Jeremiah 11
11:1

The word1697 that came to Jeremiah3414 from Yahweh,3068 saying,559

11:2

Hear8085 ye the words1697 of this covenant,1285 and speak1696 unto the men376 of Judah,3063 and to the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem;3389

11:3

And say559 thou unto them, Thus saith559 Yahweh3068 Elohim430 of Israel;3478 Cursed779 be the man376 that obeyeth8085 not the words1697 of this covenant,1285

11:4

Which I commanded6680 your fathers1 in the day3117 that I brought them forth3318 out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 from the iron1270 furnace,3564 saying,559 Obey8085 my voice,6963 and do6213 them, according to all which I command6680 you: so shall ye be my people,5971 and I will be your Elohim:430

11:5

That I may perform6965 the oath7621 which I have sworn7650 unto your fathers,1 to give5414 them a land776 flowing2100 with milk2461 and honey,1706 as it is this day.3117 Then answered6030 I, and said,559 So be it,543 O Yahweh.3068

11:6

Then Yahweh3068 said559 unto me, Proclaim7121 all these words1697 in the cities5892 of Judah,3063 and in the streets2351 of Jerusalem,3389 saying,559 Hear8085 ye the words1697 of this covenant,1285 and do6213 them.

11:7

For I earnestly5749 protested5749 unto your fathers1 in the day3117 that I brought them up5927 out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 even unto this day,3117 rising early7925 and protesting,5749 saying,559 Obey8085 my voice.6963

11:8

Yet they obeyed8085 not, nor inclined5186 their ear,241 but walked3212 every one376 in the imagination8307 of their evil7451 heart:3820 therefore I will bring935 upon them all the words1697 of this covenant,1285 which I commanded6680 them to do;6213 but they did6213 them not.

11:9

And Yahweh3068 said559 unto me, A conspiracy7195 is found4672 among the men376 of Judah,3063 and among the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem.3389

11:10

They are turned back7725 to the iniquities5771 of their forefathers,7223 which refused3985 to hear8085 my words;1697 and they went1980 after310 other312 mighty ones430 to serve5647 them: the house1004 of Israel3478 and the house1004 of Judah3063 have broken6565 my covenant1285 which I made3772 with their fathers.1

11:11

Therefore thus saith559 Yahweh,3068 Behold, I will bring935 evil7451 upon them, which they shall not be able3201 to escape;3318 and though they shall cry2199 unto me, I will not hearken8085 unto them.

11:12

Then shall the cities5892 of Judah3063 and inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 go,1980 and cry2199 unto the mighty ones430 unto whom they offer incense:6999 but they shall not save3467 them at all3467 in the time6256 of their trouble.7451

11:13

For according to the number4557 of thy cities5892 were thy mighty ones,430 O Judah;3063 and according to the number4557 of the streets2351 of Jerusalem3389 have ye set up7760 altars4196 to that shameful1322 thing, even altars4196 to burn incense6999 unto Baal.1168

11:14

Therefore pray6419 not thou for this people,5971 neither lift up5375 a cry7440 or prayer8605 for them: for I will not hear8085 them in the time6256 that they cry7121 unto me for their trouble.7451

11:15

What hath my beloved3039 to do in mine house,1004 seeing she hath wrought6213 lewdness4209 with many,7227 and the holy6944 flesh1320 is passed5674 from thee? when thou doest evil,7451 then thou rejoicest.5937

11:16

Yahweh3068 called7121 thy name,8034 A green7488 olive tree,2132 fair,3303 and of goodly8389 fruit:6529 with the noise6963 of a great1419 tumult1999 he hath kindled3341 fire784 upon it, and the branches1808 of it are broken.7489

11:17

For Yahweh3068 of hosts,6635 that planted5193 thee, hath pronounced1696 evil7451 against thee, for1558 the evil7451 of the house1004 of Israel3478 and of the house1004 of Judah,3063 which they have done6213 against themselves to provoke me to anger3707 in offering incense6999 unto Baal.1168

11:18

And Yahweh3068 hath given me knowledge3045 of it, and I know3045 it: then thou shewedst7200 me their doings.4611

11:19

But I was like a lamb3532 or an ox441 that is brought2986 to the slaughter;2873 and I knew3045 not that they had devised2803 devices4284 against me, saying, Let us destroy7843 the tree6086 with the fruit3899 thereof, and let us cut him off3772 from the land776 of the living,2416 that his name8034 may be no more remembered.2142

11:20

But, O Yahweh3068 of hosts,6635 that judgest8199 righteously,6664 that triest974 the reins3629 and the heart,3820 let me see7200 thy vengeance5360 on them: for unto thee have I revealed1540 my cause.7379

11:21

Therefore thus saith559 Yahweh3068 of the men582 of Anathoth,6068 that seek1245 thy life,5315 saying,559 Prophesy5012 not in the name8034 of Yahweh,3068 that thou die4191 not by our hand:3027

11:22

Therefore thus saith559 Yahweh3068 of hosts,6635 Behold, I will punish6485 them: the young men970 shall die4191 by the sword;2719 their sons1121 and their daughters1323 shall die4191 by famine:7458

11:23

And there shall be no remnant7611 of them: for I will bring935 evil7451 upon the men582 of Anathoth,6068 even the year8141 of their visitation.6486
