The Broken Covenant

11The word which 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 3and say to them, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, "Cursed is the man who does not heed the words of this covenantH559H559H3068H430H3478H779H376H8085H1697H1285 4which I commanded your forefathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, 'Listen to My voice, and do according to all which I command you; so you shall be My people, and I will be your God,'H6680H1H3117H3318H776H4714H1270H3564H559H8085H6963H6213H6680H5971H430 5in order to confirm the oath which I swore to your forefathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as [it is] this day. "'"Then I answered and said, "Amen, O LORD."H6965H7621H7650H1H5414H776H2100H2461H1706H3117H6030H559H543H3068 6And 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 solemnly warned your fathers in the day that I brought them up from the land of Egypt, even to this day, warning persistently, saying, " Listen to My voice. "H5749H5749H1H3117H5927H776H4714H3117H7925H5749H559H8085H6963 8'Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked, each one, in the stubbornness of his evil heart; therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded [them] to do, but they did not.' "H8085H5186H241H3212H376H8307H7451H3820H935H1697H1285H6680H6213H6213 9Then 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 ancestors 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 am bringing disaster on them which they will not be able to escape; though they will cry to Me, yet I will not listen to them.H559H3068H935H7451H3201H3318H2199H8085 12"Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to whom they burn incense, but they surely will not save them in the time of their disaster.H5892H3063H3427H3389H1980H2199H430H6999H3467H3467H6256H7451 13"For your gods are as many as your cities, O Judah; and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the shameful thing, altars to burn incense to Baal.H4557H5892H430H3063H4557H2351H3389H7760H4196H1322H4196H6999H1168 14"Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster.H6419H5971H5375H7440H8605H8085H6256H7121H7451 15"What right has My beloved in My house When she has done many vile deeds? Can the sacrificial flesh take away from you your disaster, So [ that] you can rejoice?"H3039H1004H6213H4209H7227H6944H1320H5674H7451H5937 16The LORD called your name, "A green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form"; With the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire on it, And its branches are worthless.H3068H7121H8034H7488H2132H3303H8389H6529H6963H1419H1999H3341H784H1808H7489 17And the LORD of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done to provoke Me by offering up sacrifices to Baal.H3068H6635H5193H1696H7451H1558H7451H1004H3478H1004H3063H6213H3707H6999H1168

Plots against Jeremiah

18Moreover, the LORD made it known to me and I knew it; Then Thou didst show me their deeds.H3068H3045H3045H7200H4611 19But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter; And I did not know that they had devised plots 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 be remembered no more."H3532H441H2986H2873H3045H2803H4284H7843H6086H3899H3772H776H2416H8034H2142 20But, O LORD of hosts, who judges righteously, Who tries the feelings and the heart, Let me see Thy vengeance on them, For to Thee have I committed my cause.H3068H6635H8199H6664H974H3629H3820H7200H5360H1540H7379 21Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, "Do not prophesy in the name of the LORD, that you might not die at our hand";H559H3068H582H6068H1245H5315H559H5012H8034H3068H4191H3027 22therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts, "Behold, I am about to punish them! The young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters will die by famine;H559H3068H6635H6485H970H4191H2719H1121H1323H4191H7458 23and a remnant will not be left to them, for I will bring disaster on the men of Anathoth— the year of their punishment.
