the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened; : Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth. : So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008801
house of the LORD. : Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die. : Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008802
This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD. : When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the kings house unto the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008803
new gate of the LORDs house. : Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears. : Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008804
me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard. : Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you. : As for me, behold, I am in your hand:
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008805
do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you. : But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears. :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008806
Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God. : Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying, : Micah the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008807
Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest. : Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008808
him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls. : And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008809
who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah. : And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt; : And Jehoiakim the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008810
king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt. : And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people. : Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008811
of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death. : In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, : Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008812
put them upon thy neck, : And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah; : And command them to say
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008813
unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters; : I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. : And now have
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008814
I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him. : And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his sons son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008815
serve themselves of him. : And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008816
pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. : Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: : For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008817
land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish. : But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein. : I spake also to Zedekiah king of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008818
Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live. : Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008819
Babylon? : Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you. : For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008820
ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you. : Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORDs house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008821
: Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste? : But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008822
house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon. : For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city. : Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008823
of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem; : Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem; : They shall be carried to Babylon, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008824
there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place. : And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008825
Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, : Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. : Within two full years will I bring again into
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008826
this place all the vessels of the LORDs house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon: : And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008827
of the king of Babylon. : Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD, : Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008828
the vessels of the LORDs house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place. : Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people; : The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008829
kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. : The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him. : Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiahs neck, and brake it. : And Hananiah spake
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008830
in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way. : Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008831
prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, : Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. : For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008832
the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also. : Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008833
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD. : So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. : Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008834
the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon; : (After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008835
Jerusalem;) : By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying, : Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008836
Babylon; : Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; : Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished. : And seek the peace
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008837
of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace. : For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008838
your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. : For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD. : For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008839
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. : Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. : And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008840
for me with all your heart. : And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008841
be carried away captive. : Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon; : Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity; : Thus
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008842
saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. : And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008843
of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them: : Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008844
LORD. : Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon: : Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008845
them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes; : And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire; : Because they have
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008846
committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD. : Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, : Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008847
thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying, : The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008848
mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks. : Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you? : For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008849
eat the fruit of them. : And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet. : Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, : Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008850
and he caused you to trust in a lie: : Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008851
: The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, : Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. : For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008852
I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. : And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. : For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. : Ask ye now, and see
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008853
whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? : Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacobs trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008854
: For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: : But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008855
Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. : For I am with thee, saith the LORD,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008856
to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished. : For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous. : There is none
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008857
to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. : All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased. : Why criest thou for
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008858
thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee. : Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008859
thee will I give for a prey. : For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. : Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacobs tents, and have mercy on
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008860
his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. : And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008861
Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. : And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008862
engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD. : And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. : Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. : The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008863
hath done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it. : At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. : Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008864
grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. : The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. : Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008865
with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. : Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. : For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008866
to Zion unto the LORD our God. : For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. : Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008867
and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. : They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008868
am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. : Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. : For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008869
him that was stronger than he. : Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008870
sorrow any more at all. : Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. : And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008871
saith the LORD. : Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. : Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008872
shall come again from the land of the enemy. : And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border. : I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008873
be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. : Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. : Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008874
him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD. : Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities. : How long
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008875
wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man. : Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity;
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008876
The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness. : And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks. : For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. : Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008877
was sweet unto me. : Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. : And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008878
throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD. : In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the childrens teeth are set on edge. : But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008879
the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. : Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: : Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring
60
gutenberg
twg_000000008880
them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: : But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and
