nkjv Jeremiah:6:1-22-26
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:1 @ "O you children of Benjamin, Gather yourselves to flee from the midst of Jerusalem! Blow the trumpet in Tekoa, And set up a signal-fire in Beth Haccerem; For disaster appears out of the north, And great destruction.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:2 @ I have likened the daughter of Zion To a lovely and delicate woman.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:3 @ The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her. They shall pitch their tents against her all around. Each one shall pasture in his own place."
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:4 @ "Prepare war against her; Arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us, for the day goes away, For the shadows of the evening are lengthening.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:5 @ Arise, and let us go by night, And let us destroy her palaces."
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:6 @ For thus has the LORD of hosts said: "Cut down trees, And build a mound against Jerusalem. This is the city to be punished. She is full of oppression in her midst.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:7 @ As a fountain wells up with water, So she wells up with her wickedness. Violence and plundering are heard in her. Before Me continually are grief and wounds.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:8 @ Be instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul depart from you; Lest I make you desolate, A land not inhabited."
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:9 @ Thus says the LORD of hosts: "They shall thoroughly glean as a vine the remnant of Israel; As a grape-gatherer, put your hand back into the branches."
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:10 @ To whom shall I speak and give warning, That they may hear? Indeed their ear is uncircumcised, And they cannot give heed. Behold, the word of the LORD is a reproach to them; They have no delight in it.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:11 @ Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD. I am weary of holding it in. "I will pour it out on the children outside, And on the assembly of young men together; For even the husband shall be taken with the wife, The aged with him who is full of days.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:12 @ And their houses shall be turned over to others, Fields and wives together; For I will stretch out My hand Against the inhabitants of the land," says the LORD.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:13 @ "Because from the least of them even to the greatest of them, Everyone is given to covetousness; And from the prophet even to the priest, Everyone deals falsely.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:14 @ They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly, Saying, "Peace, peace!' When there is no peace.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:15 @ Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed; Nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:16 @ Thus says the LORD: "Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, "We will not walk in it.'
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:17 @ Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, "Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But they said, "We will not listen.'
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:18 @ Therefore hear, you nations, And know, O congregation, what is among them.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:19 @ Hear, O earth! Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people-- The fruit of their thoughts, Because they have not heeded My words Nor My law, but rejected it.
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:20 @ For what purpose to Me Comes frankincense from Sheba, And sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, Nor your sacrifices sweet to Me."
nkjv@Jeremiah:6:21 @ Therefore thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people, And the fathers and the sons together shall fall on them. The neighbor and his friend shall perish."
