Book 24 : JEREMIAH - Chapter 006

006:001

I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman

006:002

The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place

006:003

Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out

006:004

Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces

006:005

For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her

006:006

As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds

006:007

Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited

006:008

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets

006:009

To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it

006:010

Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days

006:011

And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD

006:012

For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely

006:013

They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace

006:014

Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, 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 they shall be cast down, saith the LORD

006:015

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein

006:016

Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken

006:017

Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them

006:018

Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it

006:019

To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me

006:020

Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish

006:021

Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth

006:022

They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion

006:023

We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail

006:024

Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side

006:025

O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us

006:026

I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way

006:027

They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters

006:028

The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away

006:029

Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them
