Page 1 / 3 (Jer 2:4–Jer 26:2)
Like the shame of a thief when he is caught,
so the house of Israel has been put to shame.
They, their kings, their officials,
their priests, and their prophets
In those days the house of Judah will join with the house of Israel, and they will come together from the land of the north to the land I have given your ancestors to inherit.’ ”
However, as a woman may betray her lover,[fn]
so you have betrayed me, house of Israel.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
Why should I forgive you?
Your children have abandoned me
and sworn by those who are not gods.
I satisfied their needs, yet they committed adultery;
they gashed themselves at the[fn] prostitute’s house.
They, the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
have dealt very treacherously with me.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
I am about to bring a nation
from far away against you,
house of Israel.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
It is an established nation,
an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you do not know
and whose speech you do not understand.
“Like a cage full of birds,
so their houses are full of deceit.
Therefore they have grown powerful and rich.
Their houses will be turned over to others,
their fields and wives as well,
for I will stretch out my hand
against the inhabitants of the land.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
“Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD and there call out this word: ‘Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD.
“Then do you come and stand before me in this house that bears my name and say, “We are rescued, so we can continue doing all these detestable acts”?
Has this house, which bears my name, become a den of robbers in your view? Yes, I too have seen it.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
“what I did to Shiloh I will do to the house that bears my name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave you and your ancestors.
“For the Judeans have done what is evil in my sight.” This is the LORD’s declaration. “They have set up their abhorrent things in the house that bears my name in order to defile it.
“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.’ ”
“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.
“The LORD of Armies who planted you has decreed disaster against you, because of the disaster[fn] the house of Israel and the house of Judah brought on themselves when they angered me by burning incense to Baal.”
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.
I have abandoned my house;
I have deserted my inheritance.
I have handed the love of my life
over to her enemies.
This is what the LORD says: “Concerning all my evil neighbors who attack the inheritance that I bequeathed to my people, Israel, I am about to uproot them from their land, and I will uproot the house of Judah from them.
“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.
“For this is what the LORD says: Don’t enter a house where a mourning feast is taking place.[fn] Don’t go to lament or sympathize with them, for I have removed my peace from these people as well as my faithful love and compassion.” This is the LORD’s declaration.
“Do not enter the house where feasting is taking place to sit with them to eat and drink.
“Do not carry a load out of your houses on the Sabbath day or do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy, just as I commanded your ancestors.
“Then people will come from the cities of Judah and from the area around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin and from the Judean foothills, from the hill country and from the Negev bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and thanksgiving sacrifices to the house of the LORD.
So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, working away at the wheel.[fn]
“House of Israel, can I not treat you as this potter treats his clay? ” — this is the LORD’s declaration. “Just like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, house of Israel.
Let a cry be heard from their houses
when you suddenly bring raiders against them,
for they have dug a pit to capture me
and have hidden snares for my feet.
“The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will become impure like that place Topheth — all the houses on whose rooftops they have burned incense to all the stars in the sky and poured out drink offerings to other gods.’ ”
Jeremiah returned from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, stood in the courtyard of the LORD’s temple, and proclaimed to all the people,
Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer and chief official in the temple of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
So Pashhur had the prophet Jeremiah beaten and put him in the stocks at the Upper Benjamin Gate in the LORD’s temple.
“As for you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house, you will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon. There you will die, and there you will be buried, you and all your friends to whom you prophesied lies.’ ”
“House of David, this is what the LORD says:
Administer justice every morning,
and rescue the victim of robbery
from his oppressor,
or my anger will flare up like fire
and burn unquenchably
because of your evil deeds.
This is what the LORD says: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and announce this word there.
“For if you conscientiously carry out this word, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses — they, their officers, and their people.
“But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by myself — this is the LORD’s declaration — that this house will become a ruin.’ ”
For this is what the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah:
“You are like Gilead to me,
or the summit of Lebanon,
but I will certainly turn you into a wilderness,
uninhabited cities.
Woe for the one who builds his palace
through unrighteousness,
his upstairs rooms through injustice,
who makes his neighbor serve without pay
and will not give him his wages,
who says, “I will build myself a massive palace,
with spacious upstairs rooms.”
He will cut windows[fn] in it,
and it will be paneled with cedar
and painted bright red.
“but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the land of the north and from all the other countries where I[fn] had banished them.’ They will dwell once more in their own land.”
because both prophet and priest are ungodly,
even in my house I have found their evil.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
“As for the prophet, priest, or people who say, ‘The burden of the LORD,’ I will punish that man and his household.
