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 that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, ()
[2] Stand () in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim () there this word, and say, () Hear () the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in () at these gates to worship () the Lord.
[3] Thus saith () the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend () your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell () in this place.
[4] Trust () ye not in lying words, saying, () The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.
[5] For if ye throughly () amend () your ways and your doings; if ye throughly () execute () judgment between a man and his neighbour;
[6] if ye oppress () not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed () not innocent blood in this place, neither walk () after other gods to your hurt:
[7] then will I cause you to dwell () in this place, in the land that I gave () to your fathers, for ever and ever.
[8] Behold, ye trust () in lying words, that cannot profit. ()
[9] Will ye steal, () murder, () and commit adultery, () and swear () falsely, and burn incense () unto Baal, and walk () after other gods whom ye know () not;
[10] and come () and stand () before me in this house, which is called () by my name, and say, () We are delivered () to do () all these abominations?
[11] Is this house, which is called () by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen () it, saith () the Lord.
[12] But go () ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set () my name at the first, and see () what I did () to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
[13] And now, because ye have done () all these works, saith () the Lord, and I spake () unto you, rising up early () and speaking, () but ye heard () not; and I called () you, but ye answered () not;
[14] therefore will I do () unto this house, which is called () by my name, wherein ye trust, () and unto the place which I gave () to you and to your fathers, as I have done () to Shiloh.
[15] And I will cast you out () of my sight, as I have cast out () all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
[16] Therefore pray () not thou for this people, neither lift up () cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession () to me: for I will not hear () thee.
[17] Seest () thou not 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 () their dough, to make () cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out () drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. ()
[19] Do they provoke me to anger? () saith () the Lord: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
[20] Therefore thus saith () the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out () upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, () and shall not be quenched. ()
[21] Thus saith () the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Put () your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat () flesh.
[22] For I spake () not unto your fathers, nor commanded () them in the day that I brought them out () of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
[23] but this thing commanded () I them, saying, () Obey () my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk () ye in all the ways that I have commanded () you, that it may be well () unto you.
[24] But they hearkened () not, nor inclined () their ear, but walked () in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
[25] Since the day that your fathers came forth out () of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent () unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early () and sending () them:
[26] yet they hearkened () not unto me, nor inclined () their ear, but hardened () their neck: they did worse () than their fathers.
[27] Therefore thou shalt speak () all these words unto them; but they will not hearken () to thee: thou shalt also call () unto them; but they will not answer () thee.
[28] But thou shalt say () unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth () not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth () correction: truth is perished, () and is cut off () from their mouth.
[29] Cut off () thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, () and take up () a lamentation on high places; for the Lord hath rejected () and forsaken () the generation of his wrath.
[30] For the children of Judah have done () evil in my sight, saith () the Lord: they have set () their abominations in the house which is called () by my name, to pollute () it.
[31] And they have built () the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn () their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded () them not, neither came () it into my heart.
[32] Therefore, behold, the days come, () saith () the Lord, that it shall no more be called () Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury () in Tophet, till there be no place.
[33] And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away. ()
[34] Then will I 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 shall be desolate.
