|
|
The Lord Will Not Relent
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 15
|
|
###### 1 Then the Lord said to me, "_Even_ if Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My mind _would_ not _be_ favorable toward this people. Cast _them_ out of My sight, and let them go forth.
|
|
###### 2 And it shall be, if they say to you, 'Where should we go?' then you shall tell them, 'Thus says the Lord:
|
|
"Such as _are_ for death, to death;
|
|
And such as _are_ for the sword, to the sword;
|
|
And such as _are_ for the famine, to the famine;
|
|
And such as _are_ for the captivity, to the captivity." '
|
|
|
|
###### 3 "And I will appoint over them four forms _of destruction,_" says the Lord: "the sword to slay, the dogs to drag, the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.
|
|
###### 4 I will hand them over to trouble, to all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 "For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem?
|
|
Or who will bemoan you?
|
|
Or who will turn aside to ask how you are doing?
|
|
|
|
###### 6 You have forsaken Me," says the Lord,
|
|
"You have gone backward.
|
|
Therefore I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you;
|
|
I am weary of relenting!
|
|
|
|
###### 7 And I will winnow them with a winnowing fan in the gates of the land;
|
|
I will bereave _them_ of children;
|
|
I will destroy My people,
|
|
_Since_ they do not return from their ways.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 Their widows will be increased to Me more than the sand of the seas;
|
|
I will bring against them,
|
|
Against the mother of the young men,
|
|
A plunderer at noonday;
|
|
I will cause anguish and terror to fall on them suddenly.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 "She languishes who has borne seven;
|
|
She has breathed her last;
|
|
Her sun has gone down
|
|
While _it was_ yet day;
|
|
She has been ashamed and confounded.
|
|
And the remnant of them I will deliver to the sword
|
|
Before their enemies," says the Lord.Jeremiah's Dejection
|
|
|
|
###### 10 Woe is me, my mother,
|
|
That you have borne me,
|
|
A man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth!
|
|
I have neither lent for interest,
|
|
Nor have men lent to me for interest.
|
|
Every one of them curses me.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 The Lord said:
|
|
"Surely it will be well with your remnant;
|
|
Surely I will cause the enemy to intercede with you
|
|
In the time of adversity and in the time of affliction.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 Can anyone break iron,
|
|
The northern iron and the bronze?
|
|
|
|
###### 13 Your wealth and your treasures
|
|
I will give as plunder without price,
|
|
Because of all your sins,
|
|
Throughout your territories.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 And I will make _you_ cross over with your enemies
|
|
Into a land _which_ you do not know;
|
|
For a fire is kindled in My anger,
|
|
_Which_ shall burn upon you."
|
|
|
|
###### 15 O Lord, You know;
|
|
Remember me and visit me,
|
|
And take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
|
|
In Your enduring patience, do not take me away.
|
|
Know that for Your sake I have suffered rebuke.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 Your words were found, and I ate them,
|
|
And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
|
|
For I am called by Your name,
|
|
O Lord God of hosts.
|
|
|
|
###### 17 I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers,
|
|
Nor did I rejoice;
|
|
I sat alone because of Your hand,
|
|
For You have filled me with indignation.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 Why is my pain perpetual
|
|
And my wound incurable,
|
|
_Which_ refuses to be healed?
|
|
Will You surely be to me like an unreliable stream,
|
|
_As_ waters _that_ fail?The Lord Reassures Jeremiah
|
|
|
|
###### 19 Therefore thus says the Lord:
|
|
"If you return,
|
|
Then I will bring you back;
|
|
You shall stand before Me;
|
|
If you take out the precious from the vile,
|
|
You shall be as My mouth.
|
|
Let them return to you,
|
|
But you must not return to them.
|
|
|
|
###### 20 And I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall;
|
|
And they will fight against you,
|
|
But they shall not prevail against you;
|
|
For I _am_ with you to save you
|
|
And deliver you," says the Lord.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 "I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked,
|
|
And I will redeem you from the grip of the terrible."
