The word that came to Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} from the Lord, saying, |
|
 11:1 ¶
The wordº
thatº
cameº
toº
Jeremiahº
fromºº
Yahweh,º
saying,ºº |
 11:2
Hear ye the words of this covenant, and thou shalt speak to the men of Judah{gr.Juda}, and to the dwellers in Jerusalem; |
|
 11:2
Hearºº
yeº
the wordsº
of thisº
covenant,º
and speakºº
untoº
the menº
of Judah,º
and toº
the inhabitantsºº
of Jerusalem;º |
 11:3
and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Cursed is the man, who shall not hearken to the words of this covenant, |
|
 11:3
And sayºº
thou untoº
them, Thusº
saithºº
Yahwehº
Elohimº
of Israel;º
Cursedºº
[be] the manº
thatº
obeyethºº
notºº
the wordsº
of thisº
covenant,º |
 11:4
which I commanded your fathers, in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, out of the iron furnace, saying, Hearken to my voice, and do all things that I shall command you; so shall ye be to me a people, and I will be to you a God; |
|
 11:4
Whichº
I commandedººº
your fathersº
in the dayº
[that] I brought them forthººº
out of the landºº
of Egypt,º
from the ironº
furnace,ºº
saying,ºº
Obeyºº
my voice,º
and doºº
them, according to allº
whichº
I commandºº
you: so shall ye beº
my people,º
and Iº
will beº
your Elohim:º |
 11:5
that I may confirm mine oath, which I sware to your fathers, to give them a land flowing [with] milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then I answered and said, So be it, O Lord. |
|
 11:5
Thatº
I may performººº
the oathº
whichº
I have swornºº
unto your fathers,º
to giveºº
them a landº
flowingºº
with milkº
and honey,º
as [it is] thisº
day.º
Then answeredºº
I, and said,ºº
So be it,º
O Yahweh.º |
 11:6
And the Lord said to me, Read these words in the cities of Judah{gr.Juda}, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. |
|
 11:6
Then Yahwehº
saidºº
untoº
me, Proclaimººº
allº
theseº
wordsº
in the citiesº
of Judah,º
and in the streetsº
of Jerusalem,º
saying,ºº
Hearºº
yeº
the wordsº
of thisº
covenant,º
and doºº
them. |
 11:7
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
 11:7
Forº
I earnestlyºº
protestedºº
unto your fathersº
in the dayº
[that] I brought them upººº
out of the landºº
of Egypt,º
[even] untoº
thisº
day,º
rising earlyºº
and protesting,ºº
saying,ºº
Obeyºº
my voice.º |
 11:8
But they did [them] not. |
|
 11:8
Yet they obeyedºº
not,º
norº
inclinedººº
their ear,º
but walkedººº
every oneº
in the imaginationº
of their evilº
heart:º
therefore I will bringºº
uponº
themº
allº
the wordsº
of thisº
covenant,º
whichº
I commandedºº
[them] to do;ºº
but they didºº
[them] not.º |
 11:9
And the Lord said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah{gr.Juda}, and among the dwellers in Jerusalem. |
|
 11:9
And Yahwehº
saidºº
untoº
me, A conspiracyº
is foundºº
among the menº
of Judah,º
and among the inhabitantsºº
of Jerusalem.º |
 11:10
They are turned [aside] to the iniquities of their fathers that were of old, who would not hearken to my words: and, behold, they go after strange gods, to serve them: and the house of Israel and the house of Judah{gr.Juda} have broken my covenant, which I made with their fathers. |
|
 11:10
They are turned backºº
toº
the iniquitiesº
of their forefathers,ºº
whichº
refusedºº
to hearººº
my words;º
and theyº
wentºº
afterº
otherº
elohimº
to serveºº
them: the houseº
of Israelº
and the houseº
of Judahº
have brokenººº
my covenantº
whichº
I madeºº
withº
their fathers.º |
 11:11 ¶
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I bring evils upon this people, out of which they shall not be able to come forth; and they shall presently cry to me, but I will not hearken to them. |
|
 11:11 ¶
Thereforeº
thusº
saithºº
Yahweh,º
Behold,º
I will bringºº
evilº
uponº
them, whichº
they shall notº
be ableºº
to escape;ººº
and though they shall cryºº
untoº
me, I will notº
hearkenºº
untoº
them. |
 11:12
And the cities of Judah{gr.Juda} and the dwellers in Jerusalem shall go, and cry to the gods to whom they burn incense; which shall not deliver them in the time of their troubles. |
|
 11:12
Then shall the citiesº
of Judahº
and inhabitantsºº
of Jerusalemº
go,ºº
and cryºº
untoº
the elohimº
unto whomº
theyº
offer incense:ºº
but they shall notº
saveºº
them at allºº
in the timeº
of their trouble.º |
 11:13
For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah{gr.Juda}; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to burn incense to Baal. |
|
 11:13
Forº
[according to] the numberº
of thy citiesº
wereº
thy elohim,º
O Judah;º
and [according to] the numberº
of the streetsº
of Jerusalemº
have ye set upºº
altarsº
to [that] shameful thing,º
[even] altarsº
to burn incenseºº
unto Baal.º |
 11:14
And thou, pray not for this people, and intercede not for them in supplication and prayer: for I will not hear in the day in which they call upon me, in the day of their affliction. |
|
 11:14
Therefore prayºº
notº
thouº
forº
thisº
people,º
neitherº
lift upºº
a cryº
or prayerº
forº
them: forº
Iº
will notº
hearºº
[them] in the timeº
that they cryºº
untoº
me forº
their trouble.º |
 11:15
Why has [my] beloved wrought abomination in my house? will prayers and holy offerings take away thy wickedness from thee, or shalt thou escape by these things? |
|
 11:15
Whatº
hath my belovedº
to do in mine house,º
[seeing] she hath wroughtºº
lewdnessº
with many,º
and the holyº
fleshº
is passedºº
fromºº
thee? whenº
thou doest evil,º
thenº
thou rejoicest.ºº |
 11:16
The Lord called thy name a fair olive tree, of a goodly shade in appearance, at the noise of its being lopped, fire was kindled against it; great is the affliction [coming] upon thee: her branches are become good for nothing. |
|
 11:16
Yahwehº
calledºº
thy name,º
A greenº
olive tree,º
fair,º
[and] of goodlyº
fruit:º
with the noiseº
of a greatº
tumultº
he hath kindledºº
fireº
uponº
it, and the branchesº
of it are broken.ºº |
 11:17
And the Lord that planted thee has pronounced evils against thee, because of the iniquity of the house of Israel and the house of Judah{gr.Juda}, whatsoever they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger by burning incense to Baal. |
|
 11:17
For Yahwehº
Sabaoth,º
that plantedºº
thee, hath pronouncedºº
evilº
againstº
thee, forºº
the evilº
of the houseº
of Israelº
and of the houseº
of Judah,º
whichº
they have doneºº
against themselves to provoke me to angerºº
in offering incenseºº
unto Baal.º |
 11:18 ¶
O Lord, teach me, and I shall know: then I saw their practices. |
|
 11:18 ¶
And Yahwehº
hath given me knowledgeºº
[of it], and I knowºº
[it]: thenº
thou shewedstºº
me their doings.º |
 11:19
But I as an innocent lamb led to the slaughter, knew not: against me they devised an evil device, saying, Come and let us put wood into his bread, and let us utterly destroy him from off the land of the living, and let his name not be remembered any more. |
|
 11:19
But Iº
[was] like a lambº
[or] an oxº
[that] is broughtºº
to the slaughter;ºº
and I knewºº
notº
thatº
they had devisedºº
devicesº
againstº
me, [saying], Let us destroyºº
the treeº
with the fruitº
thereof, and let us cut him offºº
from the landºº
of the living,º
that his nameº
may be noº
moreº
remembered.ºº |
 11:20
O Lord, that judgest righteously, trying the reins and hearts, let me see thy vengeance [taken] upon them, for to thee I have declared my cause. |
|
 11:20
But, O Yahwehº
Sabaoth,º
that judgestºº
righteously,º
that triestºº
the reinsº
and the heart,º
let me seeºº
thy vengeanceº
onº
them: forº
untoº
thee have I revealedººº
my cause.º |
 11:21
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek my life, that say, Thou shalt not prophesy at all in the name of the Lord, but if thou dost, thou shalt die by our hands: |
|
 11:21
Thereforeº
thusº
saithºº
Yahwehº
ofº
the menºº
of Anathoth,º
that seekººº
thy life,º
saying,ºº
Prophesyºº
notº
in the nameº
of Yahweh,º
that thou dieºº
notº
by our hand:º |
 11:22
behold, I will visit them: their young men shall die by the sword; and their sons and their daughters shall die of famine: |
|
 11:22
Thereforeº
thusº
saithºº
Yahwehº
Sabaoth,º
Behold,º
I will punishººº
them: the young menº
shall dieºº
by the sword;º
their sonsº
and their daughtersº
shall dieºº
by famine:º |
 11:23
and there shall be no remnant [left] of them; for I will bring evil upon the dwellers in Anathoth, in the year of their visitation. |
|
 11:23
And there shall beº
noº
remnantº
of them: forº
I will bringºº
evilº
uponº
the menºº
of Anathoth,º
[even] the yearº
of their visitation.º |
