Jeremiah 15

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 Then the LORD said unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, <em>yet</em> my will <em>would</em> not <em>be</em> toward this people: cast <em>them</em> out of my sight, and let them go forth.

2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Where shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus hath the LORD said: Such as <em>are</em> for death, to death; and such as <em>are</em> for the sword, to the sword; and such as <em>are</em> for the famine, to the famine; and such as <em>are</em> for the captivity, to the captivity.

3 And I will visit over them four kinds <em>of evil</em>, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

4 And I will give them over to be sifted by all the kingdoms of the earth because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for <em>that</em> which he did in Jerusalem.

5 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who is to come to ask regarding thy peace?

6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD; thou art gone backward: therefore, I stretched out my hand over thee and cast thee away; I am tired of repenting.

7 And I fanned them with a fan unto the gates of the land; I bereaved <em>them</em> of children, I wasted my people; they did not turn from their ways.

8 Their widows are multiplied unto me more than the sand of the sea: I have brought upon them a destroyer at noonday against the young; I have caused <em>him</em> to fall upon her suddenly, and terrors upon the city.

9 She that has borne seven languishes; her soul is filled with sorrow; her sun is gone down while <em>it was</em> yet day; she has been ashamed and confounded; and the residue of them I will deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

10 Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; <em>yet</em> every one of them curses me.

11 The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee <em>well</em> in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

12 Shall iron break the iron from the place of the north <em>wind</em> and the bronze?

13 Thy riches and thy treasures I will give to the spoil without price, and <em>that</em> for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.

14 And I will make <em>thee</em> to serve thine enemies in a land <em>which</em> thou dost not know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, <em>which</em> shall burn upon you.

15 O LORD, thou knowest: remember me and visit me and revenge me of my enemies; do not take me away in the prolongation of thy anger, know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.

16 Thy words were found, and I ate them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for thy name was called upon me, O LORD God of the hosts.

17 I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers, nor did I become puffed up by reason of thy prophecy; I sat alone because thou hast filled me with indignation.

18 Why was my pain perpetual and my wound incurable, <em>which</em> refuses to be healed? Wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar <em>and as</em> waters <em>that</em> fail?

19 Therefore thus hath the LORD said, If thou wilt return, then I will bring thee again, <em>and</em> thou shalt stand before me; and if thou wilt take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth; let them return unto thee, but return not thou unto them.

20 And I will give thee unto this people as a fenced brazen wall, and they shall fight against thee but they shall not prevail against thee: for I <em>am</em> with thee to keep thee and to defend thee, said the LORD.

21 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will ransom thee out of the hand of the strong.

6 You have rejected me,” declares the LORD. “You keep on backsliding. So I will reach out and destroy you; I am tired of holding back.

7 I will winnow them with a winnowing fork at the city gates of the land. I will bring bereavement and destruction on my people, for they have not changed their ways.

9 The mother of seven will grow faint and breathe her last. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. I will put the survivors to the sword before their enemies,” declares the LORD.

16 When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty.
