to drink.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:9 @ For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place before your eyes, and in your days, the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:10 @ And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt tell this people all these words, and they should say unto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord spoken against us all this great evil? and what is our iniquity? and what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:11 @ That thou shalt say unto them, Because your fathers forsook me, saith the Lord, and walked after other gods, and served them, and bowed down unto them, and me they forsook, and my law they kept not;

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:12 @ And ye act worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so as not to hearken unto me;

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:13 @ Therefore will I hurl you out of this land into the land of which ye had no knowledge, neither ye nor your fathers; and ye will serve there other gods by day and by night; so that I will not grant you any favor.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:14 @ Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when it shall not he said any more, As the Lord liveth, who hath brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:15 @ But, As the Lord liveth, who hath brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries whither he had driven them: and I will cause them to return unto their land which I have given unto their fathers.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:16 @ Behold, I will send for many fishermen, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after that will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:17 @ For my eyes are directed upon all their ways, they are not hidden from my face, nor is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:18 @ And will I pay them at the first their twofold iniquity and their sin; because they have defiled my land, filling my heritage with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:19 @ O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge on the day of trouble, unto thee shall nations come from the ends of the earth, and say, Nothing but falsehood had our fathers inherited, vanity, wherein there is no profit.

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:20 @ How? can a man make unto himself gods, which are yet no gods?

lesserot@Jeremiah:16:21 @ Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, at this time will I cause them to know, my hand and my might: and they shall know that my name is The Eternal.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:1 @ The sin of Judah is written down with a pen of iron, with the point of a diamond: it is engraved upon the table of their heart, and on the horns of your altars.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:2 @ Like their remembrance of their children, so are their altars and their groves by green tree upon the high hills.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:3 @ O my mountain in the field, thy substance, all thy treasures will I give up for spoil, thy highplaces with sin, throughout all thy borders.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:4 @ And thou shalt be cast out, yea through thy own guilt, from thy heritage which I have given thee; and I will cause thee to serve thy enemies in a land which thou knowest not; for a fire have ye kindled in my anger, for ever shall it burn.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:5 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and placeth on flesh his dependence, while from the Lord his heart departeth.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:6 @ And he shall be like a lonely tree in the desert, which feeleth not when the good cometh; but abideth in the parched places in the wilderness, in a salty land which cannot be inhabited.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:7 @ Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and the Lord will be his trust.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:8 @ And he shall be like a tree that is planted by the waters, and by a stream spreadeth out its roots, which feeleth not when heat cometh, but its leaf remaineth green; and in a year of drought it is undisturbed by care, and ceaseth not from yielding fruit.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:9 @ Deceitful is the heart above all things, and sick: who can know it?

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:10 @ I the Lord search the heart, probe the reins: yea, to give unto every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:11 @ As a cuckoo that sitteth on eggs which he hath not laid, so is he that get the riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days shall he leave them, and at his end shall be called wicked.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:12 @ A throne of glory, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary!

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:13 @ Hope of Israel, O Lord, all that forsake thee shall be made ashamed, and the backsliders among me shall be written down on the earth; because they have forsaken the fountain of living waters, the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:14 @ Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed: save me, and I shall be saved; for my praise art thou.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:15 @ Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:16 @ As for me, I have not hastened to be a shepherd to follow thee; and the woeful day have I not longed for; thou knowest it: what came out of my lips was known before thee.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:17 @ Be not a terror unto me: thou art my protection on the day of evil.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:18 @ Let those be made ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be made ashamed: let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and strike them with a double breach.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:19 @ Thus said the Lord unto me, Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah usually enter, and by which they usually go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:20 @ And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the Lord, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:21 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Take heed for your souls, and bear no burden on the sabbathday, nor bring it in through the gates of Jerusalem;

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:22 @ Nor shall you carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbathday, and no manner of work shall ye do, but hallow ye the sabbathday, as I have commanded your fathers;

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:23 @ But they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear; and they made their neck stiff, so as not to hearken, and not to receive instruction.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:24 @ And it shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken unto me, saith the Lord, so as to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbathday, and to hallow the sabbathday, so as to do no work thereon:

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:25 @ Then shall there enter through the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall be inhabited for ever.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:26 @ And there shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the environs of Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowlands, and from the mountain, and from the south, those that bring burntofferings, and sacrifices, and meatofferings, and frankincense, and those that bring thanksgivingofferings, unto the house of the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:17:27 @ But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbathday, and not to bear a burden, and to enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbathday: then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

lesserot@Jeremiah:18:1 @ The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
