Israel and Judah Have Broken the Covenant

11The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:H1697H3414H3068H559 2Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.H8085H1697H1285H1696H376H3063H3427H3389 3You shall say to them, Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Cursed be anyone who does not heed the words of this covenant,H559H559H3068H430H3478H779H376H8085H1697H1285 4which I commanded your ancestors when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron-smelter, saying, Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you. So shall you be my people, and I will be your God,H6680H1H3117H3318H776H4714H1270H3564H559H8085H6963H6213H6680H5971H430 5that I may perform the oath that I swore to your ancestors, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then I answered, "So be it, LORD."H6965H7621H7650H1H5414H776H2100H2461H1706H3117H6030H559H543H3068 6And 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.H3068H559H7121H1697H5892H3063H2351H3389H559H8085H1697H1285H6213 7For I solemnly warned your ancestors when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, warning them persistently, even to this day, saying, Obey my voice.H5749H5749H1H3117H5927H776H4714H3117H7925H5749H559H8085H6963 8Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of an evil will. So I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.H8085H5186H241H3212H376H8307H7451H3820H935H1697H1285H6680H6213H6213 9And the LORD said to me: Conspiracy exists among the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.H3068H559H7195H4672H376H3063H3427H3389 10They have turned back to the iniquities of their ancestors of old, who refused to heed my words; they have gone after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the covenant that I made with their ancestors.H7725H5771H7223H1H3985H8085H1697H1980H310H312H430H5647H1004H3478H1004H3063H6565H1285H3772H1 11Therefore, thus says the LORD, assuredly I am going to bring disaster upon them that they cannot escape; though they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.H559H3068H935H7451H3201H3318H2199H8085 12Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they make offerings, but they will never save them in the time of their trouble.H5892H3063H3427H3389H1980H2199H430H6999H3467H3467H6256H7451 13For your gods have become as many as your towns, 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.H4557H5892H430H3063H4557H2351H3389H7760H4196H1322H4196H6999H1168 14As for you, 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.H6419H5971H5375H7440H8605H8085H6256H7121H7451 15What right has my beloved in my house, when she has done vile deeds? Can vows and sacrificial flesh avert your doom? Can you then exult?H3039H1004H6213H4209H7227H6944H1320H5674H7451H5937 16The LORD once called you, "A green olive tree, fair with goodly fruit"; but with the roar of a great tempest he will set fire to it, and its branches will be consumed.H3068H7121H8034H7488H2132H3303H8389H6529H6963H1419H1999H3341H784H1808H7489 17The LORD of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced evil 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.H3068H6635H5193H1696H7451H1558H7451H1004H3478H1004H3063H6213H3707H6999H1168

Jeremiah’s Life Threatened

18It was the LORD who made it known to me, and I knew; then you showed me their evil deeds.H3068H3045H3045H7200H4611 19But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter. And I did not know it was against me that they devised schemes, saying, "Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name will no longer be remembered!"H3532H441H2986H2873H3045H2803H4284H7843H6086H3899H3772H776H2416H8034H2142 20But you, O LORD of hosts, who judge righteously, who try the heart and the mind, let me see your retribution upon them, for to you I have committed my cause.H3068H6635H8199H6664H974H3629H3820H7200H5360H1540H7379 21Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the people of Anathoth, who seek your life, and say, "You shall not prophesy in the name of the LORD, or you will die by our hand"—H559H3068H582H6068H1245H5315H559H5012H8034H3068H4191H3027 22therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: I am going to punish them; the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine;H559H3068H6635H6485H970H4191H2719H1121H1323H4191H7458 23and not even a remnant shall be left of them. For I will bring disaster upon the people of Anathoth, the year of their punishment.H7611H935H7451H582H6068H8141H6486
