  2:6 her said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the ?

  2:7 And I brought you into a plentiful try, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodhereof; but ion.

  2:8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that hahe la.

  2:9 Wherefore I h your children"s children will I plead.

  2:10 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and sider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.

  2:11 Hath a nation ged their gods, .

  2:12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.

  2:13 For my people havemittedo evils; they have forsakehe fountain of living er.

  2:14 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?

  2:15 The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land .

  2:16 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crohy head.

  2:17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, he way?

  2:18 And nohe river?

  2:19 Thine os.

  2:20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I .

  2:21 Yet I had plahee a noble vine, o me?

  2:22 For though thou he LOD.

  2:24 A hey shall find her.

  2:25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.

  2:26 As the thief is ashamed s.

  2:27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stohou hast brought me forth: for they have turheir bato me, and not their face: but iime of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.

  2:28 But hy gods, O Judah.

  2:29 Wherefore he LORD.

  2:30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no corre: your oroying lion.

  2:31 O geion, see ye the hee?

  2:33 Why trimmest thou thy hy ways.

  2:34 Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor is: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.

  2:35 Yet thou sayest, Because I am i, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, Isinned.

  2:36 Why gaddest thou about so much to ge thyashamed of Assyria.

  2:37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy fidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.

  3:1 They say, If a man put ahe LORD.

  3:2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see hy wiess.

  3:3 Therefore the shoo be ashamed.

  3:4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?

  3:5 Will he reserve his anger for ever? .

  3:6 The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that .

  3:7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. Areacherous sister Judah sa.

  3:8 And I sa also.

  3:9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her ocks.

  3:10 A for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me he LORD.

  3:11 And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.

  3:12 Go and proclaim thesekeep anger for ever.

  3:13 Only aohe LORD.

  3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I o Zion:

  3:15 And I anding.

  3:16 And it shalle to pass,be done any more.

  3:17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: her shall they .

  3:18 In those days the house of Judah shall hers.

  3:19 But I said, Hourn away from me.

  3:20 Surely as a he LORD.

  3:23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD od is the salvation of Israel.

  3:24 For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

  3:25 We lie dohe LORD od.

  4:1 If thouremove.

  4:2 And thou shalt shey glory.

  4:3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallohorns.

  4:4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take ahe evil of your doings.

  4:5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Bloies.

  4:6 Set up the standard toion.

  4:7 The lion ise up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his .

  4:8 For this gird you urned back from us.

  4:9 And it shalle to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.

  4:10 Then said I, Ah, LOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; he soul.

  4:11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry o se,

  4:12 Even a full hem.

  4:13 Behold, he shalle up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a o us! for we are spoiled.

  4:14 O Jerusalem, hee?

  4:15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affli from mount Ephraim.

  4:16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that ies of Judah.

  4:17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.

  4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it .

  4:24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.

  4:25 I beheld, and, lo, there he heavens were fled.

  4:26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place he LORD, and by his fierger.

  4:27 For thus hath the LORD said, Themake a full end.

  4:28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and .

  4:29 The herein.

  4:30 And hy life.

  4:31 For I have heard a voice as of a h her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.

  5:1 Ruo and frh the streets of Jerusalem, and see no.

  5:2 And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.

  5:3 O LORD, are not thine eyes uporuth? thou hast stri them, but they have not grieved; thou hast ed them, but they have refused to receive corre: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

  5:4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they knod.

  5:9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

  5:10 Go ye up upon her he LORD"s.

  5:11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.

  5:12 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; her shall evile upon us; her shall we see sword nor famine:

  5:13 And the prophets shall be hem.

  5:14 Wherefore thus saith the Lod of hosts, Because ye speak this hem.

  5:15 Lo, I hey say.

  5:16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.

  5:17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, he sword.

  5:19 And it shalle to pass,your"s.

  5:20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,

  5:22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: ?

  5:23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

  5:24 her say they in their heart, Let us no.

  5:25 Your iniquities have turned ahings from you.

  5:26 For among my people are found ch men.

  5:27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are be great, and waxen rich.

  5:28 They arejudge.

  5:29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

  5:30 A he land;

  5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and hereof?

  6:1 O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and bloion.

  6:2 I have likehe daughter of Zion to aely and delicate woman.

  6:3 The shepherds hey shall feed every one in his place.

  6:4 Prepare ye .

  6:5 Arise, a us go by night, a us destroy her palaces.

  6:6 For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, He of her.

  6:7 As a fountain casteth out her inually is grief and wounds.

  6:8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.

  6:9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a viurn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.

  6:10 To .

  6:11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I amis full of days.

  6:12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, he LORD.

  6:13 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 oh falsely.

  6:14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; here is no peace.

  6:15 Were they ashamed he LORD.

  6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the herein.

  6:17 Also I sethearken.

  6:18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and knohem.

  6:19 Hear, O earth: behold, I .

  6:20 To o me.

  6:21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I he neighbour and his friend shall perish.

  6:22 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a peopleeth from the north try, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.

  6:23 They shall lay hold on boer of Zion.

  6:24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands ravail.

  6:25 Go not forth into the field, nor he enemy and fear is on every side.

  6:26 O daughter of my people, gird thee he spoiler shall suddenlye upon us.

  6:27 I have set thee for a toheir way.

  6:28 They are all grievous revolters, ers.

  6:29 The bello plucked away.

  6:30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.

  7:1 The he LORD, saying,

  7:2 Stand ie of the LORD"s house, and proclaim there this he LORD.

  7:3 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your his place.

  7:4 Trust ye not in lying hese.

  7:5 For if ye throughly amend yourbeen a man and his neighbour;

  7:6 If ye oppress not the strahe fatherless, and the :

  7:7 Then hers, for ever and ever.

  7:8 Behold, ye trust in lying .

  7:9 Will ye steal, murder, andmit adultery, and s;

  7:10 Ande and stand before me in this house, ions?

  7:11 Is this house, he LORD.

  7:12 But go ye nohe wiess of my people Israel.

  7:13 And no;

  7:14 Therefore o Shiloh.

  7:15 And I he whole seed of Ephraim.

  7:16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, her lift up or prayer for them, her make intercession to me: for I hee.

  7:17 Seest thou not s of Jerusalem?

  7:18 The children gather o anger.

  7:19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the fusion of their own faces?

  7:20 Therefore thus saith the LOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upo, and uporees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

  7:21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt s unto your sacrifices, a flesh.

  7:22 For I spake not unto your fathers, normahem in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, ing burnt s or sacrifices:

  7:23 But this thingmanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I o you.

  7:24 But they hearkened not, nor ined their ear, butforward.

  7:25 Sihe day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have eve unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:

  7:26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor ined their ear, but hardeheir neck: they did hers.

  7:27 Therefore thou shalt speak all these hee.

  7:28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth corre: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

  7:29 Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it ah.

  7:30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house .

  7:31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, .

  7:32 Therefore, behold, the dayse, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.

  7:33 And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fohem away.

  7:34 Then e.

  8:1 At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:

  8:2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, h.

  8:3 Ah shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, s.

  8:4 Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn aurn?

  8:5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

  8:6 I hearkened and heard, but they spake nht: no maed him of his le.

  8:7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knohe LORD.

  8:8 Hohe scribes is in vain.

  8:9 The hem?

  8:10 Therefore h falsely.

  8:11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; here is no peace.

  8:12 Were they ashamed he LORD.

  8:13 I hem.

  8:14 Why do he LORD.

  8:15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!

  8:16 The sn of his horses herein.

  8:17 For, behold, I he LORD.

  8:18 When Iin me.

  8:19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dies?

  8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, andsaved.

  8:21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.

  8:22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physi there? er of my people recovered?

  9:1 Oh that my head er of my people!

  9:2 Oh that I had in the reaen.

  9:3 And they bend their tongues like their bohe LORD.

  9:4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother h slanders.

  9:5 And they y.

  9:6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to knohe LORD.

  9:7 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I er of my people?

  9:8 Their tongue is as an arro.

  9:9 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

  9:10 For the mountains hey are gone.

  9:11 And I .

  9:12 Who is the hrough?

  9:13 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my laherein;

  9:14 But have hem:

  9:15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I o drink.

  9:16 I hem.

  9:17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, sider ye, and call for the m hey maye:

  9:18 Ahem make haste, and take up a ers.

  9:19 For a voice of .

  9:20 Yet hear the ion.

  9:21 For death ise up into our s.

  9:22 Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.

  9:23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the he rich man glory in his riches:

  9:24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he uah and knohe LORD.

  9:25 Behold, the dayse, saith the LORD, that I he uncircumcised;

  9:26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are imost ers, that d.

  10:1 Hear ye the o you, O house of Israel:

  10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the hem.

  10:3 For the s of the people are vain: for oteth a tree out of the forest, the he axe.

  10:4 They deck it .

  10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they ot go. Be not afraid of them; for they ot do evil, her also is it io do good.

  10:6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; threat, and thy name is great in might.

  10:7 Who hee.

  10:8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doe of vanities.

  10:9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the he work of ing men.

  10:10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his ion.

  10:11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from uhese heavens.

  10:12 He hath made the earth by his poion.

  10:13 Wheereth his voice, there is a multitude of reasures.

  10:14 Every man is brutish in his knohem.

  10:15 They are vanity, and the hey shall perish.

  10:16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his iahe LORD of hosts is his name.

  10:17 Gather up thy ress.

  10:18 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, Iso.

  10:19 Woe is me for my hurt! my .

  10:20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is o stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

  10:21 For the pastors are be brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

  10:22 Behold, the noise of the bruit ise, and a greatmotion out of the north try, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den ons.

  10:23 O LORD, I knoeps.

  10:24 O LORD, correct me, but hing.

  10:25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that knoe.

  11:1 The he LORD saying,

  11:2 Hear ye the s of Jerusalem;

  11:3 And say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lod of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the ,

  11:4 Which Imanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, acc to all which Imand you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be yod:

  11:5 That I may perform the oath , O LORD.

  11:6 Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these hem.

  11:7 For I early protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.

  11:8 Yet they obeyed not, nor ined their ear, but .

  11:9 And the LORD said unto me, A spiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

  11:10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, hers.

  11:11 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I hem.

  11:12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto rouble.

  11:13 For acc to the number of thy cities o Baal.

  11:14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, her lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I rouble.

  11:15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath .

  11:16 The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit:are broken.

  11:17 For the LORD of hosts, that plahee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, o Baal.

  11:18 And the LORD hath given me knoheir doings.

  11:19 But Ihis name may be no more remembered.

  11:20 But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengean them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.

  11:21 Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:

  11:22 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I ers shall die by famine:

  11:23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I ion.

  12:1 Righteous art thou, O LORD, reacherously?

  12:2 Thou hast plahem, yea, they have taken root: they groheir reins.

  12:3 But thou, O LORD, knoer.

  12:4 Ho end.

  12:5 If thou hast run he swelling of Jordan?

  12:6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously hee.

  12:7 I have forsaken mine house, I have left miage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

  12:8 Miage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.

  12:9 Miage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her;e ye, assemble all the beasts of the field,e to devour.

  12:10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

  12:11 They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mouh unto me; the .

  12:12 The spoilers aree upon all high places through the he land: no flesh shall have peace.

  12:13 They have sohe LORD.

  13:2 So I got a girdle acc to theon my loins.

  13:3 And the ime, saying,

  13:5 So I he LORDmanded me.

  13:6 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, here.

  13:14 And I hem.

  13:15 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken.

  13:16 Give glory to the LORD yod, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and,gross darkness.

  14:8 O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, ?

  14:9 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that ot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and .

  14:10 Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to heir sins.

  14:13 Then said I, Ah, LOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the shis place.

  14:14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, her have Imahem, her spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

  17:3 O my mountain in the field, I hy borders.

  17:4 And thou, even thyself, shalt distinue from thiage that I gave thee; and I : for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.

  17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and he LORD.

  17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and he LORD is.

  17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the .

  17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately ?

  17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man acc to hisof his doings.

  17:11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

  17:12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

  17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be ers.

  17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

  17:18 Let them be fouhat persecute me, but let not me be founded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upohe day of evil, aroy them ion.

  17:19 Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand ie of the children of the people, es of Jerusalem;

  17:20 And say unto them, Hear ye the es:

  17:21 Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, n it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

  17:22 her carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, her do ye any hers.

  17:23 But they obeyed not, her ined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instru.

  17:24 And it shalle to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, t in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but halloherein;

  17:25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upohrone of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their prihe men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

  17:26 And they shalle from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt s, and sacrifices, a s, and inse, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.

  17:27 But if yebe quenched.

  18:1 The he LORD, saying,

  18:11 Nourn ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

  18:12 And they said, There is no hope: but .

  18:13 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye nohing.

  18:14 Will a man leave the snoher place be forsaken?

  18:15 Because my people hath fottehey have burned inse to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in theirup;

  18:16 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every ohat passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.

  18:17 I y.

  18:18 Then said they, e a us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the lao any of his words.

  18:19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that tend h me.

  18:20 Shall evil be rpensed food? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn ahem.

  18:21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sle.

  18:22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, .

  18:23 Yet, LORD, thou knohine anger.

  19:1 Thus saith the Lo a a potter"s earthen bottle, and take of the as of the people, and of the as of the priests;

  19:2 And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, hee,

  19:3 And say, Hear ye the ingle.

  19:4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estrahis place, and have burned inse in it unto ods, s;

  19:5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons o my mind:

  19:6 Therefore, behold, the dayse, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.

  19:7 And I h.

  19:8 And I hereof.

  19:9 And I hem.

  19:10 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go hee,

  19:11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so o bury.

  19:12 Thus :

  19:13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon her gods.

  19:14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, he people,

  19:15 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, Ihear my words.

  20:1 Nohings.

  20:2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him iocks that he LORD.

  20:3 And it came to pass on the morro Magormissabib.

  20:4 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I he sword.

  20:5 Moreover I o Babylon.

  20:6 And thou, Pashur, and all that d prophesied lies.

  20:7 O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I h me.

  20:8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violend spoil; because the o me, and a derision, daily.

  20:9 Then I said, I ay.

  20:10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and ake our revenge on him.

  20:11 But the LORD is en.

  20:12 But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, a the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengean them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.

  20:13 Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

  20:14 Cursed be the day her bare me be blessed.

  20:15 Cursed be the man hee; making him very glad.

  20:16 Ahat man be as the cities ide;

  20:17 Because he sleh me.

  20:18 Wherefore came I forth out of the h shame?

  21:1 The , saying,

  21:2 Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon makethhe may go up from us.

  21:3 Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:

  21:4 Thus saith the Lod of Israel; Behold, I y.

  21:5 And I myself h.

  21:6 And I ilence.

  21:7 And aftery, nor have mercy.

  21:8 And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the h.

  21:9 He that abideth in this city shall die by the so him for a prey.

  21:10 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not food, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it h fire.

  21:11 And toug the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the he LORD;

  21:12 O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the m, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that nonequench it, because of the evil of your doings.

  21:13 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; ions?

  21:14 But I .

  22:1 Thus saith the Lo dohis word,

  22:2 And say, Hear the es:

  22:3 Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no his place.

  22:4 For if ye do this thing ihen shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upohrone of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.

  22:5 But if ye ion.

  22:6 For thus saith the LORD unto the king"s house of Judah; Thilead unto me, and the head of Lebano surely I ed.

  22:7 And I he fire.

  22:8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the LORD dohus unto this great city?

  22:9 Then they shall anshem.

  22:10 Weep ye not for the dead, her bemoan him: but ry.

  22:11 For thus saith the LORD toug Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, her any more:

  22:12 But he shall die in the place his land no more.

  22:13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers byfor his work;

  22:14 That saith, I h vermilion.

  22:15 Shalt thn, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it h him?

  22:16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it he LORD.

  22:17 But thine eyes and thi are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed i blood, and for oppression, and for violeo do it.

  22:18 Therefore thus saith the LORD ing Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!

  22:19 He shall be buried es of Jerusalem.

  22:20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voi Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.

  22:21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, Imy voice.

  22:22 The hy wiess.

  22:23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thyin the cedars, horavail!

  22:24 As I live, saith the LORD, though iah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah hence;

  22:25 And I he Chaldeans.

  22:26 And I here shall ye die.

  22:27 But to the land urn.

  22:28 Is this man iah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel ?

  22:29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the he LORD.

  22:30 Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upohrone of David, and ruling any more in Judah.

  23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.

  23:2 Therefore thus saith the Lod of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them ahe LORD.

  23:3 And I ful and increase.

  23:4 And I he LORD.

  23:5 Behold, the dayse, saith the LORD, that I h.

  23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dhis is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD HTEOUSNESS.

  23:7 Therefore, behold, the dayse, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, ;

  23:8 But, The LORD liveth, heir own land.

  23:9 Mi he words of his holiness.

  23:10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of s.

  23:11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their he LORD.

  23:12 Wherefore their he LORD.

  23:13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

  23:14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: theymit adultery, and hereof as Gomorrah.

  23:15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts ing the prophets; Behold, I he land.

  23:16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the he LORD.

  23:17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every ohat , No evil shalle upon you.

  23:18 For ?

  23:19 Behold, a he wicked.

  23:20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: iter days ye shall sider it perfectly.

  23:21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

  23:22 But if they had stood in my sel, and had caused my people to hear my heir doings.

  23:23 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?

  23:24any hide himself i places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven ah? saith the LORD.

  23:25 I have heardprophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

  23:26 Ho;

  23:27 Which think to cause my people tet my name by their dreams en my name for Baal.

  23:28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; ahat hath my he LORD.

  23:29 Is not my he ro pieces?

  23:30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

  23:31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

  23:32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, normahem: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.

  23:33 And he LORD.

  23:34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, Iman and his house.

  23:35 Thus shall ye say every oo his neighbour, and every oo his brother, What hath the LORD anshe LORD spoken?

  23:36 And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man"s s od.

  23:37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD anshe LORD spoken?

  23:38 But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this he LORD;

  23:39 Therefore, behold, I, even I,of my presence:

  23:40 And I en.

  24:1 The LORD sheo Babylon.

  24:2 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, hey were so bad.

  24:3 Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that ot be eaten, they are so evil.

  24:4 Again the o me, saying,

  24:5 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so heir good.

  24:6 For I hem up.

  24:7 And I .

  24:8 And as the evil figs, :

  24:10 And I hers.

  25:1 Theyear of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;

  25:4 And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor ined your ear to hear.

  25:5 They said, Turn ye again nohers for ever and ever:

  25:6 And go not after ods to serve them, and to .

  25:7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger .

  25:8 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,

  25:9 Behold, I ions.

  25:10 Moreover I he dle.

  25:11 And this y years.

  25:12 And it shalle to pass, ions.

  25:13 And I ions.

  25:14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I heir own hands.

  25:15 For thus saith the Lod of Israel unto me; Take the .

  25:16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the shem.

  25:17 Then took I the cup at the LORD"s hand, and made all the nations to drink, untome:

  25:18 To his day;

  25:19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

  25:20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,

  25:21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,

  25:27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

  25:28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.

  25:29 For, lo, I begin t evil oy s.

  25:30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these h.

  25:31 A noise shalle even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a troversy he LORD.

  25:32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great h.

  25:33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, her gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

  25:34 Ho vessel.

  25:35 And the shepherds shall have no o escape.

  25:37 And the peaceable habitations are cut dohe LORD.

  25:38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fieress of the oppressor, and because of his fierger.

  26:1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this he LORD, saying,

  26:2 Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD"s house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah,a word:

  26:3 If so be they heir doings.

  26:4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If yebefore you,

  26:5 To hearken to thehearkened;

  26:7 So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these he LORD.

  26:8 No surely die.

  26:9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate he LORD.

  26:10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king"s house unto the house of the LORD, and sat dohe LORD"s house.

  26:11 Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is h your ears.

  26:12 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD seo prophesy against this house and against this city all theye have heard.

  26:13 Therefore no you.

  26:14 As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do o you.

  26:15 But knohese words in your ears.

  26:16 Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not he LORD od.

  26:17 Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,

  26:18 Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plo.

  26:19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evilour souls.

  26:20 And there he words of Jeremiah.

  26:21 And ;

  26:22 And Jehoiakim the ki men i, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, aain men .

  26:23 And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; hemon people.

  27:15 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my hat I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.

  27:16 Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the o you.

  27:17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: e?

  27:18 But if they be prophets, and if the o Babylon.

  27:19 For thus saith the LORD of hosts ing the pillars, and ing the sea, and ing the bases, and ing the residue of the vessels that remain in this city.

  27:20 Whiebuezzar king of Babylon took not, he nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

  27:21 Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, ing the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;

  27:22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then his place.

  28:1 And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, he people, saying,

  28:2 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

  28:3 Withino full years o Babylon:

  28:4 And I he king of Babylon.

  28:5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,

  28:6 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy his place.

  28:7 heless hear thou nohe people;

  28:8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many tries, and against great kingdoms, of ilence.

  28:9 The prophethim.

  28:10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah"s neck, and brake it.

  28:11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even sohis way.

  28:12 Then theJeremiah, saying,

  28:13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of hem yokes of iron.

  28:14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.

  28:15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear no in a lie.

  28:16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I he LORD.

  28:17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

  29:1 Noo Babylon;

  29:2 (After that Jeiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, ed from Jerusalem;)

  29:3 By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (o Nebuezzar king of Babylon) saying,

  29:4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried ao Babylon;

  29:5 Build ye houses, and dhem;

  29:6 Take yediminished.

  29:7 Ahe peace of the city hereof shall ye have peace.

  29:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, her hearken to your dreams o be dreamed.

  29:9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.

  29:10 For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be aplished at Babylon I his place.

  29:11 For I knoed end.

  29:12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I o you.

  29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, .

  29:14 And I ive.

  29:15 Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;

  29:16 Knoy;

  29:17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I hey are so evil.

  29:18 And I hem:

  29:19 Because they have not hearkeo my he LORD.

  29:20 Hear ye therefore the o Babylon:

  29:22 And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah he fire;

  29:23 Because they havemitted villany in Israel, and havemitted adultery he LORD.

  29:24 Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,

  29:25 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast seers in thy o all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

  29:26 The LORD hath made thee priest iead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and iocks.

  29:27 Noo you?

  29:28 For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dhem.

  29:29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

  29:30 Then came the o Jeremiah, saying,

  29:31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD ing Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:

  29:32 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I he LORD.

  30:1 The he LORD, saying,

  30:2 Thus speaketh the Lod of Israel, saying, Write thee all the hee in a book.

  30:3 For, lo, the dayse, saith the LORD, that I .

  30:4 And these are the he LORD spake ing Israel and ing Judah.

  30:5 For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

  30:6 Ask ye noo paleness?

  30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is eveime of Jacob"s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

  30:8 For it shalle to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I hemselves of him:

  30:9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, hem.

  30:10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; her be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I , and none shall make him afraid.

  30:11 For I am her unpunished.

  30:12 For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

  30:13 There is o plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medies.

  30:14 All thy lovers have fottehey seek thee not; for I have hy sins were increased.

  30:15 Why criest thou for thine affli? thy sorrohee.

  30:16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

  30:17 For I er.

  30:18 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I hereof.

  30:19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and Ibe small.

  30:20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their gregation shall be established before me, and I hem.

  30:21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I he LORD.

  31:1 At the same time, saith the LORD, hey shall be my people.

  31:2 Thus saith the LORD, The people .

  31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee hee.

  31:4 Again Imake merry.

  31:5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them asmon things.

  31:17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shalle again to their own border.

  31:18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I he LORD my God.

  31:19 Surely after that I h.

  31:20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do early remember him still: therefore my bohe LORD.

  31:24 And there shall dh flocks.

  31:25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.

  31:26 Upon this I ao me.

  31:27 Behold, the dayse, saith the LORD, that I .

  31:28 And it shalle to pass, that like as I have he LORD.

  31:29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a srape, and the children"s teeth are set on edge.

  31:31 Behold, the dayse, saith the LORD, that I he house of Judah:

  31:33 But this shall be the ant that I hey shall be my people.

  31:34 And they shall teaore every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Knoheir sin no more.

  31:35 Thus saith the LORD, s is his name:

  31:36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

  31:37 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven abovebe measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beh, I he LORD.

  31:38 Behold, the dayse, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tohe er.

  31:39 And the measuring line shall yet go forth ainst it upon the hill Gareb, and shallpass about to Goath.

  31:40 And the hrown down any more for ever.

  32:1 The h year of Nebuchadrezzar.

  32:2 For then the king of Babylon"s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet he king of Judah"s house.

  32:3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I ;

  32:4 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak h, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

  32:5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fightprosper.

  32:6 And Jeremiah said, The o me, saying,

  32:7 Behold, Hahe son of Shallum thine uncle shalle unto thee saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thio buy it.

  32:8 So Hanameel mine uncle"s son came to me in the court of the prison acc to the he LORD.

  32:9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle"s son, that een shekels of silver.

  32:10 And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took he balances.

  32:11 So I took the evidence of the purchase, both thatwhich en:

  32:12 And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle"s son, and in the presence of the he prison.

  32:13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying,

  32:14 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidehis evidence of the purchase, both inue many days.

  32:15 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.

  32:16 Nohe LORD, saying,

  32:17 Ah LOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great pohee:

  32:18 Thou shes, is his name,

  32:19 Great in sel, and mighty inof his doings:

  32:20 Which hast set signs and his day;

  32:21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt error;

  32:22 And hast givehis land, h milk and honey;

  32:23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voieither hem:

  32:24 Behold the mounts, they aree unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the s.

  32:25 And thou hast said unto me, OD, Buy thee the field for money, and take he Chaldeans.

  32:26 Then came the o Jeremiah, saying,

  32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

  32:28 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I :

  32:29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shalle a fire on this city, and burn it o anger.

  32:30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger he LORD.

  32:31 For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

  32:32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, s of Jerusalem.

  32:33 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teag them, yet they have not hearkeo receive instru.

  32:34 But they set their abominations in the house, .

  32:35 And they built the high places of Baal, o sin.

  32:36 And noilence;

  32:37 Behold, I o dwell safely:

  32:38 And they shall be my people, and I heir God:

  32:39 And I hem:

  32:40 And Ifrom me.

  32:41 Yea, I h my whole soul.

  32:42 For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so hem.

  32:43 And fields shall be bought in this land, he Chaldeans.

  32:44 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, ahem, and take he LORD.

  33:1 Moreover the he prison, saying,

  33:2 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name;

  33:3 Call unto me, and I .

  33:4 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, ing the houses of this city, and ing the houses of the kings of Judah, he sword;

  33:5 Theye to fight y.

  33:6 Behold, I h.

  33:7 And I .

  33:8 And Ime.

  33:9 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, .

  33:10 Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, ,

  33:11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his merdureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I he LORD.

  33:12 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, o lie down.

  33:13 Iies of the mountains, iies of the vale, and iies of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and iies of Judah, shall the flocks pass again uhe hands of him that telleth them, saith the LORD.

  33:14 Behold, the dayse, saith the LORD, that I he house of Judah.

  33:15 In those days, and at that time, he land.

  33:16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall deousness.

  33:17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never he house of Israel;

  33:18 her shall the priests the Levites inually.

  33:19 And the o Jeremiah, saying,

  33:20 Thus saith the LORD; If yebreak my ant of the day, and my ant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

  33:21 Then may also my ant be broken ers.

  33:22 As the host of heaven ot be numbered, her the sand of the sea measured: so o me.

  33:23 Moreover the o Jeremiah, saying,

  33:24 siderest thou not hem.

  33:25 Thus saith the LORD; If my a h;

  33:26 Then hem.

  34:1 The hereof, saying,

  34:2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I h fire:

  34:3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak o Babylon.

  34:4 Yet hear the he sword:

  34:5 But thou shalt die in peace: and he LORD.

  34:6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these o Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

  34:7 When the king of Babylon"s army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that ies of Judah.

  34:8 This is the hem;

  34:9 That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebreher.

  34:10 Nohem go.

  34:11 But afters and for handmaids.

  34:12 Therefore the he LORD, saying,

  34:13 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a ant he house of bondmen, saying,

  34:14 At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebreheir ear.

  34:15 And ye he house which is called by my name:

  34:16 But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, s and for handmaids.

  34:17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every oo his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sh.

  34:18 And I hereof,

  34:19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, he calf;

  34:20 I h.

  34:21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes he king of Babylon"s army, which are gone up from you.

  34:22 Behold, I .

  35:1 The he son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

  35:2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them o drink.

  35:3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the es;

  35:4 And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, he door:

  35:5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of hem, Drink ye wine.

  35:6 But they said, We her ye, nor your sons for ever:

  35:8 Thus have ers;

  35:9 Nor to build houses for us to dher have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

  35:10 But hermanded us.

  35:11 But it came to pass,Jerusalem.

  35:12 Then came the o Jeremiah, saying,

  35:14 The o me.

  35:15 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye noo me.

  35:16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed thema of their father, o me:

  35:17 Therefore thus saith the Lod of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, Ianswered.

  35:18 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed thema of Jonadab your father, a all his precepts, and done acc unto all that he hathmanded you:

  35:19 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not and before me for ever.

  36:1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this he LORD, saying,

  42:17 So shall it be hem.

  42:18 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, his plaore.

  42:19 The LORD hath said ing you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not i: knohis day.

  42:20 For ye dissembled in your hearts, .

  42:21 And noo you.

  42:22 Noo sojourn.

  43:1 And it came to pass, that hese words,

  43:2 Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD od hath not sent thee to say, Go not i to sojourn there:

  43:3 But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us ao Babylon.

  43:4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dhe land of Judah.

  43:5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that he land of Judah;

  43:6 Even men, and he son of Neriah.

  43:7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.

  43:8 Then came the o Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

  43:9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, he men of Judah;

  44:22 So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations his day.

  44:23 Because ye have burned inse, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor his day.

  44:24 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the :
