CHAPTER 21
Jeremiah 21:1
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto
him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, 
saying,
Jeremiah 21:2
2 Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon
maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to
all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us. Jeremiah 21:3
3 Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah: Jeremiah 21:4
4 Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of
war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and
against the Chaldeans, which besiege  you without  the walls,  and I will
assemble  them into the midst  of this city. Jeremiah 21:5
5 And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a
strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath. Jeremiah 21:6
6 And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall
die of a great pestilence.
Jeremiah 21:7
7 And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his
servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the
pestilence, from the sword,  and from the famine,  into the hand  of
Nebuchadrezzar  king  of Babylon,  and into the hand  of their enemies,  and
into the hand  of those that seek  their life:  and he shall smite  them with
the edge  of the sword;  he shall not spare  them, neither have pity, nor have
mercy.
Jeremiah 21:8
8 And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set
before you the way of life, and the way of death. Jeremiah 21:9
9 He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and
by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that
besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey. Jeremiah
21:10
10 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith
the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall
burn it with fire.
Jeremiah 21:11
11 And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the
LORD;
Jeremiah 21:12
12 O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and
deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go
out  like fire,  and burn  that none can quench  it, because  of the evil  of
your doings.
Jeremiah 21:13
13 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the
plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall
enter into our habitations?
Jeremiah 21:14
14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD:
and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things
round about it.
CHAPTER 22
Jeremiah 22:1
1 Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak
there this word,
Jeremiah 22:2
2 And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the
throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these
gates:
Jeremiah 22:3
3 Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the
spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to
the stranger, the fatherless,  nor the widow,  neither shed innocent  blood  in
this place.
Jeremiah 22:4
4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of
this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on
horses,  he, and his servants,  and his people. Jeremiah 22:5
5 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that
this house shall become a desolation. Jeremiah 22:6
6 For thus saith the LORD unto the king's house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto
me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and
cities which are not inhabited. Jeremiah 22:7
7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and
they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire. Jeremiah
22:8
8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his
neighbour, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city? Jeremiah
22:9
9 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD
their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them. Jeremiah 22:10
10 Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that
goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country. Jeremiah
22:11
11 For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah,
which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place;
 He shall not return  thither any more: Jeremiah 22:12
12 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall
see this land no more.
Jeremiah 22:13
13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by
wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for
his work;
Jeremiah 22:14
14 That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him
out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion. Jeremiah
22:15
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father
eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
Jeremiah 22:16
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was
not this to know me? saith the LORD. Jeremiah 22:17
17 But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to
shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it. Jeremiah
22:18
18 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of
Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister!
they shall not lament  for him, saying, Ah  lord!  or, Ah  his glory!
Jeremiah 22:19
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond
the gates of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 22:20
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the
passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed. Jeremiah 22:21
21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This
hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice. Jeremiah
22:22
22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into
captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy
wickedness.
Jeremiah 22:23
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious
shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
Jeremiah 22:24
24 As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah
were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence; Jeremiah
22:25
25 And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the
hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king
of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. Jeremiah 22:26
26 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another
country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die. Jeremiah 22:27
27 But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not
return.
Jeremiah 22:28
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no
pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a
land which they know  not?
Jeremiah 22:29
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. Jeremiah 22:30
30 Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not
prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the
throne  of David,  and ruling  any more in Judah. CHAPTER 23
Jeremiah 23:1
1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!
saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 23:2
2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my
people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited
them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil  of your doings,  saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 23:3
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have
driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be
fruitful and increase.
Jeremiah 23:4
4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall
fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 23:5
5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a
righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute
judgment  and justice  in the earth. Jeremiah 23:6
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is
his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:7
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more
say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land
of Egypt;
Jeremiah 23:8
8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of
Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven
them; and they shall dwell in their own land. Jeremiah 23:9
9 Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I
am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the
LORD,  and because of the words  of his holiness. Jeremiah 23:10
10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land
mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course
is evil, and their force  is not right. Jeremiah 23:11
11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their
wickedness, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 23:12
12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness:
they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them,
even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 23:13
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal,
and caused my people Israel to err. Jeremiah 23:14
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit
adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that
none doth return from his wickedness:  they are all of them unto me as Sodom, 
and the inhabitants  thereof as Gomorrah. Jeremiah 23:15
15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I
will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from
the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth  into all the land.
Jeremiah 23:16
16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets
that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own
heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. Jeremiah 23:17
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have
peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his
own heart, No evil shall come upon you. Jeremiah 23:18
18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard
his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? Jeremiah 23:19
19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous
whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. Jeremiah 23:20
20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he
have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider
it perfectly.
Jeremiah 23:21
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet
they prophesied.
Jeremiah 23:22
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my
words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil
of their doings.
Jeremiah 23:23
23 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Jeremiah 23:24
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the
LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. Jeremiah 23:25
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying,
I have dreamed, I have dreamed. Jeremiah 23:26
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea,
they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Jeremiah 23:27
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they
tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for
Baal.
Jeremiah 23:28
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my
word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith
the LORD.
Jeremiah 23:29
29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that
breaketh the rock in pieces?
Jeremiah 23:30
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my
words every one from his neighbour. Jeremiah 23:31
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues,
and say, He saith.
Jeremiah 23:32
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do
tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness;
yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit  this
people  at all,  saith  the LORD. Jeremiah 23:33
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying,
What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I
will even forsake you, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 23:34
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The
burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house. Jeremiah 23:35
35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother,
What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken? Jeremiah 23:36
36 And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word
shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the
LORD of hosts our God.
Jeremiah 23:37
37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and,
What hath the LORD spoken?
Jeremiah 23:38
38 But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD;
Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you,
saying, Ye shall not say,  The burden  of the LORD; Jeremiah 23:39
39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake
you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my
presence:
Jeremiah 23:40
40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame,
which shall not be forgotten.
