Jeremiah 7:21 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 A message came to me from the Lord. He said,

2 "Stand at the gate of my house. Announce my message to the people there. Say, " 'Listen to the Lord's message, all of you people of Judah. You always come through these gates to worship the Lord.

3 The God of Israel is speaking to you. He is the Lord who rules over all. He says, "Change the way you live and act. Then I will let you live in this place.

4 " ' "Do not trust in lies. Do not say, 'This is the temple of the Lord! This is the temple of the Lord! This is the temple of the Lord!'

5 " ' "You must really change the way you live and act. Treat each other fairly.

6 Do not treat outsiders or widows badly in this place. Do not take advantage of children whose fathers have died. Do not kill those who are not guilty of doing anything wrong. Do not worship other gods. That will only bring harm to you.

7 " ' "If you obey me, I will let you live in this place. It is the land I gave your people who lived long ago. It was promised to them for ever and ever.

8 " ' "But look! You are trusting in worthless lies.

9 " ' "You continue to steal and commit murder. You commit adultery and tell lies. You burn incense to Baal. You worship other gods you have not known anything about before.

10 " ' "Then you come and stand in front of me. You keep coming to this house where I have put my Name. You say, 'We are safe.' You think you are safe when you do so many things I hate.

11 My Name is in this house. But you have made it a den for robbers! I have been watching you!" announces the Lord.

12 " ' "Go now to the town of Shiloh. Go to the place where I first made a home for my Name. See what I did to it because of the evil things my people Israel were doing.

13 " ' "I spoke to you again and again," announces the Lord. "I warned you while you were doing all of those things. But you did not listen. I called out to you. But you did not answer.

14 So what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house where my Name is. It is the temple you trust in. It is the place I gave to you and your people of long ago.

15 " ' "But I will throw you out of my land. That is exactly what I did to the people of Ephraim. And they are your relatives." '

16 "Jeremiah, do not pray for those people. Do not make any appeal or request for them. Do not beg me. I will not listen to you.

17 "Don't you see what they are doing? They are worshiping other gods in the towns of Judah. They are offering sacrifices to them in the streets of Jerusalem.

18 The children go out and gather wood. The fathers light the fire. The women mix the dough. They make flat cakes of bread for the goddess who is called the Queen of Heaven. They pour out drink offerings to other gods. That makes me very angry.

19 "But am I the one they are hurting?" announces the Lord. "Aren't they only harming themselves? They should be ashamed of it."

20 So the Lord and King says, "I will pour out my burning anger on this place. It will strike people and animals alike. It will destroy the trees and the crops in the fields. It will burn, and no one will be able to put it out."

21 The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says, "Go ahead! Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices. Eat the meat yourselves!

22 When I brought your people out of Egypt, I spoke to them. But I did not just give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices.

23 I also gave them another command. I said, 'Obey me. Then I will be your God. And you will be my people. Live the way I command you to live. Then things will go well with you.'

24 "But they did not listen. They refused to pay any attention to me. Instead, they did what their stubborn and evil hearts wanted them to do. They went backward and not forward.

25 "Again and again I sent my servants the prophets to you. They came to you day after day. They prophesied from the time your people left Egypt until now.

26 "But the people did not listen. They refused to pay any attention to me. They were stubborn. They did more evil things than their people who lived before them.

27 "Jeremiah, when you tell them all of that, they will not listen to you. When you call out to them, they will not answer.

28 "So say to them, 'You are a nation that has not obeyed the Lord your God. You did not pay attention when you were corrected. Truth has died out. You do not tell the truth anymore.' "

29 The Lord says to the people of Jerusalem, "Cut off your hair. Throw it away. Sing a song of sadness on the bare hilltops. I am very angry with you. I have turned my back on you. I have deserted you.

30 "The people of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes," announces the Lord. "They have set up statues of their gods. They have worshiped them in the house where my Name is. They have made my house 'unclean.' I hate those statues.

31 The people have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom. There they worship other gods. And there they sacrifice their children in the fire. That is something I did not command. It did not even enter my mind.

32 "So watch out!" announces the Lord. "The days are coming when people will not call it Topheth anymore. And they will not call it the Valley of Ben Hinnom either. Instead, they will call it the Valley of Death. They will bury the dead bodies of some people in Topheth. But they will run out of room.

33 Then they will not be able to bury the bodies of other people there. So the bodies will become food for the birds of the air and the wild animals. And no one will scare them away.

34 "I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness. The voices of brides and grooms will not be heard anymore. There will not be any sounds of joy in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem. The land will become a desert.

1 The word ^H1697 ^D-NMS that ^H834 ^RPRO came ^H1961 ^VQQ3MS to ^H413 ^PREP Jeremiah ^H3414 from the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC ,

2 Stand ^H5975 ^VQI2MS in the gate ^H8179 of the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS \'s house ^H1004 ^CMS , and proclaim ^H7121 there ^H8033 this ^H2088 ^D-PMS word ^H1697 ^D-NMS , and say ^H559 , Hear ^H8085 ^VQI2MP the word ^H1697 ^NMS of the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , all ^H3605 ^NMS ye of Judah ^H3063 , that enter ^H935 in at these ^H428 ^D-DPRO-3MP gates ^H8179 to worship ^H7812 the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS .

3 Thus ^H3541 saith ^H559 ^VQQ3MS the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS of hosts ^H6635 , the God ^H430 ^CDP of Israel ^H3478 , Amend ^H3190 your ways ^H1870 and your doings ^H4611 , and I will cause you to dwell ^H7931 in this ^H2088 ^D-PMS place ^H4725 .

4 Trust ^H982 ye not ^H408 ^NPAR in ^H413 ^PREP lying ^H8267 words ^H1697 ^CMP , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , The temple ^H1964 ^CMS of the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , The temple ^H1964 ^CMS of the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , The temple ^H1964 ^CMS of the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , are these ^H1992 .

5 For ^H3588 ^CONJ if ^H518 ^PART ye throughly amend ^H3190 your ways ^H1870 and your doings ^H4611 ; if ^H518 ^PART ye throughly execute ^H6213 judgment ^H4941 ^NMS between ^H996 ^PREP a man ^H376 ^NMS and his neighbor ^H7453 ^CMS-3MS ;

6 If ye oppress ^H6231 not ^H3808 ^NADV the stranger ^H1616 ^NMS , the fatherless ^H3490 ^NMS , and the widow ^H490 ^W-NFS , and shed ^H8210 not ^H408 ^ADV innocent ^H5355 ^AMS blood ^H1818 in this ^H2088 ^D-PMS place ^H4725 , neither ^H3808 ^NADV walk ^H1980 after ^H310 other ^H312 ^AMP gods ^H430 ^EDP to your hurt ^H7451 :

7 Then will I cause you to dwell ^H7931 in this ^H2088 ^D-PMS place ^H4725 , in the land ^H776 ^B-NFS that ^H834 ^RPRO I gave ^H5414 ^VQQ1MS to your fathers ^H1 , forever ^H5769 ^NMS and ever ^H5704 ^W-PREP .

8 Behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , ye ^H859 ^PPRO-2MS trust ^H982 in ^H5921 ^PREP lying ^H8267 words ^H1697 ^CMP , that cannot ^H1115 ^L-NPAR profit ^H3276 .

9 Will ye steal ^H1589 , murder ^H7523 , and commit adultery ^H5003 , and swear ^H7650 falsely ^H8267 , and burn incense ^H6999 unto Baal ^H1168 , and walk ^H1980 after ^H310 ^PREP other ^H312 ^AMP gods ^H430 ^EDP whom ^H834 ^RPRO ye know ^H3045 not ^H3808 ^ADV ;

10 And come ^H935 and stand ^H5975 before ^H6440 ^L-CMP me in this ^H2088 ^D-PMS house ^H1004 , which ^H834 ^RPRO is called ^H7121 by ^H5921 ^PREP-3MS my name ^H8034 , and say ^H559 , We are delivered to do ^H5337 all ^H3605 ^NMS these ^H428 abominations ^H8441 ?

11 Is this ^H2088 ^D-PMS house ^H1004 ^D-NMS , which ^H834 ^RPRO is called ^H7121 by ^H5921 ^PREP-3MS my name ^H8034 , become ^H1961 ^VQQ3MS a den ^H4631 of robbers ^H6530 in your eyes ^H5869 ? Behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , even ^H1571 ^CONJ I ^H595 ^PPRO-1MS have seen ^H7200 ^VQQ1MS it , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS .

12 But ^H3588 ^CONJ go ^H1980 ^VQI2MP ye now ^H4994 ^IJEC unto ^H413 ^PREP my place ^H4725 which ^H834 ^RPRO was in Shiloh ^H7887 , where ^H834 ^RPRO I set ^H7931 my name ^H8034 at the first ^H7223 , and see ^H7200 what ^H834 ^RPRO I did ^H6213 ^VQQ1MS to it for ^M-CMP the wickedness ^H7451 ^CFS of my people ^H5971 Israel ^H3478 ^LMS .

13 And now ^H6528 , because ^H3282 ^ADV ye have done ^H6213 all ^H3605 ^NMS these ^H428 ^D-DPRO-3MP works ^H4639 , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , and I spoke ^H1696 unto ^H413 you , rising up early ^H7925 and speaking ^H1696 , but ye heard ^H8085 not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR ; and I called ^H7121 you , but ye answered ^H6030 not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR ;

14 Therefore will I do ^H6213 unto this house ^H1004 , which ^H834 ^RPRO is called ^H7121 by ^H5921 ^PREP-3MS my name ^H8034 , wherein ^H834 ^RPRO ye ^H859 ^PPRO-2MS trust ^H982 , and unto the place ^H4725 which ^H834 ^RPRO I gave ^H5414 ^VQQ1MS to you and to your fathers ^H1 , as ^H834 ^RPRO I have done ^H6213 ^VQQ1MS to Shiloh ^H7887 .

15 And I will cast ^H7993 you out of ^M-PREP my sight ^H6440 , as ^H834 ^K-RPRO I have cast out ^H7993 all ^H3605 ^NMS your brethren ^H251 , even the whole ^H3605 ^NMS seed ^H2233 ^NMS of Ephraim ^H669 .

16 Therefore pray ^H6419 not ^H408 ^NPAR thou ^H859 ^W-PPRO-2MS for ^H1157 ^PREP this ^H2088 ^D-PMS people ^H5971 , neither ^H408 ^ADV lift up ^H5375 ^VQY2MS cry ^H7440 nor prayer ^H8605 for ^H1157 them , neither ^H408 ^ADV make intercession ^H6293 to me : for ^H3588 ^CONJ I will not ^H369 hear ^H8085 thee .

17 Seest ^H7200 ^VQPMS thou not ^H369 what ^H4100 ^IGAT they ^H1992 ^PPRO-3MP do ^H6213 in the cities ^H5892 ^B-CFP of Judah ^H3063 and in the streets ^H2351 of Jerusalem ^H3389 ?

18 The children ^H1121 gather ^H3950 wood ^H6086 , and the fathers ^H1 kindle ^H1197 the fire ^H784 , and the women ^H802 knead ^H3888 their dough ^H1217 , to make ^H6213 ^L-VQFC cakes ^H3561 to the queen ^H4446 of heaven ^H8064 ^D-NMD , and to pour out ^H5258 drink offerings ^H5262 unto other ^H312 ^AMP gods ^H430 , that ^H4616 ^L-CONJ they may provoke me to anger ^H3707 .

19 Do they ^H1992 ^PPRO-3MP provoke me to anger ^H3707 ? saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS : do they not ^H3808 ^D-NPAR provoke themselves to ^H4616 ^L-CONJ the confusion ^H1322 of their own faces ^H6440 ?

20 Therefore ^H3651 ^L-ADV thus ^H3541 saith ^H559 ^VQQ3MS the Lord ^H136 ^EDS GOD ^H3069 ; Behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , mine anger ^H639 ^CMS-1MS and my fury ^H2534 shall be poured out ^H5413 upon ^H413 ^PREP this ^H2088 ^D-PMS place ^H4725 ^D-NMS , upon ^H5921 ^PREP man ^H120 ^D-NMS , and upon ^H5921 ^PREP beast ^H929 ^D-NFS , and upon ^H5921 ^PREP the trees ^H6086 ^NMS of the field ^H7704 ^D-NMS , and upon ^H5921 ^PREP the fruit ^H6529 ^NMS of the ground ^H127 ^D-NFS ; and it shall burn ^H1197 , and shall not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR be quenched ^H3518 .

21 Thus ^H3541 saith ^H559 ^VQQ3MS the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS of hosts ^H6635 , the God ^H430 ^CDP of Israel ^H3478 ; Put ^H5595 your burnt offerings ^H5930 unto ^H5921 ^PREP your sacrifices ^H2077 , and eat ^H398 flesh ^H1320 .

22 For ^H3588 ^CONJ I spoke ^H1696 not ^H3808 ^ADV unto your fathers ^H1 , nor ^H3808 ^W-NADV commanded ^H6680 them in the day ^H3117 ^B-NMS that I brought ^H3318 them out of the land ^H776 ^M-NFS of Egypt ^H4714 , concerning ^H5921 ^PREP burnt offerings ^H5930 ^NFS or sacrifices ^H2077 :

23 But ^H518 ^PART this ^H2088 ^D-PMS thing ^H1697 ^D-NMS commanded ^H6680 I them , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , Obey ^H8085 ^VQI2MP my voice ^H6963 , and I will be ^H1961 your God ^H430 ^L-NMP , and ye ^H859 ^W-PPRO-2MP shall be ^H1961 my people ^H5971 : and walk ^H1980 ye in all ^H3605 ^B-CMS the ways ^H1870 ^D-NMS that ^H834 ^RPRO I have commanded ^H6680 you , that ^H4616 ^L-CONJ it may be well ^H3190 unto you .

24 But they hearkened ^H8085 ^VQQ3MP not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR , nor ^H3808 ^W-NPAR inclined ^H5186 ^VHQ3MP their ear ^H241 ^CFS-3MP , but walked ^H1980 ^W-VQY3MP in the counsels ^H4156 ^B-NFP and in the imagination ^H8307 ^B-CFP of their evil ^H7451 ^D-AMS heart ^H3820 ^CMS-3MP , and went ^H1961 ^W-VQY3MP backward ^H268 ^L-NMS , and not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR forward ^H6440 ^L-NMP .

25 Since ^H4480 the day ^H3117 ^NUM-MS that ^H834 ^RPRO your fathers ^H1 came forth ^H3318 ^VQQ3MP out of the land ^H776 ^M-NFS of Egypt ^H4714 ^EFS unto ^H5704 ^PREP this ^H2088 ^D-PMS day ^H3117 ^NUM-MS I have even sent ^H7971 unto ^H413 you all ^H3605 ^NMS my servants ^H5650 the prophets ^H5030 , daily ^H3117 ^NMS rising up early ^H7925 and sending ^H7971 them :

26 Yet they hearkened ^H8085 ^VQQ3MP not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR unto ^H413 ^PREP-1MS me , nor ^H3808 ^W-NPAR inclined ^H5186 ^VHQ3MP their ear ^H241 ^CFS-3MP , but hardened ^H7185 their neck ^H6203 : they did worse ^H7489 than their fathers ^H1 ^M-CMP-3MP .

27 Therefore thou shalt speak ^H1696 all ^H3605 ^NMS these ^H428 ^D-DPRO-3MP words ^H1697 ^AMP unto ^H413 ^PREP-3MP them ; but they will not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR hearken ^H8085 ^VQY3MP to ^H413 ^PREP-2MS thee : thou shalt also call ^H7121 unto ^H413 ^PREP-3MP them ; but they will not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR answer ^H6030 thee .

28 But thou shalt say ^H559 unto ^H413 ^PREP-3MP them , This ^H2088 ^DPRO is a nation ^H1471 that ^H834 ^RPRO obeyeth ^H8085 ^VQQ3MP not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR the voice ^H6963 ^B-NMS of the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS their God ^H430 ^CMP-3MS , nor ^H3808 ^W-NPAR receiveth ^H3947 correction ^H4148 : truth ^H530 is perished ^H6 , and is cut off ^H3772 from their mouth ^H6310 .

29 Cut off ^H1494 thine hair ^H5145 , O Jerusalem , and cast it away ^H7993 , and take up ^H5375 a lamentation ^H7015 on ^H5921 ^PREP high places ^H8205 ; for ^H3588 ^CONJ the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS hath rejected ^H3988 and forsaken ^H5203 the generation ^H1755 of his wrath ^H5678 .

30 For ^H3588 ^CONJ the children ^H1121 ^CMP of Judah ^H3063 have done ^H6213 ^VQQ3MP evil ^H7451 in my sight ^H5869 , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS : they have set ^H7760 ^VQQ3MP their abominations ^H8251 in the house ^H1004 which ^H834 ^RPRO is called ^H7121 by ^H5921 ^PREP-3MS my name ^H8034 , to pollute ^H2930 it .

31 And they have built ^H1129 the high places ^H1116 of Tophet ^H8612 , which ^H834 ^RPRO is in the valley ^H1516 of the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Hinnom ^H2011 , to burn ^H8313 their sons ^H1121 and their daughters ^H1323 in the fire ^H784 ; which ^H834 ^RPRO I commanded ^H6680 them not ^H3808 ^NADV , neither ^H3808 ^W-NADV came ^H5927 ^VQQ3FS it into ^H5921 ^PREP my heart ^H3820 .

32 Therefore ^H3651 ^L-ADV , behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , the days ^H3117 ^NMP come ^H935 , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , that it shall no ^H3808 ^W-NPAR more ^H5750 ^ADV be called ^H559 Tophet ^H8612 , nor the valley ^H1516 of the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Hinnom ^H2011 , but ^H518 ^PART the valley ^H1516 of slaughter ^H2028 : for they shall bury ^H6912 in Tophet ^H8612 , till there be no ^H369 place ^H4725 .

33 And the carcasses ^H5038 of this ^H2088 ^D-PMS people ^H5971 shall be ^H1961 meat ^H3978 for the fowls ^H5775 of the heaven ^H8064 ^D-NMD , and for the beasts ^H929 of the earth ^H776 ^D-GFS ; and none ^H369 ^W-NPAR shall frighten them away ^H2729 .

34 Then will I cause to cease ^H7673 from the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063 , and from the streets ^H2351 of Jerusalem ^H3389 , the voice ^H6963 ^CMS of mirth ^H8342 , and the voice ^H6963 ^W-CMS of gladness ^H8057 , the voice ^H6963 ^CMS of the bridegroom ^H2860 , and the voice ^H6963 ^W-CMS of the bride ^H3618 : for ^H3588 ^CONJ the land ^H776 ^D-GFS shall be ^H1961 ^VQY3FS desolate ^H2723 .
