Jeremiah 11

The Broken Covenant

1

The wordh1697 whichh834 cameh1961 to Jeremiahh3414 from the LORDh3068, sayingh559,

2

aHearh8085 the wordsh1697 of thish384  bcovenanth1285, and speakh1696 to the menh376 of Judahh3063 and to the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389;

3

and sayh559 to them, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, " aCursedh779 is the manh376 whoh834 does not heedh8085 the wordsh1697 of thish384 covenanth1285

4

whichh834 I commandedh6680 your forefathersh1 in the  adayh3117 that I broughth3318 them out of the landh776 of Egypth4714, from the  bironh1270 furnaceh3564a, sayingh559, ` cListenh8085 to My voiceh6963, and  1doh6213a according to allh3605 whichh834 I commandh6680 you; so you shall be  dMy peopleh5971a, and I will be your Godh430,'

5

in orderh4616 to confirmh6965 the  aoathh7621 whichh834 I sworeh7650 to your forefathersh1, to giveh5414 them a landh776 flowingh2100 with milkh2461 and honeyh1706, as it is thish2088 dayh3117.""' Then I saidh559, " bAmenh543, O LORDh3068."

6

And the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, " aProclaimh7121 allh3605 theseh428 wordsh1697 in the citiesh5892b of Judahh3063 and in the streetsh2351 of Jerusalemh3389, sayingh559, ` bHearh8085 the wordsh1697 of thish384 covenanth1285 and  cdoh6213a them.

7

`For I solemnlyh5749b  awarnedh5749b your fathersh1 in the  bdayh3117 that I broughth5927 them up from the landh776 of Egypth4714, even to thish2088 dayh3117,  1 cwarningh5749b persistentlyh7925, sayingh559, " dListenh8085 to My voiceh6963."

8

`Yet they  adidh6213a not obeyh8085 or inclineh5186 their earh241, but walkedh1980, eachh376 oneh376, in the stubbornnessh8307 of his evilh7451a hearth3820; therefore I broughth935 on them allh3605 the  bwordsh1697 of thish384 covenanth1285, whichh834 I commandedh6680 them to doh6213a, but they didh6213a not.' "

9

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, "A  aconspiracyh7195 has been foundh4672 among the menh376 of Judahh3063 and among the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389.

10

"They have  aturnedh7725 backh7725 to the iniquitiesh5771 of their  1ancestorsh7223 whoh834  brefusedh3985 to hearh8085 My wordsh1697, and they  chave goneh1980 afterh310 otherh312 godsh430 to serveh5647 them; the househ1004 of Israelh3478 and the househ1004 of Judahh3063 have  dbrokenh6565a My covenanth1285 whichh834 I madeh3772 with their fathersh1."

11

Thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "Beholdh2009 I am  abringingh935 disasterh7463a on them whichh834 they will  bnot be ableh3201 to escapeh3318; though they will  ccryh2199 to Me, yet I will not listenh8085 to them.

12

"Then the citiesh5892b of Judahh3063 and the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389 will  agoh1980 and cryh2199 to the godsh430 to whomh834 they burnh6999 incenseh6999, but they surelyh3467 will not saveh3467 them in the timeh6256 of their disasterh7463a.

13

"For your godsh430 are  1 aas manyh4557 as your citiesh5892b, O Judahh3063; and  1as manyh4557 as the streetsh2351 of Jerusalemh3389 are the altarsh4196 you have seth7760 up to the  bshamefulh1322 thingh1322, altarsh4196 to  cburnh6999 incenseh6999 to Baalh1168a.

14

"Therefore  ado not prayh6419 for thish384 peopleh5971a, norh408 lifth5375 up a cryh7440 or prayerh8605 for them; for I will  bnot listenh8085 whenh6256 they callh7121 to Me becauseh1157 of their disasterh7463a.

15

"Whath4100 right has My  abelovedh3039 in My househ1004 Whenh3588  bshe has doneh6213a manyh7227a vileh4209 deedsh4209? Can the sacrificialh6944 fleshh1320 takeh5674a awayh5674a from you your disasterh7463a,  1Soh227 that you can rejoiceh5937?"

16

The LORDh3068 calledh7121 your nameh8034, "A  agreenh7488 oliveh2132 treeh2132, beautifulh3303 in fruith6529 and formh8389"; With the  bnoiseh6963 of a greath1419 tumulth1999 He has  ckindledh3341 fireh784 on it, And its branchesh1808 are worthlessh7489b.

17

The LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, who  aplantedh5193 you, has  bpronouncedh1696 evilh7463a againsth5921 you becauseh1558 of the evilh7463a of the househ1004 of Israelh3478 and of the househ1004 of Judahh3063, whichh834 they have  1doneh6213a to provokeh3707 Me by  2 cofferingh6999 up sacrificesh6999 to Baalh1168a.

Plots against Jeremiah

18

Moreover, the LORDh3068  amadeh3045 it knownh3045 to me and I knewh3045 it; Thenh227 You showedh7200 me their deedsh4611.

19

But I was like a gentleh441a  alambh3532 ledh2986 to the slaughterh2873; And I did not knowh3045 that they had  bdevisedh2803 plotsh4284 againsth5921 me, saying, "Let us destroyh7843 the treeh6086 with its  1fruith3899, And  clet us cuth3772 him offh3772 from the  dlandh776 of the livingh2416a, That his  enameh8034 be rememberedh2142 noh3808 moreh5750."

20

But, O LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, who  ajudgesh8199 righteouslyh6664, Who  btriesh974 the  1feelingsh3629 and the hearth3820, Let me seeh7200 Your vengeanceh5360 on them, For to You have I  2committedh1540 my causeh7379.

21

Thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 concerningh5921 the menh376 of  aAnathothh6068, who  bseekh1245 your lifeh5315, sayingh559, " cDo not prophesyh5012 in the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068, soh3808 that you will not  ddieh4191 at our handh3027";

22

thereforeh3651, thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, "Beholdh2009, I am about to  apunishh6485 them! The  byoungh970 menh970 will dieh4191 by the swordh2719, their sonsh1121 and daughtersh1323 will dieh4191 by famineh7458;

23

and a remnanth7611  awill not be lefth1961 to them, for I will  bbringh935 disasterh7463a on the menh376 of Anathothh6068-- cthe yearh8141 of their punishmenth6486."
