[1] The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying, [2] “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; [3] and say to them, Yahweh, the God of Israel says: ‘Cursed is the man who doesn’t hear the words of this covenant, [4] which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace,’ saying, ‘Obey my voice and do them, according to all which I command you; so you shall be my people, and I will be your God; [5] that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as it is today.”Then I answered, and said, “Amen, Yahweh.” [6] Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant, and do them. [7] For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, “Obey my voice.” [8] Yet they didn’t obey, nor turn their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of their evil heart. Therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn’t do them.’” [9] Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. [10] They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone 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. [11] Therefore Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on them which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not listen to them. [12] Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble. [13] For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.’ [14] “Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.
[15] What has my beloved to do in my house,
since she has behaved lewdly with many,
and the holy flesh has passed from you?
When you do evil,
then you rejoice.” [16] Yahweh called your name, “A green olive tree,
beautiful with goodly fruit.”
With the noise of a great roar he has kindled fire on it,
and its branches are broken. [17] For Yahweh of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal. [18] Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then you showed me their doings. [19] But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. I didn’t know that they had devised plans against me, saying,
“Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit,
and let’s cut him off from the land of the living,
that his name may be no more remembered.”
[20] But, Yahweh of Armies, who judges righteously,
who tests the heart and the mind,
I will see your vengeance on them;
for to you I have revealed my cause. [21] “Therefore Yahweh says concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy in Yahweh’s name, that you not die by our hand’— [22] therefore Yahweh of Armies says, ‘Behold, I will punish them. The young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by famine. [23] There will be no remnant to them, for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.’”
King James Version

The Covenant Recalled

[1] The word H1697 that came to Jeremiah H3414 from the Lord, H3068 saying, H559 [2] Hear H8085 H853 ye the words H1697 of this covenant, H1285 and speak H1696 unto H413 the men H376 of Judah, H3063 and to the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem; H3389 [3] and say H559 thou unto them, Thus saith H559 the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel; H3478 Cursed H779 be the man H376 that obeyeth H8085 H853 not H3808 the words H1697 of this covenant, H1285 [4] which H834 I commanded H6680 H853 your fathers H1 in the day H3117 that I brought them forth H3318 out of the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 from the iron H1270 furnace, H3564 saying, H559 Obey H8085 my voice, H6963 and do H6213 them, according to all which I command H6680 you: so shall ye be my people, H5971 and I will be your God: H430 [5] that I may perform H6965 H853 the oath H7621 which H834 I have sworn H7650 unto your fathers, H1 to give H5414 them a land H776 flowing H2100 with milk H2461 and honey, H1706 as it is this day. H3117 Then answered H6030 I, and said, H559 So be it, H543§ O Lord. H3068 [6] Then the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Proclaim H7121 all H3605 these words H1697 in the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and in the streets H2351 of Jerusalem, H3389 saying, H559 Hear H8085 ye the words H1697 of this covenant, H1285 and do H6213 them. [7] For H3588 I earnestly H5749 protested H5749 unto H5704 your fathers H1 in the day H3117 that I brought them up H5927 out of the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 even unto this day, H3117 rising early H7925 and protesting, H5749 saying, H559 Obey H8085 my voice. H6963 [8] Yet they obeyed H8085 not, nor inclined H5186 H853 their ear, H241 but walked H3212 every H3605 one H376 in the imagination H8307§ of their evil H7451 heart: H3820 therefore I will bring H935 upon H5921 them all the words H1697 of this covenant, H1285 which H834 I commanded H6680 them to do; H6213 but they did H6213 them not. [9] And the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, A conspiracy H7195 is found H4672 among the men H376 of Judah, H3063 and among the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem. H3389 [10] They are turned back H7725 to the iniquities H5771 of their forefathers, H7223 H1 which H834 refused H3985 to hear H8085 H853 my words; H1697 and they went H1980 after H310 other H312 gods H430 to serve H5647 them: the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and the house H1004 of Judah H3063 have broken H6565 H853 my covenant H1285 which H834 I made H3772 with H854 their fathers. H1 [11] Therefore thus saith H559 the Lord, H3068 Behold, I will bring H935 evil H7451 upon them, which they shall not be able H3201 to escape; H3318§ and though they shall cry H2199 unto H413 me, I will not hearken H8085 unto them. [12] Then shall the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 and inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 go, H1980 and cry H2199 unto the gods H430 unto whom they offer incense: H6999 but they shall not save H3467 them at all H3467 in the time H6256 of their trouble. H7451§ [13] For according to the number H4557 of thy cities H5892 were thy gods, H430 O Judah; H3063 and according to the number H4557 of the streets H2351 of Jerusalem H3389 have ye set up H7760 altars H4196 to that shameful§ thing, H1322 even altars H4196 to burn incense H6999 unto Baal. H1168 [14] Therefore pray H6419 not thou for this people, H5971 neither lift up H5375 a cry H7440 or prayer H8605 for H3588 them: for I will not hear H8085 them in the time H6256 that they cry H7121 unto H413 me for their trouble. H7451§ [15] What H4100 hath my beloved H3039 to do in mine house, H1004§ seeing she hath wrought H6213 lewdness H4209 with many, H7227 and the holy H6944 flesh H1320 is passed H5674 from thee? when thou doest evil, H7451§ then H227 thou rejoicest. H5937 [16] The Lord H3068 called H7121 thy name, H8034 A green H7488 olive tree, H2132 fair, H3303 and of goodly H8389 fruit: H6529 with the noise H6963 of a great H1419 tumult H1999 he hath kindled H3341 fire H784 upon H5921 it, and the branches H1808 of it are broken. H7489 [17] For the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 that planted H5193 thee, hath pronounced H1696 evil H7451 against thee, for H1558 the evil H7451 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and of the house H1004 of Judah, H3063 which H834 they have done H6213 against themselves to provoke me to anger H3707 in offering incense H6999 unto Baal. H1168

A Plot Against the Prophet

[18] And the Lord H3068 hath given me knowledge H3045 of it, and I know H3045 it: then thou shewedst H7200 me their doings. H4611 [19] But I was like a lamb H3532 or an ox H441 that is brought H2986 to the slaughter; H2873 and I knew H3045 not H3808 that they had devised H2803 devices H4284 against me, saying, Let us destroy H7843 the tree H6086 with the fruit H3899 thereof,§ and let us cut him off H3772 from the land H776 of the living, H2416 that his name H8034 may be no more remembered. H2142 [20] But, O Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 that judgest H8199 righteously, H6664 that triest H974 the reins H3629 and the heart, H3820 let me see H7200 thy vengeance H5360 on them: for unto thee have I revealed H1540 H853 my cause. H7379 [21] Therefore thus saith H559 the Lord H3068 of the men H582 of Anathoth, H6068 that seek H1245 H853 thy life, H5315 saying, H559 Prophesy H5012 not H3808 in the name H8034 of the Lord, H3068 that thou die H4191 not H3808 by our hand: H3027 [22] therefore thus saith H559 the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 Behold, I will punish H6485§ them: the young men H970 shall die H4191 by the sword; H2719 their sons H1121 and their daughters H1323 shall die H4191 by famine: H7458 [23] and there shall be no remnant H7611 of them: for I will bring H935 evil H7451 upon the men H582 of Anathoth, H6068 even the year H8141 of their visitation.
