Judah’s Sin and Punishment

17"The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; With the point of a diamond it is engraved On the tablet of their heart, And on the horns of your altars,H2403H3063H3789H5842H1270H6856H8068H2790H3871H3820H7161H4196 2While their children remember Their altars and their wooden images By the green trees on the high hills.H1121H2142H4196H842H7488H6086H1364H1389 3O My mountain in the field, I will give as plunder your wealth, all your treasures, And your high places of sin within all your borders.H2042H7704H5414H2428H214H957H1116H2403H1366 4And you, even yourself, Shall let go of your heritage which I gave you; And I will cause you to serve your enemies In the land which you do not know; For you have kindled a fire in My anger which shall burn forever."H8058H5159H5414H5647H341H776H3045H6919H784H639H3344H5704H5769 5Thus says the LORD: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD.H559H3068H779H1397H982H120H7760H1320H2220H3820H5493H3068 6For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited.H6199H6160H7200H2896H935H7931H2788H4057H4420H776H3427 7"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD.H1288H1397H982H3068H4009H3068 8For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.H6086H8362H4325H7971H8328H3105H7200H2527H935H5929H7488H1672H8141H1226H4185H6213H6529 9"The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?H3820H6121H605H3045 10I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.H3068H2713H3820H974H3629H5414H376H1870H6529H4611 11"As a partridge that broods but does not hatch, So is he who gets riches, but not by right; It will leave him in the midst of his days, And at his end he will be a fool."H7124H1716H3205H6213H6239H4941H5800H2677H3117H319H5036 12A glorious high throne from the beginning Is the place of our sanctuary.H3519H4791H3678H7223H4725H4720 13O LORD, the hope of Israel, All who forsake You shall be ashamed. "Those who depart from Me Shall be written in the earth, Because they have forsaken the LORD, The fountain of living waters."H3068H4723H3478H5800H954H3249H5493H3789H776H5800H3068H4726H2416H4325

Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance

14Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.H7495H3068H7495H3467H3467H8416 15Indeed they say to me, "Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come now!"H559H1697H3068H935 16As for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows You, Nor have I desired the woeful day; You know what came out of my lips; It was right there before You.H213H7462H310H183H605H3117H3045H4161H8193H5227H6440 17Do not be a terror to me; You are my hope in the day of doom.H4288H4268H3117H7451 18Let them be ashamed who persecute me, But do not let me be put to shame; Let them be dismayed, But do not let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of doom, And destroy them with double destruction!H954H7291H954H2865H2865H935H3117H7451H7665H4932H7670

Hallow the Sabbath Day

19Thus the LORD said to me: "Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;H559H3068H1980H5975H8179H1121H5971H4428H3063H935H3318H8179H3389 20"and say to them, 'Hear the word of the LORD, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter by these gates.H559H8085H1697H3068H4428H3063H3063H3427H3389H935H8179 21'Thus says the LORD: "Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;H559H3068H8104H5315H5375H4853H7676H3117H935H8179H3389 22"nor carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day, nor do any work, but hallow the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.H3318H4853H1004H7676H3117H6213H4399H6942H7676H3117H6680H1 23"But they did not obey nor incline their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear nor receive instruction.H8085H5186H241H6203H7185H8085H3947H4148 24"And it shall be, if you heed Me carefully," says the LORD, "to bring no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but hallow the Sabbath day, to do no work in it,H8085H8085H5002H3068H935H4853H8179H5892H7676H3117H6942H7676H3117H6213H1115H4399 25"then shall enter the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, accompanied by the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.H935H8179H5892H4428H8269H3427H3678H1732H7392H7393H5483H8269H376H3063H3427H3389H5892H3427H5769 26"And they shall come from the cities of Judah and from the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin and from the lowland, from the mountains and from the South, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and incense, bringing sacrifices of praise to the house of the LORD.H935H5892H3063H5439H3389H776H1144H8219H2022H5045H935H5930H2077H4503H3828H935H8426H1004H3068 27"But if you will not heed Me to hallow the Sabbath day, such as not carrying a burden when entering the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched."'"H8085H6942H7676H3117H5375H4853H935H8179H3389H7676H3117H3341H784H8179H398H759H3389H3518
