RESTORATION SCRIPTURES TRUE NAME EDITION Study Bible

20 Shall evil be repaid for tov? For they have dug a pit for
my being. Remember that I stood before You to speak tov
for them, and to turn away Your wrath from them.
21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and
pour out their dahm by the force of the sword; and let
their wives be bereaved of their children, to be widows;
and let their men be put to death; let their young men be
slain by the sword in battle.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when You shall
bring a raiding unit suddenly upon them: for they have
dug a pit to take me, and hidden snares for my feet.
23 Yet, vuvh, You know all their counsel against me to
kill me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin
from Your sight, but let them be overthrown before You;
deal with them in the time of Your anger.
19 This says vuvh, Go and get a potter's earthen jug,
and take of the zechanim of the people, and of the
zechanim of the Kohanim;
2 And go forth to the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which
is by the entrance of the eastern gate, and proclaim there
the words that I shall tell you,
3 And say, Hear the word of vuvh, O melechim of
Yahudah, and inhabitants of Yahrushalayim; This says
vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of Yisrael; See, I will bring evil
upon this place that makes the ears of all who hear tingle.
4 Because they have forsaken Me, and have profaned this
place, and have burned incense in it to other elohim,
whom neither they nor their ahvot have known, nor the
melechim of Yahudah have known, and have filled this
place with the dahm of innocents;
5 They have built also the high places of Ba’al, to burn
their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Ba’al, which I
commanded not, nor spoke it, neither did it come into My
mind:
6 Therefore, see, the days come, says vuvh, that this place
shall no more be called Tophet, nor the Valley of the Son
of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.
7 And I will make void the counsel of Yahudah and
Yahrushalayim in this place; and I will cause them to fall
by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of
those that seek their lives: and their corpses will I give for
food for the fowls of the shamayim, and for the beasts of
the earth.
8 And I will make this city desolate, and a hissing;
everyone that passes by shall be appalled and hiss
because of all its plagues.
9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and
the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one
the flesh of his chaver in the siege and in the distress,
with which their enemies, and they that seek their lives,
shall distress them.
10 Then shall you break the jug in the sight of the men
that go with you,
11 And shall say to them, This says vuvh tzevaoth; Even
so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a
potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and
they shall bury them in Tophet, until there is no place left
for burial.
12 This will I do to this place, says vuvh, and to the
inhabitants of it, and I even will make this city as Tophet:
13 And the houses of Yahrushalayim, and the houses of
the melechim of Yahudah, shall be defiled as the place of
YIRMEYAHU - JEREMIAH
- 317 -
Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they
have burned incense to all the hosts of the shamayim, and
have poured out drink offerings to other elohim.
14 Then Yirmeyahu came from Tophet, where vuvh had
sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of vuvh's
Bayit; and said to all the people,
15 This says vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of Yisrael; See, I
will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the
evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have
hardened their necks, that they might not hear My words.
Now Pashur the son of Immer the kohen, who was
also chief overseer in the Bayit of vuvh, heard that
Yirmeyahu prophesied these things.
2 Then Pashur smote Yirmeyahu the navi, and put him in
the stocks that were in the High Gate of Benyamin, which
was by the Bayit of vuvh.
3 And it came to pass on the next day, that Pashur
brought forth Yirmeyahu out of the stocks. Then said
Yirmeyahu to him, vuvh has not called your name Pashur,
but Magor-Missaviv.
4 For this says vuvh, See, I will make you a fear to
yourself, and to all your chaverim: and they shall fall by
the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it: and
I will give all Yahudah into the hand of the melech of
Bavel, and he shall carry them into exile into Bavel, and
shall kill them with the sword.
5 Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and
all the labors of it, and all the precious things of it, and
all the treasures of the melechim of Yahudah will I give
into the hand of their enemies, that shall plunder them,
and take them, and carry them to Bavel.
6 And you, Pashur, and all that dwell in your bayit shall
go into exile: and you shall come to Bavel, and there you
shall die, and shall be buried there, you, and all your
chaverim, to whom you have prophesied lies.
7 O vuvh, You have enticed me, and I was deceived: You
are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I have been
ridiculed daily, everyone mocks me.
8 For when I speak, I cry out, declaring violence and
plunder; because the word of vuvh has become a reproach
to me, and a derision, daily.
9 Then I said, I will not make mention of Him, nor speak
any more in His Name. But His word was in my lev as a
burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with
holding back, and I could not stop. 2110
20
10 For I heard many mocking, fear on every side. Expose,
they say, and we will expose him. All my chaverim
watched for my stumbling, saying, He will be lured away,
and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our
revenge on him.
11 But vuvh is with me as a mighty awesome One:
therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not
prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not
prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be
forgotten.
12 But, O vuvh tzevaoth, who tests the tzadik, and sees
the mind and the lev, let me see Your vengeance on them:
for to You have I opened my cause.
13 Sing to vuvh, hallel vuvh: for He has delivered the
being of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
14 Cursed be the day in which I was born: let not the day
in which my eema bore me be blessed.
