Jeremiah 7:15 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 "Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all you men of Judah who enter these gates to worship the LORD.
3 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will let you dwell in this place.
4 Do not trust in these deceptive words: `This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.'
5 "For if you truly amend your ways and your doings, if you truly execute justice one with another,
6 if you do not oppress the alien, the fatherless or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own hurt,
7 then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers for ever.
8 "Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail.
9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known,
10 and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, `We are delivered!' -- only to go on doing all these abominations?
11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, says the LORD.
12 Go now to my place that was in Shiloh, where I made my name dwell at first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 And now, because you have done all these things, says the LORD, and when I spoke to you persistently you did not listen, and when I called you, you did not answer,
14 therefore I will do to the house which is called by my name, and in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast out all your kinsmen, all the offspring of Ephraim.
16 "As for you, do not pray for this people, or lift up cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with me, for I do not hear you.
17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 The children gather wood, the fathers kindle fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
19 Is it I whom they provoke? says the LORD. Is it not themselves, to their own confusion?
20 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, my anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, upon man and beast, upon the trees of the field and the fruit of the ground; it will burn and not be quenched."
21 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
22 For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.
23 But this command I gave them, `Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.'
24 But they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and the stubbornness of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward.
25 From the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after day;
26 yet they did not listen to me, or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.
27 "So you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall call to them, but they will not answer you.
28 And you shall say to them, `This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the LORD their God, and did not accept discipline; truth has perished; it is cut off from their lips.
29 Cut off your hair and cast it away; raise a lamentation on the bare heights, for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.'
30 "For the sons of Judah have done evil in my sight, says the LORD; they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
31 And they have built the high place of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.
32 Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when it will no more be called Topheth, or the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of Slaughter: for they will bury in Topheth, because there is no room elsewhere.
33 And the dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the air, and for the beasts of the earth; and none will frighten them away.
34 And I will make to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become a waste.
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 .
