The Broken Covenant

11The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,H1697H3414H3068H559 2"Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;H8085H1697H1285H1696H376H3063H3427H3389 3"and say to them, 'Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenantH559H559H3068H430H3478H779H376H8085H1697H1285 4"which I commanded your fathers in the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, 'Obey My voice, and do according to all that I command you; so shall you be My people, and I will be your God,'H6680H1H3117H3318H776H4714H1270H3564H559H8085H6963H6213H6680H5971H430 5"that I may establish the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them 'a land flowing with milk and honey,' as it is this day."'" And I answered and said, "So be it, LORD."H6965H7621H7650H1H5414H776H2100H2461H1706H3117H6030H559H543H3068 6Then the LORD said to me, "Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: 'Hear the words of this covenant and do them.H3068H559H7121H1697H5892H3063H2351H3389H559H8085H1697H1285H6213 7'For I earnestly exhorted your fathers in the day I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, until this day, rising early and exhorting, saying, "Obey My voice."H5749H5749H1H3117H5927H776H4714H3117H7925H5749H559H8085H6963 8'Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone followed the dictates of his evil heart; therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but which they have not done.'"H8085H5186H241H3212H376H8307H7451H3820H935H1697H1285H6680H6213H6213 9And the LORD said to me, "A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.H3068H559H7195H4672H376H3063H3427H3389 10"They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers who refused to hear My words, and they have gone after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I made with their fathers."H7725H5771H7223H1H3985H8085H1697H1980H310H312H430H5647H1004H3478H1004H3063H6565H1285H3772H1 11Therefore thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will surely bring calamity on them which they will not be able to escape; and though they cry out to Me, I will not listen to them.H559H3068H935H7451H3201H3318H2199H8085 12"Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.H5892H3063H3427H3389H1980H2199H430H6999H3467H3467H6256H7451 13"For according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to that shameful thing, altars to burn incense to Baal.H4557H5892H430H3063H4557H2351H3389H7760H4196H1322H4196H6999H1168 14"So do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry out to Me because of their trouble.H6419H5971H5375H7440H8605H8085H6256H7121H7451 15"What has My beloved to do in My house, Having done lewd deeds with many? And the holy flesh has passed from you. When you do evil, then you rejoice.H3039H1004H6213H4209H7227H6944H1320H5674H7451H5937 16The LORD called your name, Green Olive Tree, Lovely and of Good Fruit. With the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire on it, And its branches are broken.H3068H7121H8034H7488H2132H3303H8389H6529H6963H1419H1999H3341H784H1808H7489 17"For the LORD of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced doom against you for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke Me to anger in offering incense to Baal."H3068H6635H5193H1696H7451H1558H7451H1004H3478H1004H3063H6213H3707H6999H1168

Jeremiah’s Life Threatened

18Now the LORD gave me knowledge of it, and I know it; for You showed me their doings.H3068H3045H3045H7200H4611 19But I was like a docile lamb brought to the slaughter; and I did not know that they had devised schemes against me, saying, "Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be remembered no more."H3532H441H2986H2873H3045H2803H4284H7843H6086H3899H3772H776H2416H8034H2142 20But, O LORD of hosts, You who judge righteously, Testing the mind and the heart, Let me see Your vengeance on them, For to You I have revealed my cause.H3068H6635H8199H6664H974H3629H3820H7200H5360H1540H7379 21"Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the men of Anathoth who seek your life, saying, 'Do not prophesy in the name of the LORD, lest you die by our hand'—H559H3068H582H6068H1245H5315H559H5012H8034H3068H4191H3027 22"therefore 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;H559H3068H6635H6485H970H4191H2719H1121H1323H4191H7458 23'and there shall be no remnant of them, for I will bring catastrophe on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their punishment.'"H7611H935H7451H582H6068H8141H6486
