Vine's Expository Dictionary: View Entry
Strong's Number G5101 matches the Greek τίς (tis),
which occurs 82 times in 67 verses in 'Jer'
in the LXX Greek.
Page 1 / 2 (Jer 1:11–Jer 30:21)
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.”
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.”
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?
Now what will you gain
by traveling along the way to Egypt
to drink the water of the Nile?[fn]
What will you gain
by traveling along the way to Assyria
to drink the water of the Euphrates?
How can you protest, “I am not defiled;
I have not followed the Baals”?
Look at your behavior in the valley;
acknowledge what you have done.
You are a swift young camel
twisting and turning on her way,
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”?
How unstable you are,
constantly changing your ways!
You will be put to shame by Egypt
just as you were put to shame by Assyria.
And you, devastated one, what are you doing
that you dress yourself in scarlet,
that you adorn yourself with gold jewelry,
that you enhance your eyes with makeup?
You beautify yourself for nothing.
Your lovers reject you;
they intend to take your life.
“When people ask, ‘For what offense has the LORD our God done all these things to us? ’ You will respond to them, ‘Just as you abandoned me and served foreign gods in your land, so will you serve strangers in a land that is not yours.’
“The prophets prophesy falsely,
and the priests rule by their own authority.
My people love it like this.
But what will you do at the end of it?
What use to me is frankincense from Sheba
or sweet cane from a distant land?
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable;
your sacrifices do not please me.
“Don’t you see how they behave in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
“Why have these people turned away?
Why is Jerusalem always turning away?
They take hold of deceit;
they refuse to return.
“I have paid careful attention.
They do not speak what is right.
No one regrets his evil,
asking, ‘What have I done? ’
Everyone has stayed his course
like a horse rushing into battle.
“The wise will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed and snared.
They have rejected the word of the LORD,
so what wisdom do they really have?
Listen — the cry of my dear people
from a faraway land,
“Is the LORD no longer in Zion,
her King not within her? ”
Why have they angered me
with their carved images,
with their worthless foreign idols?
Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
So why has the healing of my dear people
not come about?
If my head were a flowing spring,
my eyes a fountain of tears,
I would weep day and night
over the slain of my dear[fn] people.
If only I had a traveler’s lodging place
in the wilderness,
I would abandon my people
and depart from them,
for they are all adulterers,
a solemn assembly of treacherous people.
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?
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?
What will you say when he appoints
close friends as leaders over you,
ones you yourself trained?
Won’t labor pains seize you,
as they do a woman in labor?
And when you ask yourself,
“Why have these things happened to me? ”
it is because of your great guilt
that your skirts have been stripped off,
your body exposed.[fn]
Your adulteries and your lustful neighing,
your depraved prostitution
on the hills, in the fields —
I have seen your abhorrent acts.
Woe to you, Jerusalem!
You are unclean —
for how long yet?
Hope of Israel,
its Savior in time of distress,
why are you like a resident alien in the land,
like a traveler stopping only for the night?
Have you completely rejected Judah?
Do you detest Zion?
Why do you strike us
with no hope of healing for us?
We hoped for peace,
but there was nothing good;
for a time of healing,
but there was only terror.
“Who will have pity on you, Jerusalem?
Who will show sympathy toward you?
Who will turn aside
to ask about your well-being?
Woe is me, my mother,
that you gave birth to me,
a man who incites dispute and conflict
in all the land.
I did not lend or borrow,
yet everyone curses me.
Why has my pain become unending,
my wound incurable,
refusing to be healed?
You truly have become like a mirage to me —
water that is not reliable.
“When you tell these people all these things, they will say to you, ‘Why has the LORD declared all this terrible disaster against us? What is our iniquity? What is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God? ’
The heart is more deceitful than anything else,
and incurable — who can understand it?
Therefore, this is what the LORD says:
Ask among the nations,
who has heard things like these?
Virgin Israel has done a most horrible thing.
Why did I come out of the womb
to see only struggle and sorrow,
to end my life in shame?
“Beware! I am against you,
you who sit above the valley,
you atop the rocky plateau —
this is the LORD’s declaration —
you who say, “Who can come down against us?
Who can enter our hiding places? ”
“Many nations will pass by this city and ask one another, ‘Why did the LORD do such a thing to this great city? ’
For who has stood in the council of the LORD
to see and hear his word?
Who has paid attention to his word and obeyed?
“The prophet who has only a dream should recount the dream, but the one who has my word should speak my word truthfully, for what is straw compared to grain? ” — this is the LORD’s declaration.
“Now when these people or a prophet or a priest asks you, ‘What is the burden[fn] of the LORD? ’ you will respond to them, ‘What is the burden? I will throw you away! This is the LORD’s declaration.’
“This is what each man is to say to his friend and to his brother: ‘What has the LORD answered? ’ or ‘What has the LORD spoken? ’
“Say to the prophet, ‘What has the LORD answered you? ’ or ‘What has the LORD spoken? ’
The LORD said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah? ”
I said, “Figs! The good figs are very good, but the bad figs are extremely bad, so bad they are inedible.”
“So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth who has been acting like a prophet among you?
