CHAPTER 3
Jeremiah 3:1
1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another
man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted?
but thou hast played the harlot with many  lovers;  yet return again  to me,
saith  the LORD. Jeremiah 3:2
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been
lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the
wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms  and with thy
wickedness.
Jeremiah 3:3
3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter
rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. Jeremiah
3:4
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my
youth?
Jeremiah 3:5
5 Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou
hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest. Jeremiah 3:6
6 The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen
that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high
mountain and under  every green  tree,  and there hath played the harlot.
Jeremiah 3:7
7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she
returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it. Jeremiah 3:8
8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed
adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her
treacherous sister Judah feared  not, but went  and played the harlot  also.
Jeremiah 3:9
9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled
the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. Jeremiah 3:10
10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me
with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 3:11
11 And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself
more than treacherous Judah.
Jeremiah 3:12
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou
backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall
upon you: for I am merciful,  saith  the LORD,  and I will not keep  anger for
ever.
Jeremiah 3:13
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the
LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green
tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith  the LORD. Jeremiah 3:14
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and
I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to
Zion:
Jeremiah 3:15
15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you
with knowledge and understanding.
Jeremiah 3:16
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land,
in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant
of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember  it;
neither shall they visit  it; neither shall that be done  any more.
Jeremiah 3:17
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the
nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem:
neither shall they walk any more after the imagination  of their evil  heart.
Jeremiah 3:18
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and
they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have
given for an inheritance unto your fathers. Jeremiah 3:19
19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a
pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou
shalt call me, My father;  and shalt not turn away  from me. Jeremiah 3:20
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt
treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 3:21
21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the
children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten
the LORD their God.
Jeremiah 3:22
22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold,
we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God. Jeremiah 3:23
23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude
of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
Jeremiah 3:24
24 For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their
flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. Jeremiah 3:25
25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned
against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this
day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD  our God. CHAPTER 4
Jeremiah 4:1
1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou
wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.
Jeremiah 4:2
2 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in
righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall
they glory.
Jeremiah 4:3
3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your
fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. Jeremiah 4:4
4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart,
ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like
fire, and burn  that none can quench  it, because  of the evil  of your doings.
Jeremiah 4:5
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet
in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go 
into the defenced  cities. Jeremiah 4:6
6 Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from
the north, and a great destruction. Jeremiah 4:7
7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on
his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy
cities shall be laid waste,  without an inhabitant. Jeremiah 4:8
8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of
the LORD is not turned back from us. Jeremiah 4:9
9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the
king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be
astonished, and the prophets shall wonder. Jeremiah 4:10
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and
Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth  unto the
soul.
Jeremiah 4:11
11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of
the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan,
nor to cleanse,
Jeremiah 4:12
12 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give
sentence against them.
Jeremiah 4:13
13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a
whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
Jeremiah 4:14
14 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved.
How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee? Jeremiah 4:15
15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount
Ephraim.
Jeremiah 4:16
16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that
watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities
of Judah.
Jeremiah 4:17
17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath
been rebellious against me, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 4:18
18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy
wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
Jeremiah 4:19
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise
in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of
the trumpet, the alarm  of war. Jeremiah 4:20
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled:
suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment. Jeremiah 4:21
21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Jeremiah 4:22
22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children,
and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they
have no knowledge.
Jeremiah 4:23
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens,
and they had no light.
Jeremiah 4:24
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved
lightly.
Jeremiah 4:25
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were
fled.
Jeremiah 4:26
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities
thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
Jeremiah 4:27
27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I
not make a full end.
Jeremiah 4:28
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I
have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn
back from it.
Jeremiah 4:29
29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they
shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be
forsaken, and not a man dwell  therein. Jeremiah 4:30
30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself
with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou
rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy
lovers  will despise  thee, they will seek  thy life. Jeremiah 4:31
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her
that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that
bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe  is me now! for my
soul  is wearied  because of murderers. CHAPTER 5
Jeremiah 5:1
1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know,
and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any
that executeth judgment, that seeketh  the truth;  and I will pardon  it.
Jeremiah 5:2
2 And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely. Jeremiah 5:3
3 O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they
have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive
correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused 
to return.
Jeremiah 5:4
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not
the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God. Jeremiah 5:5
5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have
known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have
altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds. Jeremiah 5:6
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the
evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one
that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions 
are many,  and their backslidings  are increased. Jeremiah 5:7
7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by
them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed
adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
Jeremiah 5:8
8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his
neighbour's wife.
Jeremiah 5:9
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be
avenged on such a nation as this? Jeremiah 5:10
10 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her
battlements; for they are not the LORD'S. Jeremiah 5:11
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously
against me, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 5:12
12 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come
upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: Jeremiah 5:13
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall
it be done unto them.
Jeremiah 5:14
14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word,
behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it
shall devour  them.
Jeremiah 5:15
15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the
LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language 
thou knowest  not, neither understandest  what they say. Jeremiah 5:16
16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. Jeremiah 5:17
17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy
daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall
eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish  thy fenced cities, 
wherein thou  trustedst,  with the sword. Jeremiah 5:18
18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with
you.
Jeremiah 5:19
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our
God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have
forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers 
in a land  that is not yours. Jeremiah 5:20
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
Jeremiah 5:21
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes,
and see not; which have ears, and hear not: Jeremiah 5:22
22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which
have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it
cannot pass it: and though the waves  thereof toss  themselves, yet can they
not prevail;  though they roar,  yet can they not pass over  it? Jeremiah 5:23
23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted
and gone.
Jeremiah 5:24
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that
giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto
us the appointed weeks  of the harvest. Jeremiah 5:25
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden
good things from you.
Jeremiah 5:26
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth
snares; they set a trap, they catch men. Jeremiah 5:27
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore
they are become great, and waxen rich. Jeremiah 5:28
28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked:
they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and
the right of the needy do they not judge. Jeremiah 5:29
29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be
avenged on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah 5:30
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; Jeremiah 5:31
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and
my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
