Page 2 / 2 (Jer 3:19–Zep 2:15)
I thought, “How I long to make you my sons
and give you a desirable land,
the most beautiful inheritance of all the nations.”
I thought, “You will call me ‘My Father’
and never turn away from me.”
“How can you claim, ‘We are wise;
the law of the LORD is with us’?
In fact, the lying pen of scribes
has produced falsehood.
For a sound of lamentation is heard from Zion:
How devastated we are.
We are greatly ashamed,
for we have abandoned the land;
our dwellings have been torn down.
If you have raced with runners
and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble[fn] in a peaceful land,
what will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?
Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, how did you write all these words? At his dictation? ”[fn]
How can it[fn] rest
when the LORD has given it a command?
He has assigned it
against Ashkelon and the shore of the sea.
Mourn for him, all you surrounding nations,
everyone who knows his name.
Say, “How the mighty scepter is shattered,
the glorious staff! ”
“How broken it is! They wail! How Moab has turned his back! He is ashamed. Moab will become a laughingstock and a shock to all those around him.”
How the hammer of the whole earth
is cut down and smashed!
What a horror Babylon has become
among the nations!
How Sheshak[fn] has been captured,
the praise of the whole earth seized.
What a horror Babylon has become
among the nations!
How[fn] she sits alone,
the city once crowded with people!
She who was great among the nations
has become like a widow.
The princess among the provinces
has been put to forced labor.
How the Lord has overshadowed
Daughter Zion with his anger!
He has thrown down Israel’s glory
from heaven to earth.
He did not acknowledge his footstool
in the day of his anger.
How the gold has become tarnished,
the fine gold become dull!
The stones of the temple[fn] lie scattered
at the head of every street.
Zion’s precious children —
once worth their weight in pure gold —
how they are regarded as clay jars,
the work of a potter’s hands!
“Now as for you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, ‘You have said this: “Our transgressions and our sins are heavy on us, and we are wasting away because of them! How then can we survive? ” ’
How can I give you up, Ephraim?
How can I surrender you, Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?
I have had a change of heart;
my compassion is stirred!
If thieves came to you,
if marauders by night —
how ravaged you would be! —
wouldn’t they steal only what they wanted?
If grape harvesters came to you,
wouldn’t they leave a few grapes?
In that day one will take up a taunt against you
and lament mournfully, saying,
“We are totally ruined!
He measures out the allotted land of my people.
How he removes it from me!
He allots our fields to traitors.”
2. Jer 3:19–Zep 2:15
