Jeremiah 6
New International Version (1984) Help
6"Flee for safety, people of Benjamin! Flee from Jerusalem! Sound the trumpet in Tekoa! Raise the signal over Beth Hakkerem! For disaster looms out of the north, even terrible destruction.H1121H1144H5756H7130H3389H8628H7782H8620H5375H4864H1021H7451H8259H6828H1419H7667
2I will destroy the Daughter of Zion, so beautiful and delicate.H1820H1323H6726H5116H6026
3Shepherds with their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents around her, each tending his own portion."H7462H5739H935H8628H168H5439H7462H376H3027
4"Prepare for battle against her! Arise, let us attack at noon! But, alas, the daylight is fading, and the shadows of evening grow long.H6942H4421H6965H5927H6672H188H3117H6437H6752H6153H5186
5So arise, let us attack at night and destroy her fortresses!"H6965H5927H3915H7843H759
6This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Cut down the trees and build siege ramps against Jerusalem. This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression.H3068H6635H559H3772H6097H8210H5550H3389H5892H6485H6233H7130
7As a well pours out its water, so she pours out her wickedness. Violence and destruction resound in her; her sickness and wounds are ever before me.H953H6979H4325H6979H7451H2555H7701H8085H6440H8548H2483H4347
8Take warning, O Jerusalem, or I will turn away from you and make your land desolate so no one can live in it."H3256H3389H5315H3363H7760H8077H776H3427
9This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Let them glean the remnant of Israel as thoroughly as a vine; pass your hand over the branches again, like one gathering grapes."H559H3068H6635H5953H5953H7611H3478H1612H7725H3027H1219H5552
10To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed so they cannot hear. The word of the LORD is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it.H1696H5749H8085H241H6189H3201H7181H1697H3068H2781H2654
11But I am full of the wrath of the LORD, and I cannot hold it in. "Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together; both husband and wife will be caught in it, and the old, those weighed down with years.H4392H2534H3068H3811H3557H8210H5768H2351H5475H970H3162H376H802H3920H2205H4390H3117
12Their houses will be turned over to others, together with their fields and their wives, when I stretch out my hand against those who live in the land," declares the LORD.H1004H5437H312H7704H802H3162H5186H3027H3427H776H5002H3068
13"From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit.H6996H1419H1214H1215H5030H3548H6213H8267
14They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace.H7495H7667H1323H5971H7043H559H7965H7965H7965
15Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them," says the LORD.H3001H6213H8441H1571H954H954H1571H3045H3637H5307H5307H6256H6485H3782H559H3068
16This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it.'H559H3068H5975H1870H7200H7592H5769H5410H2896H1870H3212H4672H4771H5315H559H3212
17I appointed watchmen over you and said, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But you said, 'We will not listen.'H6965H6822H7181H6963H7782H559H7181
18Therefore hear, O nations; observe, O witnesses, what will happen to them.H8085H1471H3045H5712
19Hear, O earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law.H8085H776H935H7451H5971H6529H4284H7181H1697H8451H3988
20What do I care about incense from Sheba or sweet calamus from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please me."H935H3828H7614H2896H7070H4801H776H5930H7522H2077H6149
21Therefore this is what the LORD says: "I will put obstacles before this people. Fathers and sons alike will stumble over them; neighbors and friends will perish."H559H3068H5414H4383H5971H1H1121H3162H3782H7934H7453H6
22This is what the LORD says: "Look, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is being stirred up from the ends of the earth.H559H3068H5971H935H6828H776H1419H1471H5782H3411H776
23They are armed with bow and spear; they are cruel and show no mercy. They sound like the roaring sea as they ride on their horses; they come like men in battle formation to attack you, O Daughter of Zion."H2388H7198H3591H394H7355H6963H1993H3220H7392H5483H6186H376H4421H1323H6726
24We have heard reports about them, and our hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped us, pain like that of a woman in labor.H8085H8089H3027H7503H6869H2388H2427H3205
25Do not go out to the fields or walk on the roads, for the enemy has a sword, and there is terror on every side.H3318H7704H3212H1870H2719H341H4032H5439
26O my people, put on sackcloth and roll in ashes; mourn with bitter wailing as for an only son, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.H1323H5971H2296H8242H6428H665H6213H60H3173H8563H4553H7703H6597H935
27"I have made you a tester of metals and my people the ore, that you may observe and test their ways.H5414H969H4013H5971H3045H974H1870
28They are all hardened rebels, going about to slander. They are bronze and iron; they all act corruptly.H5493H5637H1980H7400H5178H1270H7843
29The bellows blow fiercely to burn away the lead with fire, but the refining goes on in vain; the wicked are not purged out.H4647H2787H5777H8552H800H784H6884H6884H7723H7451H5423
30They are called rejected silver, because the LORD has rejected them."H3988H3701H7121H3068H3988
