Doom for the People of Judah

Others are doomed to be taken away as prisoners - that's where they will go!H559H3318H559H559H3068H4194H4194H2719H2719H7458H7458H7628H7628
3I, the LORD, have decided that four terrible things will happen to them: they will be killed in war; their bodies will be dragged off by dogs; birds will eat them, and wild animals will devour what is left over.H6485H702H4940H5002H3068H2719H2026H3611H5498H5775H8064H929H776H398H7843
4I will make all the people of the world horrified at them because of what Hezekiah's son Manasseh did in Jerusalem when he was king of Judah."H5414H2189H2113H4467H776H1558H4519H1121H3169H4428H3063H6213H3389
5The LORD says, "Who will pity you, people of Jerusalem, and who will grieve over you? Who will stop long enough to ask how you are?H2550H3389H5110H5493H7592H7965

Jeremiah Complains to the Lord

10What an unhappy man I am! Why did my mother bring me into the world? I have to quarrel and argue with everyone in the land. I have not lent any money or borrowed any; yet everyone curses me.H188H517H3205H376H7379H376H4066H776H5383H5383H7043
11LORD, may all their curses come true if I have not served you well, if I have not pleaded with you on behalf of my enemies when they were in trouble and distress.H3068H559H3808H518H2896H8281H8293H518H341H6293H6256H7451H6256H6869
12(No one can break iron, especially the iron from the north that is mixed with bronze.)H1270H7489H6828H1270H5178
13The LORD said to me, "I will send enemies to carry away the wealth and treasures of my people, in order to punish them for the sins they have committed throughout the land.H2428H214H5414H957H4242H2403H1366
14I will make them serve their enemies in a land they know nothing about, because my anger is like fire, and it will burn forever."H5674H341H776H3045H784H6919H639H3344
15Then I said, " LORD, you understand. Remember me and help me. Let me have revenge on those who persecute me. Do not be so patient with them that they succeed in killing me. Remember that it is for your sake that I am insulted.H3068H3045H2142H6485H5358H7291H3947H639H750H3045H5375H2781
16You spoke to me, and I listened to every word. I belong to you, LORD God Almighty, and so your words filled my heart with joy and happiness.H1697H4672H398H1697H8342H8057H3824H7121H8034H3068H430H6635
17I did not spend my time with other people, laughing and having a good time. In obedience to your orders I stayed by myself and was filled with anger.H3427H5475H7832H5937H3427H910H6440H3027H4390H2195
18Why do I keep on suffering? Why are my wounds incurable? Why won't they heal? Do you intend to disappoint me like a stream that goes dry in the summer?"H3511H5331H4347H605H3985H7495H391H4325H539
19To this the LORD replied, "If you return, I will take you back, and you will be my servant again. If instead of talking nonsense you proclaim a worthwhile message, you will be my prophet again. The people will come back to you, and you will not need to go to them.H559H3068H7725H7725H5975H6440H3318H3368H2151H6310H7725H7725
20I will make you like a solid bronze wall as far as they are concerned. They will fight against you, but they will not defeat you. I will be with you to protect you and keep you safe.H5414H5971H1219H5178H2346H3898H3201H3467H5337H5002H3068
21I will rescue you from the power of wicked and violent people. I, the LORD, have spoken."H5337H3027H7451H6299H3709H6184
