the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell
among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I
will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught
rebellion against the LORD.
24:030:001 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
24:030:002 Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all
the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
24:030:003 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring
again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the
LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave
to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
24:030:004 And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel
and concerning Judah.
24:030:005 For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling,
of fear, and not of peace.
24:030:006 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child?
wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a
woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
24:030:007 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is
even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of
it.
24:030:008 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of
hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will
burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves
of him:
24:030:009 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king,
whom I will raise up unto them.
24:030:010 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD;
neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from
afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob
shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none
shall make him afraid.
24:030:011 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I
make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee,
yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct
thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether
unpunished.
24:030:012 For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy
wound is grievous.
24:030:013 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound
up: thou hast no healing medicines.
24:030:014 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I
have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the
chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine
iniquity; because thy sins were increased.
24:030:015 Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable
for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were
increased, I have done these things unto thee.
24:030:016 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all
thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity;
and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey
upon thee will I give for a prey.
24:030:017 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of
thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an
Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
24:030:018 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity
of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and
the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace
shall remain after the manner thereof.
24:030:019 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of
them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall
not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be
small.
24:030:020 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their
congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish
all that oppress them.
24:030:021 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor
shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to
draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that
engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.
24:030:022 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
24:030:023 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a
continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of
the wicked.
24:030:024 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath
done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart:
in the latter days ye shall consider it.
24:031:001 At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the
families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
24:031:002 Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword
found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to
cause him to rest.
24:031:003 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have
loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with
lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
24:031:004 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of
Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and
shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
24:031:005 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the
planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.
24:031:006 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount
Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the
LORD our God.
24:031:007 For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and
shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye,
and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
24:031:008 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather
them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and
the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with
child together: a great company shall return thither.
24:031:009 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I
lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters
in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a
father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
24:031:010 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the
isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather
him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
24:031:011 For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the
hand of him that was stronger than he.
24:031:012 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and
shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat,
and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and
of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and
they shall not sorrow any more at all.
24:031:013 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and
old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and
will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
24:031:014 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and
my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.
24:031:015 Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation,
and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to
be comforted for her children, because they were not.
24:031:016 Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine
eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the
LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
24:031:017 And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy
children shall come again to their own border.
24:031:018 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast
chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed
to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art
the LORD my God.
24:031:019 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I
was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea,
even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
24:031:020 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I
spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still:
therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have
mercy upon him, saith the LORD.
24:031:021 Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart
toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn
again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
24:031:022 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for
the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall
compass a man.
24:031:023 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they
shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities
thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD
bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
24:031:024 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities
thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with
flocks.
24:031:025 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished
every sorrowful soul.
24:031:026 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto
me.
24:031:027 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the
house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man,
and with the seed of beast.
24:031:028 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over
them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and
to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to
build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
24:031:029 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a
sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
24:031:030 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that
eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
24:031:031 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of
Judah:
24:031:032 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers
in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of
the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I
was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
24:031:033 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house
of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law
in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will
be their God, and they shall be my people.
24:031:034 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and
every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall
all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them,
saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will
remember their sin no more.
24:031:035 Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day,
and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by
night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The
LORD of hosts is his name:
24:031:036 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD,
then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation
before me for ever.
24:031:037 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the
foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also
cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done,
saith the LORD.
24:031:038 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be
built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of
the corner.
24:031:039 And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon
the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
24:031:040 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and
all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of
the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD;
it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
24:032:001 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year
of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of
Nebuchadrezzar.
24:032:002 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and
Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison,
which was in the king of Judah's house.
24:032:003 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore
dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I
will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and
he shall take it;
24:032:004 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of
the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of
the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth,
and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
24:032:005 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be
until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the
Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.
24:032:006 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24:032:007 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come
unto thee saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for
the right of redemption is thine to buy it.
24:032:008 So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the
prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me,
Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in
the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is
thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I
knew that this was the word of the LORD.
24:032:009 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in
Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of
silver.
24:032:010 And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took
witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
24:032:011 So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was
sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was
open:
24:032:012 And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of
Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine
uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that
subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that
sat in the court of the prison.
24:032:013 And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
24:032:014 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these
evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is
sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an
earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
24:032:015 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses
and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this
land.
24:032:016 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto
Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,
24:032:017 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth
by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing
too hard for thee:
24:032:018 Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest
the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children
after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is
his name,
24:032:019 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open
upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one
according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his
doings:
24:032:020 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even
unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast
made thee a name, as at this day;
24:032:021 And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of
Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand,
and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;
24:032:022 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their
fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
24:032:023 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy
voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of
all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast
caused all this evil to come upon them:
24:032:024 Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and
the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight
against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of
the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass;
and, behold, thou seest it.
24:032:025 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for
money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand
of the Chaldeans.
24:032:026 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
24:032:027 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any
thing too hard for me?
24:032:028 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city
into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
24:032:029 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come
and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon
whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured
out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.
24:032:030 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only
done evil before me from their youth: for the children of
Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their
hands, saith the LORD.
24:032:031 For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger
and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this
day; that I should remove it from before my face,
24:032:032 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the
children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to
anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and
their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem.
24:032:033 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face:
though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet
they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
24:032:034 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called
by my name, to defile it.
24:032:035 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the
valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their
daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I
commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they
should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
24:032:036 And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel,
concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered
into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the
famine, and by the pestilence;
24:032:037 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I
have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great
wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will
cause them to dwell safely:
24:032:038 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
24:032:039 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may
fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children
after them:
24:032:040 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will
not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my
fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
24:032:041 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will
plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with
my whole soul.
24:032:042 For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great
evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good
that I have promised them.
24:032:043 And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is
desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of
the Chaldeans.
24:032:044 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and
seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in
the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in
the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley,
and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their
captivity to return, saith the LORD.
24:033:001 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second
time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison,
saying,
24:033:002 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed
it, to establish it; the LORD is his name;
24:033:003 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and
mighty things, which thou knowest not.
24:033:004 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the
houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of
Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;
24:033:005 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them
with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger
and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my
face from this city.
24:033:006 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them,
and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
24:033:007 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of
Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
24:033:008 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they
have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their
iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have
transgressed against me.
24:033:009 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour
before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the
good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for
all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure
unto it.
24:033:010 Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place,
which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast,
even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem,
that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and
without beast,
24:033:011 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the
bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that
shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for
his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the
sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will
cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first,
saith the LORD.
24:033:012 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is
desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities
thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their
flocks to lie down.
24:033:013 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and
in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and
in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah,
shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that
telleth them, saith the LORD.
24:033:014 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform
that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel
and to the house of Judah.
24:033:015 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of
righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute
judgment and righteousness in the land.
24:033:016 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell
safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called,
The LORD our righteousness.
24:033:017 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit
upon the throne of the house of Israel;
24:033:018 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to
offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do
sacrifice continually.
24:033:019 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
24:033:020 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day,
and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day
and night in their season;
24:033:021 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant,
that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and
with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
24:033:022 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of
the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my
servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
24:033:023 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
24:033:024 Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The
two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast
them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should
be no more a nation before them.
24:033:025 Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night,
and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and
earth;
24:033:026 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant,
so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the
seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their
captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
24:034:001 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the
kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people,
fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof,
saying,
24:034:002 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to
Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD;
Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of
Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
