Jeremiah:17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron ,
and with the point of a diamond :
it is graven upon the table of their heart ,
and upon the horns of your altars ;
*
Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills gib #
ah #.
*
O my mountain in the field ,
I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil ,
and thy high places for sin chatta #
ah #,
throughout all thy borders .
*
And thou ,
even thyself ,
shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee ;
and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not :
for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger ,
which shall burn for ever .
*
Thus saith the LORD ;
Cursed be the man that trusteth in man ,
and maketh flesh his arm ,
and whose heart departeth from the LORD .
*
For he shall be like the heath #
ar #
ar #
in the desert ,
and shall not see when good cometh ;
but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness ,
in a salt land and not inhabited .
*
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD ,
and whose hope the LORD is .
*
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters ,
and that spreadeth out her roots by the river ,
and shall not see when heat cometh ,
but her leaf shall be green ra #
anan #;
and shall not be careful in the year of drought ,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit .
*
The heart is deceitful above all things ,
and desperately wicked :
who can know it ?
*
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 ma #
alal #.
*
As the partridge sitteth on eggs ,
and hatcheth them not ;
so he that getteth riches ,
and not by right ,
shall leave them in the midst of his days ,
and at his end shall be a fool .
*
A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary .
*
O LORD ,
the hope of Israel Yisra #
el #,
all that forsake thee 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 .
*
Heal me ,
O LORD ,
and I shall be healed ;
save me ,
and I shall be saved :
for thou art my praise .
*
Behold ,
they say unto me ,
Where is the word of the LORD ?
let it come now .
*
As for me ,
I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee :
neither have I desired the woeful day ;
thou knowest :
that which came out of my lips was right before thee .
*
Be not a terror unto me :
thou art my hope in the day of evil .
*
Let them be confounded that persecute me ,
but let not me be confounded :
let them be dismayed ,
but let not me be dismayed :
bring upon them the day of evil ,
and destroy them with double destruction .
*
Thus said the LORD unto 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 ;
*
And say unto them ,
Hear ye the word of the LORD ,
ye kings of Judah ,
and all Judah ,
and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
that enter in by these gates sha #

Thus saith the LORD ;
Take heed to yourselves ,
and bear no burden on the sabbath day ,
nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem ;
*
Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day ,
neither do ye any work m @
la #
kah #,
but hallow ye the sabbath day ,
as I commanded your fathers .
*
But they obeyed not ,
neither inclined their ear ,
but made their neck stiff ,
that they might not hear ,
nor receive instruction .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
if ye diligently hearken unto me ,
saith 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 ;
*
Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon 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 .
*
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 l @
bownah #
and bringing sacrifices of praise ,
unto the house of the LORD .
*
But if ye will not hearken unto 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 .
