Amplified Bible Help
16THE WORD of the Lord came also to me, saying,H1697H3068H559 2You shall not take a wife or have sons and daughters in this place [Jerusalem].H3947H802H1121H1323H4725 3For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place and concerning the mothers who bore them and the fathers who begot them in this land:H559H3068H1121H1323H3205H4725H517H3205H1H3209H776 4They shall die of deadly diseases. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried, but they shall be like dung upon the face of the ground. They shall perish {and} be consumed by the sword and by famine, and their dead bodies shall be food for the fowls of the air and for the beasts of the earth.H4191H8463H4463H5594H6912H1828H6440H127H3615H2719H7458H5038H3978H5775H8064H929H776 5For thus says the Lord: Enter not into the house of mourning, nor go to lament or bemoan [the dead], for I have taken away My peace from this people, says the Lord, even My steadfast love {and} loving-kindness and tender mercy.H559H3068H935H1004H4798H3212H5594H5110H622H7965H5971H5002H3068H2617H7356 6Both the great and the small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them or cut themselves or make themselves bald for them.H1419H6996H4191H776H6912H5594H1413H7139 7Neither shall men prepare food for the mourners to comfort them for the dead; nor shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.H6536H60H5162H4191H3563H8575H8248H1H517 8And you [Jeremiah] 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: Behold, I will cause to cease from this place before your very eyes and in your days 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 these people all these words and they inquire of you, Why has the Lord decreed all this enormous evil against us? Or, What is our iniquity? Or, What is the sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?H5046H5971H1697H559H3068H1696H1419H7451H5771H2403H2398H3068H430 11Then you shall say to them, [It is] because your fathers have forsaken Me, says the Lord, and have walked after other gods and have served and worshiped them and have forsaken Me and have not kept My law,H559H1H5800H5002H3068H3212H310H312H430H5647H7812H5800H8104H8451 12And because you have done worse than your fathers. For behold, every one of you walks after the stubbornness of his own evil heart, so that you do not listen to {and} obey Me.H6213H7489H1H2009H1980H376H310H8307H7451H3820H8085 13Therefore I will cast you out of this land [of Judah] into the land [of the Babylonians] neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor there.H2904H776H776H3045H1H5647H312H430H3119H3915H5414H2594 14Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when it shall no more be said, As the Lord lives, Who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt,H3117H935H5002H3068H559H3068H2416H5927H1121H3478H776H4714 15But, As the Lord lives, Who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries to which He had driven them. And I will bring them again to their land which I gave to their fathers.H3068H2416H5927H1121H3478H776H6828H776H5080H7725H127H5414H1 16Behold, I will send for many fishers, says the Lord, and they will fish them out; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain and from 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 face, neither is their iniquity concealed from My eyes.H5869H1870H5641H6440H5771H6845H5048H5869 18First [before I bring them back to their land] I will doubly recompense {and} punish them for their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols and with the abominable things offered to false gods with which they have filled My inheritance.H7223H7999H5771H2403H4932H2490H776H4390H5159H5038H8251H8441 19[Then said Jeremiah] O Lord, my Strength and my Stronghold, and my Refuge in the day of affliction, to You shall the nations come from the ends of the earth and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, emptiness, {and} futility, worthless things in which there is no profit!H3068H5797H4581H4498H3117H6869H1471H935H657H776H559H1H5157H8267H1892H3276 20Can a man make gods for himself? Such are not gods!H120H6213H430H430 21Therefore [says the Lord] behold, I will make them know--[yes] this once I will make them know My power and My might; and they will know {and} recognize that My name is the Lord.H6471H3045H3045H3027H1369H3045H8034H3068
