Punishment Is Inevitable

15Then the LORD said to me: Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my heart would not turn toward this people. Send them out of my sight, and let them go!H559H3068H4872H8050H5975H6440H5315H5971H7971H6440H3318 2And when they say to you, "Where shall we go?" you shall say to them: Thus says the LORD: Those destined for pestilence, to pestilence, and those destined for the sword, to the sword; those destined for famine, to famine, and those destined for captivity, to captivity.H559H3318H559H559H3068H4194H4194H2719H2719H7458H7458H7628H7628 3And I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, says the LORD: the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, and the birds of the air and the wild animals of the earth to devour and destroy.H6485H702H4940H5002H3068H2719H2026H3611H5498H5775H8064H929H776H398H7843 4I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what King Manasseh son of Hezekiah of Judah did in Jerusalem.H5414H2189H2113H4467H776H1558H4519H1121H3169H4428H3063H6213H3389 5Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem, or who will bemoan you? Who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?H2550H3389H5110H5493H7592H7965 6You have rejected me, says the LORD, you are going backward; so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you—I am weary of relenting.H5203H5002H3068H3212H268H5186H3027H7843H3811H5162 7I have winnowed them with a winnowing fork in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them, I have destroyed my people; they did not turn from their ways.H2219H4214H8179H776H7921H6H5971H7725H1870 8Their widows became more numerous than the sand of the seas; I have brought against the mothers of youths a destroyer at noonday; I have made anguish and terror fall upon her suddenly.H490H6105H2344H3220H935H517H970H7703H6672H5307H6597H928H5892 9She who bore seven has languished; she has swooned away; her sun went down while it was yet day; she has been shamed and disgraced. And the rest of them I will give to the sword before their enemies, says the LORD.H3205H7651H535H5301H5315H8121H935H3119H3117H954H2659H7611H5414H2719H6440H341H5002H3068

Jeremiah Complains Again and Is Reassured

10Woe is me, my mother, that you ever bore me, a man of strife and contention to the whole land! I have not lent, nor have I borrowed, yet all of them curse me.H188H517H3205H376H7379H376H4066H776H5383H5383H7043 11The LORD said: Surely I have intervened in your life for good, surely I have imposed enemies on you in a time of trouble and in a time of distress.H3068H559H3808H518H2896H8281H8293H518H341H6293H6256H7451H6256H6869 12Can iron and bronze break iron from the north?H1270H7489H6828H1270H5178 13Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder, without price, for all your sins, throughout all your territory.H2428H214H5414H957H4242H2403H1366 14I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever.H5674H341H776H3045H784H6919H639H3344 15O LORD, you know; remember me and visit me, and bring down retribution for me on my persecutors. In your forbearance do not take me away; know that on your account I suffer insult.H3068H3045H2142H6485H5358H7291H3947H639H750H3045H5375H2781 16Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart; for I am called by your name, O LORD, God of hosts.H1697H4672H398H1697H8342H8057H3824H7121H8034H3068H430H6635 17I did not sit in the company of merrymakers, nor did I rejoice; under the weight of your hand I sat alone, for you had filled me with indignation.H3427H5475H7832H5937H3427H910H6440H3027H4390H2195 18Why is my pain unceasing, my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Truly, you are to me like a deceitful brook, like waters that fail.H3511H5331H4347H605H3985H7495H391H4325H539 19Therefore thus says the LORD: If you turn back, I will take you back, and you shall stand before me. If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless, you shall serve as my mouth. It is they who will turn to you, not you who will turn to them.H559H3068H7725H7725H5975H6440H3318H3368H2151H6310H7725H7725 20And I will make you to this people a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you, but they shall not prevail over you, for I am with you to save you and deliver you, says the LORD.H5414H5971H1219H5178H2346H3898H3201H3467H5337H5002H3068 21I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.H5337H3027H7451H6299H3709H6184
