NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Jeremiah 17

The Deceitful Heart

1

The  asinh2403b of Judahh3063 is writtenh3789 downh3789 with an  bironh1270 stylush5842; With a diamondh8068 pointh6856 it is  cengravedh2790a upon the tableth3871 of their hearth3820 And on the hornsh7161 of  1their altarsh4196,

2

As they rememberh2142 their  achildrenh1121, So they remember their altarsh4196 and their  1 bAsherimh842 By  cgreenh7488 treesh6086 on the highh1364 hillsh1389.

3

O  amountainh2022 of Mine in the countrysideh7704, I will  bgiveh5414 over your wealthh2428 and allh3605 your treasuresh214 for bootyh957, Your highh1116 placesh1116 for sinh2403b throughouth3605 your bordersh1366.

4

And you will, even of yourself,  aleth8058 goh8058 of your inheritanceh5159 That I gaveh5414 you; And I will make you serveh5647 your  benemiesh340 In the  clandh776 whichh834 you do not knowh3045; For you have  dkindledh6919 a fireh784 in My angerh639 Which will burnh3344 foreverh5704h5769.

5

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, " aCursedh779 is the manh1397 whoh834 trustsh982 in mankindh120 And makesh7760  bfleshh1320 his  1strengthh2220, And whose hearth3820 turnsh5493 awayh5493 from the LORDh3068.

6

"For he will be like a  abushh6176 in the deserth6160 And will not seeh7200 whenh3588 prosperityh2896b comesh935, But will liveh7931 in stonyh2788 wastesh2788 in the wildernessh4057b, A  blandh776 of salth4420  1withouth3808 inhabitanth3427.

7

aBlessedh1288 is the manh1397 whoh834 trustsh982 in the LORDh3068 And whose  btrusth4009 is the LORDh3068.

8

"For he will be like a  atreeh6086 plantedh8362 by the waterh4325, That extendsh7971 its rootsh8328 by a streamh3105 And will not fearh3372a whenh3588 the heath2527 comesh935; But its leavesh5929 will be greenh7488, And it will not be anxioush1672 in a yearh8141 of  bdroughth1226 Norh3808 ceaseh4185 to yieldh6213a fruith6529.

9

"The  ahearth3820 is moreh4480  bdeceitfulh6121a thanh4480 allh3605 else And is desperatelyh605  csickh605; Whoh4310 can understandh3045 it?

10

"I, the LORDh3068,  asearchh2713 the hearth3820, I testh974 the  1mindh3629, Even  bto giveh5414 to eachh376 manh376 according to his waysh1870, According to the  2resultsh6529 of his deedsh4611.

11

"As a partridgeh7124 that hatchesh1716 eggsh1716 which it has not laidh3205, So is he who  amakesh6213a a fortuneh6239, but unjustlyh4941h3808; In the midsth2677 of his daysh3117 it will forsakeh5800a him, And in  1the endh319 he will be a  bfoolh5036."

12

 aA glorioush3519b throneh3678 on highh4791 from the beginningh7223 Is the placeh4725 of our sanctuaryh4720.

13

O LORDh3068, the  ahopeh4723a of Israelh3478, Allh3605 who  bforsakeh5800a You will be puth954 to shameh954. Those who turnh5493  1awayh5493 on earthh776 will be  cwrittenh3789 downh3789, Becauseh3588 they have forsakenh5800a the fountainh4726 of livingh2416a waterh4325, even the LORDh3068.

14

 aHealh7495 me, O LORDh3068, and I will be healedh7495;  bSaveh3467 me and I will be savedh3467, For You are my  cpraiseh8416.

15

Lookh2009, they keep  asayingh559 to me, "Whereh346 is the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068? Let it comeh935 nowh4994!"

16

But as for me, I have not hurriedh213 away from being a shepherdh7462a afterh310 You, Norh3808 have I longedh183 for the woefulh605 dayh3117;  aYou Yourselfh859 knowh3045 that the utteranceh4161 of my lipsh8193 Was in Your presenceh6440.

17

Do not be a  aterrorh4288 to me; You are my  brefugeh4268 in the dayh3117 of disasterh7463a.

18

Let those who persecuteh7291 me be  aputh954 to shameh954, but as for me,  blet me not be puth954 to shameh954; Let them be dismayedh2865, but let me not be dismayedh2865.  cBringh935 on them a dayh3117 of disasterh7463a, And crushh7665 them with twofoldh4932 destructionh7670!

The Sabbath Must Be Kept

19

Thush3541 the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, "Goh1980 and standh5975 in the  1publich1121h5971a gateh8179, through whichh834 the kingsh4428 of Judahh3063 comeh935 in and goh3318 out, as well as in allh3605 the gatesh8179 of Jerusalemh3389;

20

and sayh559 to them, ` aListenh8085 to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068,  bkingsh4428 of Judahh3063, and allh3605 Judahh3063 and allh3605 inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389 who comeh935 in through theseh428 gatesh8179:

21

`Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, " aTakeh8104 heedh8104 for yourselvesh5315, and  bdo not carryh5375 any loadh4853a on the sabbathh7676 dayh3117 or bringh935 anything in through the gatesh8179 of Jerusalemh3389.

22

"You shall not bringh3318 a loadh4853a out of your housesh1004 on the sabbathh7676 dayh3117  anorh3808 doh6213a anyh3605 workh4399, but keeph6942 the sabbathh7676 dayh3117 holyh6942, as I  bcommandedh6680 your  1forefathersh1.

23

"Yet they  adid not listenh8085 or inclineh5186 their earsh241, but  bstiffenedh7185 their necksh6203 in order not to listenh8085 or takeh3947 correctionh4148.

24

"But it will comeh1961 about, ifh518 you  alistenh8085 attentivelyh8085 to Me," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "to  bbringh935 noh1115 loadh4853a in through the gatesh8179 of thish384 cityh5892b on the sabbathh7676 dayh3117,  cbut to keeph6942 the sabbathh7676 dayh3117 holyh6942 by doingh6213a noh1115h3605 workh4399 on it,

25

 athen there will comeh935 in through the gatesh8179 of thish384 cityh5892b kingsh4428 and princesh8269  bsittingh3427 on the throneh3678 of Davidh1732, ridingh7392 in chariotsh7393 and on horsesh5483b, they and their princesh8269, the menh376 of Judahh3063 and the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389, and thish384  ccityh5892b will be inhabitedh3427 foreverh5769.

26

"They will comeh935 in from the  acitiesh5892b of Judahh3063 and from the environsh5439 of Jerusalemh3389, from the landh776 of Benjaminh1144, from the  blowlandh8219, from the hillh2022 countryh2022 and from the  cNegevh5045, bringingh935 burnth5930a offeringsh5930a, sacrificesh2077, grain offeringsh4503 and incenseh3828, and bringingh935 sacrificesh8426 of thanksgivingh8426 to the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.
