acv@Jeremiah:6:21 @ Therefore thus says LORD: Behold, I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend shall perish.
acv@Jeremiah:6:22 @ Thus says LORD, Behold, a people comes from the north country, and a great nation shall be stirred up from the outermost parts of the earth.
acv@Jeremiah:6:23 @ They lay hold on bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride upon horses. Each one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Zion.
acv@Jeremiah:6:24 @ We have heard the report of it. Our hands grow feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail.
acv@Jeremiah:6:25 @ Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way, for the sword of the enemy, [and] terror, are on every side.
acv@Jeremiah:6:26 @ O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes. Make thee mourning, as for an only son, a most bitter lamentation. For the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.
acv@Jeremiah:6:27 @ I have made thee a prover [and] a fortress among my people, that thou may know and try their way.
acv@Jeremiah:6:28 @ They are all grievous revolters, going about with slanders. They are brass and iron. They all of them deal corruptly.
acv@Jeremiah:6:29 @ The bellows blow fiercely, the lead is consumed of the fire. In vain do they go on refining, for the wicked are not plucked away.
acv@Jeremiah:6:30 @ Waste silver, men shall call them, because LORD has rejected them.
acv@Jeremiah:7:1 @ The word that came to Jeremiah from LORD, saying,
acv@Jeremiah:7:2 @ Stand in the gate of LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of LORD, all ye of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship LORD.
acv@Jeremiah:7:3 @ Thus says LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
acv@Jeremiah:7:4 @ Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of LORD, the temple of LORD, the temple of LORD, are these.
acv@Jeremiah:7:5 @ For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor,
acv@Jeremiah:7:6 @ if ye do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your own hurt,
acv@Jeremiah:7:7 @ then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers from of old even for evermore.
acv@Jeremiah:7:8 @ Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
acv@Jeremiah:7:9 @ Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known,
acv@Jeremiah:7:10 @ and [then] come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered, that ye may do all these abominations?
acv@Jeremiah:7:11 @ Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, says LORD.
acv@Jeremiah:7:12 @ But go ye now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
acv@Jeremiah:7:13 @ And now, because ye have done all these works, says LORD. And I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not, and I called you, but ye answered not,
acv@Jeremiah:7:14 @ therefore I will do to the house, which is called by my name, in which ye trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
acv@Jeremiah:7:15 @ And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
acv@Jeremiah:7:16 @ Therefore pray thou not for this people, nor lift up cry nor prayer for them. Neither make intercession to me, for I will not hear thee.
acv@Jeremiah:7:17 @ See thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
acv@Jeremiah:7:18 @ The sons gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the 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.
acv@Jeremiah:7:19 @ Do they provoke me to anger? says LORD, [and] not themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?
acv@Jeremiah:7:20 @ Therefore thus says lord LORD: Behold, my anger and my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground. And it shall burn, and shall not be quen
acv@Jeremiah:7:21 @ Thus says LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh.
acv@Jeremiah:7:22 @ For I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices.
acv@Jeremiah:7:23 @ But this thing I commanded them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people. And walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.
acv@Jeremiah:7:24 @ But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in [their own] counsels, in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
acv@Jeremiah:7:25 @ Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.
acv@Jeremiah:7:26 @ Yet they hearkened not to me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff. They did worse than their fathers.
acv@Jeremiah:7:27 @ And thou shall speak all these words to them, but they will not hearken to thee. Thou shall also call to them, but they will not answer thee.
acv@Jeremiah:7:28 @ And thou shall say to them, This is the nation that has not hearkened to the voice of LORD their God, nor received instruction. Truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
acv@Jeremiah:7:29 @ Cut off thy hair, [O Jerusalem], and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights. For LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
acv@Jeremiah:7:30 @ For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight, says LORD. They have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
acv@Jeremiah:7:31 @ And they have built the high places of Topheth, 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, nor did it come into my mind.
acv@Jeremiah:7:32 @ Therefore, behold, the days come, says LORD, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter. For they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place [to bury].
acv@Jeremiah:7:33 @ And the dead 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.
acv@Jeremiah:7:34 @ Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, for the land shall become a waste.
acv@Jeremiah:8:1 @ At that time, says LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his rulers, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their gr

acv@Jeremiah:8:3 @ And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them, says LORD of hosts.
acv@Jeremiah:8:4 @ Moreover thou shall say to them, Thus says LORD: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall he turn away, and not return?
acv@Jeremiah:8:5 @ Why then has this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold firm deceit. They refuse to return.
acv@Jeremiah:8:6 @ I hearkened and heard, but they did not speak aright. No man repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Everyone turns to his course as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
acv@Jeremiah:8:7 @ Yea, the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times, and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming, but my people know not the law of LORD.
acv@Jeremiah:8:8 @ How can ye say, We are wise, and the law of LORD is with us? But, behold, the FALSE pen of the scribes has wrought falsely.
acv@Jeremiah:8:9 @ The wise men are put to shame. They are dismayed and taken. Lo, they have rejected the word of LORD, and what manner of wisdom is in them?
acv@Jeremiah:8:10 @ Therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them. For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness. From the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
acv@Jeremiah:8:11 @ And they have lightly healed the hurt of the daughter of my people, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
acv@Jeremiah:8:12 @ 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. In the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says LORD.
acv@Jeremiah:8:13 @ I will utterly consume them, says LORD. There shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade, and [things] I have given them shall pass away from them.
acv@Jeremiah:8:14 @ Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there. For LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against LORD.
acv@Jeremiah:8:15 @ We looked for peace, but no good came, for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!
acv@Jeremiah:8:16 @ The snorting of his horses is heard from Daniel. At the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles. For they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell therein.
acv@Jeremiah:8:17 @ For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, says LORD.
acv@Jeremiah:8:18 @ Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! My heart is faint within me.
acv@Jeremiah:8:19 @ Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: Is not LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities?
acv@Jeremiah:8:20 @ The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
acv@Jeremiah:8:21 @ For the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt. I mourn. Dismay has taken hold on me.
acv@Jeremiah:8:22 @ Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
acv@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!
acv@Jeremiah:9:2 @ Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging-place of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people, and go from them! For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
acv@Jeremiah:9:3 @ And they bend their tongue--their bow--for falsehood, and they have grown strong in the land, but not for truth. For they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me, says LORD.
acv@Jeremiah:9:4 @ Take ye heed each one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother, for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.
acv@Jeremiah:9:5 @ And they will deceive each one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
acv@Jeremiah:9:6 @ Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit. Through deceit they refuse to know me, says LORD.
acv@Jeremiah:9:7 @ Therefore thus says LORD of hosts: Behold, I will melt them, and try them, for how [else] should I do, because of the daughter of my people?
acv@Jeremiah:9:8 @ Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceit. He speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lays wait for him.
acv@Jeremiah:9:9 @ Shall I not visit them for these things? says LORD. Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
