rotherham Jeremiah:17-20

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:1 @ The sin of Judah, is written With a stylus of iron, With the point of a diamond: It is engraved Upon the tablet of their heart, And upon the horns of your altars;

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:2 @ So long as their sons remember their altars, and their Sacred Stems, By the green tree, Upon the high hills,

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:3 @ O my mountain in the field Thy substance all thy treasures, for a prey, will I give: Thy high places for sin, within all thy bounds.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:4 @ So shalt thou even of thyself, suffer to rest the inheritance which I gave thee, Seeing that I will cause thee to serve thine enemies, in the land which thou knowest not; For, a fire, have ye kindled in mine anger, Unto times age-abiding, shall it burn.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:5 @ Thus, saith Yahweh Accursed is the man Who trusteth in a son of earth, And hath made flesh his arm, And whose heart from Yahweh, turneth aside:

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:6 @ Therefore shall he become as a shrub in the waste plain, Neither shall he perceive when good cometh, But shall inhabit Parched places in a wilderness, A land of salt that cannot he dwelt in.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:7 @ Blessed is the man Who trusteth in Yahweh, To whom Yahweh is his ground of confidence;

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:8 @ For he shall become like a tree planted by waters, And, by a stream, shall he send out his roots, Neither shall he perceive when heat cometh, But, his leaf shall continue green: Even in a year of dearth, shall he not be anxious, Neither shall he cease from hearing fruit.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:9 @ Deceitful is the heart above all things And, dangerously wayward, Who can know it?

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:10 @ IYahweh, Searching the heart, Testing the affections; And giving to every man According to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:11 @ As a partridge gathereth eggs she did not lay,

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:12 @ A throne of glory, exalted from the beginning, hath been the place of our sanctuary.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:13 @ Thou hope of Israel Yahweh, All who forsake thee, shall turn pale, Yea, all who depart from me, in the ground, shall be written, For they have forsaken a fountain of living water, even Yahweh.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:14 @ Heal thou me O Yahweh, that I may be healed, Save me that I may be saved, For, my praise, thou art!

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:15 @ Lo! they, are saying unto me, Where is the word of Yahweh? Pray thee let it come to pass!

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:16 @ But as for me, I have neither forced myself away from tending the flock after thee, Nor yet for the woeful day, have I longedthou, knowest, That which came out of my lips, before thy face, was uttered.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:17 @ Do not thou become to me a terror, My refuge, art thou, in the day of calamity.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:18 @ Let my persecutors, turn pale, hut let not me, turn pale, Let, them, be terrified, but let not, me, be terrified, Bring thou upon them a day of calamity, And with a double fracture, destroy them.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:19 @ Thus, said Yahweh unto me Go and stand in the gate of the sons of the people, through which the kings of Judah enter in, and through which they come out, also in all the gates of Jerusalem.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:20 @ Then shalt thou say unto them Hear ye the word of Yahweh Ye kings of Judah and all Judah, And all ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter in through these gates:

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:21 @ Thus, saith Yahweh, lake heed unto your souls, And do not bear any burden on the sabbath day, Nor bring it in through the gates of Jerusalem,

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:22 @ Neither shall ye take forth any burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, Nor any manner of work, shall ye do, But ye shall hallow the sabbath day, As I commanded your fathers.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:23 @ Howbeit they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but stiffened their neck, that they might not hearken, neither receive correction.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:24 @ And it shall come to pass, If ye will, indeed hearken, unto me Declareth Yahweh, To bring in no burden through the gates of this city, on the sabbath day, But to hallow the sabbath day, by not doing thereon any manner of work,

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:25 @ Then shall enter in through the gates of this city, Kings and princes Sitting on 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 unto times age-abiding.

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:26 @ And they shall come in Out of the cities of Judah and Out of the places round about Jerusalem, and Out of the land of Benjamin, and Out of the lowlands, and out of the hill country, and Out of the South, Bringing in ascending-offering, and peace-offering, and meal-offering, and frankincense, Even they wire bring in a thank-offering into the house of Yahweh,

rotherham@Jeremiah:17:27 @ But, if ye will not hearken unto me To hallow the sabbath day, And to bear no burden and bring in through the gates of Jerusalem, on the sabbath day, Then will I kindle a fire within her gates, And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, And shall not be quenched.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:1 @ The word that came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying:

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:2 @ Arise and go down to the house of the potter, and, there, will I cause thee to hear my words.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:3 @ So I went down, to the house of the potter, and there he was! making a piece of work on the wheels,

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:4 @ Then was marred, the vessel that he was making, while yet it was clay in the hand of the potter, so he turned and made of it another vessel, as seemed right in the eyes of the potter to make it.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:5 @ Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:6 @ Like this potter, can I not deal with you O house of Israel? Demandeth Yahweh: Lo! as clay in the hand of the potter, So, are, ye, in my hand O house of Israel.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:7 @ The moment I speak, concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, to pull up and to break down, and to destroy;

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:8 @ and that nation return from its wickedness against whom I have spoken, then will I repent concerning the calamity which I had devised to bring upon it.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:9 @ And, the moment I speak, concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant;

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:10 @ and it commit wickedness in mine eyes, in not hearkening unto my voice, then will I repent concerning the good wherewith I had said I would do it good.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:11 @ Now, therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the men of Judah and concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, Lo! I am fashioning against you calamity, and devising against you, a device, Return I pray you every man from his wicked way, And amend your ways and your doings.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:12 @ And, since they will say, Hopeless! For after our own devices, will we walk, And, very one, the stubbornness of his own wicked heart, will we do!

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:13 @ Therefore, Thus saith Yahweh, Ask I pray you among the nations, Who hath heard such things as these? A very horrible thing, hath, the virgin, Israel done!

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:14 @ Shall the snow of Lebanon, fall from the rock of the field? Or shall waters from afar, deep, overflowing, be dried up?

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:15 @ Yet my people have forgotten me, Unto vanity, have they been burning incense; And it hath caused them to stumble In their ways The roads of age-past times, To walk in by-paths A way not cast up.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:16 @ To make their land a desolation The hissings of age-abiding times, Every one that passeth by her, shall be astonished and wag his head.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:17 @ Like an east wind, will I scatter them before the enemy, The back and not the face, will I let them see in the day of their distress.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:18 @ Then said they, Come ye and let us devise against Jeremiah devices, For the law shall not perish from the priest, Nor, counsel, from the wise, Nor, the word from the prophet: Come and let as smite him with the tongue, And let us not give ear to any of his words!

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:19 @ Give thou ear O Yahweh unto me, And hearken unto the voice of mine accusers.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:20 @ Shall, evil, be recompensed for good? For they have digged a pit for my life, Remember how I stood before thee To speak in their behalf what was good! To turn back thine indignation from them.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:21 @ Therefore, give thou up their sons to the famine And deliver them into the hands of the sword, And let their, wives, become, childless and widows, And let, their men, be slain by death, Their young men be smitten by the sword in battle.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:22 @ Let there be heard a cry out of their houses, When thou shalt bring in upon them a troop, suddenly, Because they digged a pit to capture me, And snares, did they hide for my feet.

rotherham@Jeremiah:18:23 @ But, thou, O Yahweh, knowest all their counsels against me to pat me to death, Put thou no propitiatory-covering over their iniquity, And their sin from before thee, do not thou blot out, But let them be overthrown before thee, In the time of thine anger, deal thou effectively with them.

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:1 @ Thus said Yahweh, Go and buy a potters earthen bottle, and take of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:2 @ Then shalt thou go forth into the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is at the opening of the gate of potsherds; and proclaim there the words which I shall speak unto thee;

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:3 @ and shalt say, Hear ye the word of Yahweh, O kings of Judah And inhabitants of Jerusalem, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel Behold me! bringing in calamity upon this place, which shall cause the ears of every one that heareth it, to tingle:

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:4 @ Because they have forsaken me, And have treated this as a foreign place, And have burned incense therein to other gods, which neither they, nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah, have known; And have filled this place with the blood of innocents;

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:5 @ And have built the high places of Baal for burning up their sons in the fire as ascending-sacrifices to Baal, Which I commanded not, Nor spake, Neither came it up on my heart,

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:6 @ Therefore, lo! days coming, Declareth Yahweh, When this place shall be called no longer The Topheth, or The Valley of Ben-hinnom, but The Valley of Slaughter;

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:7 @ And I will pour out the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, And I will cause them to fall by the sword, before their enemies, and by the hand of them who seek their life,

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:8 @ And I will give their dead bodies for food, to the bird of the heavens and to the beast of the earth; And I will make this city a desolation and a hissing, every one that passeth by it, shall be astonished and hiss over all her wounds;

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:9 @ And I will suffer them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, yea every onethe flesh of his friend, will they eat, in the siege and in the straitness, wherewith, their enemies, and they who seek their lives, will straiten them.

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:10 @ Then shalt thou break the bottle, before the eyes of the men who are walking with thee;

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:11 @ and shalt say unto them Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts Thus and thus, will I break this people, and this city, As one breaketh the vessel of a potter, which cannot be made whole any more, And in Topheth, shall they bury, for want of place to bury.

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:12 @ Thus, will I do to this place Declareth Yahweh, And to the inhabitants thereof, Even making this city like Topheth:

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:13 @ Yea, the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall like the place of Topheth, be places defiled, even all the houses upon whose roofs they burned incense to all the host of the heavens, and poured out drink-offerings to other gods.

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:14 @ Then entered Jeremiah out of Topheth, whither Yahweh had sent him to prophesy, and stood in the court of the house of Yahweh, and said unto all the people:

rotherham@Jeremiah:19:15 @ Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! brining in against this city, and upon all the cities thereof, The whole calamity which I have pronounced against her, Because they stiffened their neck, that they might not hear my words.

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:1 @ And when Pashhur son of Immer, the priest, who also was deputy-overseer in the house of Yahweh, heard that Jeremiah had prophesied these things,

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:2 @ then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Yahweh.

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:3 @ And it came to pass on the morrow, when Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks, that Jeremiah said unto him Not Pashhur, hath Yahweh called thy name, But Magor-missaviv. \fs15

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:4 @ For, Thus, saith Yahweh Behold me! making thee a terror to thyself and to all who love thee, and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, thine own eyes also, beholding, And all Judah, will I deliver into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon and smite them with the sword. \fs15

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:5 @ And I will deliver up All the wealth of this city, and All her labour, and All her precious things, And all the treasures of the kings of Judah, will I deliver up into the hands of their enemies, and they will make of them a prey, and take them, and carry them into Babylon.

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:6 @ And, thou, Pashhur and all who are dwelling in thy house, shall go into captivity, Yea into Babylon, shalt thou enter And there, shalt thou die And there, shalt thou be buried Thou and all who love thee, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely.

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:7 @ Thou didst persuade me, O Yahweh and I was persuaded, Thou didst lay firm hold on me and didst prevail, I am become a mockery, all the day, Every one, is laughing at me.

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:8 @ For, as often as I speak, I make outcry, Violence and wasting, I proclaim, Yea the word of Yahweh hath become to me a reproach and derision lull the day

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:9 @ Therefore I say I will not mention him Neither will I speak any more in his name, But then it becometh in my heart as a fire that burneth, Shut up in my bones, And I am weary of restraint and cannot refrain.

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:10 @ Because I have heard the whispering of many"A terror round about!" Tell ye, that we may tell of him, All the men I am wont to salute do watch for my halting, Peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail over him, and take our vengeance upon him.

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:11 @ But, Yahweh, is with me, as a mighty one striking terror, For this cause, shall my persecutors stumble and not prevail, They have turned very pale, For they have not prospered, Confusion age-abiding, it shall not be forgotten!

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:12 @ But O Yahweh of hosts Testing the righteous Beholding the affections and the heart, Let me see thine avenging upon them, For unto thee, have I laid bare my cause.

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:13 @ Sing ye to Yahweh! Praise ye Yahweh! For he hath delivered the soul of the needy, out of the hand of evildoers.

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:14 @ Accursed, be the day on which I was born, The day when my mother bare me, let it not be blessed!

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:15 @ Accursed, be the man who carried tidings to my father saying, There is born to thee a man-child!

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:16 @ Making him very glad: Yea let that man beas the cities which Yahweh overthrew and repented not, And let him hear An outcry in the morning, and A war-shout at broad noon!

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:17 @ Because I was not slain from the womb, Nor did my mother become my grave, Nor was her womb great for ever!

rotherham@Jeremiah:20:18 @ Wherefore was it That from the womb, I came forth, to see labour and pain; and That in shame should my days be consumed!

rotherham@Jeremiah:21:1 @ The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, when King Zedekiah sent unto him Pashhur, son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying:
