emnant of Yisrael 2035 as a vine: pass your hand again
over the branches as a grape gatherer.
10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they
may hear? See, their ear is uncircumcised, and they
cannot hear: see, the word of vuvh is to them a reproach;
they have no delight in it.
11 Therefore I am full of the wrath of vuvh; I am weary of
holding it in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad,
and upon the congregation of young men together: for
even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged
with him that is old.
12 And their houses shall be given to others, with their
fields and wives together: for I will stretch out My hand
upon the inhabitants of the land, says vuvh.
13 For from the least of them even to the greatest of them
everyone is given to greed; and from the navi even to the
kohen every one deals falsely.
14 They have healed also the harm of the daughter of My
people slightly, saying, Shalom, shalom; when there is no
shalom.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed
abominations? No! They were not at all ashamed, neither
could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them
that fall: at the time that I visit them with punishment they
shall be cast down, says vuvh.
16 This says vuvh, Stand in the derech, and see, and ask
for the old paths, where is the tov derech, and have your
walk in it, and you shall find rest for your beings. But they
said, We will not walk in it. 2036
17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Listen to the
sound of the shofar. But they said, We will not listen. 2037
18 Therefore hear, all nations, 2038 and know, O
congregation, 2039 what is now upon them.
19 Listen, O earth: see, I will bring evil upon this people,
even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not
listened to My words, nor to My Torah, but rejected it.
20 To what purpose comes to Me the incense from Sheva,
and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt
offerings are not acceptable, nor are your sacrifices
sweet to Me.
21 Therefore this says vuvh, See, I will lay stumbling
blocks before this people, and the ahvot and the sons
together shall fall upon them; the neighbor and his
chaver shall perish.
22 This says vuvh, See, a people comes from the north
country, and a great nation shall be raised from the
farthest parts of the earth.
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel,
and have no rachamim; their voice roars like the sea; and
they ride upon horses, set in battle gear as men for war
against you, O daughter of Tzion.
24 We have heard the fame of them: our hands grow
weak: anguish has taken hold of us, and pain, as of a
woman in labor.
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the derech; for
the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
26 O daughter of My people, dress in sackcloth, and
cover yourself in ashes: make mourning, as for an only
son, most bitter lamentation: for the plunderer shall
suddenly come upon us.
27 I have set you for a tester and a stronghold among My
people, that you may know and try their derech.
28 They are all serious rebels, walking as slanderers:
YIRMEYAHU - JEREMIAH
- 309 -
they are bronze and iron; they are all corrupters.
29 The bellows are burned, the fire consumes the lead;
the refiner melts in vanity: for the wicked are not plucked
away.
30 Rejected silver shall men call them, because vuvh has
rejected them.
7
The word that came to Yirmeyahu from vuvh, saying,
2 Stand in the gate of vuvh's Bayit, and proclaim there
this word, and say, Hear the word of vuvh, all you of
Yahudah, that enter in at these gates to worship vuvh.
3 This says vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of Yisrael, Change
your derachot and your doings, and I will cause you to
dwell in this place.
4 Trust not in lying words, saying, The Hekal of vuvh,
The Hekal of vuvh, The Hekal of vuvh.
5 For if you completely change your derachot and your
doings; if you completely execute mishpat between a man
and his neighbor;
6 If you oppress not the ger, the fatherless, and the
widow, and shed not innocent dahm in this place, neither
follow after other elohim to your own harm:
7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land
that I gave to your ahvot, le-olam-va-ed.
8 See, that you do not trust in a lying word that cannot
profit.
9 Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear
falsely, and burn incense to Ba’al, and walk after other
elohim whom you know not;
10 And then come and stand before Me in this Bayit,
which is called by My Name, and say, We have been
delivered to do all these abominations?
11 Has this Bayit, which is called by My Name, become a
den of robbers in your eyes? See, even I have seen it, says
vuvh.
12 But go now to My place that was in Shiloh, where I put
My Name at first, and see what I did to it for the
wickedness of My people Yisrael.
13 And now, because you have done all these works, says
vuvh, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking,
but you did not hear; and I called to you, but you
answered not;
14 Therefore will I do to this Bayit, which is called by My
Name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to
you and to your ahvot, as I have done to Shiloh.
15 And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out
all your brothers, even the whole zera of Efrayim. 2040
16 Therefore do not make tefillah for this people, neither
lift up a cry, or a tefillah for them, neither make
intercession to Me: for I will not hear you. 2041
17 Don’t you see what they do in the cities of Yahudah
and in the streets of Yahrushalayim?
18 The children gather wood, and the ahvot kindle the
fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to
the malka of the shamayim, 2042 and to pour out drink
offerings to other elohim, that they may provoke Me to
anger.
19 Do they provoke Me to anger? Says vuvh: Do they not
provoke themselves to the shame and confusion of their
own faces?
20 Therefore this says the Master vuvh; See, My anger and
My wrath shall be poured out upon this place, upon man,
and upon beast, and upon the eytzim of the field, and upon
