Jeremiah 7

1The word^H1697 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 from Jehovah^H3068, saying^H559, 2Stand^H5975 in the gate^H8179 of Jehovah's^H3068 house^H1004, and proclaim^H7121 there this word^H1697, and say^H559, Hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068, all ye of Judah^H3063, that enter in^H935 at these gates^H8179 to worship^H7812 Jehovah^H3068. 3Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478, Amend^H3190 your ways^H1870 and your doings^H4611, and I will cause you to dwell^H7931 in this place^H4725. 4Trust^H982 ye not in lying^H8267 words^H1697, saying^H559, The temple^H1964 of Jehovah^H3068, the temple^H1964 of Jehovah^H3068, the temple^H1964 of Jehovah^H3068, are these. 5For if ye thoroughly^H3190 amend^H3190 your ways^H1870 and your doings^H4611; if ye thoroughly^H6213 execute^H6213 justice^H4941 between a man^H376 and his neighbor^H7453; 6if ye oppress^H6231 not the sojourner^H1616, the fatherless^H3490, and the widow^H490, and shed^H8210 not innocent^H5355 blood^H1818 in this place^H4725, neither walk^H3212 after^H310 other^H312 gods^H430 to your own hurt^H7451: 7then will I cause you to dwell^H7931 in this place^H4725, in the land^H776 that I gave^H5414 to your fathers^H1, from of old^H5769 even for^H5704 evermore^H5769. 8Behold, ye trust^H982 in lying^H8267 words^H1697, that cannot profit^H3276. 9Will ye steal^H1589, murder^H7523, and commit adultery^H5003, and swear^H7650 falsely^H8267, and burn incense^H6999 unto Baal^H1168, and walk^H1980 after^H310 other^H312 gods^H430 that ye have not known^H3045, 10and come^H935 and stand^H5975 before^H6440 me in this house^H1004, which is called^H7121 by my name^H8034, and say^H559, We are delivered^H5337; that ye may do^H6213 all these abominations^H8441? 11Is this house^H1004, which is called^H7121 by my name^H8034, become a den^H4631 of robbers^H6530 in your eyes^H5869? Behold, I, even I, have seen^H7200 it, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 12But go^H3212 ye now unto my place^H4725 which was in Shiloh^H7887, where I caused my name^H8034 to dwell^H7931 at the first^H7223, and see^H7200 what I did^H6213 to it for^H6440 the wickedness^H7451 of my people^H5971 Israel^H3478. 13And now, because ye have done^H6213 all these works^H4639, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068, and I spake^H1696 unto you, rising up early^H7925 and speaking^H1696, but ye heard^H8085 not; and I called^H7121 you, but ye answered^H6030 not: 14therefore will I do^H6213 unto the house^H1004 which is called^H7121 by my name^H8034, wherein ye trust^H982, and unto the place^H4725 which I gave^H5414 to you and to your fathers^H1, as I did^H6213 to Shiloh^H7887. 15And I will cast you out^H7993 of my sight^H6440, as I have cast out^H7993 all your brethren^H251, even the whole seed^H2233 of Ephraim^H669. 16Therefore pray^H6419 not thou for this people^H5971, neither lift up^H5375 cry^H7440 nor prayer^H8605 for them^H1157, neither make intercession^H6293 to me; for I will not hear^H8085 thee. 17Seest^H7200 thou not what they do^H6213 in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 and in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389? 18The children^H1121 gather^H3950 wood^H6086, and the fathers^H1 kindle^H1197 the fire^H784, and the women^H802 knead^H3888 the dough^H1217, to make^H6213 cakes^H3561 to the queen^H4446 of heaven^H8064, and to pour out^H5258 drink-offerings^H5262 unto other^H312 gods^H430, that they may provoke me to anger^H3707. 19Do they provoke me to anger^H3707? saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068; do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion^H1322 of their own faces^H6440? 20Therefore thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069: Behold, mine anger^H639 and my wrath^H2534 shall be poured out^H5413 upon this place^H4725, upon man^H120, and upon beast^H929, and upon the trees^H6086 of the field^H7704, and upon the fruit^H6529 of the ground^H127; and it shall burn^H1197, and shall not be quenched^H3518. 21Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478: Add^H5595 your burnt-offerings^H5930 unto your sacrifices^H2077, and eat^H398 ye flesh^H1320. 22For I spake^H1696 not unto your fathers^H1, nor commanded^H6680 them in the day^H3117 that I brought them out^H3318 of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, concerning^H1697 burnt-offerings^H5930 or sacrifices^H2077: 23but this thing^H1697 I commanded^H6680 them, saying^H559, Hearken^H8085 unto my voice^H6963, and I will be your God^H430, and ye shall be my people^H5971; and walk^H1980 ye in all the way^H1870 that I command^H6680 you, that it may be well^H3190 with you. 24But they hearkened^H8085 not, nor inclined^H5186 their ear^H241, but walked^H3212 in their own counsels^H4156 and in the stubbornness^H8307 of their evil^H7451 heart^H3820, and went backward^H268, and not forward^H6440. 25Since the day^H3117 that your fathers^H1 came forth out^H3318 of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 unto this day^H3117, I have sent^H7971 unto you all my servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, daily^H3117 rising up early^H7925 and sending^H7971 them: 26yet they hearkened^H8085 not unto me, nor inclined^H5186 their ear^H241, but made their neck^H6203 stiff^H7185: they did worse^H7489 than their fathers^H1. 27And thou shalt speak^H1696 all these words^H1697 unto them; but they will not hearken^H8085 to thee: thou shalt also call^H7121 unto them; but they will not answer^H6030 thee. 28And thou shalt say^H559 unto them, This is the nation^H1471 that hath not hearkened^H8085 to the voice^H6963 of Jehovah^H3068 their God^H430, nor received^H3947 instruction^H4148: truth^H530 is perished^H6, and is cut off^H3772 from their mouth^H6310. 29Cut off^H1494 thy hair^H5145, O Jerusalem, and cast it away^H7993, and take up^H5375 a lamentation^H7015 on the bare heights^H8205; for Jehovah^H3068 hath rejected^H3988 and forsaken^H5203 the generation^H1755 of his wrath^H5678. 30For the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 have done^H6213 that which is evil^H7451 in my sight^H5869, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068: they have set^H7760 their abominations^H8251 in the house^H1004 which is called^H7121 by my name^H8034, to defile^H2930 it. 31And they have built^H1129 the high places^H1116 of Topheth^H8612, which is in the valley^H1516 of the son^H1121 of Hinnom^H2011, to burn^H8313 their sons^H1121 and their daughters^H1323 in the fire^H784; which I commanded^H6680 not, neither came^H5927 it into my mind^H3820. 32Therefore, behold, the days^H3117 come^H935, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068, that it shall no more be called^H559 Topheth^H8612, nor The valley^H1516 of the son^H1121 of Hinnom^H2011, but The valley^H1516 of Slaughter^H2028: for they shall bury^H6912 in Topheth^H8612, till there be no^H369 place^H4725 to bury. 33And the dead bodies^H5038 of this people^H5971 shall be food^H3978 for the birds^H5775 of the heavens^H8064, and for the beasts^H929 of the earth^H776; and none shall frighten them away^H2729. 34Then will I cause to cease^H7673 from the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and from the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389, the voice^H6963 of mirth^H8342 and the voice^H6963 of gladness^H8057, the voice^H6963 of the bridegroom^H2860 and the voice^H6963 of the bride^H3618; for the land^H776 shall become a waste^H2723.
