"At that time, declares the LORD, the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones of the priests and prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves.
They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground;
Wherever I banish them. all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the LORD Almighty."
"Say to them, "This is what the LORD says: "When en fall down, do they not get up? When a man turns away, does he not return
Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit they refuse to return?
I have listened attentively, nut theu do not say what is right. No one repents of his wicjedness,s aying,"What have I done? Each pursues his own course like a horse charging into battle
Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration, But my people do not know the requirements of the LORD.
"How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the king pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?
The wise will be put to sjame, they will be dismayed and trapped, Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what kind of wisdom do they have?
Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners.From the least to the greatest, allare greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike.
They dress the wound of my people as though if were not serious,"Peacem peace," they say, when there is np peace.
Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even knpw how to blush, So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are, punished. says the LORD,
"I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD; There will ne mo grapes on the vine, There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them.
"Why are we sitting here? Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities and perishj there! For the LORD our God has coomed us to perish, and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against him.
We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there was only terror.
The snorting of the enemy;s horses, is heard from Dan, at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there."
"See I will send venomous snakes among you, vipes thjat cannot be charmed, and they will nite you," declares the LORD.
O my Comforter in sorrow, my heart is faint within me.
Listen to the cry of my people from a land far away:"Is the LORD not in Zion? Is her King no longer there?" Why have they provoked me to anger with their images, with their worthless foreign idols?"
"The harvest is post the summer has ended, and we are not saved,"
Since my people are crushed, I am crushed; I mourn, and horror grips me.
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the wound of my people?
Jeremiah 9
Oh, that my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would weep day and night for the slain of my people.
Oh, that I had in the desert a lodging place for travelers so that I might leave my people and go away from them; for they are all adulterers, a crowd of unfaithful people.
"They make ready their tongue like a bow, to shoot lies, it is not by bruth that they triumlh in the land, They go from one sin to another they do not acknowledge me," declares the LORD.
Beware of your friends do not trust your brothers, For every brother is a deceiver, and every friend a slanderer.
Friend deceives friend and no one speaks the truth. They have laught their tongues to lie; they weary thrmselves with sinning
You live in the midst of deception, in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me declares the LORD.
Therefore this is what the LORD Almighty says;"See ,I will refine and test them, for I will refine can I do because of the sin of my people?
Their tongue is a deadly arrow.,it speals with deceit. With his mouth cach speaks cordially to his neighbor but in his heart he sets a trap for him.
Should I not punish them for this>" declares the LORD,"Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?"
I will weep and wall for the mountains and take up a lament concerning thed esert pasture. They are desolate and untraveled, and the lwing of cattle is not heard. The birds of thea ir have fled and gthe animals arfe gone.
"I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals, and I will lay waste the towns of Judah so no one can live there.
When man is wise enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the LORD and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no one can cross>
The LORD said,"It is because they have not obeyed me or followed my law
Instead they have followed the Baals, as their fathers tanght them."
Therefore , this is what the LORD Almighty the God of Israel, says." See, I will make this people eat bitter food and drink poisoned water
I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor theur fathers have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have destroyed them,"
This is what the LORD Almighty says,"Conside now! Call for thew ailing women to come, send for the most skillful of them
Let them come quickly and wail over us till our eyes overflow with tears and water streams from our euelids.
The sound of wailing is heard from Zion. How great is our shame! We must leave our land because our houses are in ruins."
Now, O women, hear the word of the LORD open your ears to the words of his moputh. Teach your daughters how to wail, teach one another a lament.
Death has climbed in through our windows and has entered our fortresses; it has cut off the children from the streets and the young men from the public sqyares.
Say, "This is what the LORD declares. The dead bodies of men will lie like refuse on the open field. like cut grain behind the reaper, with no one to gather them."
This is what the LORD says;"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast sbout of his riches,
but let him who boasts boast about this; that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight declares the LORD.
"The days are coming," declares the LORD,"when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh-
Egypt Judah, Edom, Ammon. Moah and all who live in the desert in dislant places For all these nations are really uncircumcised, and even the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart,"
Jeremiah 10
Hear what the LORD says to you. O house of Israel.
This is what the LORD says."Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrifled by signs in teh sky, though the nations are terrigled by them.
For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craffsman shapes it with his chised.
They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it withj silver and gold. they fasten it with hammer and nails, so it will not totter.
Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, their idols cannot speak. they must be carried because they cannot speak, they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them, they can do no harm nor can they do any good."
No one is like you, O LORD, you are great, and your name is mighty in power.
Who should not revere you, O King of the nations? This is your due. Among all the wise men of the nations and in all their kingdoms,there is no one like you.
They are all senseless and foolish, they are taught by worthless wooden idols
Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz, What the craftsman and goldsmith have made is then dressed in blue and purple all made by skilled workers.
But the LORD is the true God. he is the living God. the eternal king. When he is angry, the earth trembles, the nations cannot endure his wrath.
"Tell them this,"There gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish from thee arth and from under the heavens"
But God made the earth by his power, he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding
When he thunders the waters in the heavens roar he makes cluds rise fronm the ends of the earth He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehoiuses.
I veryone is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by hisn idols. His images are a fraud; they have no breath in them.
They are worthless, the objects of mockery. when their judgement comes ,they will perish.
He who is the Maker of all things for he is the Maker of all things, including Israel, the tribe of his inheritance the LORD Almighty is his name.
Gather up your belonging to leave the land, you who live under siege
For this is what the LORD says: "At this time I will hurl out those who live in this land; I will bring distress on them so that they may be captured."
Woe to me because of my injury! My wound is inccurable! Yet I said to mtself."This is my sickness , and I must endure it,"
My tent is destroyed; all its ropes are snapped. My sons are gone from me and are no more, no one is left now to pitch my tent or to set up my shelter.
The shepherds are senseless and do not inquore of the LORD, so they do not prosper and all their flock is scattered.
Listen! The report us coming a great commotion from the land of the north! It will make the towns of Judah desolate a haunt of jackals.
I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps
Correct me, LORD , but only with justice- not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing
Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowlege you, on the peoples who do not call on your name, For they peoples who do not call on your name, For they ahve devoured Jacob, they have devoured him cpmpletely and destroyed his homeland.
