Note by BLB: Strong's entry lists the pronunciation of this word with the "b" sound. This is incorrect. The ב (bet) does not have a daghesh lene so it is pronounced with a "v" sound. This is why the transliteration has a bar under the "b" (ḇ).
Strong's Number H3820 matches the Hebrew לֵב (lēḇ),
which occurs 58 times in 51 verses in 'Jer'
in the WLC Hebrew.
Page 1 / 2 (Jer 3:10–Jer 49:22)
“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.
“I will give you shepherds who are loyal to me,[fn] and they will shepherd you with knowledge and skill.
“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.
“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.”
Wash the evil from your heart, Jerusalem,
so that you will be delivered.
How long will you harbor
malicious thoughts?
Your way and your actions
have brought this on you.
This is your punishment. It is very bitter,
because it has reached your heart!
“Hear this,
you foolish and senseless[fn] people.
They have eyes, but they don’t see.
They have ears, but they don’t hear.
“But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts.
They have turned aside and have gone away.
“Yet they didn’t listen or pay attention but followed their own advice and their own stubborn, evil heart. They went backward and not forward.
“Instead, they followed the stubbornness of their hearts and followed the Baals as their ancestors taught them.”
“Egypt, Judah, Edom, the Ammonites, Moab, and all the inhabitants of the desert who clip the hair on their temples.[fn] All these nations are uncircumcised, and the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.’ ”
“Yet they would not obey or pay attention; each one followed the stubbornness of his evil heart. So I brought on them all the curses of this covenant, because they had not done what I commanded them to do.”
But, LORD of Armies, who judges righteously,
who tests heart[fn] and mind,
let me see your vengeance on them,
for I have presented my case to you.
As for you, LORD, you know me; you see me.
You test whether my heart is with you.
Drag the wicked away like sheep to slaughter
and set them apart for the day of killing.
They have made it a desolation.
It mourns, desolate, before me.
All the land is desolate,
but no one takes it to heart.
“These evil people, who refuse to listen to me, who follow the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who have followed other gods to serve and bow in worship — they will be like this underwear, of no use at all.
But the LORD said to me, “These prophets are prophesying a lie in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a false vision, worthless divination, the deceit of their own minds.
“You did more evil than your ancestors. Look, each one of you was following the stubbornness of his evil heart, not obeying me.
The sin of Judah is inscribed
with an iron stylus.
With a diamond point
it is engraved on the tablet of their hearts
and on the horns of their[fn] altars,
This is what the LORD says:
Cursed is the person who trusts in mankind.
He makes human flesh his strength,
and his heart turns from the LORD.
The heart is more deceitful than anything else,
and incurable — who can understand it?
I, the LORD, examine the mind,
I test the heart[fn]
to give to each according to his way,
according to what his actions deserve.
“But they will say, ‘It’s hopeless. We will continue to follow our plans, and each of us will continue to act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’ ”
“They have built high places to Baal on which to burn their children in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, something I have never commanded or mentioned; I never entertained the thought.[fn]
I say, “I won’t mention him
or speak any longer in his name.”
But his message becomes a fire burning in my heart,
shut up in my bones.
I become tired of holding it in,
and I cannot prevail.
LORD of Armies, testing the righteous
and seeing the heart[fn] and mind,
let me see your vengeance on them,
for I have presented my case to you.
But you have eyes and a heart for nothing
except your own dishonest profit,
shedding innocent blood
and committing extortion and oppression.
Concerning the prophets:
My heart is broken within me,
and all my bones tremble.
I have become like a drunkard,
like a man overcome by wine,
because of the LORD,
because of his holy words.
This is what the LORD of Armies says: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are deluding you. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the LORD’s mouth.
“They keep on saying to those who despise me, ‘The LORD has spoken: You will have peace.’ They have said to everyone who follows the stubbornness of his heart, ‘No harm will come to you.’ ”
The LORD’s anger will not turn away
until he has completely fulfilled the purposes of his heart.
In time to come you will understand it clearly.
“How long will this continue in the minds of the prophets prophesying lies, prophets of the deceit of their own minds?
“I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God because they will return to me with all their heart.
Jacob’s leader will be one of them;
his ruler will issue from him.
I will invite him to me, and he will approach me,
for who would otherwise risk his life to approach me?
This is the LORD’s declaration.
The LORD’s burning anger will not turn back
until he has completely fulfilled the purposes of his heart.
In time to come you will understand it.
Set up road markers for yourself;
establish signposts!
Keep the highway in mind,
the way you have traveled.
Return, Virgin Israel!
Return to these cities of yours.
“Instead, this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days” — the LORD’s declaration. “I will put my teaching within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
“I will give them integrity of heart and action[fn] so that they will fear me always, for their good and for the good of their descendants after them.
“I will take delight in them to do what is good for them, and with all my heart and mind I will faithfully plant them in this land.
“As for the incense you burned in Judah’s cities and in Jerusalem’s streets — you, your ancestors, your kings, your officials, and the people of the land — did the LORD not remember them? He brought this to mind.
We have heard of Moab’s pride,
great pride, indeed —
his insolence, arrogance, pride,
and haughty heart.
“Therefore, my heart moans like flutes for Moab, and my heart moans like flutes for the people of Kir-heres. And therefore, the wealth he has gained has perished.
The towns have[fn] been captured,
and the strongholds seized.
In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors
will be like the heart of a woman with contractions.
