Jeremiah:6-8
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:1 @ O sons of Benjamin, take refuge out of the midst of Jerusalem. And blow the ram's horn in Tekoa, and set up a signal-fire over Beth-haccerem; for evil appears out of the north, and great ruin.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:2 @ I will destroy the daughter of Zion, the beautiful and tender one.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:3 @ The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch tents on her all around; they shall feed each one [in] his hand.
mkjv@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 stretched out.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:5 @ Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:6 @ For so has Jehovah of hosts said, Cut down trees and cast a mound against Jerusalem! She [is] the city to be visited; [there is] nothing but oppression in her midst.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:7 @ As a fountain keeps fresh her waters, so she keeps fresh her evil; violence and spoil is heard in her; always before Me [are] grief and wounds.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:8 @ O Jerusalem, you must be instructed, lest My soul depart from you; lest I make you desolate, a land without people.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:9 @ So says Jehovah of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine; turn back your hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:10 @ To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ears [are] not circumcised, and they cannot listen. Behold, the Word of Jehovah is to them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:11 @ Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in; I will pour it out on the children in the street, and on the circle of young men together. For even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with fullness of days.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:12 @ And their houses shall be turned to others, together [with their] fields and wives; for I will stretch out My hand on the people of the land, says the LORD.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:13 @ For everyone from the least of them even to the greatest of them cuts off a profit; and from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:14 @ They have also healed the hurt [of the daughter] of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace, when [there is] no peace.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:15 @ Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, nor could they blush; therefore they shall fall among those who fall. At the time [that] I visit them they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:16 @ So says the LORD, Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths where the good way [is], and walk in it, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [in it].
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:17 @ Also I set watchmen over you, [saying], Listen to the sound of the ram's horn. But they said, We will not listen.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:18 @ Therefore hear, nations, and know, O congregation, what [is] among them.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:19 @ Hear, O earth; behold, I will bring evil on this people, the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to My words, nor to My law, but have rejected it.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:20 @ Why does frankincense come to Me from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings [are] not pleasing, nor your sacrifices sweet to Me.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:21 @ Therefore so 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.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:22 @ So says the LORD, Behold, a people comes from the north country, and a great nation shall be stirred from the sides of the earth.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:23 @ They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they [are] cruel and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea; and they ride on horses, set in order like a man for war against you, O daughter of Zion.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:24 @ We have heard the rumor of it; our hands become feeble; anguish has taken hold of us, and] pain, like a woman in labor.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:25 @ Do not go out into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy [and] fear [are] on every side.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:26 @ O daughter of my people, put on sackcloth, and wallow in ashes; make mourning for yourself, [as for] an only son, most bitter weeping; for the ravager shall suddenly come on us.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:27 @ I have set you up an assayer, an examiner among My people, that you may know and try their way.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:28 @ They [are] all grievous revolters, walking [in] slanders; they [are] bronze and iron; they [are] all corrupters.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:29 @ The bellows are burned, the lead is melted by the fire; the refiner melts in vain; for the wicked are not plucked away.
mkjv@Jeremiah:6:30 @ Reprobate silver they call them, because the LORD has rejected them.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:1 @ The Word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:2 @ Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and declare there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:3 @ So says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Make your ways and your doings good, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:4 @ Do not trust in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD [are] these.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:5 @ For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you completely do judgment between a man and his neighbor;
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:6 @ [if] you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your hurt;
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:7 @ then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, forever and ever.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:8 @ Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot do any good.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:9 @ Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know;
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:10 @ and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:11 @ Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I also have seen, says the LORD.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:12 @ But go now to My place which [was] in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of My people Israel.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:13 @ And now, because you have done all these works, says the LORD, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear; and I called you, but you did not answer;
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:14 @ therefore I will do to [this] house, which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:15 @ And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, the whole seed of Ephraim.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:16 @ Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up cry nor prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:17 @ Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:18 @ The sons gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:19 @ Do they vex Me? says Jehovah. [Is it] not themselves, to the shame of their own faces?
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:20 @ Therefore so says the Jehovah God; Behold, My anger and My fury shall be poured out on this place, on man, and on animal, and on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be put out.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:21 @ So says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Put your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:22 @ For I did not speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:23 @ But I commanded them this thing, saying, Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people; and walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, so that it may be well with you.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:24 @ But they did not listen, nor bow their ear, but walked in [their own] plans, in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:25 @ Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day I have even sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:26 @ Yet they did not listen to Me, nor bow down their ear, but hardened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:27 @ So you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; you shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:28 @ But you shall say to them, This [is] a nation which does not obey the voice of Jehovah their God, nor receives instruction; truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:29 @ Cut off your hair and throw [it] away, and take up a weeping on the high places. For the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:30 @ For the sons of Judah have done evil in My sight, says the LORD. They have set their abominations in the house which is called by My name, in order to defile it.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:31 @ They have built the high places of Tophet, which [is] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I did not command [them], nor did it come into My heart.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:32 @ So, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they shall bury in Tophet, until there is no place.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:33 @ And the bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten [them] away.
mkjv@Jeremiah:7:34 @ Then I will cause the voice of gladness to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride. For the land shall be desolate.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:1 @ At that time, says the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of its rulers, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:2 @ And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of the heavens, whom they have loved and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshiped. They shall not be gathered nor buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the earth.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:3 @ And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the rest of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them, says Jehovah of hosts.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:4 @ And you shall say to them, So says the LORD; shall they fall and not arise? Shall he turn away and not return?
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:5 @ Why has this people of Jerusalem slidden back [by] a never-ending backsliding? They hold fast to deceit; they refuse to return.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:6 @ I listened and heard, [but] they did not speak right; no man repented of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Everyone turned in their own courses, as the horse rushes into the battle.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:7 @ Yea, the stork in the heavens knows her seasons; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow watch the time of their coming; but my people do not know the judgment of the LORD.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:8 @ How do you say, We [are] wise, and the law of the LORD [is] with us? Lo, certainly the lying pen of the scribes has written falsely.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:9 @ The wise are ashamed, they are terrified, and are captured. Lo, they have turned away from the Word of the LORD; and what wisdom [is] in them?
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:10 @ Therefore I will give their wives to others, [and] their fields to those who shall inherit [them], for everyone from the least even to the greatest cuts off a profit. From the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:11 @ For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:12 @ Were they ashamed when they had done an abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, nor could they blush; therefore they shall fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says the LORD.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:13 @ I will utterly consume them, says the LORD; [there shall be] no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them, [those who] pass over them.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:14 @ Why do we sit still? Gather yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there. For Jehovah our God has put us to silence, and has given us poisonous water to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:15 @ We looked for peace, but no good [came]; [and] for a time of health, but behold, trouble!
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:16 @ The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan; the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his stallions. For they have come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those who live in it.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:17 @ For, behold, I will send serpents and adders among you, [which will] not [be] charmed; and they shall bite you, says the LORD.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:18 @ [When] I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart [is] faint within me.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:19 @ Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people, from a far country. [Is] not the LORD in Zion? [Is] not her King in her? Why have they provoked Me with their graven images, with foreign vanities?
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:20 @ The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:21 @ For the breaking of the daughter of my people I am broken; I am in gloom; horror has seized me.
mkjv@Jeremiah:8:22 @ [Is there] no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the healing of the daughter of My people not come?
mkjv@Jeremiah:9:1 @ Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
