CHAPTER 17
Jeremiah 17:1
1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a
diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your
altars;
Jeremiah 17:2
2 Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green
trees upon the high hills.
Jeremiah 17:3
3 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures
to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.
Jeremiah 17:4
4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave
thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou
knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for
ever.
Jeremiah 17:5
5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh
his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. Jeremiah 17:6
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good
cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land
and not inhabited.
Jeremiah 17:7
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
Jeremiah 17:8
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her
roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be
green; and shall not be careful in the year  of drought,  neither shall cease 
from yielding  fruit.
Jeremiah 17:9
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know
it?
Jeremiah 17:10
10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man
according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. Jeremiah 17:11
11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth
riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his
end shall be a fool.
Jeremiah 17:12
12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
Jeremiah 17:13
13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they
that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken
the LORD, the fountain of living  waters. Jeremiah 17:14
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for
thou art my praise.
Jeremiah 17:15
15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.
Jeremiah 17:16
16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither
have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was
right before thee.
Jeremiah 17:17
17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil. Jeremiah 17:18
18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let
them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil,
and destroy them with double destruction. Jeremiah 17:19
19 Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the
people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and
in all the gates of Jerusalem; Jeremiah 17:20
20 And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all
Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
Jeremiah 17:21
21 Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the
sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; Jeremiah 17:22
22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither
do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
Jeremiah 17:23
23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff,
that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. Jeremiah 17:24
24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD,
to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but
hallow the sabbath day,  to do  no  work  therein; Jeremiah 17:25
25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting
upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their
princes, the men  of Judah,  and the inhabitants  of Jerusalem: and this city 
shall remain  for ever. Jeremiah 17:26
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about
Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the
mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and
meat offerings,  and incense,  and bringing  sacrifices of praise,  unto the
house  of the LORD.
Jeremiah 17:27
27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to
bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day;
then will I kindle a fire  in the gates  thereof, and it shall devour the
palaces  of Jerusalem,  and it shall not be quenched. CHAPTER 18
Jeremiah 18:1
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Jeremiah 18:2
2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear
my words.
Jeremiah 18:3
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the
wheels.
Jeremiah 18:4
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so
he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter  to make it.
Jeremiah 18:5
5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Jeremiah 18:6
6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD.
Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of
Israel.
Jeremiah 18:7
7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom,
to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; Jeremiah 18:8
8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will
repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. Jeremiah 18:9
9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a
kingdom, to build and to plant it;
Jeremiah 18:10
10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of
the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them. Jeremiah 18:11
11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and
devise a device against you: return  ye now every one  from his evil way,  and
make your ways  and your doings  good. Jeremiah 18:12
12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and
we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart. Jeremiah 18:13
13 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard
such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing. Jeremiah
18:14
14 Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the
field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be
forsaken?
Jeremiah 18:15
15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and
they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk
in paths, in a way not cast up; Jeremiah 18:16
16 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth
thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head. Jeremiah 18:17
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them
the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity. Jeremiah 18:18
18 Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the
law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word
from the prophet. Come,  and let us smite  him with the tongue,  and let us not
give heed  to any of his words. Jeremiah 18:19
19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with
me.
Jeremiah 18:20
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul.
Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy
wrath  from them.
Jeremiah 18:21
21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood
by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children,
and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men  be slain
 by the sword  in battle. Jeremiah 18:22
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly
upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
Jeremiah 18:23
23 Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not
their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be
overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time  of thine anger.
CHAPTER 19
Jeremiah 19:1
1 Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the
ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests; Jeremiah 19:2
2 And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of
the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee, Jeremiah
19:3
3 And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of
Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;  Behold, I will
bring  evil  upon this place,  the which whosoever heareth,  his ears shall
tingle.
Jeremiah 19:4
4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned
incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known,
nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood  of
innocents;
Jeremiah 19:5
5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire
for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither
came it into my mind:
Jeremiah 19:6
6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no
more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of
slaughter.
Jeremiah 19:7
7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I
will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of
them that seek their lives: and their carcases  will I give  to be meat  for
the fowls  of the heaven,  and for the beasts  of the earth. Jeremiah 19:8
8 And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth
thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
Jeremiah 19:9
9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their
daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege
and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek  their lives, 
shall straiten  them.
Jeremiah 19:10
10 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
Jeremiah 19:11
11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break
this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be
made whole again:  and they shall bury  them in Tophet,  till there be no place
 to bury.
Jeremiah 19:12
12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants
thereof, and even make this city as Tophet: Jeremiah 19:13
13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be
defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they
have burned incense unto all the host of heaven,  and have poured out  drink
offerings  unto other  gods. Jeremiah 19:14
14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy;
and he stood in the court of the LORD'S house; and said to all the people,
Jeremiah 19:15
15 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon
this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against
it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
CHAPTER 20
Jeremiah 20:1
1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the
house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things. Jeremiah 20:2
2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were
in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD. Jeremiah 20:3
3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of
the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name
Pashur, but Magormissabib.
Jeremiah 20:4
4 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to
all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine
eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand  of the king  of
Babylon,  and he shall carry them captive  into Babylon,  and shall slay  them
with the sword.
Jeremiah 20:5
5 Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours
thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the
kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil
them, and take  them, and carry  them to Babylon. Jeremiah 20:6
6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity:
and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried
there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
Jeremiah 20:7
7 O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I,
and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me. Jeremiah 20:8
8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word
of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily. Jeremiah 20:9
9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name.
But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was
weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. Jeremiah 20:10
10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and
we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying,
Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall
take  our revenge  on him.
Jeremiah 20:11
11 But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors
shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for
they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
Jeremiah 20:12
12 But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the
heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.
Jeremiah 20:13
13 Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of
the poor from the hand of evildoers. Jeremiah 20:14
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare
me be blessed.
Jeremiah 20:15
15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is
born unto thee; making him very glad. Jeremiah 20:16
16 And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented
not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
Jeremiah 20:17
17 Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my
grave, and her womb to be always great with me. Jeremiah 20:18
18 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my
days should be consumed with shame?
