Jeremiah 11

11The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:H1697H3414H3068H5592"Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.H8085H1697H1285H1696H376H3063H3427H33893You shall say to them, Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who does not hear the words of this covenantH559H559H3068H430H3478H779H376H8085H1697H12854that I commanded your fathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you. So shall you be my people, and I will be your God,H6680H1H3117H3318H776H4714H1270H3564H559H8085H6963H6213H6680H5971H4305that I may confirm the oath that I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day." Then I answered, "So be it, LORD."H6965H7621H7650H1H5414H776H2100H2461H1706H3117H6030H559H543H30686And the LORD said to me, "Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: Hear the words of this covenant and do them.H3068H559H7121H1697H5892H3063H2351H3389H559H8085H1697H1285H62137For I solemnly warned your fathers when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, warning them persistently, even to this day, saying, Obey my voice.H5749H5749H1H3117H5927H776H4714H3117H7925H5749H559H8085H69638Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not."H8085H5186H241H3212H376H8307H7451H3820H935H1697H1285H6680H6213H62139Again the LORD said to me, "A conspiracy exists among the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.H3068H559H7195H4672H376H3063H3427H338910They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their fathers.H7725H5771H7223H1H3985H8085H1697H1980H310H312H430H5647H1004H3478H1004H3063H6565H1285H3772H111Therefore, thus says the LORD, Behold, I am bringing disaster upon them that they cannot escape. Though they cry to me, I will not listen to them.H559H3068H935H7451H3201H3318H2199H808512Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to whom they make offerings, but they cannot save them in the time of their trouble.H5892H3063H3427H3389H1980H2199H430H6999H3467H3467H6256H745113For your gods have become as many as your cities, O Judah, and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to shame, altars to make offerings to Baal.H4557H5892H430H3063H4557H2351H3389H7760H4196H1322H4196H6999H116814"Therefore do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer on their behalf, for I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their trouble.H6419H5971H5375H7440H8605H8085H6256H7121H745115What right has my beloved in my house, when she has done many vile deeds? Can even sacrificial flesh avert your doom? Can you then exult?H3039H1004H6213H4209H7227H6944H1320H5674H7451H593716The LORD once called you 'a green olive tree, beautiful with good fruit.' But with the roar of a great tempest he will set fire to it, and its branches will be consumed.H3068H7121H8034H7488H2132H3303H8389H6529H6963H1419H1999H3341H784H1808H748917The LORD of hosts, who planted you, has decreed disaster against you, because of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have done, provoking me to anger by making offerings to Baal."H3068H6635H5193H1696H7451H1558H7451H1004H3478H1004H3063H6213H3707H6999H116818The LORD made it known to me and I knew; then you showed me their deeds.H3068H3045H3045H7200H461119But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter. I did not know it was against me they devised schemes, saying, "Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name be remembered no more."H3532H441H2986H2873H3045H2803H4284H7843H6086H3899H3772H776H2416H8034H214220But, O LORD of hosts, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you have I committed my cause.H3068H6635H8199H6664H974H3629H3820H7200H5360H1540H737921Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, and say, "Do not prophesy in the name of the LORD, or you will die by our hand"—H559H3068H582H6068H1245H5315H559H5012H8034H3068H4191H302722therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: "Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine,H559H3068H6635H6485H970H4191H2719H1121H1323H4191H745823and none of them shall be left. For I will bring disaster upon the men of Anathoth, the year of their punishment."H7611H935H7451H582H6068H8141H6486
