akjv - Jeremiah:16-20

akjv@Jeremiah:16:1 @ The word of the LORD came also to me, saying,

akjv@Jeremiah:16:2 @ You shall not take you a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters in this place.

akjv@Jeremiah:16:3 @ For thus said the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bore them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;

akjv@Jeremiah:16:4 @ They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung on the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcasses shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

akjv@Jeremiah:16:5 @ For thus said the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, said the LORD, even loving kindness and mercies.

akjv@Jeremiah:16:6 @ Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:

akjv@Jeremiah:16:7 @ Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

akjv@Jeremiah:16:8 @ You shall not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.

akjv@Jeremiah:16:9 @ For thus said the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.

akjv@Jeremiah:16:10 @ And it shall come to pass, when you shall show this people all these words, and they shall say to you, Why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?

akjv@Jeremiah:16:11 @ Then shall you say to them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, said the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;

akjv@Jeremiah:16:12 @ And you have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, you walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not listen to me:

akjv@Jeremiah:16:13 @ Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that you know not, neither you nor your fathers; and there shall you serve other gods day and night; where I will not show you favor.

akjv@Jeremiah:16:14 @ Therefore, behold, the days come, said the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD lives, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

akjv@Jeremiah:16:15 @ But, The LORD lives, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands where he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.

akjv@Jeremiah:16:16 @ Behold, I will send for many fishers, said the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

akjv@Jeremiah:16:17 @ For my eyes are on all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from my eyes.

akjv@Jeremiah:16:18 @ And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled my inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable things.

akjv@Jeremiah:16:19 @ O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come to you from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

akjv@Jeremiah:16:20 @ Shall a man make gods to himself, and they are no gods?

akjv@Jeremiah:16:21 @ Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:1 @ The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven on the table of their heart, and on the horns of your altars;

akjv@Jeremiah:17:2 @ Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees on the high hills.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:3 @ O my mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures to the spoil, and your high places for sin, throughout all your borders.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:4 @ And you, even yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you know not: for you have kindled a fire in my anger, which shall burn for ever.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:5 @ Thus said the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:6 @ For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:7 @ Blessed is the man that trusts in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:8 @ For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:9 @ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

akjv@Jeremiah:17:10 @ I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:11 @ As the partridge sits on eggs, and hatches them not; so he that gets riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the middle of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:12 @ A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:13 @ O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake you shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:14 @ Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:15 @ Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:16 @ As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow you: neither have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out of my lips was right before you.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:17 @ Be not a terror to me: you are my hope in the day of evil.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:18 @ Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:19 @ Thus said the LORD to me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

akjv@Jeremiah:17:20 @ And say to them, Hear you the word of the LORD, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:

akjv@Jeremiah:17:21 @ Thus said the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

akjv@Jeremiah:17:22 @ Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do you any work, but hallow you the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:23 @ But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:24 @ And it shall come to pass, if you diligently listen to me, said the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;

akjv@Jeremiah:17:25 @ Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on 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 remain for ever.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:26 @ And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, to the house of the LORD.

akjv@Jeremiah:17:27 @ But if you will not listen to me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:1 @ The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

akjv@Jeremiah:18:2 @ Arise, and go down to the potter' house, and there I will cause you to hear my words.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:3 @ Then I went down to the potter' house, and, behold, he worked a work on the wheels.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:4 @ And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:5 @ Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

akjv@Jeremiah:18:6 @ O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? said the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter' hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:7 @ At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

akjv@Jeremiah:18:8 @ If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do to them.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:9 @ And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

akjv@Jeremiah:18:10 @ If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, with which I said I would benefit them.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:11 @ Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return you now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:12 @ And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:13 @ Therefore thus said the LORD; Ask you now among the heathen, who has heard such things: the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:14 @ Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which comes from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?

akjv@Jeremiah:18:15 @ Because my people has forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;

akjv@Jeremiah:18:16 @ To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passes thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:17 @ I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:18 @ Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:19 @ Give heed to me, O LORD, and listen to the voice of them that contend with me.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:20 @ Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have dig a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before you to speak good for them, and to turn away your wrath from them.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:21 @ Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:22 @ Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you shall bring a troop suddenly on them: for they have dig a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.

akjv@Jeremiah:18:23 @ Yet, LORD, you know all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your sight, but let them be overthrown before you; deal thus with them in the time of your anger.

akjv@Jeremiah:19:1 @ Thus said the LORD, Go and get a potter' earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;

akjv@Jeremiah:19:2 @ And go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell you,

akjv@Jeremiah:19:3 @ And say, Hear you the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus said the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil on this place, the which whoever hears, his ears shall tingle.

akjv@Jeremiah:19:4 @ Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;

akjv@Jeremiah:19:5 @ They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind:

akjv@Jeremiah:19:6 @ Therefore, behold, the days come, said the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.

akjv@Jeremiah:19:7 @ And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcasses will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

akjv@Jeremiah:19:8 @ And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passes thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.

akjv@Jeremiah:19:9 @ And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and narrow place, with which their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.

akjv@Jeremiah:19:10 @ Then shall you break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with you,

akjv@Jeremiah:19:11 @ And shall say to them, Thus said the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter' vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.

akjv@Jeremiah:19:12 @ Thus will I do to this place, said the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:

akjv@Jeremiah:19:13 @ And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.

akjv@Jeremiah:19:14 @ Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD' house; and said to all the people,

akjv@Jeremiah:19:15 @ Thus said the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring on this city and on all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:1 @ Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:2 @ Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:3 @ And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah to him, The LORD has not called your name Pashur, but Magormissabib.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:4 @ For thus said the LORD, Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:5 @ Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labors thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:6 @ And you, Pashur, and all that dwell in your house shall go into captivity: and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and shall be buried there, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied lies.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:7 @ O LORD, you have deceived me, and I was deceived; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocks me.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:8 @ For since I spoke, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach to me, and a derision, daily.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:9 @ Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:10 @ For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:11 @ But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:12 @ But, O LORD of hosts, that try the righteous, and see the reins and the heart, let me see your vengeance on them: for to you have I opened my cause.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:13 @ Sing to the LORD, praise you the LORD: for he has delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:14 @ Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bore me be blessed.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:15 @ Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born to you; making him very glad.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:16 @ And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;

akjv@Jeremiah:20:17 @ Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.

akjv@Jeremiah:20:18 @ Why came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

akjv@Jeremiah:21:1 @ The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent to him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
