Page 1 / 13 (Jer 1:2–Jer 5:3)
The word of the LORD came to him in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah.
Then the LORD said to me:
Do not say, “I am only a youth,”
for you will go to everyone I send you to
and speak whatever I tell you.
Do not be afraid of anyone,
for I will be with you to rescue you.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
Then the LORD reached out his hand, touched my mouth, and told me:
I have now filled your mouth with my words.
Then the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “What do you see, Jeremiah? ”
I replied, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
The LORD said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I watch over[fn] my word to accomplish it.”
Again the word of the LORD came to me asking, “What do you see? ”
And I replied, “I see a boiling pot, its lip tilted from the north to the south.”
Then the LORD said to me, “Disaster will be poured out[fn] from the north on all who live in the land.
“Indeed, I am about to summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north.”
This is the LORD’s declaration.
They will come, and each king will set up his throne
at the entrance to Jerusalem’s gates.
They will attack all her surrounding walls
and all the other cities of Judah.
“They will fight against you but never prevail over you, since I am with you to rescue you.”
This is the LORD’s declaration.
“Go and announce directly to Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says:
I remember the loyalty of your youth,
your love as a bride —
how you followed me in the wilderness,
in a land not sown.
“Israel was holy to the LORD,
the firstfruits of his harvest.
All who ate of it found themselves guilty;
disaster came on them.”
This is the LORD’s declaration.
This is what the LORD says:
What fault did your ancestors find in me
that they went so far from me,
followed worthless idols,
and became worthless themselves?
They stopped asking, “Where is the LORD
who brought us from the land of Egypt,
who led us through the wilderness,
through a land of deserts and ravines,
through a land of drought and darkness,[fn]
a land no one traveled through
and where no one lived? ”
The priests quit asking, “Where is the LORD? ”
The experts in the law no longer knew me,
and the rulers rebelled against me.
The prophets prophesied by[fn] Baal
and followed useless idols.
Therefore, I will bring a case against you again.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
I will bring a case against your children’s children.
Be appalled at this, heavens;
be shocked and utterly desolated!
This is the LORD’s declaration.
Have you not brought this on yourself
by abandoning the LORD your God
while he was leading you along the way?
Your own evil will discipline you;
your own apostasies will reprimand you.
Recognize[fn] how evil and bitter it is
for you to abandon the LORD your God
and to have no fear of me.
This is the declaration
of the Lord GOD of Armies.
Why do you bring a case against me?
All of you have rebelled against me.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
Evil generation,
pay attention to the word of the LORD!
Have I been a wilderness to Israel
or a land of dense darkness?
Why do my people claim,
“We will go where we want;[fn]
we will no longer come to you”?
Moreover, you will be led out from here
with your hands on your head
since the LORD has rejected those you trust;
you will not succeed even with their help.[fn]
In the days of King Josiah the LORD asked me, “Have you seen what unfaithful Israel has done? She has ascended every high hill and gone under every green tree to prostitute herself there.
“Yet in spite of all this, her treacherous sister Judah didn’t return to me with all her heart — only in pretense.”
This is the LORD’s declaration.
The LORD announced to me, “Unfaithful Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
“Go, proclaim these words to the north, and say,
‘Return, unfaithful Israel.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
I will not look on you with anger,[fn]
for I am unfailing in my love.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
I will not be angry forever.
“Only acknowledge your guilt —
you have rebelled against the LORD your God.
You have scattered your favors to strangers
under every green tree
and have not obeyed me.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
“ ‘Return, you faithless children — this is the LORD’s declaration — for I am your master,[fn] and I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.
“When you multiply and increase in the land, in those days — this is the LORD’s declaration — no one will say again, “The ark of the LORD’s covenant.” It will never come to mind, and no one will remember or miss it. Another one will not be made.[fn]
At that time Jerusalem will be called The LORD’s Throne, and all the nations will be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD in Jerusalem. They will cease to follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts.
However, as a woman may betray her lover,[fn]
so you have betrayed me, house of Israel.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
A sound is heard on the barren heights:
the children of Israel weeping and begging for mercy,
for they have perverted their way;
they have forgotten the LORD their God.
Return, you faithless children.
I will heal your unfaithfulness.
“Here we are, coming to you,
for you are the LORD our God.
“Surely, falsehood comes from the hills,
commotion from the mountains,
but the salvation of Israel
is only in the LORD our God.
“Let us lie down in our shame;
let our disgrace cover us.
We have sinned against the LORD our God,
both we and our ancestors,
from the time of our youth even to this day.
We have not obeyed the LORD our God.”
If you return,[fn] Israel —
this is the LORD’s declaration —
you will return to me,
if you remove your abhorrent idols
from my presence
and do not waver,
then you can swear, “As the LORD lives,”
in truth, justice, and righteousness,
and then the nations will be blessed[fn] by him
and will boast in him.
For this is what the LORD says to the men of Judah and Jerusalem:
Break up the unplowed ground;
do not sow among the thorns.
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD;
remove the foreskin of your hearts,
men of Judah and residents of Jerusalem.
Otherwise, my wrath will break out like fire
and burn with no one to extinguish it
because of your evil deeds.
Because of this, put on sackcloth;
mourn and wail,
for the LORD’s burning anger
has not turned away from us.
“On that day” — this is the LORD’s declaration — “the king and the officials will lose their courage. The priests will tremble in fear, and the prophets will be scared speechless.”
They have her surrounded
like those who guard a field,
because she has rebelled against me.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
I looked, and the fertile field was a wilderness.
All its cities were torn down
because of the LORD
and his burning anger.
For this is what the LORD says:
“The whole land will be a desolation,
but I will not finish it off.
