Jeremiah 17 (WEBP)

[1] “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond. It is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars.
[2] Even their children remember their altars and their Asherah poles by the green trees on the high hills.
[3] My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a plunder, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
[4] You, even of yourself, will discontinue from your heritage that I gave you. I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don’t know, for you have kindled a fire in my anger which will burn forever.”
[5] Yahweh says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, relies on strength of flesh, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
[6] For he will be like a bush in the desert, and will not see when good comes, but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, an uninhabited salt land.
[7] “Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.
[8] For he will be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes, but its leaf will be green, and will not be concerned in the year of drought. It won’t cease from yielding fruit.
[9] The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?
[10] “I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”
[11] As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool.
[12] A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
[13] Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be disappointed. Those who depart from me will be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters.
[14] Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved; for you are my praise.
[15] Behold, they ask me, “Where is Yahweh’s word? Let it be fulfilled now.”
[16] As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you. I haven’t desired the woeful day. You know. That which came out of my lips was before your face.
[17] Don’t be a terror to me. You are my refuge in the day of evil.
[18] Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but don’t let me be disappointed. Let them be dismayed, but don’t let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
[19] Yahweh said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
[20] Tell them, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, you kings of Judah, all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
[21] Yahweh says, “Be careful, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
[22] Don’t carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day. Don’t do any work, but make the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers.
[23] But they didn’t listen. They didn’t turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
[24] It will happen, if you diligently listen to me,” says Yahweh, “to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;
[25] then there will enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on David’s throne, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city will remain forever.
[26] They will come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the lowland, from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, sacrifices, meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving to Yahweh’s house.
[27] But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem. It will not be quenched.” ’ ”

Jeremiah 17 (KJVS)

[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;
[2] whilst their children remember () their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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. ()
[7] Blessed () is the man that trusteth () in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
[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.
[9] The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: () who can know () it?
[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.
[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.
[12] A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
[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.
[14] Heal () me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; () save () me, and I shall be saved: () for thou art my praise.
[15] Behold, they say () unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come () now.
[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.
[17] Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.
[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.
[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;
[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:
[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;
[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.
[23] But they obeyed () not, neither inclined () their ear, but made their neck stiff, () that they might not hear, () nor receive () instruction.
[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;
[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.
[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.
[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 17 (BYZ)

[5] επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος ος την ελπιδα εχει επ ανθρωπον και στηρισει σαρκα βραχιονος αυτου επ αυτον και απο κυριου αποστη η καρδια αυτου
[6] και εσται ως η αγριομυρικη η εν τη ερημω ουκ οψεται οταν ελθη τα αγαθα και κατασκηνωσει εν αλιμοις και εν ερημω εν γη αλμυρα ητις ου κατοικειται
[7] και ευλογημενος ο ανθρωπος ος πεποιθεν επι τω κυριω και εσται κυριος ελπις αυτου
[8] και εσται ως ξυλον ευθηνουν παρ υδατα και επι ικμαδα βαλει ριζας αυτου και ου φοβηθησεται οταν ελθη καυμα και εσται επ αυτω στελεχη αλσωδη εν ενιαυτω αβροχιας ου φοβηθησεται και ου διαλειψει ποιων καρπον
[9] βαθεια η καρδια παρα παντα και ανθρωπος εστιν και τις γνωσεται αυτον
[10] εγω κυριος εταζων καρδιας και δοκιμαζων νεφρους του δουναι εκαστω κατα τας οδους αυτου και κατα τους καρπους των επιτηδευματων αυτου
[11] εφωνησεν περδιξ συνηγαγεν α ουκ ετεκεν ποιων πλουτον αυτου ου μετα κρισεως εν ημισει ημερων αυτου εγκαταλειψουσιν αυτον και επ εσχατων αυτου εσται αφρων
[12] θρονος δοξης υψωμενος αγιασμα ημων
[13] υπομονη ισραηλ κυριε παντες οι καταλιποντες σε καταισχυνθητωσαν αφεστηκοτες επι της γης γραφητωσαν οτι εγκατελιπον πηγην ζωης τον κυριον
[14] ιασαι με κυριε και ιαθησομαι σωσον με και σωθησομαι οτι καυχημα μου συ ει
[15] ιδου αυτοι λεγουσι προς με που εστιν ο λογος κυριου ελθατω
[16] εγω δε ουκ εκοπιασα κατακολουθων οπισω σου και ημεραν ανθρωπου ουκ επεθυμησα συ επιστη τα εκπορευομενα δια των χειλεων μου προ προσωπου σου εστιν
[17] μη γενηθης μοι εις αλλοτριωσιν φειδομενος μου εν ημερα πονηρα
[18] καταισχυνθητωσαν οι διωκοντες με και μη καταισχυνθειην εγω πτοηθειησαν αυτοι και μη πτοηθειην εγω επαγαγε επ αυτους ημεραν πονηραν δισσον συντριμμα συντριψον αυτους
[19] ταδε λεγει κυριος βαδισον και στηθι εν πυλαις υιων λαου σου εν αις εισπορευονται εν αυταις βασιλεις ιουδα και εν αις εκπορευονται εν αυταις και εν πασαις ταις πυλαις ιερουσαλημ
[20] και ερεις προς αυτους ακουσατε λογον κυριου βασιλεις ιουδα και πασα ιουδαια και πασα ιερουσαλημ οι εισπορευομενοι εν ταις πυλαις ταυταις
[21] ταδε λεγει κυριος φυλασσεσθε τας ψυχας υμων και μη αιρετε βασταγματα εν τη ημερα των σαββατων και μη εκπορευεσθε ταις πυλαις ιερουσαλημ
[22] και μη εκφερετε βασταγματα εξ οικιων υμων εν τη ημερα των σαββατων και παν εργον ου ποιησετε αγιασατε την ημεραν των σαββατων καθως ενετειλαμην τοις πατρασιν υμων και ουκ ηκουσαν και ουκ εκλιναν το ους αυτων
[23] και εσκληρυναν τον τραχηλον αυτων υπερ τους πατερας αυτων του μη ακουσαι μου και του μη δεξασθαι παιδειαν
[24] και εσται εαν ακοη ακουσητε μου λεγει κυριος του μη εισφερειν βασταγματα δια των πυλων της πολεως ταυτης εν τη ημερα των σαββατων και αγιαζειν την ημεραν των σαββατων του μη ποιειν παν εργον
[25] και εισελευσονται δια των πυλων της πολεως ταυτης βασιλεις και αρχοντες καθημενοι επι θρονου δαυιδ και επιβεβηκοτες εφ αρμασιν και ιπποις αυτων αυτοι και οι αρχοντες αυτων ανδρες ιουδα και οι κατοικουντες ιερουσαλημ και κατοικισθησεται η πολις αυτη εις τον αιωνα
[26] και ηξουσιν εκ των πολεων ιουδα και κυκλοθεν ιερουσαλημ και εκ γης βενιαμιν και εκ της πεδινης και εκ του ορους και εκ της προς νοτον φεροντες ολοκαυτωματα και θυσιαν και θυμιαματα και μαναα και λιβανον φεροντες αινεσιν εις οικον κυριου
[27] και εσται εαν μη εισακουσητε μου του αγιαζειν την ημεραν των σαββατων του μη αιρειν βασταγματα και μη εισπορευεσθαι ταις πυλαις ιερουσαλημ εν τη ημερα των σαββατων και αναψω πυρ εν ταις πυλαις αυτης και καταφαγεται αμφοδα ιερουσαλημ και ου σβεσθησεται
