Jeremiah 16:1 ¶ The word1697 of Yahweh3068 came also to me, saying,5592 You shall not take3947 a wife,802 neither shall you have sons1121 or daughters,1323 in this place.47253 For thus says559 Yahweh3068 concerning the sons1121 and concerning the daughters1323 who are born3205 in this place,4725 and concerning their mothers517 who bore3205 them, and concerning their fathers1 who became their father3209 in this land:7764 They shall die4191 grievous8463 deaths:4463 they shall not be lamented,5594 neither shall they be buried;6912 they shall be as dung1828 on the surface6440 of the ground;127 and they shall be consumed3615 by the sword,2719 and by famine;7458 and their dead bodies5038 shall be food3978 for the birds5775 of the sky,8064 and for the animals929 of the earth.7765 For thus says559 Yahweh,3068 Don't enter935 into the house1004 of mourning,4798 neither go3212 to lament,5594 neither bemoan5110 them; for I have taken away622 my peace7965 from this people,5971 says5002 Yahweh,3068 even loving kindness2617 and tender mercies.73566 Both great1419 and small6996 shall die4191 in this land;776 they shall not be buried,6912 neither shall men lament5594 for them, nor cut1413 themselves, nor make themselves bald7139 for them;
7 neither shall men break6536 bread for them in mourning,60 to comfort5162 them for the dead;4191 neither shall men give them the cup3563 of consolation8575 to drink8248 for their father1 or for their mother.5178 You shall not go935 into the house1004 of feasting4960 to sit3427 with them, to eat398 and to drink.83549 For thus says559 Yahweh3068 of Armies,6635 the God430 of Israel:3478 Behold, I will cause to cease7673 out of this place,4725 before your eyes5869 and in your days,3117 the voice6963 of mirth8342 and the voice6963 of gladness,8057 the voice6963 of the bridegroom2860 and the voice6963 of the bride.361810 It shall happen, when you shall show5046 this people5971 all these words,1697 and they shall tell559 you, Why has Yahweh3068 pronounced1696 all this great1419 evil7451 against us? or what is our iniquity?5771 or what is our sin2403 that we have committed2398 against Yahweh3068 our God?43011 Then you shall tell559 them, Because your fathers1 have forsaken5800 me, says5002 Yahweh,3068 and have walked3212 after310 other312 gods,430 and have served5647 them, and have worshiped7812 them, and have forsaken5800 me, and have not kept8104 my law;845112 and you have done6213 evil7489 more than your fathers;1 for, behold,2009 you walk1980 every one376 after310 the stubbornness8307 of his evil7451 heart,3820 so that you don't listen8085 to me:
13 therefore will I cast2904 you forth out of this land776 into the land776 that you have not known,3045 neither you nor your fathers;1 and there you shall serve5647 other312 gods430 day3119 and night;3915 for I will show5414 you no favor.259414 Therefore, behold, the days3117 come,935 says5002 Yahweh,3068 that it shall no more be said,559 As Yahweh3068 lives,2416 who brought up5927 the children1121 of Israel3478 out of the land776 of Egypt;471415 but, As Yahweh3068 lives,2416 who brought up5927 the children1121 of Israel3478 from the land776 of the north,6828 and from all the countries776 where he had driven5080 them. I will bring them again7725 into their land127 that I gave5414 to their fathers.116 Behold, I will send7971 for many7227 fishermen,1771 says5002 Yahweh,3068 and they shall fish1770 them up; and afterward310 I will send7971 for many7227 hunters,6719 and they shall hunt6679 them from every mountain,2022 and from every hill,1389 and out of the clefts5357 of the rocks.555317 For my eyes5869 are on all their ways;1870 they are not hidden5641 from my face,6440 neither is their iniquity5771 concealed6845 from5048 my eyes.586918 First7223 I will recompense7999 their iniquity5771 and their sin2403 double,4932 because they have polluted2490 my land776 with the carcasses5038 of their detestable8251 things, and have filled4390 my inheritance5159 with their abominations.844119 Yahweh,3068 my strength,5797 and my stronghold,5797 and my refuge4498 in the day3117 of affliction,6869 to you shall the nations1471 come935 from the ends657 of the earth,776 and shall say,559 Our fathers1 have inherited5157 nothing but lies,8267 vanity1892 and things in which there is no profit.327620 Shall a man120 make6213 to himself gods,430 which yet are no gods?43021 Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know,3045 this once6471 will I cause them to know3045 my hand3027 and my might;1369 and they shall know3045 that my name8034 is Yahweh.3068
