Jeremiah 6:1 O ye children1121 of Benjamin,1144 gather yourselves to flee5756 out of the midst7130 of Jerusalem,3389 and blow8628 the trumpet7782 in Tekoa,8620 and set up5375 a sign4864 of fire in Bethhaccerem:1021 for evil7451 appeareth8259 out of the north,6828 and great1419 destruction.76672 I have likened1820 the daughter1323 of Zion6726 to a comely5116{Or, dwelling at home} and delicate6026woman.3 The shepherds7462 with their flocks5739 shall come935 unto her; they shall pitch8628their tents168 against her round about;5439 they shall feed7462 every one376 in his place.30274 Prepare6942 ye war4421 against her; arise,6965 and let us go up5927 at noon.6672 Woe188 unto us! for the day3117 goeth away,6437 for the shadows6752 of the evening6153 are stretched out.51865 Arise,6965 and let us go5927 by night,3915 and let us destroy7843 her palaces.759
Jeremiah 6:6 For thus hath the LORD3068 of hosts6635 said,559 Hew ye down3772 trees,6097 and cast8210 a mount5550{Or, pour out the engine of shot} against Jerusalem:3389 this is the city5892 to be visited;6485 she is wholly oppression6233 in the midst7130 of her.
7 As a fountain953 casteth out6979 her waters,4325 so she casteth out6979 her wickedness:7451 violence2555 and spoil7701 is heard8085 in her; before me6440 continually8548is grief2483 and wounds.43478 Be thou instructed,3256 O Jerusalem,3389 lest my soul5315 depart3363{Heb. be loosed or disjointed} from thee; lest I make7760 thee desolate,8077 a land776 not inhabited.3427
Jeremiah 6:9 Thus saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 They shall throughly5953 glean5953 the remnant7611 of Israel3478 as a vine:1612 turn back7725 thine hand3027 as a grapegatherer1219 into the baskets.555210 To whom shall I speak,1696 and give warning,5749 that they may hear?8085 behold, their ear241is uncircumcised,6189 and they cannot3201 hearken:7181 behold, the word1697 of the LORD3068 is unto them a reproach;2781 they have no delight2654 in it.
11 Therefore I am full4392 of the fury2534 of the LORD;3068 I am weary3811 with holding in:3557 I will pour it out8210 upon the children5768 abroad,2351 and upon the assembly5475 of young men970 together:3162 for even the husband376 with the wife802 shall be taken,3920 the aged2205 with himthatis full4390 of days.311712 And their houses1004 shall be turned5437 unto others,312withtheir fields7704 and wives802 together:3162 for I will stretch out5186 my hand3027 upon the inhabitants3427 of the land,776 saith5002 the LORD.306813 For from the least6996 of them even unto the greatest1419 of them every one is given1214 to covetousness;1215 and from the prophet5030 even unto the priest3548 every one dealeth6213 falsely.826714 They have healed7495 also the hurt7667{Heb. bruise or breach}ofthedaughter of my people5971 slightly,7043 saying,559 Peace,7965 peace;7965 when thereis no peace.796515 Were they ashamed3001 when they had committed6213 abomination?8441 nay,1571 they were not at all954 ashamed,954 neither1571 could3045 they blush:3637 therefore they shall fall5307 among them that fall:5307 at the time6256that I visit6485 them they shall be cast down,3782 saith559 the LORD.306816 Thus saith559 the LORD,3068 Stand5975 ye in the ways,1870 and see,7200 and ask7592 for the old5769 paths,5410 where is the good2896 way,1870 and walk3212 therein, and ye shall find4672 rest4771 for your souls.5315 But they said,559 We will not walk3212therein.17 Also I set6965 watchmen6822 over you, saying, Hearken7181 to the sound6963 of the trumpet.7782 But they said,559 We will not hearken.7181
Jeremiah 6:18 Therefore hear,8085 ye nations,1471 and know,3045 O congregation,5712 what is among them.
19 Hear,8085 O earth:776 behold, I will bring935 evil7451 upon this people,5971even the fruit6529 of their thoughts,4284 because they have not hearkened7181 unto my words,1697 nor to my law,8451 but rejected3988 it.
20 To what purpose cometh935 there to me incense3828 from Sheba,7614 and the sweet2896 cane7070 from a far4801 country?776 your burnt offerings5930are not acceptable,7522 nor your sacrifices2077 sweet6149 unto me.
21 Therefore thus saith559 the LORD,3068 Behold, I will lay5414 stumblingblocks4383 before this people,5971 and the fathers1 and the sons1121 together3162 shall fall3782 upon them; the neighbour7934 and his friend7453 shall perish.622 Thus saith559 the LORD,3068 Behold, a people5971 cometh935 from the north6828 country,776 and a great1419 nation1471 shall be raised5782 from the sides3411 of the earth.77623 They shall lay hold2388 on bow7198 and spear;3591 they are cruel,394 and have no mercy;7355 their voice6963 roareth1993 like the sea;3220 and they ride7392 upon horses,5483 set in array6186 as men376 for war4421 against thee, O daughter1323 of Zion.672624 We have heard8085 the fame8089 thereof: our hands3027 wax feeble:7503 anguish6869 hath taken hold2388 of us, and pain,2427 as of a woman in travail.320525 Go not forth3318 into the field,7704 nor walk3212 by the way;1870 for the sword2719 of the enemy341and fear4032is on every side.543926 O daughter1323 of my people,5971 gird2296thee with sackcloth,8242 and wallow6428 thyself in ashes:665 make6213 thee mourning,60asfor an only son,3173 most bitter8563 lamentation:4553 for the spoiler7703 shall suddenly6597 come935 upon us.
Jeremiah 6:27 I have set5414 thee for a tower969and a fortress4013 among my people,5971 that thou mayest know3045 and try974 their way.187028 They are all grievous5493 revolters,5637 walking1980 with slanders:7400theyare brass5178 and iron;1270 they are all corrupters.784329 The bellows4647 are burned,2787 the lead5777 is consumed8552 of the fire;800784 the founder6884 melteth6884 in vain:7723 for the wicked7451 are not plucked away.542330 Reprobate3988 silver3701{Or, refuse silver} shall men call7121 them, because the LORD3068 hath rejected3988 them.
