Jeremiah 18:11 Now therefore go to, speak559 to the men376 of Judah,3063 and to the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 saying,559 Thus saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold, I frame3335 evil7451 against you, and devise2803 a device4284 against you: return7725 ye now every one376 from his evil7451 way,1870 and make your ways1870 and your doings4611 good.3190 cr 12 And they said,559 There is no hope:2976 but we will walk3212 after310 our own devices,4284 and we will every one376 do6213 the imagination8307 of his evil7451 heart.3820 cr 13 Therefore thus saith559 the LORD;3068 Ask7592 ye now among the heathen,1471 who hath heard8085 such things: the virgin1330 of Israel3478 hath done6213 a very3966 horrible thing.8186 cr 14 Will a man leave5800 the snow7950 of Lebanon3844 which cometh from the rock6697 of the field?7704 or shall the cold7119 flowing5140 waters4325 that come from another place2114 be forsaken?5428{Or, my fields for a rock, or for the snow of Lebanon? shall the running waters be forsaken for the strange cold waters?} cr 15 Because my people5971 hath forgotten7911 me, they have burned incense6999 to vanity,7723 and they have caused them to stumble3782 in their ways1870 from the ancient5769 paths,7635 7635 to walk3212 in paths,5410 in a way1870 not cast up;5549 cr 16 To make7760 their land776 desolate,8047 and a perpetual5769 hissing;8292 8292 every one that passeth5674 thereby shall be astonished,8074 and wag5110 his head.7218 cr 17 I will scatter6327 them as with an east6921 wind7307 before6440 the enemy;341 I will shew7200 them the back,6203 and not the face,6440 in the day3117 of their calamity.343 cr

Jeremiah 18:18 Then said559 they, Come,3212 and let us devise2803 devices4284 against Jeremiah;3414 for the law8451 shall not perish6 from the priest,3548 nor counsel6098 from the wise,2450 nor the word1697 from the prophet.5030 Come,3212 and let us smite5221 him with the tongue,3956{Or, for the tongue} and let us not give heed7181 to any of his words.1697 cr 19 Give heed7181 to me, O LORD,3068 and hearken8085 to the voice6963 of them that contend3401 with me. cr 20 Shall evil7451 be recompensed7999 for good?2896 for they have digged3738 a pit7745 for my soul.5315 Remember2142 that I stood5975 before6440 thee to speak1696 good2896 for them, and to turn away7725 thy wrath2534 from them. cr 21 Therefore deliver up5414 their children1121 to the famine,7458 and pour out5064 their blood{Heb. pours them out} by the force3027 of the sword;2719 and let their wives802 be bereaved7909 of their children, and be widows;490 and let their men582 be put2026 to death;4194 let their young men970 be slain5221 by the sword2719 in battle.4421 cr 22 Let a cry2201 be heard8085 from their houses,1004 when thou shalt bring935 a troop1416 suddenly6597 upon them: for they have digged3738 a pit7745 7882 to take3920 me, and hid2934 snares6341 for my feet.7272 cr 23 Yet, LORD,3068 thou knowest3045 all their counsel6098 against me to slay4194 me:{Heb. for death} forgive3722 not their iniquity,5771 neither blot out4229 their sin2403 from thy sight,6440 but let them be overthrown3782 before6440 thee; deal6213 thus with them in the time6256 of thine anger.639 cr
