Jeremiah 15

The Message Bible MSG

1 Then God said to me: "Jeremiah, even if Moses and Samuel stood here and made their case, I wouldn't feel a thing for this people. Get them out of here. Tell them to get lost!

2 And if they ask you, 'So where do we go?' tell them God says, "'If you're assigned to die, go and die; if assigned to war, go and get killed; If assigned to starve, go starve; if assigned to exile, off to exile you go!'

3 "I've arranged for four kinds of punishment: death in battle, the corpses dropped off by killer dogs, the rest picked clean by vultures, the bones gnawed by hyenas.

4 They'll be a sight to see, a sight to shock the whole world - and all because of Manasseh son of Hezekiah and all he did in Jerusalem.

5 "Who do you think will feel sorry for you, Jerusalem? Who do you think will waste tears on you? Who will bother to take the time to ask, 'So, how are things going?'

6 "You left me, remember?" God's Decree. "You turned your back and walked out. So I will grab you and hit you hard. I'm tired of letting you off the hook.

7 I threw you to the four winds and let the winds scatter you like leaves. I made sure you'll lose everything, since nothing makes you change.

8 I created more widows among you than grains of sand on the ocean beaches. At noon mothers will get the news of their sons killed in action. Sudden anguish for the mothers - all those terrible deaths.

9 A mother of seven falls to the ground, gasping for breath, Robbed of her children in their prime. Her sun sets at high noon! Then I'll round up any of you that are left alive and see that you're killed by your enemies." God's Decree. Giving Everything Away for Nothing

10 Unlucky mother - that you had me as a son, given the unhappy job of indicting the whole country! I've never hurt or harmed a soul, and yet everyone is out to get me.

11 But, God knows, I've done everything I could to help them, prayed for them and against their enemies. I've always been on their side, trying to stave off disaster. God knows how I've tried!

12 "O Israel, O Judah, what are your chances against the iron juggernaut from the north?

13 In punishment for your sins, I'm giving away everything you've got, giving it away for nothing.

14 I'll make you slaves to your enemies in a strange and far-off land. My anger is blazing and fierce, burning in hot judgment against you."

15 You know where I am, God! Remember what I'm doing here! Take my side against my detractors. Don't stand back while they ruin me. Just look at the abuse I'm taking!

16 When your words showed up, I ate them - swallowed them whole. What a feast! What delight I took in being yours, O God, God-of-the-Angel-Armies!

17 I never joined the party crowd in their laughter and their fun. Led by you, I went off by myself. You'd filled me with indignation. Their sin had me seething.

18 But why, why this chronic pain, this ever worsening wound and no healing in sight? You're nothing, God, but a mirage, a lovely oasis in the distance - and then nothing!

19 This is how God answered me: "Take back those words, and I'll take you back. Then you'll stand tall before me. Use words truly and well. Don't stoop to cheap whining. Then, but only then, you'll speak for me. Let your words change them. Don't change your words to suit them.

20 I'll turn you into a steel wall, a thick steel wall, impregnable. They'll attack you but won't put a dent in you because I'm at your side, defending and delivering." God's Decree.

21 "I'll deliver you from the grip of the wicked. I'll get you out of the clutch of the ruthless."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et dixit Dominus ad me si steterit Moses et Samuhel coram me non est anima mea ad populum istum eice illos a facie mea et egrediantur

2 quod si dixerint ad te quo egrediemur dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus qui ad mortem ad mortem et qui ad gladium ad gladium et qui ad famem ad famem et qui ad captivitatem ad captivitatem

3 et visitabo super eos quattuor species dicit Dominus gladium ad occisionem et canes ad lacerandum et volatilia caeli et bestias terrae ad devorandum et dissipandum

4 et dabo eos in fervorem universis regnis terrae propter Manassem filium Ezechiae regis Iuda super omnibus quae fecit in Hierusalem

5 quis enim miserebitur tui Hierusalem aut quis contristabitur pro te aut quis ibit ad rogandum pro pace tua

6 tu reliquisti me dicit Dominus retrorsum abisti et extendam manum meam super te et interficiam te laboravi rogans

7 et dispergam eos ventilabro in portis terrae interfeci et perdidi populum meum et tamen a viis suis non sunt reversi

8 multiplicatae sunt mihi viduae eius super harenam maris induxi eis super matrem adulescentis vastatorem meridie misi super civitates repente terrorem

9 infirmata est quae peperit septem defecit anima eius occidit ei sol cum adhuc esset dies confusa est et erubuit et residuos eius in gladium dabo in conspectu inimicorum eorum ait Dominus

10 vae mihi mater mea quare genuisti me virum rixae virum discordiae in universa terra non feneravi nec feneravit mihi quisquam omnes maledicunt mihi

11 dicit Dominus si non reliquiae tuae in bonum si non occurri tibi in tempore adflictionis et in tempore tribulationis adversum inimicum

12 numquid foederabitur ferrum ferro ab aquilone et aes

13 divitias tuas et thesauros tuos in direptionem dabo gratis in omnibus peccatis tuis et in omnibus terminis tuis

14 et adducam inimicos tuos de terra qua nescis quia ignis succensus est in furore meo super vos ardebit

15 tu scis Domine recordare mei et visita me et tuere me ab his qui persequuntur me noli in patientia tua suscipere me scito quoniam sustinui pro te obprobrium

16 inventi sunt sermones tui et comedi eos et factum est mihi verbum tuum in gaudium et in laetitiam cordis mei quoniam invocatum est nomen tuum super me Domine Deus exercituum

17 non sedi in concilio ludentium et gloriatus sum a facie manus tuae solus sedebam quoniam comminatione replesti me

18 quare factus est dolor meus perpetuus et plaga mea desperabilis rennuit curari facta est mihi quasi mendacium aquarum infidelium

19 propter hoc haec dicit Dominus si converteris convertam te et ante faciem meam stabis et si separaveris pretiosum a vili quasi os meum eris convertentur ipsi ad te et tu non converteris ad eos

20 et dabo te populo huic in murum aereum fortem et bellabunt adversum te et non praevalebunt quia ego tecum sum ut salvem te et eruam dicit Dominus

21 et liberabo te de manu pessimorum et redimam te de manu fortium
