Jeremiah
14-17
Jer
14:1 The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah concerning the
drought.
Jer
14:2 Judah mourns, and its gates languish, they sit in black on the
ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Jer
14:3 Their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to
the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels
empty; they are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads.
Jer
14:4 Because of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has
been in the land, the plowmen are disappointed, they cover their
heads.
Jer
14:5 Yes, the hind also in the field calves, and forsakes her
young, because there is no grass.
Jer
14:6 The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights, they pant for air
like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.
Jer
14:7 Though our iniquities testify against us, work you for your
name's sake, Yahweh; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned
against you.
Jer
14:8 You hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why
should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who
turns aside to stay for a night?
Jer
14:9 Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can't
save? yet you, Yahweh, are in the midst of us, and we are called by
your name; don't leave us.
Jer
14:10 Thus says Yahweh to this people, Even so have they loved to
wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore Yahweh does not
accept them; now he will remember their iniquity, and visit their
sins.
Jer
14:11 Yahweh said to me, Don't pray for this people for their
good.
Jer
14:12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer
burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will
consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Jer
14:13 Then said I, Ah, Lord Yahweh! behold, the prophets tell them,
You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I
will give you assured peace in this place.
Jer
14:14 Then Yahweh said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name;
I didn't send them, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke I to
them: they prophesy to you a lying vision, and divination, and a
thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.
Jer
14:15 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who
prophesy in my name, and I didn't send them, yet they say, Sword and
famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those
prophets be consumed.
Jer
14:16 The people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the
streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they
shall have none to bury them--them, their wives, nor their sons, nor
their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness on them.
Jer
14:17 You shall say this word to them, Let my eyes run down with
tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter
of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous
wound.
Jer
14:18 If I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with the
sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, those who are sick
with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the
land, and have no knowledge.
Jer
14:19 Have you utterly rejected Judah? has your soul loathed Zion?
why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for
peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold,
dismay!
Jer
14:20 We acknowledge, Yahweh, our wickedness, and the iniquity of
our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
Jer
14:21 Do not abhor us,
for your name's sake; do not disgrace the throne of your glory:
remember, don't break your covenant with us.
Jer
14:22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause
rain? or can the sky give showers? Aren't you he, Yahweh our God?
therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.
Jer
15:1 Then said Yahweh to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before
me, yet my mind would not be toward this people: cast them out of my
sight, and let them go forth.
Jer
15:2 It shall happen, when they tell you, Where shall we go forth?
then you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh: 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 captivity, to
captivity.
Jer
15:3 I will appoint over them four kinds, says Yahweh: the sword to
kill, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the sky, and the animals
of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
Jer
15:4 I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the
kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king
of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
Jer
15:5 For who will have pity on you, Jerusalem? or who will bemoan
you? or who will turn aside to ask of your welfare?
Jer
15:6 You have rejected me, says Yahweh, you are gone backward:
therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed
you; I am weary with repenting.
Jer
15:7 I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I
have bereaved them
of children, I have destroyed my people; they didn't return from
their ways.
Jer
15:8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I
have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer
at noonday: I have caused anguish and terrors to fall on her
suddenly.
Jer
15:9 She who has borne seven languishes; she has given up the
spirit; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she has been
disappointed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver
to the sword before their enemies, says Yahweh.
Jer
15:10 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 not lent, neither
have men lent to me; yet
everyone of them does curse me.
Jer
15:11 Yahweh said, Most certainly I will strengthen you for good;
most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in
the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
Jer
15:12 Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and brass?
Jer
15:13 Your substance and your treasures will I give for a spoil
without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
Jer
15:14 I will make them
to pass with your enemies into a land which you don't know; for a
fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn on you.
Jer
15:15 Yahweh, you know; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of
my persecutors; don't take me away in your longsuffering: know that
for your sake I have suffered reproach.
Jer
15:16 Your words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to
me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name,
Yahweh, God of Armies.
Jer
15:17 I didn't sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor
rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand; for you have filled me
with indignation.
Jer
15:18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which
refuses to be healed? will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook,
as waters that fail?
Jer
15:19 Therefore thus says Yahweh, If you return, then will I bring
you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take forth the
precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: they shall return
to you, but you shall not return to them.
Jer
15:20 I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; and
they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you;
for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says Yahweh.
Jer
15:21 I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will
redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
Jer
16:1 The word of Yahweh came also to me, saying,
Jer
16:2 You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or
daughters, in this place.
Jer
16:3 For thus says Yahweh concerning the sons and concerning the
daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers
who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became the father of
them in this land:
Jer
16:4 They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented,
neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung on the surface of
the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine;
and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for
the animals of the earth.
Jer
16:5 For thus says Yahweh, Don't enter into the house of mourning,
neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my
peace from this people, says Yahweh, even loving kindness and tender
mercies.
Jer
16:6 Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be
buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor
make themselves bald for them;
Jer
16:7 neither shall men break bread
for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men
give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for
their mother.
Jer
16:8 You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them,
to eat and to drink.
Jer
16:9 For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Behold, I
will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your
days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the
bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
Jer
16:10 It shall happen, when you shall show this people all these
words, and they shall tell you, Why has Yahweh pronounced all this
great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin
that we have committed against Yahweh our God?
Jer
16:11 Then you shall tell them, Because your fathers have forsaken
me, says Yahweh, and have walked after other gods, and have served
them, and have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not
kept my law;
Jer
16:12 and you have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold,
you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that
you don't listen to me:
Jer
16:13 therefore will I cast you forth out of this land into the land
that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you
shall serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.
Jer
16:14 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that it shall
no more be said, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of
Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jer
16:15 but, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel
from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had
driven them. I will bring them again into their land that I gave to
their fathers.
Jer
16:16 Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says Yahweh, and they
shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and
they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and
out of the clefts of the rocks.
Jer
16:17 For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my
face, neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
Jer
16:18 First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double,
because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their
detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their
abominations.
Jer
16:19 Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the
day of affliction, to you shall the nations come from the ends of the
earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies,
even vanity
and things in which there is no profit.
Jer
16:20 Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods?
Jer
16:21 Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this once will I
cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my
name is Yahweh.
Jer
17:1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and
with the point of a diamond: it is engraved on the tablet of their
heart, and on the horns of your altars;
Jer
17:2 while their children remember their altars and their Asherim by
the green trees on the high hills.
Jer
17:3 My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all
your treasures for a spoil, and
your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
Jer
17:4 You, even of yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage
that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the
land which you don't know: for you have kindled a fire in my anger
which shall burn forever.
Jer
17:5 Thus says Yahweh: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and
makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
Jer
17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see
when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the
wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
Jer
17:7 Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh
is.
Jer
17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads
out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but
its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of
drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Jer
17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly
corrupt: who can know it?
Jer
17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give
every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his
doings.
Jer
17:11 As the partridge that sits on eggs
which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right;
in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he
shall be a fool.
Jer
17:12 A glorious throne, set
on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
Jer
17:13 Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be
disappointed. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth,
because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters.
Jer
17:14 Heal me, O Yahweh, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall
be saved: for you are my praise.
Jer
17:15 Behold, they tell me, Where is the word of Yahweh? let it come
now.
Jer
17:16 As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you;
neither have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out
of my lips was before your face.
Jer
17:17 Don't be a terror to me: you are my refuge in the day of evil.
Jer
17:18 Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but let not me be
disappointed; let them be dismayed, but don't let me be dismayed;
bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double
destruction.
Jer
17:19 Thus said Yahweh to me: Go, and stand in the gate of the
children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in, and
by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Jer
17:20 and tell them, Hear you the word of Yahweh, you kings of
Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that
enter in by these gates:
Jer
17:21 Thus says Yahweh, Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden
on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Jer
17:22 neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath
day holy, neither do any work: but make the Sabbath day, as I
commanded your fathers.
Jer
17:23 But they didn't listen, neither turn their ear, but made their
neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive
instruction.
Jer
17:24 It shall happen, if you diligently listen to me, says Yahweh,
to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath
day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;
Jer
17:25 then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and
princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on
horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.
Jer
17:26 They shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places
around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the
lowland, and from the hill country, and from the South, bringing
burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and
frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of
thanksgiving, to the house of Yahweh.
Jer
17:27 But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy,
and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on
the Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall
devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

Jeremiah
18-21
Jer
18:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
Jer
18:2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will
cause you to hear my words.
Jer
18:3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he was
making a work on the wheels.
Jer
18:4 When the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand
of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the
potter to make it.
Jer
18:5 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Jer
18:6 House of Israel, can't I do with you as this potter? says
Yahweh. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my
hand, house of Israel.
Jer
18:7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and
concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy
it;
Jer
18:8 if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their
evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do to them.
Jer
18:9 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and
concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
Jer
18:10 if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they not obey
my voice, then I will repent of the good, with which I said I would
benefit them.
Jer
18:11 Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I frame
evil against you, and devise a device against you: return you now
everyone from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.
Jer
18:12 But they say, It is in vain; for we will walk after our own
devices, and we will do everyone after the stubbornness of his evil
heart.
Jer
18:13 Therefore thus says Yahweh: Ask you now among the nations, who
has heard such things; the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible
thing.
Jer
18:14 Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? or
shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?
Jer
18:15 For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to
false gods;
and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient
paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built up;
Jer
18:16 to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing;
everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished, and shake his head.
Jer
18:17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I
will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their
calamity.
Jer
18:18 Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against
Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel
from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us strike
him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
Jer
18:19 Give heed to me, Yahweh, and listen to the voice of those who
contend with me.
Jer
18:20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have dug a pit
for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them,
to turn away your wrath from them.
Jer
18:21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give
them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become
childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, and
their young men struck of the sword in battle.
Jer
18:22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you shall bring a
troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid
snares for my feet.
Jer
18:23 Yet, Yahweh, you know all their counsel against me to kill me;
don't forgive their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your
sight; but let them be overthrown before you; deal you with them in
the time of your anger.
Jer
19:1 Thus said Yahweh, Go, and buy a potter's earthen bottle, and
take of the
elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;
Jer
19:2 and go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by
the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I
shall tell you;
Jer
19:3 and say, Hear you the word of Yahweh, kings of Judah, and
inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of
Israel, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears,
his ears shall tingle.
Jer
19:4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place,
and have burned incense in it to other gods, that they didn't know,
they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this
place with the blood of innocents,
Jer
19:5 and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in
the fire for burnt offerings to Baal; which I didn't command, nor
spoke it, neither came it into my mind:
Jer
19:6 therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that this place
shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom,
but The valley of Slaughter.
Jer
19:7 I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this
place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their
enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life: and their dead
bodies will I give to be food for the birds of the sky, and for the
animals of the earth.
Jer
19:8 I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; everyone
who passes thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all its
plagues.
Jer
19:9 I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh
of their daughters; and they shall eat everyone the flesh of his
friend, in the siege and in the distress, with which their enemies,
and those who seek their life, shall distress them.
Jer
19:10 Then you shall break the bottle in the sight of the men who go
with you,
Jer
19:11 and shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Even so will
I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel,
that can't be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth, until
there be no place to bury.
Jer
19:12 Thus will I do to this place, says Yahweh, and to its
inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth:
Jer
19:13 and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of
Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all
the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the army of
the sky, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.
Jer
19:14 Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him to
prophesy; and he stood in the court of Yahweh's house, and said to
all the people:
Jer
19:15 Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, Behold, I will
bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have
pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that
they may not hear my words.
Jer
20:1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer
in the house of Yahweh, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
Jer
20:2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the
stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the
house of Yahweh.
Jer
20:3 It happened on the next day, that Pashhur brought forth
Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah to him, Yahweh has not
called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
Jer
20:4 For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will make you a terror to
yourself, and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword
of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it; and I will give all
Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them
captive to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword.
Jer
20:5 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its
gains, and all the precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of
the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and
they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to
Babylon.
Jer
20:6 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house shall go into
captivity; and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die,
and there you shall be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you
have prophesied falsely.
Jer
20:7 Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you are
stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock all
the day, every one mocks me.
Jer
20:8 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and
destruction! because the word of Yahweh is made a reproach to me, and
a derision, all the day.
Jer
20:9 If I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in
his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up
in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I can't contain.
Jer
20:10 For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side.
Denounce, and we will denounce him, say
all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall; peradventure he
will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall
take our revenge on him.
Jer
20:11 But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one: therefore my
persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be
utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with
an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.
Jer
20:12 But, Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the
heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you
have I revealed my cause.
Jer
20:13 Sing to Yahweh, praise you Yahweh; for he has delivered the
soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
Jer
20:14 Cursed be the day in which I was born: don't let the day in
which my mother bore me be blessed.
Jer
20:15 Cursed be the man who brought news to my father, saying, A boy
is born to you; making him very glad.
Jer
20:16 Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and
didn't repent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at
noontime;
Jer
20:17 because he didn't kill me from the womb; and so my mother
would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
Jer
20:18 Why came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that
my days should be consumed with shame?
Jer
21:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when king Zedekiah
sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of
Maaseiah, the priest, saying,
Jer
21:2 Please inquire of Yahweh for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon makes war against us: peradventure Yahweh will deal with us
according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
Jer
21:3 Then said Jeremiah to them, You shall tell Zedekiah:
Jer
21:4 Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Behold, I will turn back
the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight
against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege
you, without the walls; and I will gather them into the midst of this
city.
Jer
21:5 I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and
with a strong arm, even in anger, and in wrath, and in great
indignation.
Jer
21:6 I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and
animal: they shall die of a great pestilence.
Jer
21:7 Afterward, says Yahweh, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah,
and his servants, and the people, even such as are left in this city
from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the
hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their
enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life: and he shall
strike them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them,
neither have pity, nor have mercy.
Jer

before you the way of life and the way of death.
Jer
21:9 He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by the

be to him for a prey.
Jer
21:10 For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for
good, says Yahweh: it shall be given into the hand of the king of

oppressor, lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none
can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

Hebrews
2
Heb 2:1
Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were
heard, lest perhaps we drift away.
Heb 2:2
For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every
transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;
Heb 2:3
how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation--which at the
first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by
those who heard;
Heb 2:4
God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various
works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own
will?
Heb 2:5
For he didn't subject the world to come, of which we speak, to
angels.
Heb 2:6
But one has somewhere testified, saying, "What is man, that you
think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?
Heb 2:7
You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with
glory and honor.
Heb 2:8
You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in
that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not
subject to him. But now we don't see all things subjected to him,
yet.
Heb 2:9
But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels,
Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and
honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for
everyone.
Heb
2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom
are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the
author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Heb
2:11 For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all
from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
Heb
2:12 saying, "I will declare your name to my brothers. In the
midst of the congregation I will sing your praise."
Heb
2:13 Again, "I will put my trust in him." Again, "Behold,
here I am with the children whom God has given me."
Heb
2:14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also
himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he
might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the
devil,
Heb
2:15 and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were
all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Heb
2:16 For most certainly, he doesn't give help to angels, but he
gives help to the seed of Abraham.
Heb
2:17 Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his
brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in
things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the
people.
Heb
2:18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able
to help those who are tempted.

Hebrews
3
Heb 3:1
Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider
the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;
Heb 3:2
who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all
his house.
Heb 3:3
For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as
he who built the house has more honor than the house.
Heb 3:4
For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is
God.
Heb 3:5
Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a
testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,
Heb 3:6
but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are,
if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to
the end.
Heb 3:7
Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will
hear his voice,
Heb 3:8
don't harden your hearts, as in the provocation, like as in the day
of the trial in the wilderness,
Heb 3:9
where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my works for
forty years.
Heb
3:10 Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said,
'They always err in their heart, but they didn't know my ways;'
Heb
3:11 as I swore in my wrath, 'They will not enter into my rest.' "
Heb
3:12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an
evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;
Heb
3:13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called
"today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the
deceitfulness of sin.
Heb
3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the
beginning of our confidence firm to the end:
Heb
3:15 while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, don't
harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."
Heb
3:16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn't all those who
came out of Egypt by Moses?
Heb
3:17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn't it with those
who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
Heb
3:18 To whom did he swear that they wouldn't enter into his rest,
but to those who were disobedient?
Heb
3:19 We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
