# Jeremiah 6 (New King James Version)
|
|
Impending Destruction from the North
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 6
|
|
###### 1 "O you children of Benjamin,
|
|
Gather yourselves to flee from the midst of Jerusalem!
|
|
Blow the trumpet in Tekoa,
|
|
And set up a signal-fire in Beth Haccerem;
|
|
For disaster appears out of the north,
|
|
And great destruction.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 I have likened the daughter of Zion
|
|
To a lovely and delicate woman.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her.
|
|
They shall pitch _their_ tents against her all around.
|
|
Each one shall pasture in his own place."
|
|
|
|
###### 4 "Prepare war against her;
|
|
Arise, and let us go up at noon.
|
|
Woe to us, for the day goes away,
|
|
For the shadows of the evening are lengthening.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Arise, and let us go by night,
|
|
And let us destroy her palaces."
|
|
|
|
###### 6 For thus has the Lord of hosts said:
|
|
"Cut down trees,
|
|
And build a mound against Jerusalem.
|
|
This _is_ the city to be punished.
|
|
She _is_ full of oppression in her midst.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 As a fountain wells up with water,
|
|
So she wells up with her wickedness.
|
|
Violence and plundering are heard in her.
|
|
Before Me continually _are_ grief and wounds.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 Be instructed, O Jerusalem,
|
|
Lest My soul depart from you;
|
|
Lest I make you desolate,
|
|
A land not inhabited."
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
|
|
"They shall thoroughly glean as a vine the remnant of Israel;
|
|
As a grape-gatherer, put your hand back into the branches."
|
|
|
|
###### 10 To whom shall I speak and give warning,
|
|
That they may hear?
|
|
Indeed their ear _is_ uncircumcised,
|
|
And they cannot give heed.
|
|
Behold, the word of the Lord is a reproach to them;
|
|
They have no delight in it.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord.
|
|
I am weary of holding _it_ in.
|
|
"I will pour it out on the children outside,
|
|
And on the assembly of young men together;
|
|
For even the husband shall be taken with the wife,
|
|
The aged with _him who is_ full of days.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 And their houses shall be turned over to others,
|
|
Fields and wives together;
|
|
For I will stretch out My hand
|
|
Against the inhabitants of the land," says the Lord.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 "Because from the least of them even to the greatest of them,
|
|
Everyone _is_ given to covetousness;
|
|
And from the prophet even to the priest,
|
|
Everyone deals falsely.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly,
|
|
Saying, 'Peace, peace!'
|
|
When _there is_ no peace.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
|
|
No! They were not at all ashamed;
|
|
Nor did they know how to blush.
|
|
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
|
|
At the time I punish them,
|
|
They shall be cast down," says the Lord.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 Thus says the Lord:
|
|
"Stand in the ways and see,
|
|
And ask for the old paths, where the good way _is,_
|
|
And walk in it;
|
|
Then you will find rest for your souls.
|
|
But they said, 'We will not walk _in it._'
|
|
|
|
###### 17 Also, I set watchmen over you, _saying,_
|
|
'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!'
|
|
But they said, 'We will not listen.'
|
|
|
|
###### 18 Therefore hear, you nations,
|
|
And know, O congregation, what _is_ among them.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 Hear, O earth!
|
|
Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people--
|
|
The fruit of their thoughts,
|
|
Because they have not heeded My words
|
|
Nor My law, but rejected it.
|
|
|
|
###### 20 For what purpose to Me
|
|
Comes frankincense from Sheba,
|
|
And sweet cane from a far country?
|
|
Your burnt offerings _are_ not acceptable,
|
|
Nor your sacrifices sweet to Me."
|
|
|
|
###### 21 Therefore thus says the Lord:
|
|
"Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people,
|
|
And the fathers and the sons together shall fall on them.
|
|
The neighbor and his friend shall perish."
|
|
|
|
###### 22 Thus says the Lord:
|
|
"Behold, a people comes from the north country,
|
|
And a great nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth.
|
|
|
|
###### 23 They will lay hold on bow and spear;
|
|
They _are_ cruel and have no mercy;
|
|
Their voice roars like the sea;
|
|
And they ride on horses,
|
|
As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion."
|
|
|
|
###### 24 We have heard the report of it;
|
|
Our hands grow feeble.
|
|
Anguish has taken hold of us,
|
|
Pain as of a woman in labor.
|
|
|
|
###### 25 Do not go out into the field,
|
|
Nor walk by the way.
|
|
Because of the sword of the enemy,
|
|
Fear _is_ on every side.
|
|
|
|
###### 26 O daughter of my people,
|
|
Dress in sackcloth
|
|
And roll about in ashes!
|
|
Make mourning _as for_ an only son, most bitter lamentation;
|
|
For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us.
|
|
|
|
###### 27 "I have set you _as_ an assayer _and_ a fortress among My people,
|
|
That you may know and test their way.
|
|
|
|
###### 28 They _are_ all stubborn rebels, walking as slanderers.
|
|
_They are_ bronze and iron,
|
|
They _are_ all corrupters;
|
|
|
|
###### 29 The bellows blow fiercely,
|
|
The lead is consumed by the fire;
|
|
The smelter refines in vain,
|
|
For the wicked are not drawn off.
|
|
|
|
###### 30 _People_ will call them rejected silver,
|
|
Because the Lord has rejected them."
