rotherham@Jeremiah:16:1 @ And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:

rotherham@Jeremiah:16:2 @ Thou shall not take to thee a wife, Neither shalt thou have sons or daughters, in this place.

rotherham@Jeremiah:16:3 @ For, Thus, saith Yahweh, Concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are being horn in this place, and concerning their mothers who do bear them, and concerning their fathers who do beget them, in this land,

rotherham@Jeremiah:16:4 @ Of deaths from diseases, shall they die, They shall not be lamented, Neither shall they be buried, As heaps of dung on the face of the ground, shall riley serve, Yea by sword and by famine, shall they be consumed, And, their dead bodies shall become, food To the bird of the heavens, and To the beast of the earth.

rotherham@Jeremiah:16:5 @ For, Thus, saith Yahweh Do not thou enter into the house of crying, Neither do thou go to lament, nor do thou bemoan for them, For I have withdrawn my blessing from this people, Declareth Yahweh, Both lovingkindness and compassion.

rotherham@Jeremiah:16:9 @ For, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! causing to cease out of this place, Before your eyes, And in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride,

rotherham@Jeremiah:16:10 @ And it shall be when thou shalt declare to this people, all these words, and they shall say unto thee For what reason, hath Yahweh pronounced against us all this great calamity? Or what is our iniquity, or what our sin, which we have sinned against Yahweh our God?

rotherham@Jeremiah:16:11 @ Then shalt thou say unto them, For that your fathers forsook, me, Declareth Yahweh, And walked after other gods, and served them, and bowed down to them, Whereas me, they forsook And my law, kept they not;

rotherham@Jeremiah:16:15 @ By the life of Yahweh, who hath brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of the North, and out of all the lands whither he had driven them, So will I bring them back upon their own soil, which I gave to their fathers.

rotherham@Jeremiah:16:19 @ O Yahweh, my strength, and my refuge, and my place to fly to, in the day of distress, Unto thee, shall nations come in, out of the ends of the earth, that they may say Surely! Falsehood, did our fathers inherit, Vanity, among whom is none that can profit:

rotherham@Jeremiah:16:20 @ Shall a son of earth, make for himself gods, Seeing that, they, are no-gods?

rotherham@Jeremiah:16:21 @ Therefore behold me! causing them to know, by this stroke, I will cause them to know my hand and my might, That they may know that my name, is Yahweh!

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:1 @ The sin of Judah, is written With a stylus of iron, With the point of a diamond: It is engraved Upon the tablet of their heart, And upon the horns of your altars;

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:2 @ So long as their sons remember their altars, and their Sacred Stems, By the green tree, Upon the high hills,

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:3 @ O my mountain in the field Thy substance all thy treasures, for a prey, will I give: Thy high places for sin, within all thy bounds.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:4 @ So shalt thou even of thyself, suffer to rest the inheritance which I gave thee, Seeing that I will cause thee to serve thine enemies, in the land which thou knowest not; For, a fire, have ye kindled in mine anger, Unto times age-abiding, shall it burn.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:5 @ Thus, saith Yahweh Accursed is the man Who trusteth in a son of earth, And hath made flesh his arm, And whose heart from Yahweh, turneth aside:

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:6 @ Therefore shall he become as a shrub in the waste plain, Neither shall he perceive when good cometh, But shall inhabit Parched places in a wilderness, A land of salt that cannot he dwelt in.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:7 @ Blessed is the man Who trusteth in Yahweh, To whom Yahweh is his ground of confidence;

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:8 @ For he shall become like a tree planted by waters, And, by a stream, shall he send out his roots, Neither shall he perceive when heat cometh, But, his leaf shall continue green: Even in a year of dearth, shall he not be anxious, Neither shall he cease from hearing fruit.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:9 @ Deceitful is the heart above all things And, dangerously wayward, Who can know it?
