The word
that came to Jeremiah
from the LORD,
saying,
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.
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.

Trust
ye not in lying
words,
saying,
The temple
of the LORD,
The temple
of the LORD,
The temple
of the LORD,
are these.
For if ye throughly
amend
your ways
and your doings;
if ye throughly
execute
judgment
between a man
and his neighbour;

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:
Then will I cause you to dwell
in this place,
in the land
that I gave
to your fathers,
for
ever
and ever.
Behold, ye trust
in lying
words,
that cannot profit.
Will ye steal,
murder,
and commit adultery,
and swear
falsely,
and burn incense
unto Baal,
and walk
after
other
gods
whom ye know
not;
commit adultery

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?
say
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.
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.

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;
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.

And I will cast you out
of my sight,
as I have cast out
all your brethren,
even the whole seed
of Ephraim.
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.
Seest
thou not what they do
in the cities
of Judah
and in the streets
of Jerusalem?
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.

Do they provoke me to anger?
saith
the LORD:
do they not provoke themselves to the confusion
of their own faces?
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.

Thus saith
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel;
Put
your burnt offerings
unto your sacrifices,
and eat
flesh.
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:
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.
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.

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:
Yet they hearkened
not unto me, nor inclined
their ear,
but hardened
their neck:
they did worse
than their fathers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
