Jeremiah 17 (kjv)

17

The sinH2403 of JudahH3063 is writtenH3789 with a penH5842 of ironH1270, and with the pointH6856 of a diamondH8068: it is gravenH2790 upon the tableH3871 of their heartH3820, and upon the hornsH7161 of your altarsH4196;2Whilst their childrenH1121 rememberH2142 their altarsH4196 and their grovesH842 by the greenH7488 treesH6086 upon the highH1364 hillsH1389.3O my mountainH2042 in the fieldH7704, I will giveH5414 thy substanceH2428 and all thy treasuresH214 to the spoilH957, and thy high placesH1116 for sinH2403, throughout all thy bordersH1366.4And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinueH8058 from thine heritageH5159 that I gaveH5414 thee; and I will cause thee to serveH5647 thine enemiesH341 in the landH776 which thou knowestH3045 not: for ye have kindledH6919 a fireH784 in mine angerH639, which shall burnH3344 forH5704 everH5769.

5Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; CursedH779 be the manH1397 that trustethH982 in manH120, and makethH7760 fleshH1320 his armH2220, and whose heartH3820 departethH5493 from the LORDH3068.6For he shall be like the heathH6199 in the desertH6160, and shall not seeH7200 when goodH2896 comethH935; but shall inhabitH7931 the parched placesH2788 in the wildernessH4057, in a saltH4420 landH776 and not inhabitedH3427.

7BlessedH1288 is the manH1397 that trustethH982 in the LORDH3068, and whose hopeH4009 the LORDH3068 is.8For he shall be as a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the watersH4325, and that spreadeth outH7971 her rootsH8328 by the riverH3105, and shall not seeH7200 when heatH2527 comethH935, but her leafH5929 shall be greenH7488; and shall not be carefulH1672 in the yearH8141 of droughtH1226, neither shall ceaseH4185 from yieldingH6213 fruitH6529.

9The heartH3820 is deceitfulH6121 above all things, and desperately wickedH605: who can knowH3045 it?10I the LORDH3068 searchH2713 the heartH3820, I tryH974 the reinsH3629, even to giveH5414 every manH376 according to his waysH1870, and according to the fruitH6529 of his doingsH4611.11As the partridgeH7124 sittethH1716 on eggs, and hatchethH3205 them not; so he that gettethH6213 richesH6239, and not by rightH4941, shall leaveH5800 them in the midstH2677 of his daysH3117, and at his endH319 shall be a foolH5036.

12A gloriousH3519 highH4791 throneH3678 from the beginningH7223 is the placeH4725 of our sanctuaryH4720.13O LORDH3068, the hopeH4723 of IsraelH3478, all that forsakeH5800 thee shall be ashamedH954, and they that departH3249 from meH5493 shall be writtenH3789 in the earthH776, because they have forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068, the fountainH4726 of livingH2416 watersH4325.14HealH7495 me, O LORDH3068, and I shall be healedH7495; saveH3467 me, and I shall be savedH3467: for thou art my praiseH8416.

15Behold, they sayH559 unto me, Where is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068? let it comeH935 now.16As for me, I have not hastenedH213 from being a pastorH7462 to followH310 thee: neither have I desiredH183 the woefulH605 dayH3117; thou knowestH3045: that which came outH4161 of my lipsH8193 was right beforeH5227 theeH6440.17Be not a terrorH4288 unto me: thou art my hopeH4268 in the dayH3117 of evilH7451.18Let them be confoundedH954 that persecuteH7291 me, but let not me be confoundedH954: let them be dismayedH2865, but let not me be dismayedH2865: bringH935 upon them the dayH3117 of evilH7451, and destroyH7665 them with doubleH4932 destructionH7670.

19Thus saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me; GoH1980 and standH5975 in the gateH8179 of the childrenH1121 of the peopleH5971, whereby the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 come inH935, and by the which they go outH3318, and in all the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389;20And sayH559 unto them, HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and all JudahH3063, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, that enter inH935 by these gatesH8179:21Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Take heedH8104 to yourselvesH5315, and bearH5375 no burdenH4853 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, nor bringH935 it in by the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389;22Neither carry forthH3318 a burdenH4853 out of your housesH1004 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, neither doH6213 ye any workH4399, but hallowH6942 ye the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, as I commandedH6680 your fathersH1.23But they obeyedH8085 not, neither inclinedH5186 their earH241, but made their neckH6203 stiffH7185, that they might not hearH8085, nor receiveH3947 instructionH4148.24And it shall come to pass, if ye diligentlyH8085 hearkenH8085 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to bringH935 in no burdenH4853 through the gatesH8179 of this cityH5892 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, but hallowH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, to doH6213 noH1115 workH4399 therein;25Then shall there enterH935 into the gatesH8179 of this cityH5892 kingsH4428 and princesH8269 sittingH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, ridingH7392 in chariotsH7393 and on horsesH5483, they, and their princesH8269, the menH376 of JudahH3063, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389: and this cityH5892 shall remainH3427 for everH5769.26And they shall comeH935 from the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and from the places aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and from the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and from the plainH8219, and from the mountainsH2022, and from the southH5045, bringingH935 burnt offeringsH5930, and sacrificesH2077, and meat offeringsH4503, and incenseH3828, and bringingH935 sacrifices of praiseH8426, unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.27But if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto me to hallowH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and not to bearH5375 a burdenH4853, even entering inH935 at the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117; then will I kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the gatesH8179 thereof, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of JerusalemH3389, and it shall not be quenchedH3518.
