Jeremiah
1-4
Jer
1:1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who
were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Jer
1:2 to whom the word of Yahweh came in the days of Josiah the son of
Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Jer
1:3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of
Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of
Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in
the fifth month.
Jer
1:4 Now the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Jer
1:5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came
forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a
prophet to the nations.
Jer
1:6 Then said I, Ah, Lord Yahweh! behold, I don't know how to speak;
for I am a child.
Jer
1:7 But Yahweh said to me, Don't say, I am a child; for to whoever I
shall send you, you shall go, and whatever I shall command you, you
shall speak.
Jer
1:8 Don't be afraid because of them; for I am with you to deliver
you, says Yahweh.
Jer
1:9 Then Yahweh put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and Yahweh
said to me, Behold, I have put my words in your mouth:
Jer
1:10 behold, I have this day set you over the nations and over the
kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to
overthrow, to build and to plant.
Jer
1:11 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what
see you? I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
Jer
1:12 Then said Yahweh to me, You have well seen: for I watch over my
word to perform it.
Jer
1:13 The word of Yahweh came to me the second time, saying, What see
you? I said, I see a boiling caldron; and its face is from the north.
Jer
1:14 Then Yahweh said to me, Out of the north evil shall break forth
on all the inhabitants of the land.
Jer
1:15 For, behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of
the north, says Yahweh; and they shall come, and they shall set
everyone his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and
against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of
Judah.
Jer
1:16 I will utter my judgments against them touching all their
wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to
other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
Jer
1:17 You therefore gird up your waist, and arise, and speak to them
all that I command you: don't be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you
before them.
Jer
1:18 For, behold, I have made you this day a fortified city, and an
iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the
kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against
the people of the land.
Jer
1:19 They shall fight against you; but they shall not prevail
against you: for I am with you, says Yahweh, to deliver you.
Jer
2:1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Jer
2:2 Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Yahweh,
I remember for you the kindness of your youth, the love of your
weddings; how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was
not sown.
Jer
2:3 Israel was
holiness to Yahweh, the first fruits of his increase: all who devour
him shall be held guilty; evil shall come on them, says Yahweh.
Jer
2:4 Hear you the word of Yahweh, O house of Jacob, and all the
families of the house of Israel:
Jer
2:5 thus says Yahweh, What unrighteousness have your fathers found
in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity,
and are become vain?
Jer
2:6 Neither said they, Where is Yahweh who brought us up out of the
land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of
deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of
death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man
lived?
Jer
2:7 I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat its fruit and its
goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my
heritage an abomination.
Jer
2:8 The priests didn't say, Where is Yahweh? and those who handle
the law didn't know me: the rulers also transgressed against me, and
the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not
profit.
Jer
2:9 Therefore I will yet contend with you, says Yahweh, and with
your children's children will I contend.
Jer
2:10 For pass over to the islands of Kittim, and see; and send to
Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there has been such a
thing.
Jer
2:11 Has a nation changed its
gods, which yet are no gods? but my people have changed their glory
for that which does not profit.
Jer
2:12 Be astonished, you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be
you very desolate, says Yahweh.
Jer
2:13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me,
the spring of living waters, and cut them out cisterns, broken
cisterns, that can hold no water.
Jer
2:14 Is Israel a servant? is he a native-born slave?
why is he become a prey?
Jer
2:15 The young lions have roared on him, and yelled; and they have
made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
Jer
2:16 The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the
crown of your head.
Jer
2:17 Haven't you procured this to yourself, in that you have
forsaken Yahweh your God, when he led you by the way?
Jer
2:18 Now what have you to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the
waters of the Shihor? or what have you to do in the way to Assyria,
to drink the waters of the River?
Jer
2:19 Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backsliding
shall reprove you: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing
and a bitter, that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, and that my
fear is not in you, says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
Jer
2:20 For of old time I have broken your yoke, and burst your bonds;
and you said, I will not serve; for on every high hill and under
every green tree you did bow yourself, playing the prostitute.
Jer
2:21 Yet I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how
then are you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to
me?
Jer
2:22 For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet
your iniquity is marked before me, says the Lord Yahweh.
Jer
2:23 How can you say, I am not defiled, I have not gone after the
Baals? see your way in the valley, know what you have done: you
are a swift dromedary traversing her
ways;
Jer
2:24 a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that snuffs up the wind
in her desire; in her occasion who can turn her away? all those who
seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
Jer
2:25 Withhold your foot from being unshod, and your throat from
thirst: but you said, It is in vain; no, for I have loved strangers,
and after them will I go.
Jer
2:26 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;
Jer
2:27 who tell a stock, You are my father; and to a stone, You have
brought me forth: for they have turned their back to me, and not
their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise,
and save us.
Jer
2:28 But where are your gods that you have made you? let them arise,
if they can save you in the time of your trouble: for according to
the number of your cities are your gods, Judah.
Jer
2:29 Why will you contend with me? you all have transgressed against
me, says Yahweh.
Jer
2:30 In vain have I struck your children; they received no
correction: your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a
destroying lion.
Jer
2:31 Generation, see the word of Yahweh. Have I been a wilderness to
Israel? or a land of thick darkness? why say my people, We are broken
loose; we will come no more to you?
Jer
2:32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet
my people have forgotten me days without number.
Jer
2:33 How trimmest you your way to seek love! therefore even the
wicked women have you taught your ways.
Jer
2:34 Also in your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the
innocent poor: you did not find them breaking in; but it is because
of all these things.
Jer
2:35 Yet you said, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away
from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with you, because you
say, I have not sinned.
Jer
2:36 Why go you about so much to change your way? you shall be
ashamed of Egypt also, as you were ashamed of Assyria.
Jer
2:37 From there also you shall go forth, with your hands on your
head: for Yahweh has rejected those in whom you trust, and you shall
not prosper with them.
Jer
3:1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and
become another man's, will he return to her again? Won't that land be
greatly polluted? But you have played the prostitute with many
lovers; yet return again to me, says Yahweh.
Jer
3:2 Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see; where have you
not been lain with? By the ways have you sat for them, as an Arabian
in the wilderness; and you have polluted the land with your
prostitution and with your wickedness.
Jer
3:3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no
latter rain; yet you have a prostitute's forehead, you refused to be
ashamed.
Jer
3:4 Will you not from this time cry to me, My Father, you are the
guide of my youth?
Jer
3:5 Will he retain his anger
forever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, you have spoken and have
done evil things, and have had your way.
Jer
3:6 Moreover Yahweh said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have
you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? she is gone up on
every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played
the prostitute.
Jer
3:7 I said after she had done all these things, She will return to
me; but she didn't return: and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
Jer
3:8 I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had
committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of
divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, didn't fear; but she also
went and played the prostitute.
Jer
3:9 It happened through the lightness of her prostitution, that the
land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with
stocks.
Jer
3:10 Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not returned
to me with her whole heart, but only in pretense, says Yahweh.
Jer
3:11 Yahweh said to me, Backsliding Israel has shown herself more
righteous than treacherous Judah.
Jer
3:12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return,
you backsliding Israel, says Yahweh; I will not look in anger on you;
for I am merciful, says Yahweh, I will not keep anger
forever.
Jer
3:13 Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed
against Yahweh your God, and have scattered your ways to the
strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice,
says Yahweh.
Jer
3:14 Return, backsliding children, says Yahweh; for I am a husband
to you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I
will bring you to Zion:
Jer
3:15 and I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall
feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Jer
3:16 It shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in
the land, in those days, says Yahweh, they shall say no more, The ark
of the covenant of Yahweh; neither shall it come to mind; neither
shall they remember it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it
be made any more.
Jer
3:17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Yahweh;
and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of Yahweh,
to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness
of their evil heart.
Jer
3:18 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 gave for an inheritance to your fathers.
Jer
3:19 But I said, How I will put you among the children, and give you
a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the armies of the nations! and
I said, You shall call me My Father, and shall not turn away from
following me.
Jer
3:20 Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so
have you dealt treacherously with me, house of Israel, says Yahweh.
Jer
3:21 A voice is heard on the bare heights, the weeping and
the petitions of the children of Israel; because they have perverted
their way, they have forgotten Yahweh their God.
Jer
3:22 Return, you backsliding children, I will heal your backsliding.
Behold, we are come to you; for you are Yahweh our God.
Jer
3:23 Truly in vain is the help that is
looked for from the hills, the tumult on
the mountains: truly in Yahweh our God is the salvation of Israel.
Jer
3:24 But the shameful thing has devoured the labor of our fathers
from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their
daughters.
Jer
3:25 Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us;
for we have sinned against Yahweh our God, we and our fathers, from
our youth even to this day; and we have not obeyed the voice of
Yahweh our God.
Jer
4:1 If you will return, Israel, says Yahweh, if you will return to
me, and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight; then
you shall not be removed;
Jer
4:2 and you shall swear, As Yahweh lives, in truth, in justice, and
in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and
in him shall they glory.
Jer
4:3 For thus says Yahweh to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, Break
up your fallow ground, and don't sow among thorns.
Jer
4:4 Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh, and take away the foreskins of
your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my
wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it,
because of the evil of your doings.
Jer
4:5 Declare you in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow
you the trumpet in the land: cry aloud and say, Assemble yourselves,
and let us go into the fortified cities.
Jer
4:6 Set up a standard toward Zion: flee for safety, don't stay; for
I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Jer
4:7 A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations;
he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place, to make your land
desolate, that your cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.
Jer
4:8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the
fierce anger of Yahweh hasn't turned back from us.
Jer
4:9 It shall happen at that day, says Yahweh, 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.
Jer
4:10 Then said I, Ah, Lord Yahweh! surely you have greatly deceived
this people and Jerusalem, saying, You shall have peace; whereas the
sword reaches to the life.
Jer
4:11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem,
A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the
daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse;
Jer
4:12 a full wind from these shall come for me: now will I also utter
judgments against them.
Jer
4:13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall
be as the whirlwind: his horses are
swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are ruined.
Jer
4:14 Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be
saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?
Jer
4:15 For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the
hills of Ephraim:
Jer
4:16 make you 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.
Jer
4:17 As keepers of a field are they against her all around, because
she has been rebellious against me, says Yahweh.
Jer
4:18 Your way and your doings have procured these things to you;
this is your wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reaches to your
heart.
Jer
4:19 My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart; my heart
is disquieted in me; I can't hold my peace; because you have heard, O
my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Jer
4:20 Destruction on destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid
waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and
my curtains in a moment.
Jer
4:21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the
trumpet?
Jer
4:22 For my people are foolish, they don't know me; they are foolish
children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil,
but to do good they have no knowledge.
Jer
4:23 I saw the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the
heavens, and they had no light.
Jer
4:24 I saw the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the
hills moved back and forth.
Jer
4:25 I saw, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the
sky had fled.
Jer
4:26 I saw, and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all
its cities were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, and
before his fierce anger.
Jer
4:27 For thus says Yahweh, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet
will I not make a full end.
Jer
4:28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black;
because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not
repented, neither will I turn back from it.
Jer
4:29 Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers;
they go into the thickets, and climb up on the rocks: every city is
forsaken, and not a man dwells therein.
Jer
4:30 You, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you
clothe yourself with scarlet, though you deck you with ornaments of
gold, though you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain do you make
yourself beautiful; your
lovers despise you, they seek your life.
Jer
4:31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish
as of her who brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter
of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying,
Woe is me now! for my soul faints before the murderers.

The

is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.
