Jeremiah’s Celibacy and Message

16The word of the LORD came to me:H1697H3068H559 2You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place.H3947H802H1121H1323H4725 3For thus says the LORD concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and concerning the mothers who bear them and the fathers who beget them in this land:H559H3068H1121H1323H3205H4725H517H3205H1H3209H776 4They shall die of deadly diseases. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried; they shall become like dung on the surface of the ground. They shall perish by the sword and by famine, and their dead bodies shall become food for the birds of the air and for the wild animals of the earth.H4191H8463H4463H5594H6912H1828H6440H127H3615H2719H7458H5038H3978H5775H8064H929H776 5For thus says the LORD: Do not enter the house of mourning, or go to lament, or bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, says the LORD, my steadfast love and mercy.H559H3068H935H1004H4798H3212H5594H5110H622H7965H5971H5002H3068H2617H7356 6Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, and no one shall lament for them; there shall be no gashing, no shaving of the head for them.H1419H6996H4191H776H6912H5594H1413H7139 7No one shall break bread for the mourner, to offer comfort for the dead; nor shall anyone give them the cup of consolation to drink for their fathers or their mothers.H6536H60H5162H4191H3563H8575H8248H1H517 8You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink.H935H1004H4960H3427H398H8354 9For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: I am going to banish from this place, in your days and before your eyes, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H7673H4725H5869H3117H6963H8342H6963H8057H6963H2860H6963H3618 10And when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, "Why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?"H5046H5971H1697H559H3068H1696H1419H7451H5771H2403H2398H3068H430 11then you shall say to them: It is because your ancestors have forsaken me, says the LORD, and have gone after other gods and have served and worshiped them, and have forsaken me and have not kept my law;H559H1H5800H5002H3068H3212H310H312H430H5647H7812H5800H8104H8451 12and because you have behaved worse than your ancestors, for here you are, every one of you, following your stubborn evil will, refusing to listen to me.H6213H7489H1H2009H1980H376H310H8307H7451H3820H8085 13Therefore I will hurl you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your ancestors have known, and there you shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.H2904H776H776H3045H1H5647H312H430H3119H3915H5414H2594

God Will Restore Israel

14Therefore, the days are surely coming, says the LORD, when it shall no longer be said, "As the LORD lives who brought the people of Israel up out of the land of Egypt,"H3117H935H5002H3068H559H3068H2416H5927H1121H3478H776H4714 15but "As the LORD lives who brought the people of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the lands where he had driven them." For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their ancestors.H3068H2416H5927H1121H3478H776H6828H776H5080H7725H127H5414H1 16I am now sending for many fishermen, says the LORD, and they shall catch them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.H7971H7227H1771H1728H5002H3068H1770H310H7971H7227H6719H6679H2022H1389H5357H5553 17For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my presence, nor is their iniquity concealed from my sight.H5869H1870H5641H6440H5771H6845H5048H5869 18And I will doubly repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.H7223H7999H5771H2403H4932H2490H776H4390H5159H5038H8251H8441 19O LORD, my strength and my stronghold, my refuge in the day of trouble, to you shall the nations come from the ends of the earth and say: Our ancestors have inherited nothing but lies, worthless things in which there is no profit.H3068H5797H4581H4498H3117H6869H1471H935H657H776H559H1H5157H8267H1892H3276 20Can mortals make for themselves gods? Such are no gods!H120H6213H430H430 21"Therefore I am surely going to teach them, this time I am going to teach them my power and my might, and they shall know that my name is the LORD."H6471H3045H3045H3027H1369H3045H8034H3068
