Amplified Bible Help
17THE SIN of Judah is written with a pen {or} stylus of iron and with the point of a diamond; it is engraved on the tablets of their hearts and on the horns of their altars,H2403H3063H3789H5842H1270H6856H8068H2790H3871H3820H7161H4196 2While their children [earnestly] remember their [heathen] altars and their Asherim [wooden symbols of the goddess Asherah] beside the green trees upon the high hills.H1121H2142H4196H842H7488H6086H1364H1389 3O [Jerusalem] My mountain in the field, I will give your wealth {and} all your treasures to the spoil and your high places for sin [as the price of your sin] throughout all your territory.H2042H7704H5414H2428H214H957H1116H2403H1366 4And you, through your own fault, will loosen your hand {and} discontinue from your heritage which I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in a land which you do not know, for you have kindled a fire in My anger which will burn throughout the ages.H8058H5159H5414H5647H341H776H3045H6919H784H639H3344H5704H5769 5Thus says the Lord: Cursed [with great evil] is the strong man who trusts in {and} relies on frail man, making weak [human] flesh his arm, and whose mind {and} heart turn aside from the Lord.H559H3068H779H1397H982H120H7760H1320H2220H3820H5493H3068 6For he shall be like a shrub {or} a person naked and destitute in the desert; and he shall not see any good come, but shall dwell in the parched places in the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.H6199H6160H7200H2896H935H7931H2788H4057H4420H776H3427 7[Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, {and} relies on the Lord, and whose hope {and} confidence the Lord is.H1288H1397H982H3068H4009H3068 8For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see {and} fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious {and} full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit.H6086H8362H4325H7971H8328H3105H7200H2527H935H5929H7488H1672H8141H1226H4185H6213H6529 9The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly perverse {and} corrupt and severely, mortally sick! Who can know it [perceive, understand, be acquainted with his own heart and mind]?H3820H6121H605H3045 10I the Lord search the mind, I try the heart, even to give to every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.H3068H2713H3820H974H3629H5414H376H1870H6529H4611 11Like the partridge that gathers a brood which she did not hatch {and} sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches by unjust means {and} not by right. He will leave them, {or} they will leave him, in the midst of his days, and at his end he will be a fool.H7124H1716H3205H6213H6239H4941H5800H2677H3117H319H5036 12A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary (the temple).H3519H4791H3678H7223H4725H4720 13O Lord, the Hope of Israel, all who forsake You shall be put to shame. They who depart from You {and} me [Your prophet] shall [disappear like] writing upon the ground, because they have forsaken the Lord, the Fountain of living waters.H3068H4723H3478H5800H954H3249H5493H3789H776H5800H3068H4726H2416H4325 14Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for You are my praise.H7495H3068H7495H3467H3467H8416 15Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of the Lord [predicting the disaster that you said would befall us]? Let it come now!H559H1697H3068H935 16But as for me, I have not sought to escape from being a shepherd after You, nor have I desired the woeful day [of judgment]; You know that. Whatever I said was spoken in Your presence {and} was from You.H213H7462H310H183H605H3117H3045H4161H8193H5227H6440 17Be not a terror to me; You are my refuge {and} my hope in the day of evil.H4288H4268H3117H7451 18Let those be put to shame who persecute me, but let me not be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed. Bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.H954H7291H954H2865H2865H935H3117H7451H7665H4932H7670 19Thus said the Lord to me: Go and stand in the gate of the sons of the people, through which the kings of Judah enter and through which they go out, and also [stand] in all the gates of Jerusalem.H559H3068H1980H5975H8179H1121H5971H4428H3063H935H3318H8179H3389 20Say to them, Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem who enter through these gates.H559H8085H1697H3068H4428H3063H3063H3427H3389H935H8179 21Thus says the Lord: Take heed to yourselves {and} for the sake of your lives bear no burden on the Sabbath day or bring it in through the gates of Jerusalem.H559H3068H8104H5315H5375H4853H7676H3117H935H8179H3389 22And do not carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day or do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy (set apart to the worship of God), as I commanded your fathers.H3318H4853H1004H7676H3117H6213H4399H6942H7676H3117H6680H1 23Yet they would not listen {and} obey or incline their ears; but they stiffened their necks, that they might not hear and might not receive instruction.H8085H5186H241H6203H7185H8085H3947H4148 24But if you diligently listen to {and} obey Me, says the Lord, and bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but keep the Sabbath day holy (set apart to the worship of God), to do no work on it,H8085H8085H5002H3068H935H4853H8179H5892H7676H3117H6942H7676H3117H6213H1115H4399 25Then there will enter through the gates of this city kings and princes who will sit upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses--the kings and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city will be inhabited {and} last throughout the ages.H935H8179H5892H4428H8269H3427H3678H1732H7392H7393H5483H8269H376H3063H3427H3389H5892H3427H5769 26And people shall come from the cities of Judah and the places round about Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the lowland, from the hill country, and from the South (the Negeb), bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, cereal offerings and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving to the house of the Lord.H935H5892H3063H5439H3389H776H1144H8219H2022H5045H935H5930H2077H4503H3828H935H8426H1004H3068 27But if you will not listen to Me to keep the Sabbath day holy (set apart to the worship of God), and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem [with one] on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in her gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.H8085H6942H7676H3117H5375H4853H935H8179H3389H7676H3117H3341H784H8179H398H759H3389H3518
