Jeremiah 15

Judgment Must Come

1

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, "Even  athoughh518  bMosesh4872 and  cSamuelh8050 were to  dstandh5975 beforeh6440 Me, My  1hearth5315 would not be  2with thish2088 peopleh5971a;  esendh7971 them awayh7971 from My presenceh6440 and let them goh3318!

2

"And it shall be that whenh3588 they sayh559 to you, `Whereh575 should we goh3318?' then you are to tellh559 them, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068: "Those destined  afor deathh4194, to deathh4194; And those destined for the swordh2719, to the swordh2719; And those destined for famineh7458, to famineh7458; And those destined for captivityh7628b, to captivityh7628b."'

3

"I will  aappointh6485 overh5921 them fourh702 kindsh4940 of doom," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068: "the swordh2719 to slayh2026, the  bdogsh3611 to dragh5498 off, and the  cbirdsh5775 of the skyh8064 and the beastsh929 of the earthh776 to devourh398 and destroyh7843.

4

"I will  amakeh5414 them an objecth2113 of horrorh2113 among allh3605 the kingdomsh4467 of the earthh776 becauseh1558 of  bManassehh4519, the sonh1121 of Hezekiahh2396, the kingh4428 of Judahh3063, for whath834 he didh6213a in Jerusalemh3389.

5

"Indeedh3588, whoh4310 will haveh2550  apityh2550 on you, O Jerusalemh3389, Or whoh4310 will  bmournh5110 for you, Or whoh4310 will turnh5493 asideh5493 to askh7592 about your welfareh7965?

6

"You who have  aforsakenh5203 Me," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "You keep  bgoingh1980 backwardh268. So I will  cstretchh5186 out My handh3027 againsth5921 you and destroyh7843 you; I am  dtiredh3811 of relentingh5162!

7

"I will  awinnowh2219 them with a winnowingh2219 forkh4214 At the gatesh8179 of the landh776; I will  bbereaveh7921 them of childrenh7921, I will destroyh6 My peopleh5971a;  cThey did not  1repenth7725 of their waysh1870.

8

"Their  awidowsh490 will be moreh4480 numeroush6105a before Me Thanh4480 the sandh2344 of the seash3220; I will bringh935 against them, againsth5921 the motherh517 of a youngh970 manh970, A  bdestroyerh7703 at noondayh6672a; I will suddenlyh6597 bringh5307 downh5307 on her Anguishh5892a and dismayh928.

9

"She who  aboreh3205 sevenh7651 sons pinesh535 awayh535;  1Her breathingh5301 is laboredh5301. Her  bsunh8121 has seth935 while it was yeth5750 dayh3119; She has beenh954  cshamedh954 and humiliatedh2659. So I will  dgiveh5414 over their survivorsh7611 to the swordh2719 Beforeh6440 their enemiesh340," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

10

 aWoeh188 to me, my motherh517, that you have borneh3205 me As a  bmanh376 of strifeh7379 and a manh376 of contentionh4066 to allh3605 the landh776! I have not  clenth5383, norh3808 have men lenth5383 money to me, Yet everyoneh3605 cursesh7043 me.

11

The LORDh3068 saidh559, "Surelyh518h3808 I will  aseth8281 you freeh8281 for purposes of goodh2896b; Surelyh518h3808 I will cause the  benemyh340 to makeh6293 supplicationh6293 to you In a timeh6256 of disasterh7463a and a timeh6256 of distressh6869a.

12

"Can anyone smashh7489b ironh1270,  aIronh1270 from the northh6828, or bronzeh5178?

13

"Your  awealthh2428 and your treasuresh214 I will giveh5414 for bootyh957  bwithouth3808 costh4242, Even for allh3605 your sinsh2403b And within allh3605 your bordersh1366.

14

"Then I will cause your enemiesh340 to bringh5674a  1it Into a  alandh776 you do not knowh3045; For a  bfireh784 has beenh6919 kindledh6919 in My angerh639, It will burnh3344 upon you."

Jeremiah's Prayer and God's Answer

15

 aYou who knowh3045, O LORDh3068, Rememberh2142 me, takeh6485 noticeh6485 of me, And  btakeh5358 vengeanceh5358 for me on my persecutorsh7291. Do not, in view of Your patienceh750, takeh3947 me away; Knowh3045 that  cfor Your sakeh5921 I endureh5375 reproachh2781.

16

Your wordsh1697 were foundh4672 and I  aateh398 them, And Your  bwordsh1697 becameh1961 for me a joyh8342 and the delighth8057 of my hearth3824; For I have been  ccalledh7121 by Your nameh8034, O LORDh3068 Godh430 of hostsh6635.

17

I  adid not sith3427 in the circleh5475 of merrymakersh7832, Norh3808 did I exulth5937. Becauseh4480h6440 of Your handh3027 upon me I sath3427  baloneh910, For You  cfilledh4390 me with indignationh2195.

18

Whyh4100 has my painh3511 beenh1961 perpetualh5331 And my  awoundh4347 incurableh605, refusingh3985 to be healedh7495? Will You indeedh1961 be to me  blikeh3644 a deceptiveh391 stream With waterh4325 that is unreliableh539h3808?

19

Thereforeh3651, thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, " aIfh518 you returnh7725, then I will restoreh7725 you--  bBeforeh6440 Me you will standh5975; And  cifh518 you extracth3318 the precioush3368 from the worthlessh2151b, You will becomeh1961  1My spokesmanh6310. They for their parth1992a may turnh7725 to you, But as for you, you must not turnh7725 to them.

20

"Then I will  amakeh5414 you to thish2088 peopleh5971a A fortifiedh1219 wallh2346 of bronzeh5178; And though they fighth3898a againsth413 you, They will not prevailh3201 over you; For  bI am with you to saveh3467 you And deliverh5337 you," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

21

"So I will  adeliverh5337 you from the handh3027 of the wickedh7451a, And I will  bredeemh6299 you from the  1grasph3709 of the violenth6184."
