*
The Word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah saying ,
*
Hear the words of this covenant ,
and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
*
and say to them ,
Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel ,
Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant ,
*
which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt ,
from the iron furnace ,
saying ,
Obey My voice and do according to all that I command you ;
so you shall be My people ,
and I will be your God ;
*
so that I may fulfill the oath which I have sworn to your fathers ,
to give them a land flowing with milk and honey ,
as it is this day .
Then I answered and said ,
Amen ,
O Jehovah .
*
Then Jehovah said to me ,
Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah ,
and in the streets of Jerusalem ,
saying ,
Hear the words of this covenant ,
and do them .
*
For I admonished and testified to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt ,
until this day ,
rising early and exhorting ,
saying ,
Obey My voice .
*
Yet they did not obey nor extend their ear ,
but walked each one in the stubbornness of his evil heart .
Therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant ,
which I commanded them to do ;
but they did not do them .
*
And Jehovah said to me ,
A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah ,
and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem .
*
They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers ,
who refused to hear My Words .
And they went after other gods ,
to serve them .
The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I made with their fathers .
*
Therefore Jehovah says this :
Behold ,
I will bring evil upon them ,
which they shall not be able to escape ;
and though they shall cry to Me ,
I will not listen to them .
*
Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry to the gods to whom they offer incense .
But they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble .
*
For according to the number of your cities were your gods ,
O Judah .
And according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to that shameful thing ,
altars to burn incense to Baal .
*
Therefore ,
do not pray for this people ,
nor lift up a cry or prayer for them ;
for I will not hear them in the time that they cry out to Me because of their trouble .
*
What is My beloved doing in My house ,
since she has worked out many evil devices ?
Has the holy flesh taken away your evil from you ?
How then do you rejoice ?
*
Jehovah called your name ,
Green Olive Tree ,
fair ,
with fine fruit .
With a great roaring sound He has set fire to it ,
and its branches are broken .
*
For Jehovah of Hosts who planted you has pronounced evil against you ,
for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah ,
which they have done against themselves to provoke Me to anger by offering incense to Baal .
