Jeremiah 11
11This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:H1697H3414H3068H5592"Listen to the words of this covenant, and convey them to the people of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.H8085H1697H1285H1696H376H3063H3427H33893You are to say to them, 'This is what the Lord God of Israel says: "Cursed is the person who does not listen to the words of this covenantH559H559H3068H430H3478H779H376H8085H1697H12854which I commanded to your ancestors on the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace. I said, 'Obey me and do everything that I commanded you. Then you will be my people and I'll be your God.'H6680H1H3117H3318H776H4714H1270H3564H559H8085H6963H6213H6680H5971H4305As a result, I'll fulfill the oath that I made with your ancestors to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, just as is the case today."'" Then I answered, "So be it, Lord."H6965H7621H7650H1H5414H776H2100H2461H1706H3117H6030H559H543H30686The Lord said to me, "Proclaim all these words in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. You are to say, 'Listen to the words of this covenant and do them.H3068H559H7121H1697H5892H3063H2351H3389H559H8085H1697H1285H62137For I've diligently warned your ancestors from the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt until now, regularly warning them, saying, "Obey me!"H5749H5749H1H3117H5927H776H4714H3117H7925H5749H559H8085H69638But they would not listen or turn their ear, and each of them stubbornly followed his own evil desires. So I brought on them all the consequences of this covenant that I commanded them to fulfill, but they did not.'"H8085H5186H241H3212H376H8307H7451H3820H935H1697H1285H6680H6213H62139The Lord said to me, "Conspiracy has been found among the people of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.H3068H559H7195H4672H376H3063H3427H338910They have turned back to the iniquities of their ancestors of old who refused to listen to my words. They followed other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah broke my covenant which I made with their ancestors."H7725H5771H7223H1H3985H8085H1697H1980H310H312H430H5647H1004H3478H1004H3063H6565H1285H3772H111Therefore, this is what the Lord says: "I'm about to bring disaster on them from which they won't be able to escape. They'll cry out to me, but I won't listen to them.H559H3068H935H7451H3201H3318H2199H808512The towns of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they burn incense, but they'll be no help at all to them in the time of their disaster.H5892H3063H3427H3389H1980H2199H430H6999H3467H3467H6256H745113Judah, you have as many gods as you have towns, and you have set up as many altars to the shameful idols as there are streets in Jerusalem. You burn incense to Baal on these altars.H4557H5892H430H3063H4557H2351H3389H7760H4196H1322H4196H6999H116814"Jeremiah, don't pray for this people and don't cry or pray for them. I won't listen when they cry out to me because of their disaster.H6419H5971H5375H7440H8605H8085H6256H7121H745115"What right does my beloved have in my house, when she has carried out many evil schemes?Can sacrificial flesh turn disaster away from you, so you can rejoice?H3039H1004H6213H4209H7227H6944H1320H5674H7451H593716The Lord once called you a green olive tree, with beautiful shape and fruit. With a great roaring sound, he has set fire to it and its branches will be destroyed.H3068H7121H8034H7488H2132H3303H8389H6529H6963H1419H1999H3341H784H1808H748917The Lord of the Heavenly Armies who planted you has called for disaster on you because of the evil of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, has provoked me by burning incense to Baal."H3068H6635H5193H1696H7451H1558H7451H1004H3478H1004H3063H6213H3707H6999H116818The Lord made it known to me, and so I understood. Then you showed me their malicious deeds.H3068H3045H3045H7200H461119I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter. I didn't know that they had devised schemes against me. They said to themselves, "Let's destroy the tree with its fruit. Let's eliminate him from the land of the living, so his name won't be remembered again."H3532H441H2986H2873H3045H2803H4284H7843H6086H3899H3772H776H2416H8034H214220Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the righteous judge, the one who tests feelings and the heart, let me see your vengeance on them, for I've committed my cause to you.H3068H6635H8199H6664H974H3629H3820H7200H5360H1540H737921Therefore, this is what the Lord says about the men of Anathoth who seek to kill you, all the while threatening you, "Don't prophesy in the name of the Lord so you won't die by our hand!"H559H3068H582H6068H1245H5315H559H5012H8034H3068H4191H302722Therefore, this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: "I'm about to punish them. The young men will die by the sword. Their sons and daughters will die by famine.H559H3068H6635H6485H970H4191H2719H1121H1323H4191H745823Not one of them will be left, for I'll bring disaster on the men of Anathoth when I punish them."11H7611H935H7451H582H6068H8141H6486
