Seeker Overlay ON
*
The word of the LORD came also to me ,
saying ,
*
Thou shalt not take thee a wife ,
neither shalt thou have sons nor daughters in this place .
*
For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place ,
and concerning their mothers that bore them ,
and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land ;
*
They shall die by grievous deaths ;
they shall not be lamented ;
neither shall they be buried ;
but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth :
and they shall be consumed by the sword ,
and by famine ;
and their carcasses shall be food for the fowls of heaven ,
and for the beasts of the earth .
*
For thus saith the LORD ,
Enter not into the house of mourning ,
neither go to lament nor bemoan them :
for I have taken away my peace from this people ,
saith the LORD ,
even loving-kindness and mercies .
*
Both the great and the 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 :
*
Neither shall men tear themselves 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 .
*
Also thou shalt not go into the house of feasting ,
to sit with them to eat and to drink .
*
For thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel ;
Behold ,
I will cause to cease out of this place in 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 .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
when thou shalt show this people all these words ,
and they shall say to thee ,
Why hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us ?
or what is our iniquity ?
or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God ?
*
Then shalt thou say to them ,
Because your fathers have forsaken me ,
saith the LORD ,
and have walked after other gods ,
and have served them ,
and have worshiped them ,
and have forsaken me ,
and have not kept my law ;
*
And ye have done worse than your fathers ;
for ,
behold ,
ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart ,
that they may not hearken to me :
*
Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not ,
neither ye nor your fathers ;
and there shall ye serve other gods day and night ;
where I will not show you favor .
*
Therefore behold ,
the days come ,
saith the LORD ,
that it shall no more be said ,
The LORD liveth ,
that brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt ;
*
But ,
The LORD liveth ,
that brought the children of Israel from the land of the north ,
and from all the lands whither he had driven them :
and I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers .
*
Behold ,
I will send for many fishers ,
saith the LORD ,
and they shall fish them ;
and afterwards will I send for many hunters ,
and they shall hunt them from every mountain ,
and from every hill ,
and out of the holes of the rocks .
*
For my eyes are upon all their ways :
they are not hid from my face ,
neither is their iniquity hid from my eyes .
