updv Jeremiah:18:1-19:15
updv@Jeremiah:18:1 @ The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
updv@Jeremiah:18:2 @ Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear my words.
updv@Jeremiah:18:3 @ Then I went down to the potter's house, and, look, he was making a work on the wheels.
updv@Jeremiah:18:4 @ And when the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
updv@Jeremiah:18:5 @ Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
updv@Jeremiah:18:6 @ O house of Israel, can't I do with you(note:){+}(:note) as this potter? says Yahweh. Look, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are you{+} in my hand, O house of Israel.
updv@Jeremiah:18:7 @ At what instant I will speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it;
updv@Jeremiah:18:8 @ if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do to them.
updv@Jeremiah:18:9 @ And at what instant I will speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
updv@Jeremiah:18:10 @ if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they do not obey my voice, then I will repent of the good, with which I said I would benefit them.
updv@Jeremiah:18:11 @ Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Yahweh: Look, I frame evil against you(note:){+}(:note), and devise a device against you{+}: return{+} now every one from his evil way, and amend your{+} ways and your{+} doings.
updv@Jeremiah:18:12 @ But they say, It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart.
updv@Jeremiah:18:13 @ Therefore thus says Yahweh: Ask(note:){+}(:note) now among the nations, who has heard such things; the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
updv@Jeremiah:18:14 @ Will the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of Shaddai? [Or] will the cold waters that flow down from far away be dried up?
updv@Jeremiah:18:15 @ For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false [gods]; and they made them stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, in a way not cast up;
updv@Jeremiah:18:16 @ to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing; everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and shake his head.
updv@Jeremiah:18:17 @ I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will see them with the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
updv@Jeremiah:18:18 @ Then they said, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law will not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
updv@Jeremiah:18:19 @ Give heed to me, O Yahweh, and listen to the voice of those who contend with me.
updv@Jeremiah:18:20 @ Will evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.
updv@Jeremiah:18:21 @ Therefore deliver up their sons to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, [and] their young men struck of the sword in battle.
updv@Jeremiah:18:22 @ Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you will bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
updv@Jeremiah:18:23 @ Yet, Yahweh, you know all their counsel against me to slay me; don't forgive their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your sight; but let them be overthrown before you; deal with them in the time of your anger.
updv@Jeremiah:19:1 @ This is what Yahweh said, Go, and buy a potter's earthen bottle, and [take] of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;
updv@Jeremiah:19:2 @ and go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I will tell you;
updv@Jeremiah:19:3 @ and say, Hear(note:){+}(:note) the word of Yahweh, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, Look, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears will tingle.
updv@Jeremiah:19:4 @ Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods, that they didn't know, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with innocent blood,
updv@Jeremiah:19:5 @ and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt-offerings to Baal; which I didn't command, nor speak it, neither did it come into my mind:
updv@Jeremiah:19:6 @ therefore, look, the days come, says Yahweh, that this place will no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter.
updv@Jeremiah:19:7 @ And I will make void 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 those who seek their life: and their dead bodies I will give to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
updv@Jeremiah:19:8 @ And I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
updv@Jeremiah:19:9 @ And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they will eat every one the flesh of his fellow man, in the siege and in the distress, with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, will distress them.
updv@Jeremiah:19:10 @ Then you will break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with you,
updv@Jeremiah:19:11 @ and will say to them, Thus says Yahweh of hosts: Even so I will break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, that can't be made whole again; and they will bury in Topheth, until there is no place to bury.
updv@Jeremiah:19:12 @ Thus I will do to this place, says Yahweh, and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth:
updv@Jeremiah:19:13 @ and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, will be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink-offerings to other gods.
updv@Jeremiah:19:14 @ Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Yahweh's house, and said to all the people:
updv@Jeremiah:19:15 @ Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, Look, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.
