Now the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068 came ^H1961 to me saying ^H559,

Then I said ^H559, “Alas ^H162, Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068!

Behold ^H2009, I do not know ^H3045 how to speak ^H1696

Because ^H3588 I am a youth ^H5288.”

Then Yahweh ^H3068 sent ^H7971 forth His hand ^H3027 and touched ^H5060 my mouth ^H6310, and Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to me,

“Behold ^H2009, I have put ^H5414 My words ^H1697 in your mouth ^H6310.

Now the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068 came ^H1961 to me saying ^H559, “What ^H4100 do you see ^H7200, Jeremiah ^H3414?” And I said ^H559, “I see ^H7200 a rod ^H4731 of an [fn]almond ^H8247 tree ^H8247.”

Now the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068 came ^H1961 to me saying ^H559,

“What ^H4100 injustice ^H5766 did your fathers ^H1 find ^H4672 in Me,

That they went ^H7368 far ^H7368 from Me

And walked ^H1980 after ^H310 vanity ^H1892 and became ^H1891 vain ^H1891?

“The priests ^H3548 did not say ^H559, ‘Where ^H346 is Yahweh ^H3068?’

And those who handle ^H8610 the law ^H8451 did not know ^H3045 Me;

The [fn]shepherds ^H7462 also transgressed ^H6586 against Me,

And the prophets ^H5030 prophesied ^H5012 by Baal ^H1168

And walked ^H1980 after ^H310 things that did not profit ^H3276.

“For long ^H5769 ago ^H5769 [fn]I broke ^H7665 your yoke ^H5923

And tore ^H5423 off ^H5423 your bonds ^H4147;

But you said ^H559, ‘I will not serve ^H5647!’

For on every ^H3605 high ^H1364 hill ^H1389

And under ^H8478 every ^H3605 green ^H7488 tree ^H6086

You have lain ^H6808 down ^H6808 as a harlot ^H2181.

“How ^H349 can you say ^H559, ‘I am not defiled ^H2930;

I have not walked ^H1980 after ^H310 the Baals ^H1168’?

Look ^H7200 at your way ^H1870 in the valley ^H1516!

Know ^H3045 what ^H4100 you have done ^H6213!

You are a swift ^H7031 young ^H1072 camel ^H1072 entangling ^H8308 her ways ^H1870,

“Keep ^H4513 your feet ^H7272 from being barefoot ^H3182

And your throat ^H1627 from ^H4513 H4480 thirst ^H6773;

But you said ^H559, ‘It is [fn]hopeless ^H2976!

No ^H3808! For I have loved ^H157 strangers ^H2114,

And after ^H310 them I will walk ^H1980.’

Who say ^H559 to a tree ^H6086, ‘You are my father ^H1,’

And to a stone ^H68, ‘You gave ^H3205 me birth ^H3205.’

For they have turned ^H6437 their back ^H6203 to Me

And not their face ^H6440;

But in the time ^H6256 when their evil ^H7451 comes they will say ^H559,

‘Arise ^H6965 and save ^H3467 us.’

“O generation ^H1755, [fn]behold ^H7200 the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068.

Have I been ^H1961 a wilderness ^H4057 to Israel ^H3478

Or ^H518 a land ^H776 of thick ^H3991 darkness ^H3991?

Why ^H4069 do My people ^H5971 say ^H559, ‘We are free to roam ^H7300;

We will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 come ^H935 to You’?

Yet you said ^H559, ‘I am ^H5352 innocent ^H5352;

Surely ^H389 His anger ^H639 is turned ^H7725 away ^H7725 from me.’

Behold ^H2009, I will enter ^H8199 into ^H8199 judgment ^H8199 with you

Because ^H5921 you say ^H559, ‘I have not sinned ^H2398.’

God [fn]says ^H559, “If ^H2005 a husband ^H376 divorces ^H7971 his wife ^H802

And she goes ^H1980 from him

And belongs ^H1961 to another ^H312 man ^H376,

Will he still ^H5750 return ^H7725 to her?

Will not that land ^H776 be completely ^H2610 [fn]polluted ^H2610?

But you are a harlot ^H2181 with many ^H7227 [fn]lovers ^H7453;

Yet you turn ^H7725 to Me,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

Then Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to me in the days ^H3117 of Josiah ^H2977 the king ^H4428, “Have you seen ^H7200 what ^H834 faithless ^H4878 Israel ^H3478 did ^H6213? She went ^H1980 up on every ^H3605 high ^H1364 hill ^H2022 and under ^H8478 every ^H3605 green ^H7488 tree ^H6086, and she was a harlot ^H2181 there ^H8033.

And Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, “Faithless ^H4878 Israel ^H3478 has proved ^H6663 herself ^H5315 more ^H4480 righteous ^H6663 than ^H4480 treacherous ^H898 Judah ^H3063.

“Then I said ^H559,

‘How ^H349 I would set ^H7896 you among [fn]My sons ^H1121

And give ^H5414 you a pleasant ^H2532 land ^H776,

The most ^H6643 beautiful ^H6643 inheritance ^H5159 of the nations ^H1471!’

And I said ^H559, ‘You shall call ^H7121 Me, “My Father ^H1,”

And not turn ^H7725 away ^H7725 from following ^H310 Me.’

For thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 to the men ^H376 of Judah ^H3063 and to Jerusalem ^H3389,

“[fn]Break ^H5214 up your fallow ^H5215 ground ^H5215,

And do not sow ^H2232 among ^H413 thorns ^H6975.

Declare ^H5046 in Judah ^H3063 and make ^H8085 it heard ^H8085 in Jerusalem ^H3389 and say ^H559,

“Blow ^H8628 the trumpet ^H7782 in the land ^H776;

Call ^H7121 out ^H7121, make ^H4390 your voice full ^H4390, and say ^H559,

‘Gather ^H622 yourselves, and let us go ^H935

Into the fortified ^H4013 cities ^H5892.’

Then I said ^H559, “Ah ^H162, Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068! Surely ^H403 You have utterly ^H5378 deceived ^H5378 this ^H2088 people ^H5971 and Jerusalem ^H3389, saying ^H559, ‘You will have ^H1961 peace ^H7965’; whereas a sword ^H2719 touches ^H5060 the [fn]throat ^H5315.”

For thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“The whole ^H3605 land ^H776 shall be a desolation ^H8077,

Yet I will not execute ^H6213 a complete ^H3617 destruction ^H3617.

“And if ^H518 they say ^H559, ‘As Yahweh ^H3068 lives ^H2416,’

Then ^H3651 they swear ^H7650 to a lie ^H8267.”

Then I said ^H559, “They are only ^H389 the poor ^H1800;

They are ^H2973 foolish ^H2973;

For they do not know ^H3045 the way ^H1870 of Yahweh ^H3068

Or the legal judgment ^H4941 of their God ^H430.

They have dealt ^H3584 falsely ^H3584 about Yahweh ^H3068

And said ^H559, “[fn]Not He;

Calamity ^H7451 will not come ^H935 on us,

And we will not see ^H7200 sword ^H2719 or famine ^H7458.

Therefore ^H3651, thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068, the God ^H430 of hosts ^H6635,

“Because ^H3282 you have spoken ^H1696 this ^H2088 word ^H1697,

Behold ^H2009, I am making ^H5414 My words ^H1697 in your mouth ^H6310 fire ^H784

And this ^H2088 people ^H5971 wood ^H6086, and it will devour ^H398 them.

‘They do not say ^H559 in their heart ^H3824,

“Let us now ^H4994 fear ^H3372 Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430,

Who gives ^H5414 rain ^H1653 in its season ^H6256,

Both the [fn]early ^H3138 rain ^H3138 and the [fn]late ^H4456 rain ^H4456,

Who keeps ^H8104 for us

The appointed ^H2708 weeks ^H7620 of the harvest ^H7105.”

For thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635,

“Cut ^H3772 down ^H3772 her trees ^H6097

And cast ^H8210 up ^H8210 a siege ^H5550 against ^H5921 Jerusalem ^H3389.

This ^H1931 is the city ^H5892 to be punished ^H6485,

In whose midst ^H7130 there is only ^H3605 oppression ^H6233.

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635,

“They will thoroughly ^H5953 glean ^H5953 as the vine ^H1612 the remnant ^H7611 of Israel ^H3478;

Pass ^H7725 your hand ^H3027 again ^H7725 like a grape gatherer ^H1219

Over ^H5921 the branches ^H5552.”

“They have healed ^H7495 the brokenness ^H7667 of My people ^H5971 superficially ^H5921 H7043,

Saying ^H559, ‘Peace ^H7965, peace ^H7965,’

But there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 peace ^H7965.

Therefore ^H3651, thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“Behold ^H2009, I am [fn]laying ^H5414 stumbling ^H4383 blocks ^H4383 before ^H413 this ^H2088 people ^H5971.

And they will stumble ^H3782 against them,

Fathers ^H1 and sons ^H1121 together ^H3162;

Neighbor ^H7934 and [fn]friend ^H7453 will perish ^H6.”

The word ^H1697 that came ^H1961 to Jeremiah ^H3414 from Yahweh ^H3068, saying ^H559,
