ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Stand in the gate of the LORD'S house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

⁵ Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

⁸ Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD'S house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD'S house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD'S house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth eighteenth eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

¹² Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Now the LORD hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.

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

⁷ And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
