Book 24 : JEREMIAH - Chapter 007

007:001

Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD

007:002

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place

007:003

Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these

007:004

For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour

007:005

If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt

007:006

Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever

007:007

Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit

007:008

Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not

007:009

And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations

007:010

Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD

007:011

But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel

007:012

And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not

007:013

Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh

007:014

And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim

007:015

Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee

007:016

Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem

007:017

The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger

007:018

Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces

007:019

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched

007:020

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh

007:021

For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices

007:022

But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you

007:023

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward

007:024

Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them

007:025

Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers

007:026

Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee

007:027

But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth

007:028

Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath

007:029

For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it

007:030

And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart

007:031

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place

007:032

And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away

007:033

Then will I cause 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 be desolate
