Jeremiah

Chapter 15

1 THEN the LORD said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me pleading, yet my soul would not be pleased with this people; but I will cast them out of my sight and let them go.

2 And it shall come to pass, if they say to you, Where shall we go? Then you shall tell them, Thus says the LORD: Those numbered for death, to death; and those numbered for the sword, to the sword; and those numbered for famine, to famine; and those numbered for captivity, to captivity.

3 And I will decree against them four kinds of afflictions, says the LORD: The sword to slay, the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the air and the wild beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

4 And I will cause them to be a horror in all the kingdoms of the earth, because of the transgressions of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.

5 For who shall have pity upon you, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan you? or who shall go aside to inquire about your peace?

6 You have forsaken me, says the LORD, you are gone backward; therefore I will stretch out my hand against you and destroy you; and I shall not spare you again.

7 And I will fan them with a fan in the cities of the earth; I have bereaved them of their children. I have destroyed my people, and yet they did not return from their ways.

8 Their widows are increased in number more than the sand of the sea; I have brought against them, both against the mother and against the young men, robbers at noonday; I have caused terror and trembling to fall upon them suddenly.

9 She who has borne seven children languishes; her pride is gone; her sun has gone down while it was yet day; she has been ashamed and confounded; and the rest of them I will deliver to the sword before their enemies, says the LORD.

10 Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a judge, a rebuker to the whole earth. I am neither a debtor, nor a creditor; yet all of them curse me.

11 The LORD said, Verily I shall not leave you at ease, but I will cause an enemy from the north to encounter you in the time of tribulation and in the time of evil;

12 For he is hard as iron and as brass.

13 Your riches, your treasures, and all your borders, I will give to the spoil, because of your sins.

14 And I shall cause you to be enslaved to your enemies in a land which you do not know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn upon you.

15 O LORD, thou knowest; remember me and save me and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering; know that for thy sake I have suffered reproach.

16 Thy commandments have I kept and carried out, thy word was to me a delight and the joy of my heart; for I am called by thy name.

17 O LORD God of hosts, I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers, but I was afraid because of thy hand, and I sat alone; for thou hast filled me with indignation.

18 Why is my pain so grievous and my wound so severe that it refuses to be healed? Wilt thou be to me as a mirage that cannot be believed?

19 Therefore thus says the LORD, If you repent, then I will bring you back again, and you shall stand before me; and if you bring forth the precious words and not the vile, you shall be as my mouth, says the LORD; the people shall turn to you; but you shall not turn to them.

20 I have made you to this people as a fortified wall of brass; and they shall fight against you. but they shall not prevail; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD.

21 And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will save you from the hand of the mighty.

Chapter 15

1 Then said559 the LORD3068 to me, Though518 Moses4872 and Samuel8050 stood5975 before6440 me, yet my mind5315 could not be toward413 this2088 people:5971 cast7971 them out of my sight,6440 and let them go3318 forth.3318

2 And it shall come1961 to pass, if3588 they say559 to you, Where575 shall we go3318 forth?3318 then you shall tell559 them, Thus said559 the LORD;3068 Such as are for death,4194 to death;4194 and such as are for the sword,2719 to the sword;2719 and such as are for the famine,7458 to the famine;7458 and such as are for the captivity,7628 to the captivity.7628

3 And I will appoint6485 over5921 them four702 kinds,4940 said5002 the LORD:3068 the sword2719 to slay,2026 and the dogs3611 to tear,5498 and the fowls5775 of the heaven,8064 and the beasts929 of the earth,776 to devour398 and destroy.7843

4 And I will cause5414 them to be removed2189 into all3605 kingdoms4467 of the earth,776 because1558 of Manasseh4519 the son1121 of Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah,3063 for that which834 he did6213 in Jerusalem.3389

5 For who4310 shall have pity2550 on you, O Jerusalem?3389 or who4310 shall bemoan5110 you? or who shall go5493 aside5493 to ask7592 how you do?7965

6 You have forsaken5203 me, said5002 the LORD,3068 you are gone3212 backward:268 therefore will I stretch5186 out my hand3027 against5921 you, and destroy7843 you; I am weary3811 with repenting.5162

7 And I will fan2219 them with a fan4214 in the gates8179 of the land;776 I will bereave7921 them of children, I will destroy6 my people 5971since4480 they return7725 not from their ways.1870

8 Their widows490 are increased6105 to me above the sand2344 of the seas:3220 I have brought935 on them against5921 the mother517 of the young970 men a spoiler7703 at noonday:6672 I have caused him to fall5307 on it suddenly,6597 and terrors928 on the city.5892

9 She that has borne3205 seven7651 languishes:535 she has given5301 up the ghost;5315 her sun8121 is gone935 down while it was yet5750 day:3119 she has been ashamed954 and confounded:2659 and the residue7611 of them will I deliver5414 to the sword2719 before6440 their enemies,341 said5002 the LORD.3068

10 Woe188 is me, my mother,517 that you have borne3205 me a man376 of strife7379 and a man376 of contention4066 to the whole3605 earth!776 I have neither3808 lent5383 on usury,5383 nor3808 men have lent5383 to me on usury;5383 yet every3605 one of them does curse7043 me.

11 The LORD3068 said,559 Truly518 3808 it shall be well2896 with your remnant;8293 truly518 I will cause the enemy341 to entreat6293 you well in the time6256 of evil7451 and in the time6256 of affliction.6869

12 Shall iron1270 break7489 the northern6828 iron1270 and the steel?5178

13 Your substance2428 and your treasures214 will I give5414 to the spoil957 without3808 price,4242 and that for all3605 your sins,2403 even in all3605 your borders.1366

14 And I will make you to pass5674 with your enemies341 into a land776 which you know3045 not: for a fire784 is kindled6919 in my anger,639 which shall burn3344 on you.

15 O LORD,3068 you know:3045 remember2142 me, and visit6485 me, and revenge5358 me of my persecutors;7291 take3947 me not away in your long-suffering:750 639 know3045 that for your sake I have suffered5375 rebuke.2781

16 Your words1697 were found,4672 and I did eat398 them; and your word1697 was to me the joy8342 and rejoicing8057 of my heart:3824 for I am called7121 by your name,8034 O LORD3068 God430 of hosts.6635

17 I sat3427 not in the assembly5475 of the mockers,7832 nor rejoiced;5937 I sat3427 alone909 because6440 of your hand:3027 for you have filled4390 me with indignation.2195

18 Why4100 is my pain3511 perpetual,5331 and my wound4347 incurable,605 which refuses3985 to be healed?7495 will you be altogether to me as a liar,391 and as waters4325 that fail?3808

19 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 If518 you return,7725 then will I bring7725 you again,7725 and you shall stand5975 before6440 me: and if518 you take3318 forth3318 the precious3368 from the vile,2151 you shall be as my mouth:6310 let them return7725 to you; but return7725 not you to them.

20 And I will make5414 you to this2088 people5971 a fenced1219 brazen5178 wall:2346 and they shall fight3898 against413 you, but they shall not prevail3201 against you: for I am with you to save3467 you and to deliver5337 you, said5002 the LORD.3068

21 And I will deliver5337 you out of the hand3027 of the wicked,7451 and I will redeem6299 you out of the hand3709 of the terrible.6184

1 THEN the LORD said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me pleading, yet my soul would not be pleased with this people; but I will cast them out of my sight and let them go.

1 Then said559 the LORD3068 to me, Though518 Moses4872 and Samuel8050 stood5975 before6440 me, yet my mind5315 could not be toward413 this2088 people:5971 cast7971 them out of my sight,6440 and let them go3318 forth.3318

2 And it shall come to pass, if they say to you, Where shall we go? Then you shall tell them, Thus says the LORD: Those numbered for death, to death; and those numbered for the sword, to the sword; and those numbered for famine, to famine; and those numbered for captivity, to captivity.

2 And it shall come1961 to pass, if3588 they say559 to you, Where575 shall we go3318 forth?3318 then you shall tell559 them, Thus said559 the LORD;3068 Such as are for death,4194 to death;4194 and such as are for the sword,2719 to the sword;2719 and such as are for the famine,7458 to the famine;7458 and such as are for the captivity,7628 to the captivity.7628

3 And I will decree against them four kinds of afflictions, says the LORD: The sword to slay, the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the air and the wild beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

3 And I will appoint6485 over5921 them four702 kinds,4940 said5002 the LORD:3068 the sword2719 to slay,2026 and the dogs3611 to tear,5498 and the fowls5775 of the heaven,8064 and the beasts929 of the earth,776 to devour398 and destroy.7843

4 And I will cause them to be a horror in all the kingdoms of the earth, because of the transgressions of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.

5 For who shall have pity upon you, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan you? or who shall go aside to inquire about your peace?

5 For who4310 shall have pity2550 on you, O Jerusalem?3389 or who4310 shall bemoan5110 you? or who shall go5493 aside5493 to ask7592 how you do?7965

6 You have forsaken me, says the LORD, you are gone backward; therefore I will stretch out my hand against you and destroy you; and I shall not spare you again.

6 You have forsaken5203 me, said5002 the LORD,3068 you are gone3212 backward:268 therefore will I stretch5186 out my hand3027 against5921 you, and destroy7843 you; I am weary3811 with repenting.5162

7 And I will fan them with a fan in the cities of the earth; I have bereaved them of their children. I have destroyed my people, and yet they did not return from their ways.

7 And I will fan2219 them with a fan4214 in the gates8179 of the land;776 I will bereave7921 them of children, I will destroy6 my people 5971since4480 they return7725 not from their ways.1870

8 Their widows are increased in number more than the sand of the sea; I have brought against them, both against the mother and against the young men, robbers at noonday; I have caused terror and trembling to fall upon them suddenly.

8 Their widows490 are increased6105 to me above the sand2344 of the seas:3220 I have brought935 on them against5921 the mother517 of the young970 men a spoiler7703 at noonday:6672 I have caused him to fall5307 on it suddenly,6597 and terrors928 on the city.5892

9 She who has borne seven children languishes; her pride is gone; her sun has gone down while it was yet day; she has been ashamed and confounded; and the rest of them I will deliver to the sword before their enemies, says the LORD.

9 She that has borne3205 seven7651 languishes:535 she has given5301 up the ghost;5315 her sun8121 is gone935 down while it was yet5750 day:3119 she has been ashamed954 and confounded:2659 and the residue7611 of them will I deliver5414 to the sword2719 before6440 their enemies,341 said5002 the LORD.3068

10 Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a judge, a rebuker to the whole earth. I am neither a debtor, nor a creditor; yet all of them curse me.

10 Woe188 is me, my mother,517 that you have borne3205 me a man376 of strife7379 and a man376 of contention4066 to the whole3605 earth!776 I have neither3808 lent5383 on usury,5383 nor3808 men have lent5383 to me on usury;5383 yet every3605 one of them does curse7043 me.

11 The LORD said, Verily I shall not leave you at ease, but I will cause an enemy from the north to encounter you in the time of tribulation and in the time of evil;

12 For he is hard as iron and as brass.

12 Shall iron1270 break7489 the northern6828 iron1270 and the steel?5178

13 Your riches, your treasures, and all your borders, I will give to the spoil, because of your sins.

13 Your substance2428 and your treasures214 will I give5414 to the spoil957 without3808 price,4242 and that for all3605 your sins,2403 even in all3605 your borders.1366

14 And I shall cause you to be enslaved to your enemies in a land which you do not know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn upon you.

14 And I will make you to pass5674 with your enemies341 into a land776 which you know3045 not: for a fire784 is kindled6919 in my anger,639 which shall burn3344 on you.

15 O LORD, thou knowest; remember me and save me and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering; know that for thy sake I have suffered reproach.

15 O LORD,3068 you know:3045 remember2142 me, and visit6485 me, and revenge5358 me of my persecutors;7291 take3947 me not away in your long-suffering:750 639 know3045 that for your sake I have suffered5375 rebuke.2781

16 Thy commandments have I kept and carried out, thy word was to me a delight and the joy of my heart; for I am called by thy name.

16 Your words1697 were found,4672 and I did eat398 them; and your word1697 was to me the joy8342 and rejoicing8057 of my heart:3824 for I am called7121 by your name,8034 O LORD3068 God430 of hosts.6635

17 O LORD God of hosts, I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers, but I was afraid because of thy hand, and I sat alone; for thou hast filled me with indignation.

17 I sat3427 not in the assembly5475 of the mockers,7832 nor rejoiced;5937 I sat3427 alone909 because6440 of your hand:3027 for you have filled4390 me with indignation.2195

18 Why is my pain so grievous and my wound so severe that it refuses to be healed? Wilt thou be to me as a mirage that cannot be believed?

18 Why4100 is my pain3511 perpetual,5331 and my wound4347 incurable,605 which refuses3985 to be healed?7495 will you be altogether to me as a liar,391 and as waters4325 that fail?3808

19 Therefore thus says the LORD, If you repent, then I will bring you back again, and you shall stand before me; and if you bring forth the precious words and not the vile, you shall be as my mouth, says the LORD; the people shall turn to you; but you shall not turn to them.

19 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 If518 you return,7725 then will I bring7725 you again,7725 and you shall stand5975 before6440 me: and if518 you take3318 forth3318 the precious3368 from the vile,2151 you shall be as my mouth:6310 let them return7725 to you; but return7725 not you to them.

20 I have made you to this people as a fortified wall of brass; and they shall fight against you. but they shall not prevail; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD.

20 And I will make5414 you to this2088 people5971 a fenced1219 brazen5178 wall:2346 and they shall fight3898 against413 you, but they shall not prevail3201 against you: for I am with you to save3467 you and to deliver5337 you, said5002 the LORD.3068

21 And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will save you from the hand of the mighty.

21 And I will deliver5337 you out of the hand3027 of the wicked,7451 and I will redeem6299 you out of the hand3709 of the terrible.6184
