Jeremiah, starting at chapter 16
{16:1} The word of the LORD came also to me, saying, {16:2} You
shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in
this place. {16:3} For thus says the LORD concerning the sons and
concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning
their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became
their father in this land: {16:4} They shall die grievous deaths: they
shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as
dung on the surface of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the
sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the
birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth. {16:5} For thus
says the LORD, Don't enter into the house of mourning, neither go to
lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this
people, says the LORD, even loving kindness and tender mercies. {16:6}
Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried,
neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make
themselves bald for them; {16:7} neither shall men break bread for
them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give
them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their
mother. {16:8} You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with
them, to eat and to drink. {16:9} For thus says the LORD of Hosts, the
God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before
your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of
gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
{16:10} It shall happen, when you shall show this people all these
words, and they shall tell you, Why has the LORD pronounced all this
great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin
that we have committed against the LORD our God? {16:11} Then you
shall tell them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, says the LORD,
and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have
worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
{16:12} and you have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold,
you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that
you don't listen to me: {16:13} therefore will I cast you forth out of
this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your
fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night; for I
will show you no favor. {16:14} Therefore behold, the days come, says
the LORD, that it shall no more be said, As the LORD lives, who
brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; {16:15}
but, As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the
land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven
them. I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their
fathers. {16:16} Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says the
LORD, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many
hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every
hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks. {16:17} For my eyes are on
all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, neither is their
iniquity concealed from my eyes. {16:18} First I will recompense their
iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with
the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my
inheritance with their abominations. {16:19} LORD, my strength, and my
stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you shall the
nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers
have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is
no profit. {16:20} Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no
gods? {16:21} Therefore behold, I will cause them to know, this once
will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know
that my name is the LORD.
{17:1} The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the
point of a diamond: it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and
on the horns of your altars; {17:2} while their children remember
their altars and their Asherim by the green trees on the high hills.
{17:3} My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all
your treasures for a spoil, and your high places, because of sin,
throughout all your borders. {17:4} You, even of yourself, shall
discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you
to serve your enemies in the land which you don't know: for you have
kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever. {17:5} Thus says
the LORD: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his
arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD. {17:6} For he shall be
like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but
shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and
not inhabited. {17:7} Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and
whose trust the LORD

deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they

voice of the bride. {16:10} It shall happen, when you shall show this
people all these words, and they shall tell you, Why has the LORD
pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or
what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?

me, says the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served
them, and have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept
my law; {16:12} and you have done evil more than your fathers; for,
behold, you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart,
so that you don't listen to me: {16:13} therefore will I cast you
forth out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither
you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and
night; for I will show you no favor. {16:14} Therefore, behold, the
days come, says the LORD, that it shall no more be said, As the LORD
lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
{16:15} but, As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel

driven them. I will bring them again into their land that I gave to

are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, neither is
their iniquity concealed from my eyes. {16:18} First I will recompense
their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my
land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my
inheritance with their abominations. {16:19} LORD, my strength, and my
stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you shall the
nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers
have inherited nothing but lies, [even] vanity and things in which
there is no profit. {16:20} Shall a man make to himself gods, which

discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you
to serve your enemies in the land which you don't know: for you have
kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever. {17:5} Thus says
the LORD: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his
arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD. {17:6} For he shall be
like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but
shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and
not inhabited. {17:7} Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and

{16:1} The word of the LORD came also to me, saying, {16:2} You
shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in
this place. {16:3} For thus says the LORD concerning the sons and
concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning
their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became
the father of them in this land: {16:4} They shall die grievous
deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they
shall be as dung on the surface of the ground; and they shall be
consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be
food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth.
{16:5} For thus says the LORD, Don't enter into the house of mourning,
neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my
peace from this people, says the LORD, even loving kindness and tender
mercies. {16:6} Both great and small shall die in this land; they
shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut
themselves, nor make themselves bald for them; {16:7} neither shall
men break [bread] for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead;
neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their
father or for their mother. {16:8} You shall not go into the house of
feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink. {16:9} For thus says
the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease
out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of
mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the
voice of the bride. {16:10} It shall happen, when you shall show this
people all these words, and they shall tell you, Why has the LORD
pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or
what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?
{16:11} Then you shall tell them, Because your fathers have forsaken
me, says the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served
them, and have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept
my law; {16:12} and you have done evil more than your fathers; for,
behold, you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart,
so that you don't listen to me: {16:13} therefore will I cast you
forth out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither
you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and
night; for I will show you no favor. {16:14} Therefore, behold, the
days come, says the LORD, that it shall no more be said, As the LORD
lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
{16:15} but, As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel
from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had
driven them. I will bring them again into their land that I gave to
their fathers. {16:16} Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says
the LORD, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for
many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from
every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks. {16:17} For my eyes
are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, neither is
their iniquity concealed from my eyes. {16:18} First I will recompense
their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my
land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my
inheritance with their abominations. {16:19} LORD, my strength, and my
stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you shall the
nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers
have inherited nothing but lies, [even] vanity and things in which
there is no profit. {16:20} Shall a man make to himself gods, which
yet are no gods? {16:21} Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know,
this once will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they
shall know that my name is the LORD.
{17:1} The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, [and] with
the point of a diamond: it is engraved on the tablet of their heart,
and on the horns of your altars; {17:2} while their children remember
their altars and their Asherim by the green trees on the high hills.
{17:3} My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all
your treasures for a spoil, [and] your high places, because of sin,
throughout all your borders. {17:4} You, even of yourself, shall
discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you
to serve your enemies in the land which you don't know: for you have
kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever. {17:5} Thus says
the LORD: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his
