⁵ But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ From the thirteenth thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.

⁴ Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;

⁴ Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD'S house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD'S house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ That the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The word that the LORD spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, nought, and the deceit of their heart.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ 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:
