asv Jeremiah:16:1-17:18
asv@Jeremiah:16:1 @The word of Jehovah came also unto me, saying,
asv@Jeremiah:16:2 @Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters, in this place.
asv@Jeremiah:16:3 @For thus saith Jehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land:
asv@Jeremiah:16:4 @They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
asv@Jeremiah:16:5 @For thus saith Jehovah, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith Jehovah, even lovingkindness and tender mercies.
asv@Jeremiah:16:6 @Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;
asv@Jeremiah:16:7 @neither shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
asv@Jeremiah:16:8 @And thou shalt not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.
asv@Jeremiah:16:9 @For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
asv@Jeremiah:16:10 @And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath Jehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against Jehovah our God?
asv@Jeremiah:16:11 @Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith Jehovah, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
asv@Jeremiah:16:12 @and ye have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that ye hearken not unto me:
asv@Jeremiah:16:13 @therefore will I cast you forth out of this land into the land that ye have not known, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.
asv@Jeremiah:16:14 @Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that it shall no more be said, As Jehovah liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
asv@Jeremiah:16:15 @but, As Jehovah liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries whither he had driven them. And I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
asv@Jeremiah:16:16 @Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith Jehovah, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
asv@Jeremiah:16:17 @For mine eyes are upon all their ways; they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from mine eyes.
asv@Jeremiah:16:18 @And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled mine inheritance with their abominations.
asv@Jeremiah:16:19 @O Jehovah, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, unto thee shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nought but lies, even vanity and things wherein there is no profit.
asv@Jeremiah:16:20 @Shall a man make unto himself gods, which yet are no gods?
asv@Jeremiah:16:21 @Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is Jehovah.
asv@Jeremiah:17:1 @The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
asv@Jeremiah:17:2 @whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees upon the high hills.
asv@Jeremiah:17:3 @O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures for a spoil, and thy high places, because of sin, throughout all thy borders.
asv@Jeremiah:17:4 @And thou, even of thyself, shalt discontinue from thy 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.
asv@Jeremiah:17:5 @Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.
asv@Jeremiah:17:6 @For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
asv@Jeremiah:17:7 @Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.
asv@Jeremiah:17:8 @For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
asv@Jeremiah:17:9 @The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?
asv@Jeremiah:17:10 @I, Jehovah, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
asv@Jeremiah:17:11 @As the partridge that sitteth on eggs which she hath not laid, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
asv@Jeremiah:17:12 @A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
asv@Jeremiah:17:13 @O Jehovah, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be put to shame. They that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters.
asv@Jeremiah:17:14 @Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
asv@Jeremiah:17:15 @Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of Jehovah? let it come now.
asv@Jeremiah:17:16 @As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after thee; neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face.
asv@Jeremiah:17:17 @Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil.
asv@Jeremiah:17:18 @Let them be put to shame that persecute me, but let not me be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
