Jeremiah 4 If thou wilt return , O Israel , saith the LORD , return to me: and if thou wilt put away thy abominations out of my sight , then shalt thou not be removed.

Webster_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H7725 [H8799] If thou wilt return H3478 , O Israel H5002 [H8803] , saith H3068 the LORD H7725 [H8799] , return H5493 [H8686] to me: and if thou wilt put away H8251 thy abominations H6440 out of my sight H5110 [H8799] , then shalt thou not be removed.

2 H7650 [H8738] And thou shalt swear H3068 , The LORD H2416 liveth H571 , in truth H4941 , in judgment H6666 , and in righteousness H1471 ; and the nations H1288 [H8694] shall bless H1984 [H8691] themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.

3 H559 [H8804] For thus saith H3068 the LORD H376 to the men H3063 of Judah H3389 and Jerusalem H5214 [H8798] , Break up H5215 your fallow ground H2232 [H8799] , and sow H6975 not among thorns.

4 H4135 [H8734] Circumcise H3068 yourselves to the LORD H5493 [H8685] , and take away H6190 the foreskins H3824 of your heart H376 , ye men H3063 of Judah H3427 [H8802] and inhabitants H3389 of Jerusalem H2534 : lest my fury H3318 [H8799] come forth H784 like fire H1197 [H8804] , and burn H3518 [H8764] that none can quench H6440 it, because H7455 of the evil H4611 of your doings.

5 H5046 [H8685] Declare H3063 ye in Judah H8085 [H8685] , and proclaim H3389 in Jerusalem H559 [H8798] ; and say H8628 [H8798] , Blow H7782 ye the trumpet H776 in the land H7121 [H8798] : cry H4390 [H8761] , confirm H559 [H8798] , and say H622 [H8734] , Assemble H935 [H8799] yourselves, and let us go H4013 into the fortified H5892 cities.

6 H5375 [H8798] Set up H5251 the standard H6726 toward Zion H5756 [H8685] : retire H5975 [H8799] , stay H935 [H8688] not: for I will bring H7451 evil H6828 from the north H1419 , and a great H7667 destruction.

7 H738 The lion H5927 [H8804] is come up H5441 from his thicket H7843 [H8688] , and the destroyer H1471 of the Gentiles H5265 [H8804] is on his way H3318 [H8804] ; he is gone forth H4725 from his place H7760 [H8800] to make H776 thy land H8047 desolate H5892 ; thy cities H5327 [H8799] shall be laid waste H3427 [H8802] , without an inhabitant.

8 H2296 [H8798] For this gird H8242 yourselves with sackcloth H5594 [H8798] , lament H3213 [H8685] and wail H2740 : for the fierce H639 anger H3068 of the LORD H7725 [H8804] is not turned back from us.

9 H3117 And it shall come to pass at that day H5002 [H8803] , saith H3068 the LORD H3820 , that the heart H4428 of the king H6 [H8799] shall perish H3820 , and the heart H8269 of the princes H3548 ; and the priests H8074 [H8738] shall be astonished H5030 , and the prophets H8539 [H8799] shall wonder.

10 H559 [H8799] Then said H162 I, Ah H136 , Lord H3069 GOD H403 ! surely H5377 [H8687] thou hast greatly H5377 [H8689] deceived H5971 this people H3389 and Jerusalem H559 [H8800] , saying H7965 , Ye shall have peace H2719 ; though the sword H5060 [H8804] reacheth H5315 to the soul.

11 H6256 At that time H559 [H8735] shall it be said H5971 to this people H3389 and to Jerusalem H6703 , A dry H7307 wind H8205 of the high places H4057 in the wilderness H1870 toward H1323 the daughter H5971 of my people H2219 [H8800] , not to fan H1305 [H8687] , nor to cleanse,

12 H4392 Even a full H7307 wind H935 [H8799] from those places shall come H1696 [H8762] to me: now also will I give H4941 sentence against them.

13 H5927 [H8799] Behold, he shall come up H6051 as clouds H4818 , and his chariots H5492 shall be as a whirlwind H5483 : his horses H7043 [H8804] are swifter H5404 than eagles H188 . Woe H7703 [H8795] to us! for we are laid waste.

14 H3389 O Jerusalem H3526 [H8761] , wash H3820 thy heart H7451 from wickedness H3467 [H8735] , that thou mayest be saved H205 . How long shall thy vain H4284 thoughts H3885 [H8686] lodge H7130 within thee?

15 H6963 For a voice H5046 [H8688] declareth H1835 from Dan H8085 [H8688] , and proclaimeth H205 affliction H2022 from mount H669 Ephraim.

16 H2142 [H8685] Make ye mention H1471 to the nations H8085 [H8685] ; behold, proclaim H3389 against Jerusalem H5341 [H8802] , that watchers H935 [H8802] come H4801 from a far H776 country H5414 [H8799] , and give out H6963 their voice H5892 against the cities H3063 of Judah.

17 H8104 [H8802] As keepers H7704 of a field H5439 , they are against her on all sides H4784 [H8804] ; because she hath been rebellious H5002 [H8803] against me, saith H3068 the LORD.

18 H1870 Thy way H4611 and thy doings H6213 [H8804] have procured H7451 these things to thee; this is thy wickedness H4751 , because it is bitter H5060 [H8804] , because it reacheth H3820 to thy heart.

19 H4578 My heart H4578 , my heart H2342 H3176 [H8799] ! I am pained H7023 at my very H3820 heart H3820 ; my heart H1993 [H8802] maketh a noise H2790 [H8686] in me; I cannot hold my peace H8085 [H8804] , because thou hast heard H5315 , O my soul H6963 , the sound H7782 of the trumpet H8643 , the alarm H4421 of war.

20 H7667 Destruction H7667 upon destruction H7121 [H8738] is cried H776 ; for the whole land H7703 [H8795] is laid waste H6597 : suddenly H168 are my tents H7703 [H8795] ruined H3407 , and my curtains H7281 in a moment.

21 H7200 [H8799] How long shall I see H5251 the standard H8085 [H8799] , and hear H6963 the sound H7782 of the trumpet?

22 H5971 For my people H191 are foolish H3045 [H8804] , they have not known H5530 me; they are silly H1121 children H995 [H8737] , and they have no understanding H2450 : they are wise H7489 [H8687] to do evil H3190 [H8687] , but to do good H3045 [H8804] they have no knowledge.

23 H7200 [H8804] I beheld H776 the earth H8414 , and, lo, it was without form H922 , and void H8064 ; and the heavens H216 , and they had no light.

24 H7200 [H8804] I beheld H2022 the mountains H7493 [H8801] , and, lo, they trembled H1389 , and all the hills H7043 [H8701] moved lightly.

25 H7200 [H8804] I beheld H120 , and, lo, there was no man H5775 , and all the fowls H8064 of the heavens H5074 [H8804] had fled.

26 H7200 [H8804] I beheld H3759 , and, lo, the fruitful place H4057 was a wilderness H5892 , and all its cities H5422 [H8738] were broken down H6440 at the presence H3068 of the LORD H2740 , and by his fierce H639 anger.

27 H3068 For thus hath the LORD H559 [H8804] said H776 , The whole land H8077 shall be desolate H6213 [H8799] ; yet will I not make H3617 a full end.

28 H776 For this shall the earth H56 [H8799] mourn H8064 , and the heavens H4605 above H6937 [H8804] be black H1696 [H8765] : because I have spoken H2161 [H8804] it, I have purposed H5162 [H8738] it, and will not repent H7725 [H8799] , neither will I turn back from it.

29 H5892 The whole city H1272 [H8802] shall flee H6963 for the noise H6571 of the horsemen H7198 H7411 [H8802] and bowmen H935 [H8804] ; they shall go H5645 into thickets H5927 [H8804] , and climb up H3710 upon the rocks H5892 : every city H5800 [H8803] shall be forsaken H376 , and not a man H3427 [H8802] dwell H2004 in it.

30 H7703 [H8803] And when thou art laid waste H6213 [H8799] , what wilt thou do H3847 [H8799] ? Though thou clothest H8144 thyself with crimson H5710 [H8799] , though thou deckest H5716 thee with ornaments H2091 of gold H7167 [H8799] , though thou enlarge H5869 thy eyes H6320 with painting H7723 , in vain H3302 [H8691] shalt thou make thyself fair H5689 [H8802] ; thy lovers H3988 [H8804] will despise H1245 [H8762] thee, they will seek H5315 thy life.

31 H8085 [H8804] For I have heard H6963 a voice H2470 [H8802] as of a woman in travail H6869 , and the anguish H1069 [H8688] as of her that bringeth forth her first child H6963 , the voice H1323 of the daughter H6726 of Zion H3306 [H8691] , that bewaileth H6566 [H8762] herself, that spreadeth H3709 her hands H188 , saying, Woe H5315 is me now! for my soul H5888 [H8804] is wearied H2026 [H8802] because of murderers.
