"Judah's sin is engraved with an iron fool. inscribed with a that point. on the tablets of their hearts
Even their children remember their altars and Asherah poles beside the spreading trees and on the high hills
My mountain in the land and your wealth and all your treasures I will give away as plunder together with your high places. because of sin throughout your country.
Through your own fault you will lose the inheritance I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemues in a land you do not know for you have kindlted my anger, and it will burn forever."
This is what the LORD says; "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart thurns away from the LORD
He will be like a bush in the wastelands be will not see prosperity when it comes .He will dwell in the parched places of the desert in a salt land where no one lives.
"But bkessed is the man who thrusts in the LORD whose confidence is in him
He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes. its leaves fails to bear fruit."
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
"I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to what his deeds dserve."
Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay is the man who gains riches by unjust means. When his life is half gone, they will desert him, and in the end he will prove to be a fool/
A glorious throne, exalted from the beginnung, is the place of our sanctuary.
O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in thed ust because they have forsaken the LORD. the spring of living water
Heal me, O LORD and I will be healed save me and I will be saved. for you are then one I praise.
They keep saying to me,"Where is the word of the LORD? Let it now be fulfilled!
I have not run a away from being your shepherd, you know I have not desired the day of despair. What passes my lips is open before you.
Do not a terror to me. you are my refuge in the day of disaster/\.
Let my persecutors be put to shame, but keep me from shame. let them be terrified. but keep me from shame. let them be terrified, but keep me from terror. Bring on them the day of disaster' destory them with double destruction.
This is what the LORD said to me,"Go and stand at theg ate of the people through which the kings of Judah go in and out.s tand also at all the other gates of Jerusalem.
Say to them, Hear the word of the LORD. O kings of Judah and all people of Judah and everyone living in Jerusalem who come throughj these gates.
This is waht the LORD says: Be careful not to carry a load on the Sabbath day or bring it through the gates of Jerusalem
Do on the bring bath, but keep the Sabbath day holu, as I commanded your forefathers.
Yet they did not listen or pay attention they were stiff-necked and would not listen or respond to discipline
But if you are careful to obey me, declares the LORD. and bring no load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath, but keep the Sabbath day hoily by not doing any work on it,
then kings who sit on David's throne will come through the gates of this city with their officials. They and their officials will come riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by the men of Judah and those accompanied by the men of Judah and those living in Jerusalem. and this city will be inhabited forever.
People will come from Jerusalem, from the territory the villages around Jerusalem ,from the territory of Benjamin and teh western foothils, from the hill country and the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices. grain offerings. incense and thank offerings to tbhe house of the LORD.
But if you do not obey me to keep the Sabbath day holy by not carrying any load as you come througjh tje gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle an unquenchable fire in theg ates of Jerusalem that will consume her fortresses,"
Jeremiah 18
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD
"Go down to the potter's house and there I will give you message;
So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel.
But the pot he was sshaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter forned it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.
Then the word of the LORD came to me
"O house of Israel , can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the LORD,"Lik clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O House of Israel
If at any time I amnounce that a nation or kingdom is tobe uprooted. torn down and destroyed,
and if that nation I warned repents of its evil ,then I will relent and not inclict on it the sisaster I had planed.
And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted.
and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.
"Now therefore say to the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, "This is what for you and devising a plan against you, So turn from your evil ways eachj one of you.
But they will reply, It 's no use, We will continue with our own plans each of us will follow the stubbormners of his evil heart.
"Therefore this is what the LORD says;"Inquuire among the nations. Who has ever heard anything like this? A most horrible thing has been done by Virgin Israel.
Does the snow of Lebanon ever vanish from its rocky slopes? Do its cool waters from distant sources ever cease to flow?
Yet my people have forgotten me, they burn incense to worthless idols which made them stumble in their ways and in the ancient paths and on roads not built up.
Their land will be laid waste. an object of lasting scorn all pass by will appalled and will shake their heads.
Like a wind from the east I will scatter them before their enemies' I will scatter them before their enemies; I will show them my back and not my face in the day of their disaster."
They said,"Come let's make plans against Jeremiah for the teaching of the law by the wise nor the word from the prophets So come, let's attack him with our tongues and pay no attention toa nything he says."
Listen to me. O LORD, hear what my accusers are saying
Should good be repaid with evil?Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember that I stood before you to turn your wrath away from them.
So give their children over to famine hand them over to the power of the sword. Let their wives be made childrens and widows. their young men stain by the sword in battl.
Let a cry be heard from their houses when you suddenly bring invaders against them. for they have dug a pit to capture me and have hidden snares for my feet.
But you know O LORD. all their plots to kill me. Do not forgive their crimes or blot out their sins from your sight. Let them be overthrown before you: deal with them in the time of your anger.
