ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:

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

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even lovingkindness and mercies.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,

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

² Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.

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

⁶ For thus saith the LORD unto the king's house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

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

⁶ Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

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

⁹ Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD'S house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,

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

¹⁸ In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house.

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

³ Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD:

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

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

⁷ Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.

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

²⁰ Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.

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

¹⁴ Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD'S house; and said to all the people,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house unto the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house, in the ears of all the people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵¹ We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD'S house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ The two pillars, one sea, and twelve twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
