jps@Jeremiah:2:6 @ Neither said they: 'Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt; that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?'

jps@Jeremiah:2:20 @ For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands, and thou saidst: 'I will not transgress'; upon every high hill and under every leafy tree thou didst recline, playing the harlot.

jps@Jeremiah:2:27 @ Who say to a stock: 'Thou art my father', and to a stone: 'Thou hast brought us forth', for they have turned their back unto Me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say: 'Arise, and save us.'
jps@Jeremiah:2:28 @ But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? Let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble; for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
jps@Jeremiah:2:29 @ Wherefore will ye contend with Me? Ye all have transgressed against Me, saith the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:2:32 @ Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet My people have forgotten Me days without number.
jps@Jeremiah:2:33 @ How trimmest thou thy way to seek love! Therefore--even the wicked women hast thou taught thy ways;

jps@Jeremiah:2:35 @ Thou saidst: 'I am innocent; surely His anger is turned away from me'--behold, I will enter into judgment with thee, because thou sayest: 'I have not sinned.'
jps@Jeremiah:2:36 @ How greatly dost thou cheapen thyself to change thy way? Thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt also, as thou wast ashamed of Asshur.
jps@Jeremiah:2:37 @ From him also shalt thou go forth, with thy hands upon thy head; for the LORD hath rejected them in whom thou didst trust, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
jps@Jeremiah:3:1 @ saying: If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, may he return unto her again? Will not that land be greatly polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; and wouldest thou yet return to Me? saith the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:3:2 @ Lift up thine eyes unto the high hills, and see: Where hast thou not been lain with? By the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy harlotries and with thy wickedness.
jps@Jeremiah:3:3 @ Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there hath been no latter rain; yet thou hadst a harlot's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
jps@Jeremiah:3:4 @ Didst thou not just now cry unto Me: 'My father, Thou art the friend of my youth.
jps@Jeremiah:3:5 @ Will He bear grudge for ever? Will He keep it to the end?' Behold, thou hast spoken, but hast done evil things, and hast had thy way.
jps@Jeremiah:3:6 @ And the LORD said unto me in the days of Josiah the king: 'Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel did? she went up upon every high mountain and under every leafy tree, and there played the harlot.
jps@Jeremiah:3:7 @ And I said: After she hath done all these things, she will return unto me; but she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
jps@Jeremiah:3:8 @ And I saw, when, forasmuch as backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement, that yet treacherous Judah her sister feared not; but she also went and played the harlot;
jps@Jeremiah:3:9 @ and it came to pass through the lightness of her harlotry, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks;
jps@Jeremiah:3:10 @ and yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto Me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD--
jps@Jeremiah:3:11 @ even the LORD said unto me--backsliding Israel hath proved herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
jps@Jeremiah:3:12 @ Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say: Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; I will not frown upon you; for I am merciful, saith the LORD, I will not bear grudge for ever.
jps@Jeremiah:3:13 @ Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every leafy tree, and ye have not hearkened to My voice, saith the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:3:14 @ Return, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am a lord unto you, and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion;
jps@Jeremiah:3:15 @ and I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
jps@Jeremiah:3:16 @ And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more: The ark of the covenant of the LORD; neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they make mention of it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it be made any more.
jps@Jeremiah:3:17 @ At that time they shall call Jerusalem The throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem; neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
jps@Jeremiah:3:18 @ In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.'
jps@Jeremiah:3:19 @ But I said: 'How would I put thee among the sons, and give thee a pleasant land, the goodliest heritage of the nations!' And I said: 'Thou shalt call Me, My father; and shalt not turn away from following Me.'
jps@Jeremiah:3:20 @ Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:3:21 @ Hark! upon the high hills is heard the suppliant weeping of the children of Israel; for that they have perverted their way, they have forgotten the LORD their God.
jps@Jeremiah:3:22 @ Return, ye backsliding children, I will heal your backslidings.-- 'Here we are, we are come unto Thee; for Thou art the LORD our God.
jps@Jeremiah:3:23 @ Truly vain have proved the hills, the uproar on the mountains; truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
jps@Jeremiah:3:24 @ But the shameful thing hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
jps@Jeremiah:3:25 @ Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us; for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day; and we have not hearkened to the voice of the LORD our God.'
jps@Jeremiah:4:1 @ If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, yea, return unto Me; and if thou wilt put away thy detestable things out of My sight, and wilt not waver;
jps@Jeremiah:4:2 @ And wilt swear: 'As the LORD liveth' in truth, in justice, and in righteousness; then shall the nations bless themselves by Him, and in Him shall they glory.
jps@Jeremiah:4:3 @ For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem: Break up for you a fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
jps@Jeremiah:4:4 @ Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest My fury go forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
jps@Jeremiah:4:5 @ Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem, and say: 'Blow ye the horn in the land'; cry aloud and say: 'Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities.'
jps@Jeremiah:4:6 @ Set up a standard toward Zion; put yourselves under covert, stay not; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
jps@Jeremiah:4:7 @ A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations is set out, gone forth from his place; to make thy land desolate, that thy cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.
jps@Jeremiah:4:8 @ For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
jps@Jeremiah:4:9 @ And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall fail, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
jps@Jeremiah:4:10 @ Then said I: 'Ah, Lord GOD! surely Thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying: Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.'
jps@Jeremiah:4:11 @ At that time shall it be said of this people and of Jerusalem; A hot wind of the high hills in the wilderness toward the daughter of My people, not to fan, nor to cleanse;
jps@Jeremiah:4:12 @ A wind too strong for this shall come for Me; now will I also utter judgments against them.
jps@Jeremiah:4:13 @ Behold, he cometh up as clouds, and his chariots are as the whirlwind; his horses are swifter than eagles.--'Woe unto us! for we are undone.'--
jps@Jeremiah:4:14 @ O Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy baleful thoughts lodge within thee?
jps@Jeremiah:4:15 @ For hark! one declareth from Dan, and announceth calamity from the hills of Ephraim:
jps@Jeremiah:4:16 @ 'Make ye mention to the nations: Behold--publish concerning Jerusalem--watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.'
jps@Jeremiah:4:17 @ As keepers of a field are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against Me, saith the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:4:18 @ Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness; yea, it is bitter, yea, it reacheth unto thy heart.
jps@Jeremiah:4:19 @ My bowels, my bowels! I writhe in pain! The chambers of my heart! My heart moaneth within me! I cannot hold my peace! because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the horn, the alarm of war.
jps@Jeremiah:4:20 @ Destruction followeth upon destruction, for the whole land is spoiled; suddenly are my tents spoiled, my curtains in a moment.
jps@Jeremiah:4:21 @ How long shall I see the standard, shall I hear the sound of the horn?
jps@Jeremiah:4:22 @ For My people is foolish, they know Me not; they are sottish children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
jps@Jeremiah:4:23 @ I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
jps@Jeremiah:4:24 @ I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved to and fro.
jps@Jeremiah:4:25 @ I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
jps@Jeremiah:4:26 @ I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and before His fierce anger.
jps@Jeremiah:4:27 @ For thus saith the LORD: The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
jps@Jeremiah:4:28 @ For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.
jps@Jeremiah:4:29 @ For the noise of the horsemen and bowmen the whole city fleeth; they go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks; every city is forsaken, and not a man dwelleth therein.
jps@Jeremiah:4:30 @ And thou, that art spoiled, what doest thou, that thou clothest thyself with scarlet, that thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, that thou enlargest thine eyes with paint? In vain dost thou make thyself fair; thy lovers despise thee, they seek thy life.
jps@Jeremiah:4:31 @ For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that gaspeth for breath, that spreadeth her hands: 'Woe is me, now! for my soul fainteth before the murderers.'
jps@Jeremiah:5:1 @ Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh truth; and I will pardon her.
jps@Jeremiah:5:2 @ And though they say: 'As the LORD liveth', surely they swear falsely.
jps@Jeremiah:5:3 @ O LORD, are not Thine eyes upon truth? Thou hast stricken them, but they were not affected; Thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction; they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
jps@Jeremiah:5:4 @ And I said: 'Surely these are poor, they are foolish, for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the ordinance of their God;
jps@Jeremiah:5:5 @ I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they know the way of the LORD, and the ordinance of their God.' But these had altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bands.
jps@Jeremiah:5:6 @ Wherefore a lion out of the forest doth slay them, a wolf of the deserts doth spoil them, a leopard watcheth over their cities, every one that goeth out thence is torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, their backslidings are increased.
jps@Jeremiah:5:7 @ Wherefore should I pardon thee? The children have forsaken Me, and sworn by no-gods; and when I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the harlots' houses.
jps@Jeremiah:5:8 @ They are become as well-fed horses, lusty stallions; every one neigheth after his neighbour's wife.
jps@Jeremiah:5:9 @ Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD; and shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
jps@Jeremiah:5:10 @ Go ye up into her rows, and destroy, but make not a full end; take away her shoots; for they are not the LORD'S.
jps@Jeremiah:5:11 @ For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against Me, saith the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:5:12 @ They have belied the LORD, and said: 'It is not He, neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine;
jps@Jeremiah:5:13 @ And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them; thus be it done unto them.'
jps@Jeremiah:5:14 @ Wherefore thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts: Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make My words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
jps@Jeremiah:5:15 @ Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD; it is an enduring nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
jps@Jeremiah:5:16 @ Their quiver is an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
jps@Jeremiah:5:17 @ And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, they shall eat up thy sons and thy daughters, they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds, they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall batter thy fortified cities, wherein thou trusteth, with the sword.
jps@Jeremiah:5:18 @ But even in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
jps@Jeremiah:5:19 @ And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say: 'Wherefore hath the LORD our God done all these things unto us?' then shalt Thou say unto them: 'Like as ye have forsaken Me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.'
jps@Jeremiah:5:20 @ Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, and announce it in Judah, saying:
jps@Jeremiah:5:21 @ Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding, that have eyes, and see not, that have ears, and hear not:
jps@Jeremiah:5:22 @ Fear ye not Me? saith the LORD; Will ye not tremble at My presence? Who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, an everlasting ordinance, which it cannot pass; and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it.
jps@Jeremiah:5:23 @ But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted, and gone.
jps@Jeremiah:5:24 @ Neither say they in their heart: 'Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth the former rain, and the latter in due season; that keepeth for us the appointed weeks of the harvest.'
jps@Jeremiah:5:25 @ Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good from you.
jps@Jeremiah:5:26 @ For among My people are found wicked men; they pry, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.
jps@Jeremiah:5:27 @ As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit; therefore they are become great, and waxen rich;
jps@Jeremiah:5:28 @ They are waxen fat, they are become sleek; yea, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they might make it to prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
jps@Jeremiah:5:29 @ Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD; Shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
jps@Jeremiah:5:30 @ An appalling and horrible thing is come to pass in the land:
jps@Jeremiah:5:31 @ The prophets prophesy in the service of falsehood, and the priests bear rule at their beck; and My people love to have it so; What then will ye do in the end thereof?
jps@Jeremiah:6:1 @ Put yourselves under covert, ye children of Benjamin, away from the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the horn in Tekoa, and set up a signal on Beth-cherem; for evil looketh forth from the north, and a great destruction.
jps@Jeremiah:6:2 @ The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.
jps@Jeremiah:6:3 @ Shepherds with their flocks come unto her; they pitch their tents against her round about; they feed bare every one what is nigh at hand.
jps@Jeremiah:6:4 @ 'Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon!' 'Woe unto us! for the day declineth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out!'
jps@Jeremiah:6:5 @ 'Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.'
jps@Jeremiah:6:6 @ For thus hath the LORD of hosts said: hew ye down her trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem; this is the city to be punished; everywhere there is oppression in the midst of her.
jps@Jeremiah:6:7 @ As a cistern welleth with her waters, so she welleth with her wickedness; violence and spoil is heard in her; before Me continually is sickness and wounds.
jps@Jeremiah:6:8 @ Be thou corrected, O Jerusalem, lest My soul be alienated from thee, lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
jps@Jeremiah:6:9 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts: They shall thoroughly glean as a vine the remnant of Israel; turn again thy hand as a grape- gatherer upon the shoots.
jps@Jeremiah:6:10 @ To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is dull, and they cannot attend; behold, the word of the LORD is become unto them a reproach, they have no delight in it.
jps@Jeremiah:6:11 @ Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD, I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the babes in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
jps@Jeremiah:6:12 @ And their houses shall be turned unto others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out My hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:6:13 @ For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is greedy for gain; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
jps@Jeremiah:6:14 @ They have healed also the hurt of My people lightly, saying: 'Peace, peace', when there is no peace.
jps@Jeremiah:6:15 @ They shall be put to shame because they have committed abomination; yea, they are not at all ashamed, neither know they how to blush; therefore they shall fall among them that fall, at the time that I punish them they shall stumble, saith the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:6:16 @ Thus saith the LORD: Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said: 'We will not walk therein.'
jps@Jeremiah:6:17 @ And I set watchmen over you: 'Attend to the sound of the horn', but they said: 'We will not attend.'
jps@Jeremiah:6:18 @ Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is against them.
jps@Jeremiah:6:19 @ Hear, O earth: Behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not attended unto My words, and as for My teaching, they have rejected it.
jps@Jeremiah:6:20 @ To what purpose is to Me the frankincense that cometh from Sheba, and the sweet cane, from a far country? Your burnt- offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto Me.
jps@Jeremiah:6:21 @ Therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them, the neighbour and his friend, and they shall perish.
jps@Jeremiah:6:22 @ Thus saith the LORD: Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be roused from the uttermost parts of the earth.
jps@Jeremiah:6:23 @ They lay hold on bow and spear, they are cruel, and have no compassion; their voice is like the roaring sea, and they ride upon horses; set in array, as a man for war, against thee, O daughter of Zion.
jps@Jeremiah:6:24 @ 'We have heard the fame thereof, our hands wax feeble, anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.'
jps@Jeremiah:6:25 @ Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for there is the sword of the enemy, and terror on every side.
jps@Jeremiah:6:26 @ O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes; make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
jps@Jeremiah:6:27 @ I have made thee a tower and a fortress among My people; that thou mayest know and try their way.
jps@Jeremiah:6:28 @ They are all grievous revolters, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron; they all of them deal corruptly.
jps@Jeremiah:6:29 @ The bellows blow fiercely, the lead is consumed of the fire; in vain doth the founder refine, for the wicked are not separated.
jps@Jeremiah:6:30 @ Refuse silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
jps@Jeremiah:7:1 @ The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:
jps@Jeremiah:7:2 @ Stand in the gate of the LORD'S house, and proclaim there this word, and say: Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:7:3 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
jps@Jeremiah:7:4 @ Trust ye not in lying words, saying: 'The temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, are these.'
jps@Jeremiah:7:5 @ Nay, but if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbour;
jps@Jeremiah:7:6 @ if ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt;
jps@Jeremiah:7:7 @ then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
jps@Jeremiah:7:8 @ Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
jps@Jeremiah:7:9 @ Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and offer unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye have not known,
jps@Jeremiah:7:10 @ and come and stand before Me in this house, whereupon My name is called, and say: 'We are delivered', that ye may do all these abominations?
jps@Jeremiah:7:11 @ Is this house, whereupon My name is called, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, saith the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:7:12 @ For go ye now unto My place which was in Shiloh, where I caused My name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of My people Israel.
jps@Jeremiah:7:13 @ And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spoke unto you, speaking betimes and often, but ye heard not, and I called you, but ye answered not;
jps@Jeremiah:7:14 @ therefore will I do unto the house, whereupon My name is called, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
jps@Jeremiah:7:15 @ And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
jps@Jeremiah:7:16 @ Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to Me; for I will not hear thee.
jps@Jeremiah:7:17 @ Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
jps@Jeremiah:7:18 @ The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke Me.
jps@Jeremiah:7:19 @ Do they provoke Me? saith the LORD; do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?
jps@Jeremiah:7:20 @ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, Mine anger and My fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the land; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
jps@Jeremiah:7:21 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh.
jps@Jeremiah:7:22 @ For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices;
jps@Jeremiah:7:23 @ but this thing I commanded them, saying: 'Hearken unto My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people; and walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.'
jps@Jeremiah:7:24 @ But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels, even in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward,
jps@Jeremiah:7:25 @ even since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day; and though I have sent unto you all My servants the prophets, sending them daily betimes and often,
jps@Jeremiah:7:26 @ yet they hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff; they did worse than their fathers.
jps@Jeremiah:7:27 @ And thou shalt speak all these words unto them, but they will not hearken to thee; thou shalt also call unto them, but they will not answer thee.
jps@Jeremiah:7:28 @ Therefore thou shalt say unto them: This is the nation that hath not hearkened to the voice of the LORD their God, nor received correction; faithfulness is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
jps@Jeremiah:7:29 @ Cut off thy hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the high hills; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.
jps@Jeremiah:7:30 @ For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight, saith the LORD; they have set their detestable things in the house whereon My name is called, to defile it.
jps@Jeremiah:7:31 @ And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into My mind.
jps@Jeremiah:7:32 @ Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter; for they shall bury in Topheth, for lack of room.
jps@Jeremiah:7:33 @ And the carcasses of this people shall be food for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten them away.
jps@Jeremiah:7:34 @ Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall be desolate.
jps@Jeremiah:8:1 @ At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
jps@Jeremiah:8:2 @ and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped; they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
jps@Jeremiah:8:3 @ And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
jps@Jeremiah:8:4 @ Moreover thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the LORD: Do men fall, and not rise up again? Doth one turn away, and not return?
jps@Jeremiah:8:5 @ Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
jps@Jeremiah:8:6 @ I attended and listened, but they spoke not aright; no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying: 'What have I done?' Every one turneth away in his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle.
jps@Jeremiah:8:7 @ Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but My people know not the ordinance of the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:8:8 @ How do ye say: 'We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us'? Lo, certainly in vain hath wrought the vain pen of the scribes.
jps@Jeremiah:8:9 @ The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken; Lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
jps@Jeremiah:8:10 @ Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall possess them; for from the least even unto the greatest every one is greedy for gain, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
jps@Jeremiah:8:11 @ And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people lightly, saying: 'Peace, peace', when there is no peace.
jps@Jeremiah:8:12 @ They shall be put to shame because they have committed abomination; yea, they are not at all ashamed, neither know they how to blush; therefore shall they fall among them that fall, in the time of their visitation they shall stumble, saith the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:8:13 @ I will utterly consume them, saith the LORD; there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is faded; and I gave them that which they transgress.
jps@Jeremiah:8:14 @ 'Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be cut off there; for the LORD our God hath cut us off, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:8:15 @ We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold terror!'
jps@Jeremiah:8:16 @ The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan; at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth; for they are come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those that dwell therein.
jps@Jeremiah:8:17 @ For, behold, I will send serpents, basilisks, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:8:18 @ Though I would take comfort against sorrow, my heart is faint within me.
jps@Jeremiah:8:19 @ Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far off: 'Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her?'-- 'Why have they provoked Me with their graven images, and with strange vanities?'--
jps@Jeremiah:8:20 @ 'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
jps@Jeremiah:8:21 @ For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I seized with anguish; I am black, appalment hath taken hold on me.
jps@Jeremiah:8:22 @ Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
jps@Jeremiah:9:1 @ Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
jps@Jeremiah:9:2 @ Oh that I were in the wilderness, in a lodging-place of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people, and go from them! For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
jps@Jeremiah:9:3 @ And they bend their tongue, their bow of falsehood; and they are grown mighty in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and Me they know not, saith the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:9:4 @ Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother; for every brother acteth subtly, and every neighbour goeth about with slanders.
jps@Jeremiah:9:5 @ And they deceive every one his neighbour, and truth they speak not; they have taught their tongue to speak lies, they weary themselves to commit iniquity.
jps@Jeremiah:9:6 @ Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know Me, saith the LORD.
jps@Jeremiah:9:7 @ Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will smelt them, and try them; for how else should I do, because of the daughter of My people?
jps@Jeremiah:9:8 @ Their tongue is a sharpened arrow, it speaketh deceit; one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart he layeth wait for him.
jps@Jeremiah:9:9 @ Shall I not punish them for these things? saith the LORD; Shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
jps@Jeremiah:9:10 @ For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none passeth through. And they hear not the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled, and gone.
