Jeremiah 4:27
chevron_left

1
If thou wilt
return, O Israel, saith the
L
ORD
, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.
2
And thou shalt swear, The
L
ORD
liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
3
For thus saith the
L
ORD
to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
4
Circumcise yourselves to the
L
ORD
, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench
it
, because of the evil of your doings.
5
Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
6
Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
7
The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate;
and
thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
8
For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the
L
ORD
is not turned back from us.
9
And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the
L
ORD
,
that
the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
10
Then said I, Ah, Lord
G
OD
! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
11
At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
12
Even
a full wind from those
places
shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
13
Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots
shall be
as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
14
O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
15
For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
16
Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem,
that
watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
17
As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the
L
ORD
.
18
Thy way and thy doings have procured these
things
unto thee; this
is
thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
19
My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
20
Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled,
and
my curtains in a moment.
21
How long shall I see the standard,
and
hear the sound of the trumpet?
22
For my people
is
foolish, they have not known me; they
are
sottish children, and they have none understanding: they
are
wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23
I beheld the earth, and, lo,
it was
without form, and void; and the heavens, and they
had
no light.
24
I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25
I beheld, and, lo,
there was
no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26
I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place
was
a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the
L
ORD
,
and
by his fierce anger.
For thus hath the
L
ORD
said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
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.
29
The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city
shall be
forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
30
And
when
thou
art
spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair;
thy
lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
31
For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail,
and
the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion,
that
bewaileth herself,
that
spreadeth her hands,
saying
, Woe
is
me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
