Jeremiah

Chapter 18

1 The word1697 which834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 saying,559

2 Arise,6965 and go down3381 to the potter's3335 house,1004 and there8033 I will cause thee to hear8085 853 my words.1697

3 Then I went down3381 to the potter's3335 house,1004 and, behold,2009 he wrought6213 a work4399 on5921 the wheels.70

4 And the vessel3627 that834 he1931 made6213 of clay2563 was marred7843 in the hand3027 of the potter:3335 so he made6213 it again7725 another312 vessel,3627 as834 seemed5869 good3474 to the potter3335 to make6213 it.

5 Then the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to413 me, saying,559

6 O house1004 of Israel,3478 cannot3808 3201 I do6213 with you as this2088 potter?3335 saith5002 the LORD.3068 Behold,2009 as the clay2563 is in the potter's3335 hand,3027 so3651 are ye859 in mine hand,3027 O house1004 of Israel.3478

7 At what instant7281 I shall speak1696 concerning5921 a nation,1471 and concerning5921 a kingdom,4467 to pluck up,5428 and to pull down,5422 and to destroy6 it;

8 If that1931 nation,1471 against5921 whom834 I have pronounced,1696 turn7725 from their evil,4480 7451 I will repent5162 of5921 the evil7451 that834 I thought2803 to do6213 unto them.

9 And at what instant7281 I shall speak1696 concerning5921 a nation,1471 and concerning5921 a kingdom,4467 to build1129 and to plant5193 it;

10 If it do6213 evil7451 in my sight,5869 that it obey8085 not1115 my voice,6963 then I will repent5162 of5921 the good,2896 wherewith834 I said559 I would benefit3190 them.

11 Now6258 therefore go4994 to, speak559 to413 the men376 of Judah,3063 and to5921 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I595 frame3335 evil7451 against5921 you, and devise2803 a device4284 against5921 you: return7725 ye now4994 every one376 from his evil7451 way,4480 1870 and make your ways1870 and your doings4611 good.3190

12 And they said,559 There is no hope:2976 but3588 we will walk1980 after310 our own devices,4284 and we will every one376 do6213 the imagination8307 of his evil7451 heart.3820

13 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Ask7592 ye now4994 among the heathen,1471 who4310 hath heard8085 such428 things: the virgin1330 of Israel3478 hath done6213 a very3966 horrible thing.8186

14 Will a man leave5800 the snow7950 of Lebanon3844 which cometh from the rock4480 6697 of the field?7704 or shall the cold7119 flowing5140 waters4325 that come from another place2114 be forsaken?5428

15 Because3588 my people5971 hath forgotten7911 me, they have burned incense6999 to vanity,7723 and they have caused them to stumble3782 in their ways1870 from the ancient5769 paths,7635 to walk1980 in paths,5410 in a way1870 not3808 cast up;5549

16 To make7760 their land776 desolate,8047 and a perpetual5769 hissing;8292 every one3605 that passeth5674 thereby5921 shall be astonished,8074 and wag5110 his head.7218

17 I will scatter6327 them as with an east6921 wind7307 before6440 the enemy;341 I will show7200 them the back,6203 and not3808 the face,6440 in the day3117 of their calamity.343

18 Then said559 they, Come,1980 and let us devise2803 devices4284 against5921 Jeremiah;3414 for3588 the law8451 shall not3808 perish6 from the priest,4480 3548 nor counsel6098 from the wise,4480 2450 nor the word1697 from the prophet.4480 5030 Come,1980 and let us smite5221 him with the tongue,3956 and let us not408 give heed7181 to413 any3605 of his words.1697

19 Give heed7181 to413 me, O LORD,3068 and hearken8085 to the voice6963 of them that contend3401 with me.

20 Shall evil7451 be recompensed7999 for8478 good?2896 for3588 they have digged3738 a pit7745 for my soul.5315 Remember2142 that I stood5975 before6440 thee to speak1696 good2896 for5921 them, and to turn away7725 853 thy wrath2534 from4480 them.

21 Therefore3651 deliver up5414 853 their children1121 to the famine,7458 and pour out5064 their blood by5921 the force3027 of the sword;2719 and let their wives802 be1961 bereaved of their children,7909 and be widows;490 and let their men376 be1961 put2026 to death;4194 let their young men970 be slain5221 by the sword2719 in battle.4421

22 Let a cry2201 be heard8085 from their houses,4480 1004 when3588 thou shalt bring935 a troop1416 suddenly6597 upon5921 them: for3588 they have digged3738 a pit7745 to take3920 me, and hid2934 snares6341 for my feet.7272

23 Yet, LORD,3068 thou859 knowest3045 853 all3605 their counsel6098 against5921 me to slay4194 me: forgive3722 not408 their iniquity,5771 neither408 blot out4229 their sin2403 from thy sight,4480 6440 but let them be1961 overthrown3782 before6440 thee; deal6213 thus with them in the time6256 of thine anger.639

Jeremiah

Chapter 18

1 THE word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying.

2 Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear my words.

3 Then I went down to the potter's house, according to the word of the LORD, and, behold, he was doing work on the wheel.

4 And the vessel which he was making of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he mixed the clay and made it into another vessel, as seemed good to him.

5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? says the LORD, Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

7 If suddenly I should speak concerning a people and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy it;

8 And if that nation repent from its evil, I will turn away from it the evil which I thought to do to it.

9 And if at another instant I should speak concerning a people and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

10 And if it does evil in my sight and does not obey my voice, then I will turn away from it the good which I said I would do to it.

11 Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the LORD: Behold, I am bringing evil against you and I am devising a device against you; repent you now, and return every one from his evil way and make your ways and your doings good.

12 But they said, We shall become strong and we will walk after our own devices and we will every man do the imagination of his evil heart.

13 Therefore thus says the LORD: Ask among the Gentiles, Who has done such things as these? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.

14 Does the green grass vanish from the mountain or the snow leave Lebanon? Does the cold water that gushes out and runs down cease from flowing?

15 Yet my people have forsaken me and have burned incense to vanity and have stumbled in their ways, and have departed from the ancient paths to walk in a way which was not trodden.

16 They have made their land desolate and a perpetual hissing; every one who passes through it shall be astonished and shake his head.

17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them my back and not my face, in the day of their calamity.

18 Then they said, Come and let us devise plots against Jeremiah; so that the law shall not perish from the priests nor counsel from the wise nor the word from the prophets. Come and let us smite him in his tongue, and let us not listen to any of his words.

19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the cry of my oppression.

20 Evil has been recompensed for good, for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee and spoke good for them to turn away thy wrath from them.

21 Therefore give their children to famine and deliver them to the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and become widows; and let their men be put to death and their young men be slain by the sword in battle.

22 Let wailing be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a band of raiders suddenly upon them; for they have digged a pit to take me and hid snares for my feet.

23 Yet, O LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me; forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sins from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.

Chapter 18

1 The word1697 which834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 saying,559

1 THE word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying.

2 Arise,6965 and go down3381 to the potter's3335 house,1004 and there8033 I will cause thee to hear8085 853 my words.1697

2 Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear my words.

3 Then I went down3381 to the potter's3335 house,1004 and, behold,2009 he wrought6213 a work4399 on5921 the wheels.70

3 Then I went down to the potter's house, according to the word of the LORD, and, behold, he was doing work on the wheel.

4 And the vessel3627 that834 he1931 made6213 of clay2563 was marred7843 in the hand3027 of the potter:3335 so he made6213 it again7725 another312 vessel,3627 as834 seemed5869 good3474 to the potter3335 to make6213 it.

4 And the vessel which he was making of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he mixed the clay and made it into another vessel, as seemed good to him.

5 Then the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to413 me, saying,559

5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

6 O house1004 of Israel,3478 cannot3808 3201 I do6213 with you as this2088 potter?3335 saith5002 the LORD.3068 Behold,2009 as the clay2563 is in the potter's3335 hand,3027 so3651 are ye859 in mine hand,3027 O house1004 of Israel.3478

6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? says the LORD, Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

7 At what instant7281 I shall speak1696 concerning5921 a nation,1471 and concerning5921 a kingdom,4467 to pluck up,5428 and to pull down,5422 and to destroy6 it;

7 If suddenly I should speak concerning a people and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy it;

8 If that1931 nation,1471 against5921 whom834 I have pronounced,1696 turn7725 from their evil,4480 7451 I will repent5162 of5921 the evil7451 that834 I thought2803 to do6213 unto them.

8 And if that nation repent from its evil, I will turn away from it the evil which I thought to do to it.

9 And at what instant7281 I shall speak1696 concerning5921 a nation,1471 and concerning5921 a kingdom,4467 to build1129 and to plant5193 it;

9 And if at another instant I should speak concerning a people and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

10 If it do6213 evil7451 in my sight,5869 that it obey8085 not1115 my voice,6963 then I will repent5162 of5921 the good,2896 wherewith834 I said559 I would benefit3190 them.

10 And if it does evil in my sight and does not obey my voice, then I will turn away from it the good which I said I would do to it.

11 Now6258 therefore go4994 to, speak559 to413 the men376 of Judah,3063 and to5921 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I595 frame3335 evil7451 against5921 you, and devise2803 a device4284 against5921 you: return7725 ye now4994 every one376 from his evil7451 way,4480 1870 and make your ways1870 and your doings4611 good.3190

11 Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the LORD: Behold, I am bringing evil against you and I am devising a device against you; repent you now, and return every one from his evil way and make your ways and your doings good.

12 And they said,559 There is no hope:2976 but3588 we will walk1980 after310 our own devices,4284 and we will every one376 do6213 the imagination8307 of his evil7451 heart.3820

12 But they said, We shall become strong and we will walk after our own devices and we will every man do the imagination of his evil heart.

13 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Ask7592 ye now4994 among the heathen,1471 who4310 hath heard8085 such428 things: the virgin1330 of Israel3478 hath done6213 a very3966 horrible thing.8186

13 Therefore thus says the LORD: Ask among the Gentiles, Who has done such things as these? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.

14 Will a man leave5800 the snow7950 of Lebanon3844 which cometh from the rock4480 6697 of the field?7704 or shall the cold7119 flowing5140 waters4325 that come from another place2114 be forsaken?5428

14 Does the green grass vanish from the mountain or the snow leave Lebanon? Does the cold water that gushes out and runs down cease from flowing?

15 Because3588 my people5971 hath forgotten7911 me, they have burned incense6999 to vanity,7723 and they have caused them to stumble3782 in their ways1870 from the ancient5769 paths,7635 to walk1980 in paths,5410 in a way1870 not3808 cast up;5549

15 Yet my people have forsaken me and have burned incense to vanity and have stumbled in their ways, and have departed from the ancient paths to walk in a way which was not trodden.

16 To make7760 their land776 desolate,8047 and a perpetual5769 hissing;8292 every one3605 that passeth5674 thereby5921 shall be astonished,8074 and wag5110 his head.7218

16 They have made their land desolate and a perpetual hissing; every one who passes through it shall be astonished and shake his head.

17 I will scatter6327 them as with an east6921 wind7307 before6440 the enemy;341 I will show7200 them the back,6203 and not3808 the face,6440 in the day3117 of their calamity.343

17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them my back and not my face, in the day of their calamity.

18 Then said559 they, Come,1980 and let us devise2803 devices4284 against5921 Jeremiah;3414 for3588 the law8451 shall not3808 perish6 from the priest,4480 3548 nor counsel6098 from the wise,4480 2450 nor the word1697 from the prophet.4480 5030 Come,1980 and let us smite5221 him with the tongue,3956 and let us not408 give heed7181 to413 any3605 of his words.1697

18 Then they said, Come and let us devise plots against Jeremiah; so that the law shall not perish from the priests nor counsel from the wise nor the word from the prophets. Come and let us smite him in his tongue, and let us not listen to any of his words.

19 Give heed7181 to413 me, O LORD,3068 and hearken8085 to the voice6963 of them that contend3401 with me.

19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the cry of my oppression.

20 Shall evil7451 be recompensed7999 for8478 good?2896 for3588 they have digged3738 a pit7745 for my soul.5315 Remember2142 that I stood5975 before6440 thee to speak1696 good2896 for5921 them, and to turn away7725 853 thy wrath2534 from4480 them.

20 Evil has been recompensed for good, for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee and spoke good for them to turn away thy wrath from them.

21 Therefore3651 deliver up5414 853 their children1121 to the famine,7458 and pour out5064 their blood by5921 the force3027 of the sword;2719 and let their wives802 be1961 bereaved of their children,7909 and be widows;490 and let their men376 be1961 put2026 to death;4194 let their young men970 be slain5221 by the sword2719 in battle.4421

21 Therefore give their children to famine and deliver them to the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and become widows; and let their men be put to death and their young men be slain by the sword in battle.

22 Let a cry2201 be heard8085 from their houses,4480 1004 when3588 thou shalt bring935 a troop1416 suddenly6597 upon5921 them: for3588 they have digged3738 a pit7745 to take3920 me, and hid2934 snares6341 for my feet.7272

22 Let wailing be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a band of raiders suddenly upon them; for they have digged a pit to take me and hid snares for my feet.

23 Yet, LORD,3068 thou859 knowest3045 853 all3605 their counsel6098 against5921 me to slay4194 me: forgive3722 not408 their iniquity,5771 neither408 blot out4229 their sin2403 from thy sight,4480 6440 but let them be1961 overthrown3782 before6440 thee; deal6213 thus with them in the time6256 of thine anger.639

23 Yet, O LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me; forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sins from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.
