Jeremiah 6

1 The enemies, sent against Judah, 4 encourage themselves. 6 God setteth them on work because of their sins. 9 The prophet lamenteth the judgments of God because of their sins. 18 He proclaimeth God's wrath. 26 He calleth the people to mourn for the judgment on their sins.

 6:1 ¶ O ye children 1121 of Benjamin, 1144 gather yourselves to flee 5756 z8685 out of the midst 7130 x4480 of Jerusalem, 3389 and blow 8628 z8798 the trumpet 7782 in Tekoa, 8620 and set up 5375 z8798 a sign y4864 of fire x4864 in x5921 Beth-haccerem: 1021 for x3588 evil 7451 appeareth 8259 z8738 out of the north, 6828 x4480 and great 1419 destruction. 7667

 6:2 I have likened y1820 z8804 x1819 the daughter 1323 of Zion 6726 to a comely y5116 x5000 and delicate 6026 z8794 [woman].

 6:3 The shepherds 7462 z8802 with their flocks 5739 shall come 935 z8799 unto x413 her; they shall pitch 8628 z8804 [their] tents 168 against x5921 her round about; 5439 they shall feed 7462 z8804 every one 376 in x854 his place. 3027

 6:4 Prepare 6942 z8761 ye war 4421 against x5921 her; arise, 6965 z8798 and let us go up 5927 z8799 at noon. 6672 Woe 188 unto us! for x3588 the day 3117 goeth away, 6437 z8804 for x3588 the shadows 6752 of the evening 6153 are stretched out. 5186 z8735

 6:5 Arise, 6965 z8798 and let us go 5927 z8799 by night, 3915 and let us destroy 7843 z8686 her palaces. 759

 6:6 ¶ For x3588 thus x3541 hath the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 said, 559 z8804 Hew ye down 3772 z8798 trees, 6097 and cast 8210 z8798 a mount 5550 against x5921 Jerusalem: 3389 this x1931 [is] the city 5892 to be visited; 6485 z8717 she [is] wholly x3605 oppression 6233 in the midst 7130 of her.

 6:7 As a fountain 953 casteth out 6979 z8687 her waters, 4325 so x3651 she casteth x6979 out y6979 z8689 her wickedness: 7451 violence 2555 and spoil 7701 is heard 8085 z8735 in her; before x5921 x6440 me y6440 continually 8548 [is] grief 2483 and wounds. 4347

 6:8 Be thou instructed, 3256 z8734 O Jerusalem, 3389 lest x6435 my soul 5315 depart 3363 z8799 from x4480 thee; lest x6435 I make 7760 z8799 thee desolate, 8077 a land 776 not x3808 inhabited. 3427 z8738

 6:9 ¶ Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 They shall throughly y5953 z8780 glean 5953 z8779 the remnant 7611 of Israel 3478 as a vine: 1612 turn back 7725 z8685 thine hand 3027 as a grape gatherer 1219 z8802 into x5921 the baskets. 5552

 6:10 To x5921 whom x4310 shall I speak, 1696 z8762 and give warning, 5749 z8686 that they may hear? 8085 z8799 behold, x2009 their ear 241 [is] uncircumcised, 6189 and they cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 hearken: 7181 z8687 behold, x2009 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 is x1961 unto them a reproach; 2781 they have no x3808 delight 2654 z8799 in it.

 6:11 Therefore I am full 4392 of x854 the fury 2534 of the LORD; 3068 I am weary 3811 z8738 with holding x3557 in: y3557 z8687 I will pour it out 8210 z8800 upon x5921 the children 5768 abroad, 2351 and upon x5921 the assembly 5475 of young men 970 together: 3162 for x3588 even x1571 the husband 376 with x5973 the wife 802 shall be taken, 3920 z8735 the aged 2205 with x5973 [him that is] full 4390 z8804 of days. 3117

 6:12 And their houses 1004 shall be turned 5437 z8738 unto others, 312 [with their] fields 7704 and wives 802 together: 3162 for x3588 I will stretch out 5186 z8686 x853 my hand 3027 upon x5921 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the land, 776 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 6:13 For x3588 from the least 6996 x4480 of them even unto x5704 the greatest 1419 of them every one x3605 [is] given y1214 z8802 to x1214 covetousness; 1215 and from the prophet 5030 x4480 even unto x5704 the priest 3548 every one x3605 dealeth 6213 z8802 falsely. 8267

 6:14 They have healed 7495 z8762 also x853 the hurt 7667 [of the daughter] y1323 z8676 of my people 5971 slightly, 7043 z8738 x5921 saying, 559 z8800 Peace, 7965 peace; 7965 when [there is] no x369 peace. 7965

 6:15 Were they ashamed y3001 z8689 x954 when x3588 they had committed 6213 z8804 abomination? 8441 nay, 1571 they were not x3808 at all y954 z8800 ashamed, 954 z8799 neither y1571 x3808 could 3045 z8804 they blush: 3637 z8687 therefore x3651 they shall fall 5307 z8799 among them that fall: 5307 z8802 at the time 6256 [that] I visit 6485 z8804 them they shall be cast down, 3782 z8735 saith 559 z8804 the LORD. 3068

 6:16 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 Stand 5975 z8798 ye in x5921 the ways, 1870 and see, 7200 z8799 and ask 7592 z8798 for the old 5769 paths, 5410 where x335 x2088 [is] the good 2896 way, 1870 and walk y3212 z8799 x1980 therein, and ye shall find 4672 z8798 rest 4771 for your souls. 5315 But they said, 559 z8799 We will not x3808 walk y3212 z8798 x1980 [therein].

 6:17 Also I set 6965 z8689 watchmen 6822 z8802 over x5921 you, [saying], Hearken 7181 z8685 to the sound 6963 of the trumpet. 7782 But they said, 559 z8799 We will not x3808 hearken. 7181 z8686

 6:18 ¶ Therefore x3651 hear, 8085 z8798 ye nations, 1471 and know, 3045 z8798 O congregation, 5712 x853 what x834 [is] among them.

 6:19 Hear, 8085 z8798 O earth: 776 behold, x2009 I x595 will bring 935 z8688 evil 7451 upon x413 this x2088 people, 5971 [even] the fruit 6529 of their thoughts, 4284 because x3588 they have not x3808 hearkened 7181 z8689 unto x5921 my words, 1697 nor to my law, 8451 but rejected 3988 z8799 it.

 6:20 To what x4100 purpose x2088 cometh 935 z8799 there to me incense 3828 from Sheba, 7614 x4480 and the sweet 2896 cane 7070 from a far 4801 country? 776 x4480 your burnt offerings 5930 [are] not x3808 acceptable, 7522 nor x3808 your sacrifices 2077 sweet 6149 z8804 unto me.

 6:21 Therefore x3651 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 Behold, x2009 I will lay 5414 z8802 stumblingblocks 4383 before x413 this x2088 people, 5971 and the fathers 1 and the sons 1121 together 3162 shall fall 3782 z8804 upon them; the neighbor 7934 and his friend 7453 shall perish. 6 z8804

 6:22 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 Behold, x2009 a people 5971 cometh 935 z8802 from the north 6828 country, 776 x4480 and a great 1419 nation 1471 shall be raised 5782 z8735 from the sides 3411 x4480 of the earth. 776

 6:23 They shall lay hold 2388 z8686 on bow 7198 and spear; 3591 they x1931 [are] cruel, 394 and have no x3808 mercy; 7355 z8762 their voice 6963 roareth 1993 z8799 like the sea; 3220 and they ride 7392 z8799 upon x5921 horses, 5483 set in array 6186 z8803 as men 376 for war 4421 against x5921 thee, O daughter 1323 of Zion. 6726

 6:24 We have heard 8085 z8804 x853 the fame 8089 thereof: our hands 3027 wax feeble: 7503 z8804 anguish 6869 hath taken hold 2388 z8689 of us, [and] pain, 2427 as of a woman in travail. 3205 z8802

 6:25 Go not forth 3318 z8799 x408 into the field, 7704 nor x408 walk y3212 z8799 x1980 by the way; 1870 for x3588 the sword 2719 of the enemy 341 z8802 [and] fear 4032 [is] on every side. 5439 x4480

 6:26 ¶ O daughter 1323 of my people, 5971 gird 2296 z8798 [thee] with sackcloth, 8242 and wallow y6428 z8690 thyself x6428 in ashes: 665 make 6213 z8798 thee mourning, 60 [as for] an only son, 3173 most bitter 8563 lamentation: 4553 for x3588 the spoiler 7703 z8802 shall suddenly 6597 come 935 z8799 upon x5921 us.

 6:27 I have set 5414 z8804 thee [for] a tower 969 [and] a fortress 4013 among my people, 5971 that thou mayest know 3045 z8799 and try 974 z8804 x853 their way. 1870

 6:28 They [are] all x3605 grievous 5493 z8802 revolters, 5637 z8802 walking 1980 z8802 with slanders: 7400 [they are] brass 5178 and iron; 1270 they x1992 [are] all x3605 corrupters. 7843 z8688

 6:29 The bellows 4647 are burned, 2787 z8738 the lead 5777 is consumed 8552 z8804 of the fire; 784 y800 x4480 the founder 6884 z8800 melteth 6884 z8804 in vain: 7723 for the wicked 7451 are not x3808 plucked away. 5423 z8738

 6:30 Reprobate 3988 z8737 silver 3701 shall [men] call 7121 z8804 them, because x3588 the LORD 3068 hath rejected 3988 z8804 them.
