Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Jeremiah 10

1 The unequal comparison of God and idols. 17 The prophet exhorteth to flee from the calamity to come. 19 He lamenteth the spoil of the Tabernacle by foolish pastors. 23 He maketh an humble supplication.

 10:1 ¶ Hear 8085 z8798 ye x853 the word 1697 which x834 the LORD 3068 speaketh 1696 z8765 unto x5921 you, O house 1004 of Israel: 3478

 10:2 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 Learn 3925 z8799 not x408 the way 1870 of the heathen, 1471 and be not x408 dismayed 2865 z8735 at the signs 226 x4480 of heaven; 8064 for x3588 the heathen 1471 are dismayed 2865 z8735 at them. 1992 x4480

 10:3 For x3588 the customs 2708 of the people 5971 [are] vain: 1892 for x3588 [one] cutteth 3772 z8804 a tree 6086 out of the forest, 3293 x4480 the work 4639 of the hands 3027 of the workman, 2796 with the axe. 4621

 10:4 They deck 3302 z8762 it with silver 3701 and with gold; 2091 they fasten 2388 z8762 it with nails 4548 and with hammers, 4717 that it move 6328 z8686 not. x3808

 10:5 They x1992 [are] upright 4749 as the palm tree, 8560 but speak 1696 z8762 not: x3808 they must needs y5375 z8800 be borne, 5375 z8735 because x3588 they cannot x3808 go. 6805 z8799 Be not x408 afraid 3372 z8799 of x4480 them; for x3588 they cannot x3808 do evil, 7489 z8686 neither x369 also x1571 [is it] in x854 them to do good. 3190 z8687

 10:6 Forasmuch as [there is] none x4480 x369 like unto thee, x3644 O LORD; 3068 thou x859 [art] great, 1419 and thy name 8034 [is] great 1419 in might. 1369

 10:7 Who x4310 would not x3808 fear 3372 z8799 thee, O King 4428 of nations? 1471 for x3588 to thee doth it appertain: 2969 z8804 forasmuch x3588 as among all x3605 the wise 2450 [men] of the nations, 1471 and in all x3605 their kingdoms, 4438 [there is] none x4480 x369 like unto thee. x3644

 10:8 But they are altogether 259 brutish 1197 z8799 and foolish: 3688 z8799 the stock 6086 [is] a doctrine 4148 of vanities. 1892

 10:9 Silver 3701 spread into plates 7554 z8794 is brought 935 z8714 from Tarshish, 8659 x4480 and gold 2091 from Uphaz, 210 x4480 the work 4639 of the workman, 2796 and of the hands 3027 of the founder: 6884 z8802 blue 8504 and purple 713 [is] their clothing: 3830 they [are] all x3605 the work 4639 of cunning 2450 [men].

 10:10 But the LORD 3068 [is] the true 571 God, 430 he x1931 [is] the living 2416 God, 430 and an everlasting 5769 king: 4428 at his wrath 7110 x4480 the earth 776 shall tremble, 7493 z8799 and the nations 1471 shall not x3808 be able to abide 3557 z8686 his indignation. 2195

 10:11 Thus 1836 shall ye say 560 z8748 unto them, The gods 426 that x1768 have not 3809 made 5648 z8754 the heavens 8065 and the earth, 778 [even] they shall perish 7 z8748 from the earth, 772 x4481 and from x4481 under 8460 these 429 heavens. 8065

 10:12 He hath made 6213 z8802 the earth 776 by his power, 3581 he hath established 3559 z8688 the world 8398 by his wisdom, 2451 and hath stretched out 5186 z8804 the heavens 8064 by his discretion. 8394

 10:13 When he uttereth 5414 z8800 his voice, 6963 [there is] a multitude 1995 of waters 4325 in the heavens, 8064 and he causeth the vapours 5387 to ascend 5927 z8686 from the ends 7097 x4480 of the earth; 776 he maketh 6213 z8804 lightnings 1300 with rain, 4306 and bringeth forth 3318 z8686 the wind 7307 out of his treasures. 214 x4480

 10:14 Every x3605 man 120 is brutish 1197 z8738 in [his] knowledge: 1847 x4480 every x3605 founder 6884 z8802 is confounded 3001 z8689 by the graven image: 6459 x4480 for x3588 his molten image 5262 [is] falsehood, 8267 and [there is] no x3808 breath 7307 in them.

 10:15 They x1992 [are] vanity, 1892 [and] the work 4639 of errors: 8595 in the time 6256 of their visitation 6486 they shall perish. 6 z8799

 10:16 The portion 2506 of Jacob 3290 [is] not x3808 like them: x428 for x3588 he x1931 [is] the former 3335 z8802 of all x3605 [things]; and Israel 3478 [is] the rod 7626 of his inheritance: 5159 The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 [is] his name. 8034

 10:17 ¶ Gather up 622 z8798 thy wares 3666 out of the land, 776 x4480 O inhabitant 3427 z8802 of the fortress. y4692 x4693

 10:18 For x3588 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 Behold, x2009 I will sling y7049 z8802 out x7049 x853 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the land 776 at this x2063 once, 6471 and will distress 6887 z8689 them, that x4616 they may find 4672 z8799 [it so].

 10:19 ¶ Woe 188 is me for x5921 my hurt! 7667 my wound 4347 is grievous: 2470 z8737 but I x589 said, 559 z8804 Truly 389 this x2088 [is] a grief, 2483 and I must bear 5375 z8799 it.

 10:20 My tabernacle 168 is spoiled, 7703 z8795 and all x3605 my cords 4340 are broken: 5423 z8738 my children 1121 are gone forth 3318 z8804 of me, and they [are] not: x369 [there is] none x369 to stretch forth 5186 z8802 my tent 168 any more, x5750 and to set up 6965 z8688 my curtains. 3407

 10:21 For x3588 the pastors 7462 z8802 are become brutish, 1197 z8738 and have not x3808 sought 1875 z8804 the LORD: 3068 therefore x5921 x3651 they shall not x3808 prosper, 7919 z8689 and all x3605 their flocks 4830 shall be scattered. 6327 z8738

 10:22 Behold, x2009 the noise 6963 of the bruit 8052 is come, 935 z8802 and a great 1419 commotion 7494 out of the north y6828 country, 776 x4480 x6828 to make 7760 z8800 x853 the cities 5892 of Judah 3063 desolate, 8077 [and] a den 4583 of dragons. 8577

 10:23 ¶ O LORD, 3068 I know 3045 z8804 that x3588 the way 1870 of man 120 [is] not x3808 in himself: [it is] not x3808 in man 376 that walketh 1980 z8802 to direct 3559 z8687 x853 his steps. 6806

 10:24 O LORD, 3068 correct 3256 z8761 me, but with x389 judgment; 4941 not x408 in thine anger, 639 lest x6435 thou bring me to nothing. 4591 z8686

 10:25 Pour out 8210 z8798 thy fury 2534 upon x5921 the heathen 1471 that x834 know 3045 z8804 thee not, x3808 and upon x5921 the families 4940 that x834 call 7121 z8804 not x3808 on thy name: 8034 for x3588 they have eaten up 398 z8804 x853 Jacob, 3290 and devoured 398 z8804 him, and consumed 3615 z8762 him, and have made his habitation 5116 desolate. 8074 z8689
