gltv - Jeremiah:23-25

gltv@Jeremiah:23:1 @ Woe to shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture, says Jehovah.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:2 @ Because of this, so says Jehovah the God of Israel against the shepherds who shepherd My people: You have scattered My flock, and have driven them away, and have not visited them. Behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings, says Jehovah.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:3 @ And I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the lands where I have driven them there, and will bring them again to their fold. And they shall be fruitful and multiply.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:4 @ And I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them. And they will fear no more, nor be terrified; nor will they be missing anything, says Jehovah.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:5 @ Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and act wisely, and shall do justice and righteousness in the earth.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:6 @ In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely. And this is His name by which He shall be called, Jehovah our Righteousness.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:7 @ Behold, so the days come, says Jehovah, that they shall no more say, As Jehovah lives, who brought the sons of Israel up out of the land of Egypt;

gltv@Jeremiah:23:8 @ but, As Jehovah lives, who brought up and led the seed of the house of Israel out of the land of the north, and from all the lands where I have driven them there. And they shall dwell on their own land.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:9 @ My heart within me is broken concerning the prophets; all my bones shake. I am like a drunken man, and like a man overcome by wine, because of Jehovah, and because of the words of His holiness.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:10 @ For the land is full of adulterers. For the land mourns because of a curse. The pastures of the wilderness are dried up. And their course is evil, and their might is not right.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:11 @ For both prophet and priest are ungodly; yea, I have found their evil in My house, says Jehovah.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:12 @ So their way shall be to them as slippery places in the darkness; they shall be driven out and fall by it. For I will bring evil on them, the year of their judgment, says Jehovah.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:13 @ And I have seen frivolity among the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal and caused My people Israel to go astray.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:14 @ I have also seen a horrible thing among the prophets of Jerusalem; they commit adultery and walk in falsehood. And they make the hands of evildoers strong, so that not a man returns from his evil. They are all of them like Sodom to Me, and her inhabitants like Gomorrah.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:15 @ So Jehovah of Hosts says this concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them wormwood, and make them drink poisonous water, for ungodliness has gone forth from the prophets of Jerusalem into all the land.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:16 @ So says Jehovah of hosts, do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you; they make you vain; they speak a vision of their own heart, not out of the mouth of Jehovah.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:17 @ They say to those who despise Me, Jehovah has said, You shall have peace. And they say to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart, Evil shall not come on you.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:18 @ For who has stood in the counsel of Jehovah, and has seen and heard His word? Who has listened to His word and heard?

gltv@Jeremiah:23:19 @ Behold, the tempest of Jehovah has gone forth in fury, even a whirling tempest. It will whirl on the head of the wicked.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:20 @ The anger of Jehovah shall not turn back until He has executed, and until He has set up the purposes of His heart. In latter days you shall understand it perfectly.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:21 @ I have not sent the prophets, yet they ran; I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:22 @ But if they had stood in My counsel and had caused My people to hear My words, then they would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:23 @ Am I a God near by, says Jehovah, and not a God from afar?

gltv@Jeremiah:23:24 @ Or can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I do not see him, says Jehovah? Do I not fill the heavens and the earth, says Jehovah?

gltv@Jeremiah:23:25 @ I have heard what the prophets said, those who prophesy lies in My name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:26 @ How long is this there in the heart of the prophets, the prophets of lies; yea, the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?

gltv@Jeremiah:23:27 @ They plot to cause My people to forget My name by their dreams which they tell, each one to his neighbor, even as their fathers have forgotten My name for Baal.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:28 @ The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream. And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully. What has the straw to do with the grain, says Jehovah?

gltv@Jeremiah:23:29 @ Is not My word thus like fire, says Jehovah, and like a hammer which breaks a rock in pieces?

gltv@Jeremiah:23:30 @ Then, Jehovah says, Behold, I am against the prophets who steal My words, each one from his neighbor.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:31 @ Jehovah says, Behold, I am against the prophets who use their tongues and say, He says.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:32 @ Jehovah says, Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams, and tell them, and cause My people to go astray by their lies, and by their frivolity. Yet I did not send them nor command them. And they will not profit this people at all, says Jehovah.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:33 @ And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of Jehovah? You shall then say to them, What burden? I will even forsake you, says Jehovah.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:34 @ And the prophet, and the priest, and the people who shall say, The burden of Jehovah, I will even punish that man and his house.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:35 @ And you shall say each one to his neighbor, and each one to his brother, What has Jehovah answered? And what has Jehovah spoken?

gltv@Jeremiah:23:36 @ And you shall not mention the burden of Jehovah again, for each man's word shall be his burden. For you have perverted the words of the living God, of Jehovah of Hosts, our God.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:37 @ So you shall say to the prophet, What has Jehovah answered you? And what has Jehovah spoken?

gltv@Jeremiah:23:38 @ But if you say, The burden of Jehovah, therefore so says Jehovah: Because you say this word, the burden of Jehovah; and I have sent to you saying, You shall not say, The burden of Jehovah;

gltv@Jeremiah:23:39 @ therefore, behold! I, even I will utterly forget you and cast off you and the city that I gave to you and your fathers, away from My face.

gltv@Jeremiah:23:40 @ And I will bring an everlasting reproach and never ending shame on you, which shall not be forgotten.

gltv@Jeremiah:24:1 @ Jehovah made me see, and, behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of Jehovah, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had exiled Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the rulers of Judah, and the craftsmen, and the smiths from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

gltv@Jeremiah:24:2 @ One basket had very good figs, like first ripe figs. And the other basket had very bad figs which could not be eaten from their badness.

gltv@Jeremiah:24:3 @ And Jehovah said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs. The good figs are very good, and the bad are very bad, so that they cannot be eaten from their badness.

gltv@Jeremiah:24:4 @ Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

gltv@Jeremiah:24:5 @ So says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Like these good figs, so I will acknowledge the exiles of Judah whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for good.

gltv@Jeremiah:24:6 @ For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land. And I will build them and not tear down; and I will plant them, and will not pluck up.

gltv@Jeremiah:24:7 @ And I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am Jehovah. And they shall be My people, and I will be their God. For they shall return to Me with their whole heart.

gltv@Jeremiah:24:8 @ And like the bad figs which cannot be eaten from badness, so says Jehovah: So I shall make Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his rulers, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt;

gltv@Jeremiah:24:9 @ I will even make them a horror among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, for a reproach, and a proverb, a gibe, and a curse, there in all places where I will drive them.

gltv@Jeremiah:24:10 @ And I will send the sword, the famine, and the plague among them until they are destroyed from on the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:1 @ The word that was to concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah. It was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:2 @ This the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah and to all the residents of Jerusalem, saying,

gltv@Jeremiah:25:3 @ From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, this twenty three years, the word of Jehovah has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:4 @ And Jehovah has sent to you all His servants the prophets, rising early and sending, but you have not listened nor bowed your ear to hear,

gltv@Jeremiah:25:5 @ saying, Now turn each one from his evil way and from the evil of your doings, and live on the land which Jehovah has given to you and to your fathers from forever even to forever.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:6 @ And do not go after other gods to serve them and to worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no harm.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:7 @ Yet you have not listened to Me, says Jehovah, so that you might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands, for harm to you.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:8 @ So Jehovah of hosts says this: Because you have not obeyed My words,

gltv@Jeremiah:25:9 @ behold! I will send and take all the families of the north, says Jehovah, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant; and I will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations all around. And I will completely destroy them, and make them a horror, and a hissing, and everlasting ruins.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:10 @ And I will take from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:11 @ And this whole land shall be a waste and a horror; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:12 @ And it shall be, when seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, and the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity, says Jehovah; and I will make it everlasting ruins.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:13 @ And I will bring on that land all My words which I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book which has prophesied against all the nations.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:14 @ For many nations and great kings will lay service on them, even they. And I will repay them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their own hands.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:15 @ For so says Jehovah, the God of Israel, to me. Take the wine cup of this wrath from My hand and cause all the nations to whom I shall send you to drink it.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:16 @ And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be maddened, because of the sword that I will send among them.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:17 @ Then I took the cup from Jehovah's hand and made all the nations drink, those to whom Jehovah had sent me:

gltv@Jeremiah:25:18 @ Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and their kings, and their rulers, to make them a ruin, a horror, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;

gltv@Jeremiah:25:19 @ Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his servants, and his rulers, and all his people;

gltv@Jeremiah:25:20 @ and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Askelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,

gltv@Jeremiah:25:21 @ Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,

gltv@Jeremiah:25:22 @ and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the coastal kings beyond the sea,

gltv@Jeremiah:25:23 @ Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who cut the corners of their beards,

gltv@Jeremiah:25:24 @ and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the desert,

gltv@Jeremiah:25:25 @ and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media,

gltv@Jeremiah:25:26 @ and all the kings of the north, far and near, each one to his brother, and all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:27 @ So you shall say to them, So says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be drunk, and vomit, and fall, and do not rise up, because of the sword which I will send among you.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:28 @ And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, So says Jehovah of Hosts, You shall certainly drink.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:29 @ For, behold, I begin to bring evil on the city on which is called My name, and shall you be found entirely without guilt? You shall not be without guilt. For I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, says Jehovah of Hosts.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:30 @ And now you prophesy against them all these words, and say to them, Jehovah shall roar from on high and utter His voice from His holy habitation; He shall mightily roar over His dwelling place. He answers with a shout, like those who tread out the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:31 @ A roaring will go to the ends of the earth, for Jehovah has a controversy with the nations. He will enter into judgment with all flesh; He will give the wicked to the sword, says Jehovah.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:32 @ So says Jehovah of Hosts, Behold, evil is going from nation to nation, and a great tempest shall be stirred up from the corners of the earth.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:33 @ And the slain of Jehovah shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They shall not be mourned, nor gathered, nor buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the earth.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:34 @ Howl, O shepherds, and cry, and roll, O leaders of the flock! For the days of your slaughter and of your scatterings are fulfilled, and you shall fall like a desirable vessel.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:35 @ And refuge has perished from the shepherds, and escape from the leaders of the flock.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:36 @ The sound of the cry of the shepherds, and the howling from the leaders of the flock will be heard. For Jehovah is spoiling their pasture.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:37 @ And the peaceful folds are devastated, because of the glow of the anger of Jehovah.

gltv@Jeremiah:25:38 @ Like the young lion, He has left His den; for their land is a waste because of the glow of the oppressor, and because of His glowing anger

gltv@Jeremiah:26:1 @ In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from Jehovah, saying,
