KJVAnd thou shalt swear^H7650^(H8738), The LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416, in truth^H571, in judgment^H4941, and in righteousness^H6666; and the nations^H1471 shall bless^H1288^(H8694) themselves in him, and in him shall they glory^H1984^(H8691).

³ For Yahweh says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, “Break up your fallow ground, and don’t sow among thorns.

KJVFor thus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 to the men^H376 of Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem^H3389, Break up^H5214^(H8798) your fallow ground^H5215, and sow^H2232^(H8799) not among thorns^H6975.

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 out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

KJVCircumcise^H4135^(H8734) yourselves to the LORD^H3068, and take away^H5493^(H8685) the foreskins^H6190 of your heart^H3824, ye men^H376 of Judah^H3063 and inhabitants^H3427^(H8802) of Jerusalem^H3389: lest my fury^H2534 come forth^H3318^(H8799) like fire^H784, and burn^H1197^(H8804) that none can quench^H3518^(H8764) it, because^H6440 of the evil^H7455 of your doings^H4611.

KJVDeclare^H5046^(H8685) ye in Judah^H3063, and publish^H8085^(H8685) in Jerusalem^H3389; and say^H559^(H8798), Blow^H8628^(H8798) ye the trumpet^H7782 in the land^H776: cry^H7121^(H8798), gather together^H4390^(H8761), and say^H559^(H8798), Assemble^H622^(H8734) yourselves, and let us go^H935^(H8799) into the defenced^H4013 cities^H5892.

⁶ Set up a standard toward Zion. Flee for safety! Don’t wait; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.”

KJVSet up^H5375^(H8798) the standard^H5251 toward Zion^H6726: retire^H5756^(H8685), stay^H5975^(H8799) not: for I will bring^H935^(H8688) evil^H7451 from the north^H6828, and a great^H1419 destruction^H7667.

⁸ For this, clothe yourself with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of Yahweh hasn’t turned back from us.

KJVFor this gird^H2296^(H8798) you with sackcloth^H8242, lament^H5594^(H8798) and howl^H3213^(H8685): for the fierce^H2740 anger^H639 of the LORD^H3068 is not turned back^H7725^(H8804) from us.

⁹ “It will happen at that day,” says Yahweh, “that the heart of the king will perish, along with the heart of the princes. The priests will be astonished, and the prophets will wonder.”

KJVAnd it shall come to pass at that day^H3117, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068, that the heart^H3820 of the king^H4428 shall perish^H6^(H8799), and the heart^H3820 of the princes^H8269; and the priests^H3548 shall be astonished^H8074^(H8738), and the prophets^H5030 shall wonder^H8539^(H8799).

¹⁰ Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You will have peace;’ whereas the sword reaches to the heart.”

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) I, Ah^H162, Lord^H136 GOD^H3069! surely^H403 thou hast greatly^H5377^(H8687) deceived^H5377^(H8689) this people^H5971 and Jerusalem^H3389, saying^H559^(H8800), Ye shall have peace^H7965; whereas the sword^H2719 reacheth^H5060^(H8804) unto the soul^H5315.

¹¹ At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, “A hot wind blows from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse.

KJVAt that time^H6256 shall it be said^H559^(H8735) to this people^H5971 and to Jerusalem^H3389, A dry^H6703 wind^H7307 of the high places^H8205 in the wilderness^H4057 toward^H1870 the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971, not to fan^H2219^(H8800), nor to cleanse^H1305^(H8687),

¹² A full wind from these will come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against them.”

KJVEven a full^H4392 wind^H7307 from those places shall come^H935^(H8799) unto me: now also will I give^H1696^(H8762) sentence^H4941 against them.

KJVBehold, he shall come up^H5927^(H8799) as clouds^H6051, and his chariots^H4818 shall be as a whirlwind^H5492: his horses^H5483 are swifter^H7043^(H8804) than eagles^H5404. Woe^H188 unto us! for we are spoiled^H7703^(H8795).

¹⁴ Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long will your evil thoughts lodge within you?

KJVO Jerusalem^H3389, wash^H3526^(H8761) thine heart^H3820 from wickedness^H7451, that thou mayest be saved^H3467^(H8735). How long shall thy vain^H205 thoughts^H4284 lodge^H3885^(H8686) within^H7130 thee?

¹⁵ For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Ephraim:

KJVFor a voice^H6963 declareth^H5046^(H8688) from Dan^H1835, and publisheth^H8085^(H8688) affliction^H205 from mount^H2022 Ephraim^H669.

¹⁶ “Tell the nations, behold, publish against Jerusalem, ‘Watchers come from a far country, and raise their voice against the cities of Judah.

KJVMake ye mention^H2142^(H8685) to the nations^H1471; behold, publish^H8085^(H8685) against Jerusalem^H3389, that watchers^H5341^(H8802) come^H935^(H8802) from a far^H4801 country^H776, and give out^H5414^(H8799) their voice^H6963 against the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063.

¹⁷ As keepers of a field, they are against her all around, because she has been rebellious against me,’” says Yahweh.

KJVAs keepers^H8104^(H8802) of a field^H7704, are they against her round about^H5439; because she hath been rebellious^H4784^(H8804) against me, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068.

¹⁸ “Your way and your doings have brought these things to you. This is your wickedness, for it is bitter, for it reaches to your heart.”

KJVThy way^H1870 and thy doings^H4611 have procured^H6213^(H8804) these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness^H7451, because it is bitter^H4751, because it reacheth^H5060^(H8804) unto thine heart^H3820.

¹⁹ My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart! My heart trembles within me. I can’t hold my peace, because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

KJVMy bowels^H4578, my bowels^H4578! I am pained^H2342^(H8799)^(H8675)^H3176^(H8686) at my very^H7023 heart^H3820; my heart^H3820 maketh a noise^H1993^(H8802) in me; I cannot hold my peace^H2790^(H8686), because thou hast heard^H8085^(H8804), O my soul^H5315, the sound^H6963 of the trumpet^H7782, the alarm^H8643 of war^H4421.

²⁰ Destruction on destruction is decreed, for the whole land is laid waste. Suddenly my tents are destroyed, and my curtains gone in a moment.

KJVDestruction^H7667 upon destruction^H7667 is cried^H7121^(H8738); for the whole land^H776 is spoiled^H7703^(H8795): suddenly^H6597 are my tents^H168 spoiled^H7703^(H8795), and my curtains^H3407 in a moment^H7281.

²¹ How long will I see the standard and hear the sound of the trumpet?

KJVHow long shall I see^H7200^(H8799) the standard^H5251, and hear^H8085^(H8799) the sound^H6963 of the trumpet^H7782?

²² “For my people are foolish. They don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but they don’t know how to do good.”

KJVFor my people^H5971 is foolish^H191, they have not known^H3045^(H8804) me; they are sottish^H5530 children^H1121, and they have none understanding^H995^(H8737): they are wise^H2450 to do evil^H7489^(H8687), but to do good^H3190^(H8687) they have no knowledge^H3045^(H8804).

²³ I saw the earth and, behold, it was waste and void, and the heavens, and they had no light.

KJVI beheld^H7200^(H8804) the earth^H776, and, lo, it was without form^H8414, and void^H922; and the heavens^H8064, and they had no light^H216.

²⁴ I saw the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.

KJVI beheld^H7200^(H8804) the mountains^H2022, and, lo, they trembled^H7493^(H8801), and all the hills^H1389 moved lightly^H7043^(H8701).

²⁵ I saw, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled.

KJVI beheld^H7200^(H8804), and, lo, there was no man^H120, and all the birds^H5775 of the heavens^H8064 were fled^H5074^(H8804).

²⁶ I saw, and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, before his fierce anger.

KJVI beheld^H7200^(H8804), and, lo, the fruitful place^H3759 was a wilderness^H4057, and all the cities^H5892 thereof were broken down^H5422^(H8738) at the presence^H6440 of the LORD^H3068, and by his fierce^H2740 anger^H639.

²⁷ For Yahweh says, “The whole land will be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.

KJVFor thus hath the LORD^H3068 said^H559^(H8804), The whole land^H776 shall be desolate^H8077; yet will I not make^H6213^(H8799) a full end^H3617.

²⁸ For this the earth will mourn, and the heavens above be black, because I have spoken it. I have planned it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.”

KJVFor this shall the earth^H776 mourn^H56^(H8799), and the heavens^H8064 above^H4605 be black^H6937^(H8804): because I have spoken^H1696^(H8765) it, I have purposed^H2161^(H8804) it, and will not repent^H5162^(H8738), neither will I turn back^H7725^(H8799) from it.

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.

KJVThe whole city^H5892 shall flee^H1272^(H8802) for the noise^H6963 of the horsemen^H6571 and bowmen^H7198^H7411^(H8802); they shall go^H935^(H8804) into thickets^H5645, and climb up^H5927^(H8804) upon the rocks^H3710: every city^H5892 shall be forsaken^H5800^(H8803), and not a man^H376 dwell^H3427^(H8802) therein^H2004.

³⁰ You, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, though you deck yourself with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with makeup, you make yourself beautiful in vain. Your lovers despise you. They seek your life.

KJVAnd when thou art spoiled^H7703^(H8803), what wilt thou do^H6213^(H8799)? Though thou clothest^H3847^(H8799) thyself with crimson^H8144, though thou deckest^H5710^(H8799) thee with ornaments^H5716 of gold^H2091, though thou rentest^H7167^(H8799) thy face^H5869 with painting^H6320, in vain^H7723 shalt thou make thyself fair^H3302^(H8691); thy lovers^H5689^(H8802) will despise^H3988^(H8804) thee, they will seek^H1245^(H8762) thy life^H5315.

³¹ For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who gives birth to 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.”

KJVFor I have heard^H8085^(H8804) a voice^H6963 as of a woman in travail^H2470^(H8802), and the anguish^H6869 as of her that bringeth forth her first child^H1069^(H8688), the voice^H6963 of the daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726, that bewaileth^H3306^(H8691) herself, that spreadeth^H6566^(H8762) her hands^H3709, saying, Woe^H188 is me now! for my soul^H5315 is wearied^H5888^(H8804) because of murderers^H2026^(H8802).

WEB·Jeremiah 3

¹“They say, ‘If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and becomes another man’s, should he return to her again?’ Wouldn’t that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the prostitute with many lovers; yet return again to me,” says Yahweh.

KJVThey say^H559^(H8800), If a man^H376 put away^H7971^(H8762) his wife^H802, and she go^H1980^(H8804) from him, and become another^H312 man's^H376, shall he return unto her again^H7725^(H8799)? shall not that land^H776 be greatly^H2610^(H8800) polluted^H2610^(H8799)? but thou hast played the harlot^H2181^(H8804) with many^H7227 lovers^H7453; yet return again^H7725^(H8800) to me, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068.

² “Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see! Where have you not been lain with? You have sat waiting for them by the road, as an Arabian in the wilderness. You have polluted the land with your prostitution and with your wickedness.

KJVLift up^H5375^(H8798) thine eyes^H5869 unto the high places^H8205, and see^H7200^(H8798) where^H375 thou hast not been lien^H7693^(H8795)^(H8676)^H7901^(H8795) with. In the ways^H1870 hast thou sat^H3427^(H8804) for them, as the Arabian^H6163 in the wilderness^H4057; and thou hast polluted^H2610^(H8686) the land^H776 with thy whoredoms^H2184 and with thy wickedness^H7451.

³ Therefore the showers have been withheld and there has been no latter rain; yet you have had a prostitute’s forehead and you refused to be ashamed.

KJVTherefore the showers^H7241 have been withholden^H4513^(H8735), and there hath been no latter rain^H4456; and thou hadst a whore's^H2181^(H8802)^H802 forehead^H4696, thou refusedst^H3985^(H8765) to be ashamed^H3637^(H8736).

⁴ Will you not from this time cry to me, ‘My Father, you are the guide of my youth!’?

KJVWilt thou not from this time cry^H7121^(H8804) unto me, My father^H1, thou art the guide^H441 of my youth^H5271?

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.”

KJVWill he reserve^H5201^(H8799) his anger for ever^H5769? will he keep^H8104^(H8799) it to the end^H5331? Behold, thou hast spoken^H1696^(H8765) and done^H6213^(H8799) evil things^H7451 as thou couldest^H3201^(H8799).

⁶ Moreover, Yahweh said to me in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and has played the prostitute there.

KJVThe LORD^H3068 said^H559^(H8799) also unto me in the days^H3117 of Josiah^H2977 the king^H4428, Hast thou seen^H7200^(H8804) that which backsliding^H4878 Israel^H3478 hath done^H6213^(H8804)? she is gone up^H1980^(H8802) upon every high^H1364 mountain^H2022 and under^H8478 every green^H7488 tree^H6086, and there hath played the harlot^H2181^(H8799).

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.

KJVAnd I said^H559^(H8799) after^H310 she had done^H6213^(H8800) all these things, Turn^H7725^(H8799) thou unto me. But she returned^H7725^(H8804) not. And her treacherous^H901 sister^H269 Judah^H3063 saw^H7200^(H8799) it.

⁸ I saw when, for this very cause, that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, had no fear, but she also went and played the prostitute.

KJVAnd I saw^H7200^(H8799), when for all the causes^H182 whereby backsliding^H4878 Israel^H3478 committed adultery^H5003^(H8765) I had put her away^H7971^(H8765), and given^H5414^(H8799) her a bill^H5612 of divorce^H3748; yet her treacherous^H898^(H8802) sister^H269 Judah^H3063 feared^H3372^(H8804) not, but went^H3212^(H8799) and played the harlot^H2181^(H8799) also.

⁹ Because she took her prostitution lightly, the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with wood.

KJVAnd it came to pass through the lightness^H6963 of her whoredom^H2184, that she defiled^H2610^(H8799) the land^H776, and committed adultery^H5003^(H8799) with stones^H68 and with stocks^H6086.

¹⁰ Yet for all this her treacherous sister, Judah, has not returned to me with her whole heart, but only in pretense,” says Yahweh.

KJVAnd yet for all this her treacherous^H901 sister^H269 Judah^H3063 hath not turned^H7725^(H8804) unto me with her whole heart^H3820, but feignedly^H8267, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068.

¹¹ Yahweh said to me, “Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

KJVAnd the LORD^H3068 said^H559^(H8799) unto me, The backsliding^H4878 Israel^H3478 hath justified^H6663^(H8765) herself^H5315 more than treacherous^H898^(H8802) Judah^H3063.

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.

KJVGo^H1980^(H8800) and proclaim^H7121^(H8804) these words^H1697 toward the north^H6828, and say^H559^(H8804), Return^H7725^(H8798), thou backsliding^H4878 Israel^H3478, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068; and I will not cause mine anger^H6440 to fall^H5307^(H8686) upon you: for I am merciful^H2623, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068, and I will not keep^H5201^(H8799) anger for ever^H5769.

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.

KJVOnly acknowledge^H3045^(H8798) thine iniquity^H5771, that thou hast transgressed^H6586^(H8804) against the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430, and hast scattered^H6340^(H8762) thy ways^H1870 to the strangers^H2114^(H8801) under every green^H7488 tree^H6086, and ye have not obeyed^H8085^(H8804) my voice^H6963, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068.

¹⁴ “Return, backsliding children,” says Yahweh, “for I am a husband to you. I will take one of you from a city, and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.

KJVTurn^H7725^(H8798), O backsliding^H7726 children^H1121, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068; for I am married^H1166^(H8804) unto you: and I will take^H3947^(H8804) you one^H259 of a city^H5892, and two^H8147 of a family^H4940, and I will bring^H935^(H8689) you to Zion^H6726:

¹⁵ I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.

KJVAnd I will give^H5414^(H8804) you pastors^H7462^(H8802) according to mine heart^H3820, which shall feed^H7462^(H8804) you with knowledge^H1844 and understanding^H7919^(H8687).

¹⁶ It will come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days,” says Yahweh, “they will no longer say, ‘the ark of Yahweh’s covenant!’ It will not come to mind. They won’t remember it. They won’t miss it, nor will another be made.

KJVAnd it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied^H7235^(H8799) and increased^H6509^(H8804) in the land^H776, in those days^H3117, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068, they shall say^H559^(H8799) no more, The ark^H727 of the covenant^H1285 of the LORD^H3068: neither shall it come^H5927^(H8799) to mind^H3820: neither shall they remember^H2142^(H8799) it; neither shall they visit^H6485^(H8799) it; neither shall that be done^H6213^(H8735) any more.
