Jeremiah 7 (WEBP)

[1] The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
[2] “Stand in the gate of Yahweh’s house, and proclaim this word there, and say, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship Yahweh.’ ”
[3] Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
[4] Don’t trust in lying words, saying, ‘Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple, are these.’
[5] For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
[6] if you don’t oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and don’t shed innocent blood in this place, and don’t walk after other gods to your own hurt,
[7] then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forever more.
[8] Behold, you trust in lying words that can’t profit.
[9] Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,
[10] then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered,’ that you may do all these abominations?
[11] Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it,” says Yahweh.
[12] “But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
[13] Now, because you have done all these works,” says Yahweh, “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you didn’t hear; and I called you, but you didn’t answer;
[14] therefore I will do to the house which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
[15] I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole offspring§ of Ephraim.
[16] “Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up a cry or prayer for them or make intercession to me; for I will not hear you.
[17] Don’t you see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
[18] The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
[19] Do they provoke me to anger?” says Yahweh. “Don’t they provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?”
[20] Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, my anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, on man, on animal, on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and will not be quenched.”
[21] Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat meat.
[22] For I didn’t speak to your fathers or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices;
[23] but this thing I commanded them, saying, ‘Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. Walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’
[24] But they didn’t listen or turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
[25] Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.
[26] Yet they didn’t listen to me or incline their ear, but made their neck stiff. They did worse than their fathers.
[27] “You shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.
[28] You shall tell them, ‘This is the nation that has not listened to Yahweh their God’s voice, nor received instruction. Truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.’
[29] Cut off your hair, and throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for Yahweh has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
[30] “For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight,” says Yahweh. “They have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
[31] They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I didn’t command, nor did it come into my mind.
[32] Therefore behold, the days come”, says Yahweh, “that it will no more be called ‘Topheth’ or ‘The valley of the son of Hinnom’, but ‘The valley of Slaughter’; for they will bury in Topheth until there is no place to bury.
[33] The dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth. No one will frighten them away.
[34] Then I will 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 will become a waste.”

Jeremiah 7 (KJVS)

[1] The word H1697 that came to Jeremiah H3414 from the LORD H3068, saying H559 (8800),
[2] Stand H5975 (8798) in the gate H8179 of the LORD’S H3068 house H1004, and proclaim H7121 (8804) there this word H1697, and say H559 (8804), Hear H8085 (8798) the word H1697 of the LORD H3068, all [ye of] Judah H3063, that enter in H935 (8802) at these gates H8179 to worship H7812 (8692) the LORD H3068.
[3] Thus saith H559 (8804) the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635, the God H430 of Israel H3478, Amend H3190 (8685) your ways H1870 and your doings H4611, and I will cause you to dwell H7931 (8762) in this place H4725.
[4] Trust H982 (8799) ye not in lying H8267 words H1697, saying H559 (8800), The temple H1964 of the LORD H3068, The temple H1964 of the LORD H3068, The temple H1964 of the LORD H3068, [are] these.
[5] For if ye throughly H3190 (8687) amend H3190 (8686) your ways H1870 and your doings H4611; if ye throughly H6213 (8800) execute H6213 (8799) judgment H4941 between a man H376 and his neighbour H7453;
[6] [If] ye oppress H6231 (8799) not the stranger H1616, the fatherless H3490, and the widow H490, and shed H8210 (8799) not innocent H5355 blood H1818 in this place H4725, neither walk H3212 (8799) after H310 other H312 gods H430 to your hurt H7451:
[7] Then will I cause you to dwell H7931 (8765) in this place H4725, in the land H776 that I gave H5414 (8804) to your fathers H1, for H5704 ever H5769 and ever H5769.
[8] Behold, ye trust H982 (8802) in lying H8267 words H1697, that cannot profit H3276 (8687).
[9] Will ye steal H1589 (8800), murder H7523 (8800), and commit adultery H5003 (8800), and swear H7650 (8736) falsely H8267, and burn incense H6999 (8763) unto Baal H1168, and walk H1980 (8800) after H310 other H312 gods H430 whom ye know H3045 (8804) not;
[10] And come H935 (8804) and stand H5975 (8804) before H6440 me in this house H1004, which is called H7121 (8738) by my name H8034, and say H559 (8804), We are delivered H5337 (8738) to do H6213 (8800) all these abominations H8441?
[11] Is this house H1004, which is called H7121 (8738) by my name H8034, become a den H4631 of robbers H6530 in your eyes H5869? Behold, even I have seen H7200 (8804) [it], saith H5002 (8803) the LORD H3068.
[12] But go H3212 (8798) ye now unto my place H4725 which [was] in Shiloh H7887, where I set H7931 (8765) my name H8034 at the first H7223, and see H7200 (8798) what I did H6213 (8804) to it for H6440 the wickedness H7451 of my people H5971 Israel H3478.
[13] And now, because ye have done H6213 (8800) all these works H4639, saith H5002 (8803) the LORD H3068, and I spake H1696 (8762) unto you, rising up early H7925 (8687) and speaking H1696 (8763), but ye heard H8085 (8804) not; and I called H7121 (8799) you, but ye answered H6030 (8804) not;
[14] Therefore will I do H6213 (8804) unto [this] house H1004, which is called H7121 (8738) by my name H8034, wherein ye trust H982 (8802), and unto the place H4725 which I gave H5414 (8804) to you and to your fathers H1, as I have done H6213 (8804) to Shiloh H7887.
[15] And I will cast you out H7993 (8689) of my sight H6440, as I have cast out H7993 (8689) all your brethren H251, [even] the whole seed H2233 of Ephraim H669.
[16] Therefore pray H6419 (8691) not thou for this people H5971, neither lift up H5375 (8799) cry H7440 nor prayer H8605 for them H1157, neither make intercession H6293 (8799) to me: for I will not hear H8085 (8802) thee.
[17] Seest H7200 (8802) thou not what they do H6213 (8802) in the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 and in the streets H2351 of Jerusalem H3389?
[18] The children H1121 gather H3950 (8764) wood H6086, and the fathers H1 kindle H1197 (8764) the fire H784, and the women H802 knead H3888 (8802) [their] dough H1217, to make H6213 (8800) cakes H3561 to the queen H4446 of heaven H8064, and to pour out H5258 (8687) drink offerings H5262 unto other H312 gods H430, that they may provoke me to anger H3707 (8687).
[19] Do they provoke me to anger H3707 (8688)? saith H5002 (8803) the LORD H3068: [do they] not [provoke] themselves to the confusion H1322 of their own faces H6440?
[20] Therefore thus saith H559 (8804) the Lord H136 GOD H3069; Behold, mine anger H639 and my fury H2534 shall be poured out H5413 (8737) upon this place H4725, upon man H120, and upon beast H929, and upon the trees H6086 of the field H7704, and upon the fruit H6529 of the ground H127; and it shall burn H1197 (8804), and shall not be quenched H3518 (8799).
[21] Thus saith H559 (8804) the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635, the God H430 of Israel H3478; Put H5595 (8798) your burnt offerings H5930 unto your sacrifices H2077, and eat H398 (8798) flesh H1320.
[22] For I spake H1696 (8765) not unto your fathers H1, nor commanded H6680 (8765) them in the day H3117 that I brought them out H3318 (8687) of the land H776 of Egypt H4714, concerning H1697 burnt offerings H5930 or sacrifices H2077:
[23] But this thing H1697 commanded H6680 (8765) I them, saying H559 (8800), Obey H8085 (8798) my voice H6963, and I will be your God H430, and ye shall be my people H5971: and walk H1980 (8804) ye in all the ways H1870 that I have commanded H6680 (8762) you, that it may be well H3190 (8799) unto you.
[24] But they hearkened H8085 (8804) not, nor inclined H5186 (8689) their ear H241, but walked H3212 (8799) in the counsels H4156 [and] in the imagination H8307 of their evil H7451 heart H3820, and went backward H268, and not forward H6440.
[25] Since the day H3117 that your fathers H1 came forth out H3318 (8804) of the land H776 of Egypt H4714 unto this day H3117 I have even sent H7971 (8799) unto you all my servants H5650 the prophets H5030, daily H3117 rising up early H7925 (8687) and sending H7971 (8800) [them]:
[26] Yet they hearkened H8085 (8804) not unto me, nor inclined H5186 (8689) their ear H241, but hardened H7185 (8686) their neck H6203: they did worse H7489 (8689) than their fathers H1.
[27] Therefore thou shalt speak H1696 (8765) all these words H1697 unto them; but they will not hearken H8085 (8799) to thee: thou shalt also call H7121 (8804) unto them; but they will not answer H6030 (8799) thee.
[28] But thou shalt say H559 (8804) unto them, This [is] a nation H1471 that obeyeth H8085 (8804) not the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 their God H430, nor receiveth H3947 (8804) correction H4148: truth H530 is perished H6 (8804), and is cut off H3772 (8738) from their mouth H6310.
[29] Cut off H1494 (8798) thine hair H5145, [O Jerusalem], and cast [it] away H7993 (8685), and take up H5375 (8798) a lamentation H7015 on high places H8205; for the LORD H3068 hath rejected H3988 (8804) and forsaken H5203 (8799) the generation H1755 of his wrath H5678.
[30] For the children H1121 of Judah H3063 have done H6213 (8804) evil H7451 in my sight H5869, saith H5002 (8803) the LORD H3068: they have set H7760 (8804) their abominations H8251 in the house H1004 which is called H7121 (8738) by my name H8034, to pollute H2930 (8763) it.
[31] And they have built H1129 (8804) the high places H1116 of Tophet H8612, which [is] in the valley H1516 of the son H1121 of Hinnom H2011, to burn H8313 (8800) their sons H1121 and their daughters H1323 in the fire H784; which I commanded H6680 (8765) [them] not, neither came H5927 (8804) it into my heart H3820.
[32] Therefore, behold, the days H3117 come H935 (8802), saith H5002 (8803) the LORD H3068, that it shall no more be called H559 (8735) Tophet H8612, nor the valley H1516 of the son H1121 of Hinnom H2011, but the valley H1516 of slaughter H2028: for they shall bury H6912 (8804) in Tophet H8612, till there be no H369 place H4725.
[33] And the carcases H5038 of this people H5971 shall be meat H3978 for the fowls H5775 of the heaven H8064, and for the beasts H929 of the earth H776; and none shall fray [them] away H2729 (8688).
[34] Then will I cause to cease H7673 (8689) from the cities H5892 of Judah H3063, and from the streets H2351 of Jerusalem H3389, the voice H6963 of mirth H8342, and the voice H6963 of gladness H8057, the voice H6963 of the bridegroom H2860, and the voice H6963 of the bride H3618: for the land H776 shall be desolate H2723.

Young’s Literal Translation

Jeremiah 7 (YLT)

[1] The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
[2] Stand in the gate of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast proclaimed there this word, and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before Jehovah:
[3] Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
[4] Do not trust for yourselves Unto the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah are they!
[5] For, if ye do thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If ye do judgment thoroughly Between a man and his neighbour,
[6] Sojourner, fatherless, and widow, ye oppress not, And innocent blood do not shed in this place, And after other gods do not walk, for evil to yourselves,
[7] Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even unto age.
[8] Lo, ye are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
[9] Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving perfume to Baal, And going after other gods whom ye knew not.
[10] And ye have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My name is called, And have said, ‘We have been delivered,’ In order to do all these abominations.
[11] A den of burglars hath this house, On which My name is called, been in your eyes? Even I, lo, I have seen, an affirmation of Jehovah.
[12] But go ye, I pray you, Unto My place that is in Shiloh, Where I caused My name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedness of My people Israel.
[13] And now, because of your doing all these works, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I speak unto you, rising early and speaking, And ye have not hearkened, And I call you, and ye have not answered,
[14] I also to the house on which My name is called, In which ye are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, Have done, as I have done to Shiloh.
[15] And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brethren, The whole seed of Ephraim.
[16] And thou dost not pray for this people, Nor lift up for them crying and prayer, Nor intercede with Me, for I hear thee not.
[17] Art thou not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
[18] The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out libations to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
[19] Me are they provoking to anger? an affirmation of Jehovah, Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?
[20] Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, Mine anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it hath burned, and it is not quenched.
[21] Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Your burnt-offerings add to your sacrifices, And eat ye flesh.
[22] For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
[23] But this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And ye-ye are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
[24] And they have not hearkened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, In the stubbornness, of their evil heart, And are for backward, and not for forward.
[25] Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt till this day, I send to you all my servants the prophets, Daily rising early and sending,
[26] And they have not hearkened unto Me, Nor inclined their ear, and harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
[27] And thou hast spoken unto them all these words, And they do not hearken to thee, And thou hast called unto them, And they do not answer thee.
[28] And thou hast said unto them: This is the nation that hath not hearkened, To the voice of Jehovah its God, Nor have they accepted instruction, Perished hath stedfastness, Yea, it hath been cut off from their mouth.
[29] Cut off thy crown, and cast it away, And lift up on high places lamentation, For Jehovah hath rejected, And He leaveth the generation of His wrath.
[30] For the sons of Judah Have done the evil thing in Mine eyes, An affirmation of Jehovah, They have set their abominations in the house On which My name is called-to defile it,
[31] And have built the high places of Tophet, That are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
[32] Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more, ‘The Tophet,’ And ‘Valley of the son of Hinnom,’ But ‘Valley of the slaughter,’ And they have buried in Tophet-without place.
[33] And the carcase of this people hath been for food To a fowl of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
[34] And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land doth become a desolation!
