Page 1 / 5 (Jer 1:2–Jer 13:12)
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.
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.
“I will pronounce my judgments against them for all the evil they did when they abandoned me to burn incense to other gods and to worship the works of their own hands.
“Now, get ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them or I will cause you to cower before them.
“They will fight against you but never prevail over you, since I am with you to rescue you.”
This is the LORD’s declaration.
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.
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”?
you claim, “I am innocent.
His anger is sure to turn away from me.”
But I will certainly judge you
because you have said, “I have not sinned.”
This is why the showers haven’t come —
why there has been no spring rain.
You have the brazen look of a prostitute[fn]
and refuse to be ashamed.
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.
“I thought, ‘After she has done all these things, she will return to me.’ But she didn’t return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
“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.
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,
“a wind too strong for this comes at my call.[fn] Now I will also pronounce judgments against them.’ ”
I will go to the powerful
and speak to them.
Surely they know the way of the LORD,
the justice of their God.
However, these also had broken the yoke
and torn off the chains.
They grasp bow and javelin.
They are cruel and show no mercy.
Their voice roars like the sea,
and they ride on horses,
lined up like men in battle formation
against you, Daughter Zion.
“Now, because you have done all these things — this is the LORD’s declaration — and because I have spoken to you time and time again[fn] but you wouldn’t listen, and I have called to you, but you wouldn’t answer,
“for when I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak with them or command them concerning burnt offering and sacrifice.
“Since the day your ancestors came out of the land of Egypt until today, I have sent all my servants the prophets to you time and time again.[fn]
“They will be exposed to the sun, the moon, and all the stars in the sky, which they have loved, served, followed, consulted, and worshiped. Their bones will not be collected and buried but will become like manure on the soil’s surface.
Who is the person wise enough to understand this? Who has the LORD spoken to, that he may explain it? Why is the land destroyed and scorched like a wilderness, so no one can pass through?
The LORD said, “It is because they abandoned my instruction, which I set before them, and did not obey my voice or walk according to it.
This is what the LORD of Armies says:
Consider, and summon the women who mourn;
send for the skillful women.
“Listen to the words of this covenant and tell them to the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.
“Tell them, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: “Let a curse be on the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,
The LORD said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: ‘Obey the words of this covenant and carry them out.’
The LORD said to me, “A conspiracy has been discovered among the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.
“They have returned to the iniquities of their ancestors who refused to obey my words and have followed other gods to worship them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah broke my covenant I made with their ancestors.
“Therefore, this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring on them disaster that they cannot escape. They will cry out to me, but I will not hear them.
“Then the cities of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods they have been burning incense to, but they certainly will not save them in their time of disaster.
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.
You will be righteous, LORD,
even if I bring a case against you.
Yet, I wish to contend with you:
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all the treacherous live at ease?
Even your brothers — your own father’s family —
even they were treacherous to you;
even they have cried out loudly after you.
Do not have confidence in them,
though they speak well of you.
A long time later the LORD said to me, “Go at once to the Euphrates and get the underwear that I commanded you to hide there.”
“Just as underwear clings to one’s waist, so I fastened the whole house of Israel and of Judah to me” — this is the LORD’s declaration — “so that they might be my people for my fame, praise, and glory, but they would not obey.
