Jeremiah 6

KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H1121 O ye children H1144 of Benjamin H5756 , gather yourselves to flee [H8685]   H7130 out of the midst H3389 of Jerusalem H8628 , and blow [H8798]   H7782 the trumpet H8620 in Tekoa H5375 , and set up [H8798]   H4864 a sign H1021 of fire in Bethhaccerem H7451 : for evil H8259 appeareth [H8738]   H6828 out of the north H1419 , and great H7667 destruction.
  2 H1820 I have likened [H8804]   H1323 the daughter H6726 of Zion H5116 to a comely H6026 and delicate [H8794]   woman .
  3 H7462 The shepherds [H8802]   H5739 with their flocks H935 shall come [H8799]   H8628 unto her; they shall pitch [H8804]   H168 their tents H5439 against her round about H7462 ; they shall feed [H8804]   H376 every one H3027 in his place.
  4 H6942 Prepare [H8761]   H4421 ye war H6965 against her; arise [H8798]   H5927 , and let us go up [H8799]   H6672 at noon H188 . Woe H3117 unto us! for the day H6437 goeth away [H8804]   H6752 , for the shadows H6153 of the evening H5186 are stretched out [H8735]  .
  5 H6965 Arise [H8798]   H5927 , and let us go [H8799]   H3915 by night H7843 , and let us destroy [H8686]   H759 her palaces.
  6 H3068 For thus hath the LORD H6635 of hosts H559 said [H8804]   H3772 , Hew ye down [H8798]   H6097 trees H8210 , and cast [H8798]   H5550 a mount H3389 against Jerusalem H5892 : this is the city H6485 to be visited [H8717]   H6233 ; she is wholly oppression H7130 in the midst of her.
  7 H953 As a fountain H6979 casteth out [H8687]   H4325 her waters H6979 , so she casteth out [H8689]   H7451 her wickedness H2555 : violence H7701 and spoil H8085 is heard [H8735]   H6440 in her; before me H8548 continually H2483 is grief H4347 and wounds.
  8 H3256 Be thou instructed [H8734]   H3389 , O Jerusalem H5315 , lest my soul H3363 depart [H8799]   H7760 from thee; lest I make [H8799]   H8077 thee desolate H776 , a land H3427 not inhabited [H8738]  .
  9 H559 Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts H5953 , They shall throughly [H8780]   H5953 glean [H8779]   H7611 the remnant H3478 of Israel H1612 as a vine H7725 : turn back [H8685]   H3027 thine hand H1219 as a grapegatherer [H8802]   H5552 into the baskets.
  10 H1696 To whom shall I speak [H8762]   H5749 , and give warning [H8686]   H8085 , that they may hear [H8799]   H241 ? behold, their ear H6189 is uncircumcised H3201 , and they cannot [H8799]   H7181 hearken [H8687]   H1697 : behold, the word H3068 of the LORD H2781 is unto them a reproach H2654 ; they have no delight [H8799]   in it.
  11 H4392 Therefore I am full H2534 of the fury H3068 of the LORD H3811 ; I am weary [H8738]   H3557 with holding in [H8687]   H8210 : I will pour it out [H8800]   H5768 upon the children H2351 abroad H5475 , and upon the assembly H970 of young men H3162 together H376 : for even the husband H802 with the wife H3920 shall be taken [H8735]   H2205 , the aged H4390 with him that is full [H8804]   H3117 of days.
  12 H1004 And their houses H5437 shall be turned [H8738]   H312 unto others H7704 , with their fields H802 and wives H3162 together H5186 : for I will stretch out [H8686]   H3027 my hand H3427 upon the inhabitants [H8802]   H776 of the land H5002 , saith [H8803]   H3068 the LORD.
  13 H6996 For from the least H1419 of them even unto the greatest H1214 of them every one is given [H8802]   H1215 to covetousness H5030 ; and from the prophet H3548 even unto the priest H6213 every one dealeth [H8802]   H8267 falsely.
  14 H7495 They have healed [H8762]   H7667 also the hurt H1323 of the daughter [H8676]   H5971 of my people H7043 slightly [H8738]   H559 , saying [H8800]   H7965 , Peace H7965 , peace H7965 ; when there is no peace.
  15 H3001 Were they ashamed [H8689]   H6213 when they had committed [H8804]   H8441 abomination H1571 ? nay H954 , they were not at all [H8800]   H954 ashamed [H8799]   H1571 , neither H3045 could [H8804]   H3637 they blush [H8687]   H5307 : therefore they shall fall [H8799]   H5307 among them that fall [H8802]   H6256 : at the time H6485 that I visit [H8804]   H3782 them they shall be cast down [H8735]   H559 , saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD.
  16 H559 Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H5975 , Stand [H8798]   H1870 ye in the ways H7200 , and see [H8799]   H7592 , and ask [H8798]   H5769 for the old H5410 paths H2896 , where is the good H1870 way H3212 , and walk [H8799]   H4672 therein, and ye shall find [H8798]   H4771 rest H5315 for your souls H559 . But they said [H8799]   H3212 , We will not walk [H8798]   therein .
  17 H6965 Also I set [H8689]   H6822 watchmen [H8802]   H7181 over you, saying, Hearken [H8685]   H6963 to the sound H7782 of the trumpet H559 . But they said [H8799]   H7181 , We will not hearken [H8686]  .
  18 H8085 Therefore hear [H8798]   H1471 , ye nations H3045 , and know [H8798]   H5712 , O congregation, what is among them.
  19 H8085 Hear [H8798]   H776 , O earth H935 : behold, I will bring [H8688]   H7451 evil H5971 upon this people H6529 , even the fruit H4284 of their thoughts H7181 , because they have not hearkened [H8689]   H1697 unto my words H8451 , nor to my law H3988 , but rejected [H8799]   it.
  20 H935 To what purpose cometh [H8799]   H3828 there to me incense H7614 from Sheba H2896 , and the sweet H7070 cane H4801 from a far H776 country H5930 ? your burnt offerings H7522 are not acceptable H2077 , nor your sacrifices H6149 sweet [H8804]   unto me.
  21 H559 Therefore thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H5414 , Behold, I will lay [H8802]   H4383 stumblingblocks H5971 before this people H1 , and the fathers H1121 and the sons H3162 together H3782 shall fall [H8804]   H7934 upon them; the neighbour H7453 and his friend H6 shall perish [H8804]  .
  22 H559 Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H5971 , Behold, a people H935 cometh [H8802]   H6828 from the north H776 country H1419 , and a great H1471 nation H5782 shall be raised [H8735]   H3411 from the sides H776 of the earth.
  23 H2388 They shall lay hold [H8686]   H7198 on bow H3591 and spear H394 ; they are cruel H7355 , and have no mercy [H8762]   H6963 ; their voice H1993 roareth [H8799]   H3220 like the sea H7392 ; and they ride [H8799]   H5483 upon horses H6186 , set in array [H8803]   H376 as men H4421 for war H1323 against thee, O daughter H6726 of Zion.
  24 H8085 We have heard [H8804]   H8089 the fame H3027 thereof: our hands H7503 wax feeble [H8804]   H6869 : anguish H2388 hath taken hold [H8689]   H2427 of us, and pain H3205 , as of a woman in travail [H8802]  .
  25 H3318 Go not forth [H8799]   H7704 into the field H3212 , nor walk [H8799]   H1870 by the way H2719 ; for the sword H341 of the enemy [H8802]   H4032 and fear H5439 is on every side.
  26 H1323 O daughter H5971 of my people H2296 , gird [H8798]   H8242 thee with sackcloth H6428 , and wallow [H8690]   H665 thyself in ashes H6213 : make [H8798]   H60 thee mourning H3173 , as for an only son H8563 , most bitter H4553 lamentation H7703 : for the spoiler [H8802]   H6597 shall suddenly H935 come [H8799]   upon us.
  27 H5414 I have set [H8804]   H969 thee for a tower H4013 and a fortress H5971 among my people H3045 , that thou mayest know [H8799]   H974 and try [H8804]   H1870 their way.
  28 H5493 They are all grievous [H8802]   H5637 revolters [H8802]   H1980 , walking [H8802]   H7400 with slanders H5178 : they are brass H1270 and iron H7843 ; they are all corrupters [H8688]  .
  29 H4647 The bellows H2787 are burned [H8738]   H5777 , the lead H8552 is consumed [H8804]   H800 of the fire H784   H6884 ; the founder [H8800]   H6884 melteth [H8804]   H7723 in vain H7451 : for the wicked H5423 are not plucked away [H8738]  .
  30 H3988 Reprobate [H8737]   H3701 silver H7121 shall men call [H8804]   H3068 them, because the LORD H3988 hath rejected [H8804]   them.
ERV(i) 1 Flee for safety, ye children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth-haccherem: for evil looketh forth from the north, and a great destruction. 2 The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off. 3 Shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place. 4 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day declineth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out. 5 Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces. 6 For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast up a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her. 7 As a well casteth forth her waters, so she casteth forth her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds. 8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited. 9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn again thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets. 10 To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is become unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it. 11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days. 12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, their fields and their wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD. 13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. 14 They have healed also the hurt of my people lightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. 16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk [therein]. 17 And I set watchmen over you, [saying], Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken. 18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. 19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it. 20 To what purpose cometh there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto me. 21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people: and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish. 22 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country; and a great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth. 23 They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses; every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Zion. 24 We have heard the fame thereof; our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail. 25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for [there is] the sword of the enemy, [and] terror on every side. 26 O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us. 27 I have made thee a tower [and] a fortress among my people; that thou mayest know and try their way. 28 They are all grievous revolters, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron: they all of them deal corruptly. 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. 30 Refuse silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
