Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Jeremiah 17

1 The captivity of Judah for her sin. 5 Trust in man is cursed, 7 in God is blessed. 9 The deceitful heart cannot deceive God. 12 The salvation of God. 15 The prophet complaineth of the mockers of his prophecy. 19 He is sent to renew the Covenant in hallowing the Sabbath.

 17:1 ¶ The sin 2403 of Judah 3063 [is] written 3789 z8803 with a pen 5842 of iron, 1270 [and] with the point 6856 of a diamond: 8068 [it is] graven 2790 z8803 upon x5921 the table 3871 of their heart, 3820 and upon the horns 7161 of your altars; 4196

 17:2 Whilst their children 1121 remember 2142 z8800 their altars 4196 and their groves 842 by x5921 the green 7488 trees 6086 upon x5921 the high 1364 hills. 1389

 17:3 O my mountain 2042 in the field, 7704 I will give 5414 z8799 thy substance 2428 [and] all x3605 thy treasures 214 to the spoil, 957 [and] thy high places 1116 for sin, 2403 throughout all x3605 thy borders. 1366

 17:4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue 8058 z8804 from thine heritage 5159 x4480 that x834 I gave 5414 z8804 thee; and I will cause thee to serve 5647 z8689 x853 thine enemies 341 z8802 in the land 776 which x834 thou knowest 3045 z8804 not: x3808 for x3588 ye have kindled 6919 z8804 a fire 784 in mine anger, 639 [which] shall burn 3344 z8714 for y5704 ever. 5769 x5704

 17:5 ¶ Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD; 3068 Cursed 779 z8803 [be] the man 1397 that x834 trusteth 982 z8799 in man, 120 and maketh 7760 z8804 flesh 1320 his arm, 2220 and whose heart 3820 departeth 5493 z8799 from x4480 the LORD. 3068

 17:6 For he shall be x1961 like the heath y6199 x6176 in the desert, 6160 and shall not x3808 see 7200 z8799 when x3588 good 2896 cometh; 935 z8799 but shall inhabit 7931 z8804 the parched places 2788 in the wilderness, 4057 [in] a salt 4420 land 776 and not x3808 inhabited. 3427 z8799

 17:7 Blessed 1288 z8803 [is] the man 1397 that x834 trusteth 982 z8799 in the LORD, 3068 and whose hope 4009 the LORD 3068 is. x1961

 17:8 For he shall be x1961 as a tree 6086 planted 8362 z8803 by x5921 the waters, 4325 and [that] spreadeth out 7971 z8762 her roots 8328 by x5921 the river, 3105 and shall not x3808 see 7200 z8799 when x3588 heat 2527 cometh, 935 z8799 but her leaf 5929 shall be x1961 green; 7488 and shall not x3808 be careful 1672 z8799 in the year 8141 of drought, 1226 neither x3808 shall cease 4185 z8686 from yielding 6213 z8800 x4480 fruit. 6529

 17:9 ¶ The heart 3820 [is] deceitful 6121 above all x4480 x3605 [things], and desperately wicked: 605 z8803 who x4310 can know 3045 z8799 it?

 17:10 I x589 the LORD 3068 search 2713 z8802 the heart, 3820 [I] try 974 z8802 the reins, 3629 even to give 5414 z8800 every man 376 according to his ways, 1870 [and] according to the fruit 6529 of his doings. 4611

 17:11 [As] the partridge 7124 sitteth 1716 z8804 [on eggs], and hatcheth 3205 z8804 [them] not; x3808 [so] he that getteth 6213 z8802 riches, 6239 and not x3808 by right, 4941 shall leave 5800 z8799 them in the midst 2677 of his days, 3117 and at his end 319 shall be x1961 a fool. 5036

 17:12 ¶ A glorious 3519 high 4791 throne 3678 from the beginning 7223 x4480 [is] the place 4725 of our sanctuary. 4720

 17:13 O LORD, 3068 the hope 4723 of Israel, 3478 all x3605 that forsake 5800 z8802 thee shall be ashamed, 954 z8799 [and] they that depart y3249 from x3249 me y5493 z8803 shall be written 3789 z8735 in the earth, 776 because x3588 they have forsaken 5800 z8804 x853 the LORD, 3068 the fountain 4726 of living 2416 waters. 4325

 17:14 Heal 7495 z8798 me, O LORD, 3068 and I shall be healed; 7495 z8735 save 3467 z8685 me, and I shall be saved: 3467 z8735 for x3588 thou x859 [art] my praise. 8416

 17:15 ¶ Behold, x2009 they x1992 say 559 z8802 unto x413 me, Where x346 [is] the word 1697 of the LORD? 3068 let it come 935 z8799 now. x4994

 17:16 As for me, I x589 have not x3808 hastened 213 z8804 from [being] a pastor 7462 z8802 x4480 to follow 310 thee: neither x3808 have I desired 183 z8694 the woeful 605 z8803 day; 3117 thou x859 knowest: 3045 z8804 that which came x4161 out y4161 of x6440 my lips 8193 was x1961 [right] before 5227 x6440 thee. y6440

 17:17 Be x1961 not x408 a terror 4288 unto me: thou x859 [art] my hope 4268 in the day 3117 of evil. 7451

 17:18 Let them be confounded 954 z8799 that persecute 7291 z8802 me, but let not x408 me x589 be confounded: 954 z8799 let them x1992 be dismayed, 2865 z8735 but let not x408 me x589 be dismayed: 2865 z8735 bring 935 z8687 upon x5921 them the day 3117 of evil, 7451 and destroy 7665 z8798 them with double 4932 destruction. 7670

 17:19 ¶ Thus x3541 said 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 unto x413 me; Go 1980 z8800 and stand 5975 z8804 in the gate 8179 of the children 1121 of the people, 5971 whereby x834 the kings 4428 of Judah 3063 come in, 935 z8799 and by the which x834 they go out, 3318 z8799 and in all x3605 the gates 8179 of Jerusalem; 3389

 17:20 And say 559 z8804 unto x413 them, Hear 8085 z8798 ye the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 ye kings 4428 of Judah, 3063 and all x3605 Judah, 3063 and all x3605 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Jerusalem, 3389 that enter in 935 z8802 by these x428 gates: 8179

 17:21 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD; 3068 Take heed 8104 z8734 to yourselves, 5315 and bear 5375 z8799 no x408 burden 4853 on the sabbath 7676 day, 3117 nor bring y935 z8689 [it] in x935 by the gates 8179 of Jerusalem; 3389

 17:22 Neither x3808 carry forth 3318 z8686 a burden 4853 out of your houses 1004 x4480 on the sabbath 7676 day, 3117 neither x3808 do 6213 z8799 ye any x3605 work, 4399 but hallow 6942 z8765 ye x853 the sabbath 7676 day, 3117 as x834 I commanded 6680 z8765 your fathers. 1

 17:23 But they obeyed 8085 z8804 not, x3808 neither x3808 inclined 5186 z8689 x853 their ear, 241 but made x853 their neck 6203 stiff, 7185 z8686 that they might not x1115 hear, 8085 z8800 nor x1115 receive 3947 z8800 instruction. 4148

 17:24 And it shall come to pass, x1961 if x518 ye diligently y8085 z8800 hearken 8085 z8799 unto x413 me, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 to bring y935 z8687 in x935 no x1115 burden 4853 through the gates 8179 of this x2063 city 5892 on the sabbath 7676 day, 3117 but hallow 6942 z8763 x853 the sabbath 7676 day, 3117 to do 6213 z8800 no 1115 x3605 work 4399 therein;

 17:25 Then shall there enter 935 z8804 into the gates 8179 of this x2063 city 5892 kings 4428 and princes 8269 sitting 3427 z8802 upon x5921 the throne 3678 of David, 1732 riding 7392 z8802 in chariots 7393 and on horses, 5483 they, x1992 and their princes, 8269 the men 376 of Judah, 3063 and the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Jerusalem: 3389 and this x2063 city 5892 shall remain 3427 z8804 for ever. 5769

 17:26 And they shall come 935 z8804 from the cities 5892 x4480 of Judah, 3063 and from the places about 5439 x4480 Jerusalem, 3389 and from the land 776 x4480 of Benjamin, 1144 and from x4480 the plain, 8219 and from x4480 the mountains, 2022 and from x4480 the south, 5045 bringing 935 z8688 burnt offerings, 5930 and sacrifices, 2077 and meat offerings, 4503 and incense, 3828 and bringing 935 z8688 sacrifices of praise, 8426 unto the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

 17:27 But if x518 ye will not x3808 hearken 8085 z8799 unto x413 me to hallow 6942 z8763 x853 the sabbath 7676 day, 3117 and not x1115 to bear 5375 z8800 a burden, 4853 even entering x935 in y935 z8800 at the gates 8179 of Jerusalem 3389 on the sabbath 7676 day; 3117 then will I kindle 3341 z8689 a fire 784 in the gates 8179 thereof, and it shall devour 398 z8804 the palaces 759 of Jerusalem, 3389 and it shall not x3808 be quenched. 3518 z8799
