Jeremiah 11 (WEBP)

[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.’”

Jeremiah 11 (KJVS)

[1] The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, ()
[2] Hear () ye the words of this covenant, and speak () unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants () of Jerusalem;
[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,
[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:
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[9] And the Lord said () unto me, A conspiracy is found () among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants () of Jerusalem.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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. ()
[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. ()
[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.
[18] And the Lord hath given me knowledge () of it, and I know () it: then thou shewedst () me their doings.
[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. ()
[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.
[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:
[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:
[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 11 (BYZ)

[1] ο λογος ο γενομενος παρα κυριου προς ιερεμιαν λεγων
[2] ακουσατε τους λογους της διαθηκης ταυτης και λαλησεις προς ανδρας ιουδα και προς τους κατοικουντας ιερουσαλημ
[3] και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος ος ουκ ακουσεται των λογων της διαθηκης ταυτης
[4] ης ενετειλαμην τοις πατρασιν υμων εν ημερα η ανηγαγον αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου εκ καμινου της σιδηρας λεγων ακουσατε της φωνης μου και ποιησατε παντα οσα εαν εντειλωμαι υμιν και εσεσθε μοι εις λαον και εγω εσομαι υμιν εις θεον
[5] οπως στησω τον ορκον μου ον ωμοσα τοις πατρασιν υμων του δουναι αυτοις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι καθως η ημερα αυτη και απεκριθην και ειπα γενοιτο κυριε
[6] και ειπεν κυριος προς με αναγνωθι τους λογους τουτους εν πολεσιν ιουδα και εξωθεν ιερουσαλημ λεγων ακουσατε τους λογους της διαθηκης ταυτης και ποιησατε αυτους …
[8] και ουκ εποιησαν
[9] και ειπεν κυριος προς με ευρεθη συνδεσμος εν ανδρασιν ιουδα και εν τοις κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ
[10] επεστραφησαν επι τας αδικιας των πατερων αυτων των προτερον οι ουκ ηθελον εισακουσαι των λογων μου και ιδου αυτοι βαδιζουσιν οπισω θεων αλλοτριων του δουλευειν αυτοις και διεσκεδασαν οικος ισραηλ και οικος ιουδα την διαθηκην μου ην διεθεμην προς τους πατερας αυτων
[11] δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω επαγω επι τον λαον τουτον κακα εξ ων ου δυνησονται εξελθειν εξ αυτων και κεκραξονται προς με και ουκ εισακουσομαι αυτων
[12] και πορευσονται πολεις ιουδα και οι κατοικουντες ιερουσαλημ και κεκραξονται προς τους θεους οις αυτοι θυμιωσιν αυτοις μη σωσουσιν αυτους εν καιρω των κακων αυτων
[13] οτι κατ αριθμον των πολεων σου ησαν θεοι σου ιουδα και κατ αριθμον εξοδων της ιερουσαλημ εταξατε βωμους θυμιαν τη βααλ
[14] και συ μη προσευχου περι του λαου τουτου και μη αξιου περι αυτων εν δεησει και προσευχη οτι ουκ εισακουσομαι εν τω καιρω εν ω επικαλουνται με εν καιρω κακωσεως αυτων
[15] τι η ηγαπημενη εν τω οικω μου εποιησεν βδελυγμα μη ευχαι και κρεα αγια αφελουσιν απο σου τας κακιας σου η τουτοις διαφευξη
[16] ελαιαν ωραιαν ευσκιον τω ειδει εκαλεσεν κυριος το ονομα σου εις φωνην περιτομης αυτης ανηφθη πυρ επ αυτην μεγαλη η θλιψις επι σε ηχρεωθησαν οι κλαδοι αυτης
[17] και κυριος ο καταφυτευσας σε ελαλησεν επι σε κακα αντι της κακιας οικου ισραηλ και οικου ιουδα οτι εποιησαν εαυτοις του παροργισαι με εν τω θυμιαν αυτους τη βααλ
[18] κυριε γνωρισον μοι και γνωσομαι τοτε ειδον τα επιτηδευματα αυτων
[19] εγω δε ως αρνιον ακακον αγομενον του θυεσθαι ουκ εγνων επ εμε ελογισαντο λογισμον πονηρον λεγοντες δευτε και εμβαλωμεν ξυλον εις τον αρτον αυτου και εκτριψωμεν αυτον απο γης ζωντων και το ονομα αυτου ου μη μνησθη ετι
[20] κυριε κρινων δικαια δοκιμαζων νεφρους και καρδιας ιδοιμι την παρα σου εκδικησιν εξ αυτων οτι προς σε απεκαλυψα το δικαιωμα μου
[21] δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος επι τους ανδρας αναθωθ τους ζητουντας την ψυχην μου τους λεγοντας ου μη προφητευσης επι τω ονοματι κυριου ει δε μη αποθανη εν ταις χερσιν ημων
[22] ιδου εγω επισκεψομαι επ αυτους οι νεανισκοι αυτων εν μαχαιρα αποθανουνται και οι υιοι αυτων και αι θυγατερες αυτων τελευτησουσιν εν λιμω
[23] και εγκαταλειμμα ουκ εσται αυτων οτι επαξω κακα επι τους κατοικουντας εν αναθωθ εν ενιαυτω επισκεψεως αυτων
