Jeremiah 6

Destruction of Jerusalem Impending

1

"Fleeh5756 for safetyh5756, O sonsh1121 of  aBenjaminh1144, From the midsth7130 of Jerusalemh3389! Now blowh8628 a trumpeth7782 in Tekoah8620 And raiseh5375 a signalh4864 overh5921  1 bBeth-hacceremh1021; For evilh7463a looksh8259 downh8259 from the  cnorthh6828, And a greath1419 destructionh7667.

2

"The comelyh5000 and  adaintyh6026 one,  bthe daughterh1323 of Zionh6726, I will cuth1820 offh1820.

3

aShepherdsh7462a and their flocksh5739 will comeh935 to her, They will  bpitchh8628 their tentsh168  1aroundh5439 her, They will pastureh7462a eachh376 in his  2placeh3027.

4

1 aPrepareh6942 warh4421 againsth5921 her; Ariseh6965, and let us  2attackh5927 at  bnoonh6672a. Woeh188 to us, for the dayh3117 declinesh6437, For the shadowsh6738 of the eveningh6153 lengthenh5186!

5

"Ariseh6965, and let us  1attackh5927 by nighth3915 And  adestroyh7843 her  2palacesh759!"

6

For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, " aCuth3772 downh3772 her treesh6097 And casth8210 up a  bsiegeh8210 againsth5921 Jerusalemh3389. Thish1931 is the cityh5892b to be punishedh6485, In whose midsth7130 there is onlyh3605  coppressionh6233.

7

aAs a wellh953a  1keepsh7174b its watersh4325 freshh7174b, Soh3651 she  1keepsh7174b freshh7174b her wickednessh7463a.  bViolenceh2555 and destructionh7701 are heardh8085 in her;  cSicknessh2483 and woundsh4347 are everh8548 beforeh5921h6440 Me.

8

aBe warnedh3256, O Jerusalemh3389, Orh6435  1 bI shall be alienatedh3363 from you, And makeh7760 you a desolationh8077, A landh776 not inhabitedh3427."

9

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, "They will  athoroughlyh5953b gleanh5953b as the vineh1612 the  bremnanth7611 of Israelh3478; Passh7725 your handh3027 againh7725 like a grape gathererh1219 Overh5921 the branchesh5552."

10

To whomh4310 shall I speakh1696 and giveh5749b warningh5749b That they may hearh8085? Beholdh2009, their  aearsh241 are  1closedh6189 And they cannoth3201h3808 listenh7181. Beholdh2009,  bthe wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 has becomeh1961 a reproachh2781 to them; They haveh2654a noh3808 delighth2654a in it.

11

But I am  afullh4390 of the wrathh2534 of the LORDh3068; I am  bwearyh3811 with holdingh3557 it in. " cPourh8210 it out on the childrenh5768 in the streeth2351 And on the  1gatheringh5475 of youngh970 menh970 togetherh3164a; For bothh1571 husbandh376 and wifeh802 shall be takenh3920, The agedh2205  2and the veryh4392h3117 oldh4392h3117.

12

"Their  ahousesh1004 shall be turnedh5437 overh5437 to othersh312, Their fieldsh7704 and their wivesh802 togetherh3164a; For I will  bstretchh5186 out My handh3027 Againsth5921 the inhabitantsh3427 of the landh776," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

13

"For  afrom the leasth6996a of them even to the greatesth1419 of them, Everyoneh3605 is  bgreedyh1214 for gainh1215, And from the propheth5030 even to the priesth3548 Everyoneh3605  1dealsh6213a falselyh8267.

14

"They have  ahealedh7495 the brokennessh7667 of My peopleh5971a superficiallyh7043, Sayingh559, `Peaceh7965, peaceh7965,' But thereh369 is noh369 peaceh7965.

15

"Were they  aashamedh954 becauseh3588 of the abominationh8441 they have doneh6213a? They were not evenh1571 ashamedh954 at allh954; They did not evenh1571 knowh3045 how to blushh3637. Thereforeh3651 they shall fallh5307 among those who fallh5307; At the timeh6256 that I punishh6485 them, They shall be casth3782 downh3782," saysh559 the LORDh3068.

16

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "Standh5975 by the waysh1870 and seeh7200 and askh7592 for the  aancienth5769 pathsh5410b, Whereh335 the goodh2896a wayh1870 is, and walkh1980 in it; And  byou will findh4672 resth4771 for your soulsh5315. But they saidh559, `We will not walkh1980 in it.'

17

"And I seth6965  awatchmenh6822 overh5921 you, saying, `Listenh7181 to the soundh6963 of the trumpeth7782!' But they saidh559, `We will not listenh7181.'

18

"Thereforeh3651 hearh8085, O nationsh1471, And knowh3045, O congregationh5712, whath834 is among them.

19

aHearh8085, O earthh776: beholdh2009, I am bringingh935 disasterh7463a on thish2088 peopleh5971a, The  bfruith6529 of their  1plansh4284, Becauseh3588h5921 they have not listenedh7181 to My wordsh1697, And as for My lawh8451, they have  crejectedh3988a it also.

20

aFor whath4100 purposeh2088 does  bfrankincenseh3828 comeh935 to Me from Shebah7614 And the  1 csweeth2896a caneh7070 from a distanth4801 landh776?  dYour burnth5930a offeringsh5930a are not acceptableh7522 And your sacrificesh2077 are not pleasingh6149 to Me."

21

Thereforeh3651, thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "Beholdh2009,  aI am  1layingh5414 stumblingh4383 blocksh4383 beforeh413 thish2088 peopleh5971a. And they will stumbleh3782 against them,  bFathersh1 and sonsh1121 togetherh3164a; Neighborh7934 and  2friendh7453 will perishh6."

The Enemy from the North

22

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "Beholdh2009,  aa peopleh5971a is comingh935 from the northh6828 landh776, And a greath1419 nationh1471 will be arousedh5782 from the  bremoteh3411 partsh3411 of the earthh776.

23

"They seizeh2388  abowh7198 and spearh3591; They are  bcruelh394 and haveh7355 noh3808 mercyh7355; Their voiceh6963  croarsh1993 like the seah3220, And they rideh7392 on horsesh5483b, Arrayedh6186a as a manh376 for the battleh4421 Againsth5921 you, O daughterh1323 of Zionh6726!"

24

We have  aheardh8085 the reporth8089 of it; Our handsh3027 are limph7503.  bAnguishh6869a has seizedh2388 us, Painh2427 as of a woman in childbirthh3205.

25

 aDo not goh3318 out into the fieldh7704 And  bdo not walkh1980 on the roadh1870, For the enemyh340 has a swordh2719,  cTerrorh4032 is on everyh5439 sideh5439.

26

O daughterh1323 of my peopleh5971a,  aputh2296 on sackclothh8242 And  brollh6428 in ashesh665;  1 cMournh60 as for an onlyh3173 sonh3173, A lamentationh4553 mosth8563 bitterh8563. For suddenlyh6597 the destroyerh7703 Will comeh935 upon us.

27

"I have  amadeh5414 you an assayerh969b and a testerh4013 among My peopleh5971a, That you may knowh3045 and assayh974 their wayh1870."

28

Allh3605 of them are stubbornlyh5637 rebellioush5637,  aGoingh1980 about as a talebearerh7400. They are  bbronzeh5178 and ironh1270; They, allh3605 of them, are corrupth7843.

29

The bellowsh4647 blowh2787 fiercelyh2787, The leadh5777 is consumedh8552 by the fireh800; In vainh7723 the refiningh6884 goesh6884 on, But the  awickedh7451a are not  1separatedh5423.

30

 aThey callh7121 them rejectedh3988a silverh3701, Becauseh3588 the  bLORDh3068 has rejectedh3988a them.
