The Book of The Prophet Jeremiah

Jeremiah 1:1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that
were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

Jeremiah 1:2 To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son
of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.

Jeremiah 1:3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of
Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of
Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.

Jeremiah 1:4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou
camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet
unto the nations.

Jeremiah 1:6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a
child.

Jeremiah 1:7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou
shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou
shalt speak.

Jeremiah 1:8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver
thee, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 1:9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the
LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.

Jeremiah 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the
kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to
build, and to plant.

Jeremiah 1:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah,
what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.

Jeremiah 1:12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will
hasten my word to perform it.

Jeremiah 1:13 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying,
What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is
toward the north.

Jeremiah 1:14 Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall
break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.

Jeremiah 1:15 For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the
north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his
throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls
thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.

Jeremiah 1:16 And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their
wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and
worshipped the works of their own hands.

Jeremiah 1:17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto
them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound
thee before them.

Jeremiah 1:18 For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an
iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land, against the kings of
Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against
the people of the land.

Jeremiah 1:19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail
against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.

Jeremiah 2:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Jeremiah 2:2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the
LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals,
when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

Jeremiah 2:3 Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his
increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith
the LORD.

Jeremiah 2:4 Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the
families of the house of Israel:

Jeremiah 2:5 Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in
me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are
become vain?

Jeremiah 2:6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of
the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of
deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death,
through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?

Jeremiah 2:7 And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit
thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and
made mine heritage an abomination.

Jeremiah 2:8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle
the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the
prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

Jeremiah 2:9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with
your children's children will I plead.

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

Jeremiah 2:11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but
my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.

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

Jeremiah 2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me
the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns,
that can hold no water.

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

Jeremiah 2:15 The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his
land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.

Jeremiah 2:16 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown
of thy head.

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

Jeremiah 2:18 And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the
waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the
waters of the river?

Jeremiah 2:19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings
shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and
bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in
thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Jeremiah 2:20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands;
and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under
every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.

Jeremiah 2:21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how
then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?

Jeremiah 2:22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap,
yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.

Jeremiah 2:23 How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after
Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift
dromedary traversing her ways;

Jeremiah 2:24 A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind
at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her
will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.

Jeremiah 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.

Jeremiah 2:26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of
Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their
prophets,

Jeremiah 2:27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou
hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their
face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.

Jeremiah 2:28 But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them
arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the
number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.

Jeremiah 2:29 Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed
against me, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 2:30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no
correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying
lion.

Jeremiah 2:31 O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a
wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are
lords; we will come no more unto thee?

Jeremiah 2:32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my
people have forgotten me days without number.

Jeremiah 2:33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou
also taught the wicked ones thy ways.

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

Jeremiah 2:35 Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall
turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not
sinned.

Jeremiah 2:36 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also
shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.

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

Jeremiah 3:1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and
become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be
greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return
again to me, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 3:2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou
hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in
the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with
thy wickedness.

Jeremiah 3:3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been
no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be
ashamed.

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

Jeremiah 3:5 Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end?
Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.

Jeremiah 3:6 The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast
thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every
high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.

Jeremiah 3:7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto
me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel
committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet
her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

Jeremiah 3:9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that
she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.

Jeremiah 3:10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not
turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.

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

Jeremiah 3:12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return,
thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to
fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger
for ever.

Jeremiah 3:13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed
against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under
every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married
unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will
bring you to Zion:

Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which
shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

Jeremiah 3:16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased
in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of
the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they
remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.

Jeremiah 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: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their
evil heart.

Jeremiah 3:18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of
Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land
that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.

Jeremiah 3:19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give
thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said,
Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.

Jeremiah 3:20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so
have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 3:21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and
supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and
they have forgotten the LORD their God.

Jeremiah 3:22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your
backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.

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

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

Jeremiah 3:25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for
we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth
even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.

Jeremiah 4:1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me:
and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou
not remove.

Jeremiah 4:2 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment,
and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in
him shall they glory.

Jeremiah 4:3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem,
Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.

Jeremiah 4:4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins
of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come
forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your
doings.

Jeremiah 4:5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye
the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves,
and let us go into the defenced cities.

Jeremiah 4:6 Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will
bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.

Jeremiah 4:7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the
Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land
desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.

Jeremiah 4:8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the
fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.

Jeremiah 4:9 And it shall come 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.

Jeremiah 4:10 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived
this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword
reacheth unto the soul.

Jeremiah 4:11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem,
A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my
people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,

Jeremiah 4:12 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now
also will I give sentence against them.

Jeremiah 4:13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be
as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are
spoiled.

Jeremiah 4:14 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou
mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?

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

Jeremiah 4:16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against
Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice
against the cities of Judah.

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

Jeremiah 4:18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee;
this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine
heart.

Jeremiah 4:19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart
maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my
soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

Jeremiah 4:20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is
spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.

Jeremiah 4:21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the
trumpet?

Jeremiah 4:22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are
sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil,
but to do good they have no knowledge.

Jeremiah 4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void;
and the heavens, and they had no light.

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

Jeremiah 4:25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the
heavens were fled.

Jeremiah 4:26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and
all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by
his fierce anger.

Jeremiah 4:27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate;
yet will I not make a full end.

Jeremiah 4:28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be
black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent,
neither will I turn back from it.

Jeremiah 4:29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and
bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city
shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.

Jeremiah 4:30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou
clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of
gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make
thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.

Jeremiah 4:31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the
anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the
daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying,
Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.

Jeremiah 5:1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see
now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if
there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will
pardon it.

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

Jeremiah 5:3 O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken
them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have
refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock;
they have refused to return.

Jeremiah 5:4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for
they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.

Jeremiah 5:5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for
they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these
have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

Jeremiah 5:6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf
of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities:
every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their
transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.

Jeremiah 5:7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken
me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they
then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots'
houses.

Jeremiah 5:8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after
his neighbour's wife.

Jeremiah 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?

Jeremiah 5:10 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end:
take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD'S.

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

Jeremiah 5:12 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither
shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:

Jeremiah 5:13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in
them: thus shall it be done unto them.

Jeremiah 5:14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak
this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people
wood, and it shall devour them.

Jeremiah 5:15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of
Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a
nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.

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

Jeremiah 5:17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy
sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine
herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish
thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.

Jeremiah 5:18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a
full end with you.

Jeremiah 5:19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth
the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like
as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye
serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

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

Jeremiah 5:21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding;
which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:

Jeremiah 5:22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my
presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual
decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves,
yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

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

Jeremiah 5:24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our
God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he
reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

Jeremiah 5:25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins
have withholden good things from you.

Jeremiah 5:26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he
that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

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

Jeremiah 5:28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds
of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they
prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

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

Jeremiah 5:30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;

Jeremiah 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by
their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end
thereof?

Jeremiah 6:1 O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the
midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire
in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.

Jeremiah 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate
woman.

Jeremiah 6:3 The 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.

Jeremiah 6:4 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon.
Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are
stretched out.

Jeremiah 6:5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.

Jeremiah 6:6 For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and
cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly
oppression in the midst of her.

Jeremiah 6:7 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her
wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief
and wounds.

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

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

Jeremiah 6:10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear?
behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word
of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

Jeremiah 6:11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with
holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, 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.

Jeremiah 6:12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their
fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants
of the land, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 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 one dealeth falsely.

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

Jeremiah 6:15 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.

Jeremiah 6:16 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.

Jeremiah 6:17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of
the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.

Jeremiah 6:18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is
among them.

Jeremiah 6:19 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,
nor to my law, but rejected it.

Jeremiah 6:20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the
sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor
your sacrifices sweet unto me.

Jeremiah 6:21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay
stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together
shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.

Jeremiah 6:22 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north
country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.

Jeremiah 6:23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have
no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in
array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.

Jeremiah 6:24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish
hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

Jeremiah 6:25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the
sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.

Jeremiah 6:26 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.

Jeremiah 6:27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people,
that thou mayest know and try their way.

Jeremiah 6:28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they
are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.

Jeremiah 6:29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the
founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.

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

Jeremiah 7:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

Jeremiah 7:2 Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there this
word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at
these gates to worship the LORD.

Jeremiah 7:3 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your
ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

Jeremiah 7:4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD,
The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.

Jeremiah 7:5 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye
thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;

Jeremiah 7:6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow,
and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to
your hurt:

Jeremiah 7:7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that
I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

Jeremiah 7:8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

Jeremiah 7:9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely,
and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;

Jeremiah 7:10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by
my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

Jeremiah 7:11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of
robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 7:12 But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set
my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people
Israel.

Jeremiah 7:13 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD,
and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I
called you, but ye answered not;

Jeremiah 7:14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my
name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your
fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

Jeremiah 7:15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all
your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

Jeremiah 7:16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry
nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear
thee.

Jeremiah 7:17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the
streets of Jerusalem?

Jeremiah 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and
the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour
out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

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

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

Jeremiah 7:21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your
burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

Jeremiah 7:22 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the
day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings
or sacrifices:

Jeremiah 7:23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I
will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that
I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

Jeremiah 7:24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in
the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward,
and not forward.

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

Jeremiah 7:26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but
hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

Jeremiah 7:27 Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they
will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not
answer thee.

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

Jeremiah 7:29 Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up
a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the
generation of his wrath.

Jeremiah 7:30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith
the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my
name, to pollute it.

Jeremiah 7:31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the
valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the
fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.

Jeremiah 7:32 Therefore, behold, the days come, 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.

Jeremiah 7:33 And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of
the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.

Jeremiah 7:34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from
the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the
voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be
desolate.

Jeremiah 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:

Jeremiah 8:2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and
all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and
after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have
worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung
upon the face of the earth.

Jeremiah 8:3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue
of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places
whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.

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

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

Jeremiah 8:6 I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man
repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to
his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.

Jeremiah 8:7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and
the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but
my people know not the judgment of the LORD.

Jeremiah 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us?
Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.

Jeremiah 8:9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they
have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?

Jeremiah 8:10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their
fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto
the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest
every one dealeth falsely.

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

Jeremiah 8:12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay,
they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they
fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast
down, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 8:13 I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no
grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the
things that I have given them shall pass away from them.

Jeremiah 8:14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter
into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God
hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have
sinned against the LORD.

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

Jeremiah 8:16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land
trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come,
and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that
dwell therein.

Jeremiah 8:17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you,
which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 8:18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint
in me.

Jeremiah 8:19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people
because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not
her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images,
and with strange vanities?

Jeremiah 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not
saved.

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

Jeremiah 8:22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why
then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

Jeremiah 9:1 Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears,
that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!

Jeremiah 9:2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring
men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all
adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.

Jeremiah 9:3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they
are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to
evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 9:4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in
any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will
walk with slanders.

Jeremiah 9:5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not
speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary
themselves to commit iniquity.

Jeremiah 9:6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they
refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 9:7 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt
them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?

Jeremiah 9:8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one
speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his
wait.

Jeremiah 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?

Jeremiah 9:10 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and
for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned
up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the
cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.

Jeremiah 9:11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I
will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.

Jeremiah 9:12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he
to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what
the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth
through?

Jeremiah 9:13 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I
set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;

Jeremiah 9:14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and
after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

Jeremiah 9:15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water
of gall to drink.

Jeremiah 9:16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they
nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have
consumed them.

Jeremiah 9:17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the
mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may
come:

Jeremiah 9:18 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that
our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.

Jeremiah 9:19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we
spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because
our dwellings have cast us out.

Jeremiah 9:20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear
receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one
her neighbour lamentation.

Jeremiah 9:21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our
palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the
streets.

Jeremiah 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.

Jeremiah 9:23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in
his riches:

Jeremiah 9:24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth
and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment,
and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the
LORD.

Jeremiah 9:25 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all
them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;

Jeremiah 9:26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and
Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness:
for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are
uncircumcised in the heart.

Jeremiah 10:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of
Israel:

Jeremiah 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be
not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

Jeremiah 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree
out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.

Jeremiah 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with
nails and with hammers, that it move not.

Jeremiah 10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must
needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot
do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

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

Jeremiah 10:7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth
it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all
their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

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

Jeremiah 10:9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold
from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and
purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.

Jeremiah 10:10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an
everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall
not be able to abide his indignation.

Jeremiah 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 under
these heavens.

Jeremiah 10:12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the
world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

Jeremiah 10:13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in
the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;
he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his
treasures.

Jeremiah 10:14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is
confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is
no breath in them.

Jeremiah 10:15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their
visitation they shall perish.

Jeremiah 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 inheritance: The LORD of hosts is
his name.

Jeremiah 10:17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the
fortress.

Jeremiah 10:18 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the
inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may
find it so.

Jeremiah 10:19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said,
Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.

Jeremiah 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 none to stretch
forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

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

Jeremiah 10:22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion
out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of
dragons.

Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is
not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Jeremiah 10:24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger,
lest thou bring me to nothing.

Jeremiah 10:25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and
upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and
devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

Jeremiah 11:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

Jeremiah 11:2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of
Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

Jeremiah 11:3 And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel;
Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,

Jeremiah 11:4 Which I commanded 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, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people,
and I will be your God:

Jeremiah 11:5 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your
fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day.
Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD.

Jeremiah 11:6 Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the
cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of
this covenant, and do them.

Jeremiah 11:7 For I earnestly 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.

Jeremiah 11:8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every
one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them
all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them
not.

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

Jeremiah 11:10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers,
which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them:
the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I
made with their fathers.

Jeremiah 11:11 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon
them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto
me, I will not hearken unto them.

Jeremiah 11:12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem
go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not
save them at all in the time of their trouble.

Jeremiah 11:13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O
Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up
altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.

Jeremiah 11:14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a
cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry
unto me for their trouble.

Jeremiah 11:15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath
wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou
doest evil, then thou rejoicest.

Jeremiah 11:16 The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of
goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it,
and the branches of it are broken.

Jeremiah 11:17 For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced
evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of
Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in
offering incense unto Baal.

Jeremiah 11:18 And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it:
then thou showedst me their doings.

Jeremiah 11:19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the
slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying,
Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from
the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

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

Jeremiah 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:

Jeremiah 11:22 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish
them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters
shall die by famine:

Jeremiah 11:23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil
upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

Jeremiah 12:1 Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me
talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper?
wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?

Jeremiah 12:2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow,
yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their
reins.

Jeremiah 12:3 But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried
mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and
prepare them for the day of slaughter.

Jeremiah 12:4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field
wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are
consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.

Jeremiah 12:5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee,
then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein
thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of
Jordan?

Jeremiah 12:6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they
have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after
thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.

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

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

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

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

Jeremiah 12:11 They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth
unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.

Jeremiah 12:12 The spoilers are come upon all high places through the
wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the
land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.

Jeremiah 12:13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put
themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your
revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

Jeremiah 12:14 Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that
touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold,
I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from
among them.

Jeremiah 12:15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out
I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every
man to his heritage, and every man to his land.

Jeremiah 12:16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the
ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my
people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.

Jeremiah 12:17 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and
destroy that nation, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 13:1 Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle,
and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.

Jeremiah 13:2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it
on my loins.

Jeremiah 13:3 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying,

Jeremiah 13:4 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins,
and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

Jeremiah 13:5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.

Jeremiah 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, which I commanded
thee to hide there.

Jeremiah 13:7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from
the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was
profitable for nothing.

Jeremiah 13:8 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Jeremiah 13:9 Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of
Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 13:10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk
in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them,
and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.

Jeremiah 13:11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I
caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of
Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a
name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

Jeremiah 13:12 Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith
the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall
say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with
wine?

Jeremiah 13:13 Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I
will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon
David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

Jeremiah 13:14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers
and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have
mercy, but destroy them.

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

Jeremiah 13:16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness,
and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for
light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

Jeremiah 13:17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret
places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears,
because the Lord's flock is carried away captive.

Jeremiah 13:18 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit
down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.

Jeremiah 13:19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open
them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly
carried away captive.

Jeremiah 13:20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north:
where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?

Jeremiah 13:21 What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast
taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take
thee, as a woman in travail?

Jeremiah 13:22 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things
upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and
thy heels made bare.

Jeremiah 13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

Jeremiah 13:24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth
away by the wind of the wilderness.

Jeremiah 13:25 This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith
the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

Jeremiah 13:26 Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy
shame may appear.

Jeremiah 13:27 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness
of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto
thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?

Jeremiah 14:1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the
dearth.

Jeremiah 14:2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black
unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

Jeremiah 14:3 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters:
they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels
empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.

Jeremiah 14:4 Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the
earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.

Jeremiah 14:5 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it,
because there was no grass.

Jeremiah 14:6 And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed
up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.

Jeremiah 14:7 O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it
for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against
thee.

Jeremiah 14:8 O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble,
why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that
turneth aside to tarry for a night?

Jeremiah 14:9 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that
cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by
thy name; leave us not.

Jeremiah 14:10 Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to
wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept
them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.

Jeremiah 14:11 Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their
good.

Jeremiah 14:12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they
offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will
consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

Jeremiah 14:13 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto
them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will
give you assured peace in this place.

Jeremiah 14:14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my
name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them:
they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought,
and the deceit of their heart.

Jeremiah 14:15 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that
prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall
not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.

Jeremiah 14:16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the
streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have
none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for
I will pour their wickedness upon them.

Jeremiah 14:17 Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes
run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin
daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous
blow.

Jeremiah 14:18 If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the
sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with
famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they
know not.

Jeremiah 14:19 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion?
why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace,
and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!

Jeremiah 14:20 We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of
our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.

Jeremiah 14:21 Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the
throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.

Jeremiah 14:22 Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can
cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God?
therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.

Jeremiah 15:1 Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood
before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my
sight, and let them go forth.

Jeremiah 15:2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither
shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are
for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as
are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the
captivity.

Jeremiah 15:3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the
sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the
beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.

Jeremiah 15:4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the
earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which
he did in Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 15:5 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall
bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?

Jeremiah 15:6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward:
therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am
weary with repenting.

Jeremiah 15:7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I
will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not
from their ways.

Jeremiah 15:8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I
have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at
noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the
city.

Jeremiah 15:9 She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the
ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and
confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their
enemies, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 15:10 Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife
and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor
men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.

Jeremiah 15:11 The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant;
verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in
the time of affliction.

Jeremiah 15:12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?

Jeremiah 15:13 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil
without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.

Jeremiah 15:14 And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land
which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn
upon you.

Jeremiah 15:15 O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge
me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy
sake I have suffered rebuke.

Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was
unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O
LORD God of hosts.

Jeremiah 15:17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat
alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

Jeremiah 15:18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which
refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as
waters that fail?

Jeremiah 15:19 Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I
bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the
precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee;
but return not thou unto them.

Jeremiah 15:20 And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brazen wall:
and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee:
for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 15:21 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I
will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.

Jeremiah 16:1 The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying,

Jeremiah 16:2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons
or daughters in this place.

Jeremiah 16:3 For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the
daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare
them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;

Jeremiah 16:4 They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented;
neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the
earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their
carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the
earth.

Jeremiah 16:5 For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning,
neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this
people, saith the LORD, even lovingkindness and mercies.

Jeremiah 16:6 Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they
shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves,
nor make themselves bald for them:

Jeremiah 16:7 Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to
comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation
to drink for their father or for their mother.

Jeremiah 16:8 Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with
them to eat and to drink.

Jeremiah 16:9 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I
will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the
voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and
the voice of the bride.

Jeremiah 16:10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show this people
all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD
pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is
our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?

Jeremiah 16:11 Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have
forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served
them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my
law;

Jeremiah 16:12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye
walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not
hearken unto me:

Jeremiah 16:13 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that
ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods
day and night; where I will not show you favour.

Jeremiah 16:14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it
shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel
out of the land of Egypt;

Jeremiah 16:15 But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel
from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them:
and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

Jeremiah 16:16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and
they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall
hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of
the rocks.

Jeremiah 16:17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from
my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.

Jeremiah 16:18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin
double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance
with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.

Jeremiah 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the
day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the
earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and
things wherein there is no profit.

Jeremiah 16:20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?

Jeremiah 16:21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I
will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my
name is The LORD.

Jeremiah 17:1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the
point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the
horns of your altars;

Jeremiah 17:2 Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves
by the green trees upon the high hills.

Jeremiah 17:3 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all
thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy
borders.

Jeremiah 17:4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage
that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land
which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall
burn for ever.

Jeremiah 17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man,
and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

Jeremiah 17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not
see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
in a salt land and not inhabited.

Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope
the LORD is.

Jeremiah 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that
spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but
her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately
wicked: who can know it?

Jeremiah 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give
every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Jeremiah 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.

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

Jeremiah 17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be
ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because
they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.

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

Jeremiah 17:15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let
it come now.

Jeremiah 17:16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow
thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out
of my lips was right before thee.

Jeremiah 17:17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.

Jeremiah 17:18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be
confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them
the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

Jeremiah 17:19 Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the
children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which
they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

Jeremiah 17:20 And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of
Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by
these gates:

Jeremiah 17:21 Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no
burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

Jeremiah 17:22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the
sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I
commanded your fathers.

Jeremiah 17:23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made
their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.

Jeremiah 17:24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me,
saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the
sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;

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

Jeremiah 17:26 And they shall come 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 offerings, and
sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of
praise, unto the house of the LORD.

Jeremiah 17:27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day,
and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the
sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall
devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

Jeremiah 18:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

Jeremiah 18:2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will
cause thee to hear my words.

Jeremiah 18:3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he
wrought a work on the wheels.

Jeremiah 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of
the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter
to make it.

Jeremiah 18:5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Jeremiah 18:6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith
the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand,
O house of Israel.

Jeremiah 18:7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and
concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

Jeremiah 18:8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from
their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

Jeremiah 18:9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and
concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

Jeremiah 18:10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I
will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

Jeremiah 18:11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil
against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his
evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

Jeremiah 18:12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our
own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.

Jeremiah 18:13 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen,
who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible
thing.

Jeremiah 18:14 Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the
rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another
place be forsaken?

Jeremiah 18:15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense
to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient
paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;

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

Jeremiah 18:17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I
will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

Jeremiah 18:18 Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against
Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the
wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the
tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

Jeremiah 18:19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them
that contend with me.

Jeremiah 18:20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a
pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and
to turn away thy wrath from them.

Jeremiah 18:21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour
out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of
their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their
young men be slain by the sword in battle.

Jeremiah 18:22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a
troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid
snares for my feet.

Jeremiah 18:23 Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay
me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but
let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine
anger.

Jeremiah 19:1 Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and
take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;

Jeremiah 19:2 And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by
the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell
thee,

Jeremiah 19:3 And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and
inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his
ears shall tingle.

Jeremiah 19:4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place,
and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their
fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with
the blood of innocents;

Jeremiah 19:5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their
sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake
it, neither came it into my mind:

Jeremiah 19:6 Therefore, behold, the days come, 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.

Jeremiah 19:7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in
this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies,
and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give
to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

Jeremiah 19:8 And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one
that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues
thereof.

Jeremiah 19:9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the
flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend
in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their
lives, shall straiten them.

Jeremiah 19:10 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that
go with thee.

Jeremiah 19:11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even
so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel,
that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till
there be no place to bury.

Jeremiah 19:12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the
inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:

Jeremiah 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
whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have
poured out drink offerings unto other gods.

Jeremiah 19:14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him
to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD'S house; and said to all
the people,

Jeremiah 19:15 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I
will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have
pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might
not hear my words.

Jeremiah 20:1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief
governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these
things.

Jeremiah 20:2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the
stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the
LORD.

Jeremiah 20:3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth
Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not
called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.

Jeremiah 20:4 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to
thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their
enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the
hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and
shall slay them with the sword.

Jeremiah 20:5 Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all
the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the
treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies,
which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.

Jeremiah 20:6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go
into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and
shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied
lies.

Jeremiah 20:7 O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art
stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh
me.

Jeremiah 20:8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil;
because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision,
daily.

Jeremiah 20:9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any
more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in
my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

Jeremiah 20:10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report,
say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting,
saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and
we shall take our revenge on him.

Jeremiah 20:11 But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore
my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be
greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall
never be forgotten.

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

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

Jeremiah 20:14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein
my mother bare me be blessed.

Jeremiah 20:15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A
man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.

Jeremiah 20:16 And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew,
and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at
noontide;

Jeremiah 20:17 Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might
have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.

Jeremiah 20:18 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and
sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

Jeremiah 21:1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king
Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of
Maaseiah the priest, saying,

Jeremiah 21:2 Inquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with
us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.

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

Jeremiah 21:4 Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back
the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king
of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls,
and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.

Jeremiah 21:5 And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand
and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.

Jeremiah 21:6 And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and
beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.

Jeremiah 21:7 And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of
Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city
from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into
the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge
of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

Jeremiah 21:8 And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD;
Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.

Jeremiah 21:9 He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by
the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the
Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for
a prey.

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

Jeremiah 21:11 And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the
word of the LORD;

Jeremiah 21:12 O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in
the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor,
lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of
the evil of your doings.

Jeremiah 21:13 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and
rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us?
or who shall enter into our habitations?

Jeremiah 21:14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,
saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall
devour all things round about it.

Jeremiah 22:1 Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of
Judah, and speak there this word,

Jeremiah 22:2 And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that
sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that
enter in by these gates:

Jeremiah 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 wrong, do
no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed
innocent blood in this place.

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

Jeremiah 22:5 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith
the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.

Jeremiah 22:6 For thus saith the LORD unto the king's house of Judah; Thou
art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a
wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.

Jeremiah 22:7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his
weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the
fire.

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

Jeremiah 22:9 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the
covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.

Jeremiah 22:10 Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore
for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native
country.

Jeremiah 22:11 For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah
king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth
out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:

Jeremiah 22:12 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him
captive, and shall see this land no more.

Jeremiah 22:13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and
his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and
giveth him not for his work;

Jeremiah 22:14 That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers,
and cutteth him out windows; and it is ceiled with cedar, and painted with
vermilion.

Jeremiah 22:15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did
not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was
well with him?

Jeremiah 22:16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well
with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 22:17 But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy
covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for
violence, to do it.

Jeremiah 22:18 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning 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!

Jeremiah 22:19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast
forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

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

Jeremiah 22:21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will
not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my
voice.

Jeremiah 22:22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall
go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all
thy wickedness.

Jeremiah 22:23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars,
how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman
in travail!

Jeremiah 22:24 As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim
king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee
thence;

Jeremiah 22:25 And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy
life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

Jeremiah 22:26 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into
another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.

Jeremiah 22:27 But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither
shall they not return.

Jeremiah 22:28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel
wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are
cast into a land which they know not?

Jeremiah 22:29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.

Jeremiah 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
upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.

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

Jeremiah 23:2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the
pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away,
and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your
doings, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 23:3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries
whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they
shall be fruitful and increase.

Jeremiah 23:4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them:
and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking,
saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto
David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall
execute judgment and justice in the earth.

Jeremiah 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell
safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Jeremiah 23:7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they
shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel
out of the land of Egypt;

Jeremiah 23:8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed
of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries
whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

Jeremiah 23:9 Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my
bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome,
because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.

Jeremiah 23:10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing
the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and
their course is evil, and their force is not right.

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

Jeremiah 23:12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in
the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil
upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

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

Jeremiah 23:14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible
thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands
of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them
unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

Jeremiah 23:15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the
prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the
water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth
into all the land.

Jeremiah 23:16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of
the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision
of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.

Jeremiah 23:17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said,
Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after
