Jeremiah
10-13
Jer
10:1 Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, house of Israel!
Jer
10:2 Thus says Yahweh, "Don't learn the way of the nations, and
don't be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are
dismayed at them.
Jer
10:3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree
out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
Jer
10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with
nails and with hammers, that it not move.
Jer
10:5 They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don't speak:
they must be carried, because they can't go. Don't be afraid of them;
for they can't do evil, neither is it in them to do good."
Jer
10:6 There is none like you, Yahweh; you are great, and your name is
great in might.
Jer
10:7 Who should not fear you, King of the nations? for to you does
it appertain; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in
all their royal estate, there is none like you.
Jer
10:8 But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of
idols! it is but a stock.
Jer
10:9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from
Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the
hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are
all the work of skillful men.
Jer
10:10 But Yahweh is the true God; he is the living God, and an
everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations
are not able to abide his indignation.
Jer
10:11 You shall say this to them: The gods that have not made the
heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from
under the heavens.
Jer
10:12 He has made the earth by his power, he has established the
world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out
the heavens:
Jer
10:13 when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the
heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the
earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind
out of his treasuries.
Jer
10:14 Every man is become brutish and
is without knowledge; every goldsmith is
disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is
falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Jer
10:15 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their
visitation they shall perish.
Jer
10:16 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former
of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of
Armies is his name.
Jer
10:17 Gather up your wares out of the land, you who abide in the
siege.
Jer
10:18 For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants
of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel
it.
Jer
10:19 Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I
said, Truly this is my
grief, and I must bear it.
Jer
10:20 My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children
are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread
my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Jer
10:21 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of
Yahweh: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are
scattered.
Jer
10:22 The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out
of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a
dwelling place of jackals.
Jer
10:23 Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is
not in man who walks to direct his steps.
Jer
10:24 Yahweh, correct me, but in measure: not in your anger, lest
you bring me to nothing.
Jer
10:25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you, and on
the families that don't call on your name: for they have devoured
Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid
waste his habitation.
Jer
11:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
Jer
11:2 Hear you the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of
Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
Jer
11:3 and say you to them, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel:
Cursed be the man who doesn't hear the words of this covenant,
Jer
11:4 which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them
forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey
my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so you
shall be my people, and I will be your God;
Jer
11:5 that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to
give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then
answered I, and said, Amen, Yahweh.
Jer
11:6 Yahweh said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of
Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear you the words of
this covenant, and do them.
Jer
11:7 For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I
brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising
early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
Jer
11:8 Yet they didn't obey, nor turn their ear, but walked everyone
in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought on them
all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but
they didn't do them.
Jer
11:9 Yahweh said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of
Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Jer
11:10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers,
who refused to hear my words; and they are gone after other gods to
serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my
covenant which I made with their fathers.
Jer
11:11 Therefore thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will bring evil on them,
which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry to me, but
I will not listen to them.
Jer
11:12 Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense: but
they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
Jer
11:13 For according to the number of your cities are your gods,
Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have
you set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense
to Baal.
Jer
11:14 Therefore don't you pray for this people, neither lift up cry
nor prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they
cry to me because of their trouble.
Jer
11:15 What has my beloved to do in my house, seeing she has worked
lewdness with
many, and the holy flesh is passed from you? when you do evil, then
you rejoice.
Jer
11:16 Yahweh called your name, A green olive tree, beautiful with
goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire on
it, and its branches are broken.
Jer
11:17 For Yahweh of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil
against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the
house of Judah, which they have worked for themselves in provoking me
to anger by offering incense to Baal.
Jer
11:18 Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then you showed
me their doings.
Jer
11:19 But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and
I didn't know that they had devised devices against me, saying,
Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from
the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
Jer
11:20 But, Yahweh of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the
heart and the mind, I shall see your vengeance on them; for to you
have I revealed my cause.
Jer
11:21 Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the men of Anathoth, who
seek your life, saying, You shall not prophesy in the name of Yahweh,
that you not die by our hand;
Jer
11:22 therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, Behold, I will punish
them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their
daughters shall die by famine;
Jer
11:23 and there shall be no remnant to them: for I will bring evil
on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
Jer
12:1 Righteous are you, Yahweh, when I contend with you; yet would I
reason the cause with you: why does the way of the wicked prosper?
why are all they at ease who deal very treacherously?
Jer
12:2 You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow,
yes, they bring forth fruit: you are near in their mouth, and far
from their heart.
Jer
12:3 But you, Yahweh, know me; you see me, and try my heart toward
you: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for
the day of slaughter.
Jer
12:4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole
country wither? for the wickedness of those who dwell therein, the
animals are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not
see our latter end.
Jer
12:5 If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you,
then how can you contend with horses? and though in a land of peace
you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?
Jer
12:6 For even your brothers, and the house of your father, even they
have dealt treacherously with you; even they have cried aloud after
you: don't believe them, though they speak beautiful words to you.
Jer
12:7 I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have
given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
Jer
12:8 My heritage is become to me as a lion in the forest: she has
uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.
Jer
12:9 Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds
of prey against her all around? go you, assemble all the animals of
the field, bring them to devour.
Jer
12:10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden
my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate
wilderness.
Jer
12:11 They have made it a desolation; it mourns to me, being
desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man lays it to
heart.
Jer
12:12 Destroyers are come on all the bare heights in the wilderness;
for the sword of Yahweh devours from the one end of the land even to
the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.
Jer
12:13 They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put
themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and you shall be ashamed of
your fruits, because of the fierce anger of Yahweh.
Jer
12:14 Thus says Yahweh against all my evil neighbors, who touch the
inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: behold,
I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house
of Judah from among them.
Jer
12:15 It shall happen, after that I have plucked them up, I will
return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again,
every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
Jer
12:16 It shall happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my
people, to swear by my name, As Yahweh lives; even as they taught my
people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of
my people.
Jer
12:17 But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation,
plucking up and destroying it, says Yahweh.
Jer
13:1 Thus says Yahweh to me, Go, and buy you a linen belt, and put
it on your waist, and don't put it in water.
Jer
13:2 So I bought a belt according to the word of Yahweh, and put it
on my waist.
Jer
13:3 The word of Yahweh came to me the second time, saying,
Jer
13:4 Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and
arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.
Jer
13:5 So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as Yahweh commanded me.
Jer
13:6 It happened after many days, that Yahweh said to me, Arise, go
to the Euphrates, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you
to hide there.
Jer
13:7 Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the belt from
the place where I had hid it; and behold, the belt was marred, it was
profitable for nothing.
Jer
13:8 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Jer
13:9 Thus says Yahweh, After this manner will I mar the pride of
Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
Jer
13:10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the
stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve
them, and to worship them, shall even be as this belt, which is
profitable for nothing.
Jer
13:11 For as the belt cleaves to the waist of a man, so have I
caused to cleave to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house
of Judah, says Yahweh; that they may be to me for a people, and for a
name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
Jer
13:12 Therefore you shall speak to them this word: Thus says Yahweh,
the God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they
shall tell you, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be
filled with wine?
Jer
13:13 Then you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will
fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on
David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
Jer
13:14 I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the
sons together, says Yahweh: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have
compassion, that I should not destroy them.
Jer
13:15 Hear you, and give ear; don't be proud; for Yahweh has spoken.
Jer
13:16 Give glory to Yahweh your God, before he cause darkness, and
before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look
for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross
darkness.
Jer
13:17 But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for
your pride;
and my eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because Yahweh's
flock is taken captive.
Jer
13:18 Say you to the king and to the queen mother, Humble
yourselves, sit down; for your headdresses are come down, even the
crown of your glory.
Jer
13:19 The cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open
them: Judah is carried away captive, all of it; it is wholly carried
away captive.
Jer
13:20 Lift up your eyes, and see those who come from the north:
where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
Jer
13:21 What will you say, when he shall set over you as head those
whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? shall not sorrows
take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
Jer
13:22 If you say in your heart, Why are these things come on me? for
the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered, and your
heels suffer violence.
Jer
13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
Jer
13:24 Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passes
away, by the wind of the wilderness.
Jer
13:25 This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me, says
Yahweh; because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Jer
13:26 Therefore will I also uncover your skirts on your face, and
your shame shall appear.
Jer
13:27 I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your
neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the
field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! you will not be made clean; how long
shall it yet be?

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.

thus
says Yahweh, "Don`t learn the way of the nations, and don`t be
dismayed at the signs of the sky;
for the nations are dismayed at them.

saith Jehovah: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed
at the signs of
the
heavens; for the nations are dismayed at them.

said Jehovah: Unto the way of the nations accustom not yourselves,
And by
the
signs of the heavens be not affrighted, For the nations are
affrighted by them.
Jeremiah 10 3
For
the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the
forest, the work of the hands
of the workman with the ax.

the statutes of the peoples are vanity; for [it is] a tree cut out
of the forest, worked
with
a chisel by the hands of the artizan;

Work
of the hands of an artificer, with an axe,

deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with
hammers, that it not move.

silver and with gold they beautify it, With nails and with hammers
they fix
it,
And it doth not stumble.
Jeremiah 10 5
They
are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and don`t speak: they must be
carried, because they can`t
go. Don`t be afraid of them; for they can`t do evil, neither is it in
them to do good.
They
are as a palm-column of turned work, and they speak not; they are
carried, for they
cannot
go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is
it in them to do
good.
As
a palm they [are] stiff, and they speak not, They are surely borne,
for they step
not,
Be not afraid of them, for they do no evil, Yea, also to do good is
not in them.

There
is none like you, Yahweh; you are great, and your name is great in

name
in
might.

should not fear you, King of the nations? for to you does it
appertain; because among all the wise
men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like
you.

would not fear thee, O King of nations? For to thee doth it
appertain; for among all
the
wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none
like unto thee.
Who
doth not fear Thee, king of the nations? For to Thee it is becoming,
For
among
all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom there is none
like
Jeremiah 10 8
But
they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it
is but a stock.
But
they are one and all senseless and foolish; the teaching of vanities
is a stock.
And
in one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities [is]
the tree
itself.
Jeremiah 10 9
There
is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and
gold from Uphaz, the work
of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple
for their clothing; they are
all the work of skillful men.
Silver
spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz,
the work of the
artizan
and of the hands of the founder; blue and purple is their clothing:
they are all
the
work of skilful [men].

artizan,

Work of
the
skilful -- all of them.

Yahweh is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting
King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.
But
Jehovah Elohim is truth; he is the living God, and the King of
eternity. At his wrath
the
earth trembleth, and the nations cannot abide his indignation.

Jehovah [is] a God of truth, He [is] a living God, and a king
age-during, From
His
wrath shake doth the earth, And nations endure not His indignation.

shall you say to them, The gods that have not made the heavens and
the earth, these shall perish
from the earth, and from under the heavens.

shall ye say unto them: The gods that have not made the heavens and
the earth, these
shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.

do ye say to them, The gods Who the heavens and earth have not made,
They
do
perish from the earth, And from under these heavens.

He
has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his
wisdom, and by his
understanding
has he stretched out the heavens:
He
hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by
his wisdom, and
hath
stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
The
maker of the earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His
wisdom,
Who,
by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens,

of his treasuries.

At

heavens, And He
causeth
vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He
hath
made,
And bringeth out wind from His treasures.

Every
man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is
put to shame by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no
breath in them.
Every
man is become brutish, bereft of knowledge; every founder is put to
shame by the
graven
image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in
them.
Brutish
is every man by knowledge, Put to shame is every refiner by a graven
image,
For false [is] his molten image. And there is no breath in them.
Jeremiah 10 15
They
are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they
shall perish.

are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they
shall perish.

[are] they, work of erring ones, In the time of their inspection
they perish.
Jeremiah 10 16
The
portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all
things; and Israel is the tribe of his
inheritance: Yahweh of Hosts is his name.
The
portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all
[things], and Israel
is
the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.

He, And Israel
[is]
the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.

from the land thy merchandise, O dweller in the bulwark,

thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the
land at this time, and will distress
them, that they may feel [it].

inhabitants of the land, and

at this
time,
And have been an adversary to them, So that they are found out.

is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly
this is [my] grief, and I must
bear it.

is me, for my wound! My stroke is hard to heal, and I had said, Yea,
this is [my] grief,

I will bear it.

to me for my breaking, Grievious hath been my smiting, And I said,
Only, this
[is]
my sickness, and I bear it.

My
tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone
forth from me, and they are
no more: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my
curtains.
My
tent is despoiled, and all my cords are broken; my children are gone
forth from me,
and
they are not; there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and
to set up my
curtains.

tent hath been spoiled, And all my cords have been broken, My sons
have gone
out
from me, and they are not, There is none stretching out any more my
tent, And
raising up my curtains.
Jeremiah 10 21
For
the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Yahweh:
therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
For
the shepherds are become brutish, and have not sought Jehovah;
therefore have they
not
acted wisely, and all their flock is scattered.

the shepherds have become brutish, And Jehovah they have not sought,
Therefore
they have not acted wisely, And all their flock is scattered.

voice of a rumour! Behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of
the north
country,
to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of
jackals.

voice of a report, lo, it hath come, Even a great shaking from the
north country,
To
make the cities of Judah a desolation, A habitation of dragons.
Jeremiah 10 23
Yahweh,
I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who
walks to direct his steps.
I
know, Jehovah, that the way of man is not his own; it is not in a
man that walketh to
direct
his steps.
I
have known, O Jehovah, that not of man [is] his way, Not of man the
going and
establishing
of his step.
Jeremiah 10 24
Yahweh,
correct me, but in measure: not in your anger, lest you bring me to
nothing.
Jehovah,
correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring
me to
Chastise
me, O Jehovah, only in judgment, Not in Thine anger, lest Thou make
me
small.
Jeremiah 10 25
Pour
out your wrath on the nations that don`t know you, and on the
families that don`t call on your
name: for they have devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and
consumed him, and have
laid waste his habitation.
Pour
out thy fury upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the
families that call not
on thy name; for they have eaten up Jacob, yea, they have eaten him
up and consumed
him,
and have laid waste his dwelling-place.
Pour
out Thy fury on the nations that have not known Thee, And on the
families
that
have not called in Thy name, For they have eaten up Jacob, Yea, they
have
eaten
him up, yea, they consume him, And his habitation they have made
desolate!

Hebrews 1
Heb 1:1 God, having in
the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and
in various ways,
Heb 1:2 has at the end
of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all
things, through whom also he made the worlds.
Heb 1:3 His Son is the
radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding
all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made
purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty
on high;
Heb 1:4 having become
so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent
name than they have.
Heb 1:5 For to which of
the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son. Today have
I become your father?" and again, "I will be to him a
Father, and he will be to me a Son?"
Heb 1:6 Again, when he
brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the
angels of God worship him."
Heb 1:7 Of the angels
he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame
of fire."
Heb 1:8 But of the Son
he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter
of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
Heb 1:9 You have loved
righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has
anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows."
Heb 1:10 And, "You,
Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens
are the works of your hands.
Heb 1:11 They will
perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
Heb 1:12 As a mantle,
you will roll them up, and they will be changed; but you are the
same. Your years will not fail."
Heb 1:13 But which of
the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until
I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"
Heb 1:14 Aren't they
all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who
will inherit salvation?

The

Bible
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.
