Book 24 : JEREMIAH - Chapter 017
017:001
Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves
by the green trees upon the high hills
017:002
O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all
thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin,
throughout all thy borders
017:003
And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage
that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies
in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire
in mine anger, which shall burn for ever
017:004
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man,
and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the
LORD
017:005
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not
see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in
the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited
017:006
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope
the LORD is
017:007
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that
spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when
heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be
careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from
yielding fruit
017:008
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately
wicked: who can know it
017:009
I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give
every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of
his doings
017:010
As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he
that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the
midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool
017:011
A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our
sanctuary
017:012
O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be
ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the
earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of
living waters
017:013
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall
be saved: for thou art my praise
017:014
Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let
it come now
017:015
As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow
thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest:
that which came out of my lips was right before thee
017:016
Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil
017:017
Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be
confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed:
bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double
destruction
017:018
Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the
children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in,
and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of
Jerusalem
017:019
And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of
Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
that enter in by these gates
017:020
Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no
burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of
Jerusalem
017:021
Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath
day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as
I commanded your fathers
017:022
But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made
their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive
instruction
017:023
And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me,
saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of
this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to
do no work therein
017:024
Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and
princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots
and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and
the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for
ever
017:025
And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the
places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and
from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south,
bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings,
and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house
of the LORD
017:026
But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day,
and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of
Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the
gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem,
and it shall not be quenched
