Jeremiah 4
4If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.H7725H3478H5002H3068H7725H5493H8251H6440H51102And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.H7650H3068H2416H571H4941H6666H1471H1288H19843For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.H559H3068H376H3063H3389H5214H5215H2232H69754Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.H4135H3068H5493H6190H3824H376H3063H3427H3389H2534H3318H784H1197H3518H6440H7455H46115Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.H5046H3063H8085H3389H559H8628H7782H776H7121H4390H559H622H935H4013H58926Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.H5375H5251H6726H5756H5975H935H7451H6828H1419H76677The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.H738H5927H5441H7843H1471H5265H3318H4725H7760H776H8047H5892H5327H34278For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.H2296H8242H5594H3213H2740H639H3068H77259And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.H3117H5002H3068H3820H4428H6H3820H8269H3548H8074H5030H853910Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.H559H162H136H3069H403H5377H5377H5971H3389H559H7965H2719H5060H531511At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,H6256H559H5971H3389H6703H7307H8205H4057H1870H1323H5971H2219H130512Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.H4392H7307H935H1696H494113Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.H5927H6051H4818H5492H5483H7043H5404H188H770314O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?H3389H3526H3820H7451H3467H205H4284H3885H713015For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.H6963H5046H1835H8085H205H2022H66916Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.H2142H1471H8085H3389H5341H935H4801H776H5414H6963H5892H306317As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.H8104H7704H5439H4784H5002H306818Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.H1870H4611H6213H7451H4751H5060H382019My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.H4578H4578H2342H3176H7023H3820H3820H1993H2790H8085H5315H6963H7782H8643H442120Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.H7667H7667H7121H776H7703H6597H168H7703H3407H728121How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?H7200H5251H8085H6963H778222For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.H5971H191H3045H5530H1121H995H2450H7489H3190H304523I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.H7200H776H8414H922H8064H21624I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.H7200H2022H7493H1389H704325I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.H7200H120H5775H8064H507426I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.H7200H3759H4057H5892H5422H6440H3068H2740H63927For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.H3068H559H776H8077H6213H361728For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.H776H56H8064H4605H6937H1696H2161H5162H772529The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.H5892H1272H6963H6571H7198H7411H935H5645H5927H3710H5892H5800H376H3427H200430And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.H7703H6213H3847H8144H5710H5716H2091H7167H5869H6320H7723H3302H5689H3988H1245H531531For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.H8085H6963H2470H6869H1069H6963H1323H6726H3306H6566H3709H188H5315H5888H2026
