The Broken Covenant

11This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:H1697H3414H3068H559
2"Listen to the words of this covenant, and convey them to the people of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.H8085H1697H1285H1696H376H3063H3427H3389
3You 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 covenantH559H559H3068H430H3478H779H376H8085H1697H1285
4which 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.'H6680H1H3117H3318H776H4714H1270H3564H559H8085H6963H6213H6680H5971H430
5As 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."H6965H7621H7650H1H5414H776H2100H2461H1706H3117H6030H559H543H3068
6The 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.H3068H559H7121H1697H5892H3063H2351H3389H559H8085H1697H1285H6213
7For 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!"H5749H5749H1H3117H5927H776H4714H3117H7925H5749H559H8085H6963
8But 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.'"H8085H5186H241H3212H376H8307H7451H3820H935H1697H1285H6680H6213H6213
9The Lord said to me, "Conspiracy has been found among the people of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.H3068H559H7195H4672H376H3063H3427H3389
10They 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."H7725H5771H7223H1H3985H8085H1697H1980H310H312H430H5647H1004H3478H1004H3063H6565H1285H3772H1
11Therefore, 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.H559H3068H935H7451H3201H3318H2199H8085
12The 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.H5892H3063H3427H3389H1980H2199H430H6999H3467H3467H6256H7451
13Judah, 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.H4557H5892H430H3063H4557H2351H3389H7760H4196H1322H4196H6999H1168
14"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.H6419H5971H5375H7440H8605H8085H6256H7121H7451
15"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?H3039H1004H6213H4209H7227H6944H1320H5674H7451H5937
16The 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.H3068H7121H8034H7488H2132H3303H8389H6529H6963H1419H1999H3341H784H1808H7489
17The 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."H3068H6635H5193H1696H7451H1558H7451H1004H3478H1004H3063H6213H3707H6999H1168

Jeremiah’s Life is Threatened

18The Lord made it known to me, and so I understood. Then you showed me their malicious deeds.H3068H3045H3045H7200H4611
19I 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."H3532H441H2986H2873H3045H2803H4284H7843H6086H3899H3772H776H2416H8034H2142
20Lord 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.H3068H6635H8199H6664H974H3629H3820H7200H5360H1540H7379
21Therefore, 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!"H559H3068H582H6068H1245H5315H559H5012H8034H3068H4191H3027
22Therefore, 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.H559H3068H6635H6485H970H4191H2719H1121H1323H4191H7458
23Not one of them will be left, for I'll bring disaster on the men of Anathoth when I punish them."11H7611H935H7451H582H6068H8141H6486
