Book 24 : JEREMIAH - Chapter 005

005:001

And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely

005:002

O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return

005:003

Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God

005:004

I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds

005:005

Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased

005:006

How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses

005:007

They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife

005:008

Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this

005:009

Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD's

005:010

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD

005:011

They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine

005:012

And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them

005:013

Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them

005:014

Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say

005:015

Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men

005:016

And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword

005:017

Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you

005:018

And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not your's

005:019

Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying

005:020

Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not

005:021

Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it

005:022

But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone

005:023

Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest

005:024

Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you

005:025

For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men

005:026

As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich

005:027

They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge

005:028

Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this

005:029

A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land

005:030

The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof
