bes@Jeremiah:2:8 @ The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that held by the law knew me not: the shepherds also sinned against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and went after that which profited not.
bes@Jeremiah:2:9 @ Therefore I will yet plead with you, (note:)Hebrews. and Alex. +’saith the Lord’(:note) and will plead with your children’s children.

bes@Jeremiah:2:23 @ How wilt thou say, I am not polluted, and have not gone after Baal? behold thy ways in the (note:)Hebrews. valley, i. e. probably that of Hinnom(:note) burial-ground, and know what thou hast done: her voice has howled in the evening:
bes@Jeremiah:2:24 @ she has extended her ways over the waters of the desert; she was hurried along by the lusts of her soul; she is given up to them, who will turn her back? none that seek her shall be weary; at the time of her humiliation they shall find her.

bes@Jeremiah:2:28 @ And where are thy gods, which thou madest for thyself? will they arise and save in the time of thine affliction? for according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Juda; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem they sacrificed to Baal.
bes@Jeremiah:2:29 @ Wherefore do ye speak unto me? ye all have been ungodly, and ye all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord.

bes@Jeremiah:2:35 @ Yet thou saidst, I am innocent: only let his wrath be turned away from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, whereas thou sayest, I have not sinned.
bes@Jeremiah:2:36 @ For (note:)Lit. «thou hast exceedingly scorned to repeat’(:note) thou has been so exceedingly contemptuous as to repeat thy ways; but thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assur.

bes@Jeremiah:3:1 @ If a man put away his wife, and she depart from him, and become another man’s, shall she return to him any more at all? shall not that woman be utterly defiled? yet thou hast gone a-whoring with many shepherds, and hast returned to me, saith the Lord.
bes@Jeremiah:3:2 @ Lift up thine eyes to look straight forward, and see where thou hast not been utterly defiled. Thou hast sat for them by the wayside as a deserted crow, and hast defiled the land with thy fornications and thy wickedness.

bes@Jeremiah:7:20 @ Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, my anger and wrath (note:)Gr. is being poured(:note) shall be poured out upon this place, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon every tree of their field, and upon the fruits of the land; and it shall burn, and not be quenched.

bes@Jeremiah:7:29 @ Cut off thine hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on thy lips; for the Lord has reprobated and rejected the generation that does these things.
bes@Jeremiah:7:30 @ For the children of Juda have wrought evil before me, saith the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called, to defile it.
bes@Jeremiah:7:31 @ And they have built the altar of Tapheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them to do, neither did I design it in my heart.
bes@Jeremiah:7:32 @ Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Tapheth, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Tapheth, for want of room.
