< Jeremiah 7 >

1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judea.
2 Stand in [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh and you will proclaim there the word this and you will say hear [the] word of Yahweh O all Judah who come in the gates these to bow down to Yahweh.
3 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel make good ways your and deeds your so let me cause to dwell you in the place this.
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Correct your ways and your devices, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 May not you trust for yourselves to words of deception saying [the] temple of Yahweh [the] temple of Yahweh [are] [the] temple of Yahweh they.
Trust not in yourselves with lying words, for they shall not profit you at all, saying, It is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.
5 That except certainly you will make good ways your and deeds your certainly [if] you will do justice between everyone and between neighbor his.
For if ye thoroughly correct your ways and your practices, and do indeed execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6 [the] sojourner [the] fatherless And [the] widow not you must oppress and blood innocent may not you shed in the place this and after gods other not you must walk for harm of you.
and oppress not the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and go not after strange gods to your hurt:
7 And I will cause to dwell you in the place this in the land which I gave to ancestors your from antiquity and until perpetuity.
then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers of old and for ever.
8 Here! you [are] relying for yourselves on words of deception to not to profit.
But whereas ye have trusted in lying words, whereby ye shall not be profited;
9 ¿ Will you steal - will you murder? and will you commit adultery? and will you swear? to falsehood and will you make smoke? to Baal and will you walk? after gods other which not you have known.
and ye murder, and commit adultery, and steal, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and are gone after strange gods whom ye know not,
10 And you will come and you will stand before me in the house this which it is called name my on it and you will say we are delivered so as to do all the abominations these.
so that it is evil with you; yet have ye come, and stood before me in the house, whereon my name is called, and ye have said, We have refrained from doing all these abominations.
11 ¿ A den of robbers has it become the house this which it is called name my on it in view your also I here! I have seen [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Is my house, whereon my name is called, a den of robbers in your eyes? And, behold, I have seen [it], saith the Lord.
12 That go please to place my which [was] in Shiloh where I caused to dwell name my there at the former [time] and see [that] which I did to it because of [the] wickedness of people my Israel.
For go ye to my place with is in Selo, where I caused my name to dwell before, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 And therefore because did you all the deeds these [the] utterance of Yahweh and I spoke to you rising early and speaking and not you listened and I called you and not you answered.
And now, because ye have done all these deeds, and I spoke to you, but ye hearkened not to me; and I called you, but ye answered not;
14 And I will do to the house - which it is called name my on it which you [are] trusting in it and to the place which I gave to you and to ancestors your just as I did to Shiloh.
therefore I also will do to the house whereon my name is called, wherein ye trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Selo.
15 And I will cast out you from on face my just as I cast out all relatives your all [the] offspring of Ephraim.
And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast away your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
16 And you may not you pray - for the people this and may not you lift up for them a cry of entreaty and a prayer and may not you entreat me for not I [will be] hearing you.
Therefore pray not thou for this people, and intercede not for them to be pitied, yea, pray not, and approach me not for them: for I will not hearken [unto thee].
17 ¿ [are] not You seeing what? [are] they doing in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem.
Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 The children [are] gathering wood and the fathers [are] kindling the fire and the women [are] kneading dough to make cakes for [the] queen of the heavens and they are pouring out drink offerings to gods other so as to provoke to anger me.
Their children gather wood, and their fathers kindle a fire, and their women knead dough, to make cakes to the host of heaven; and they have poured out drink-offerings to strange gods, that they might provoke me to anger.
19 ¿ Me [are] they provoking [the] utterance of Yahweh ¿ not themselves for [the] sake of [the] shame of faces their.
Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not [provoke] themselves, that their faces may be ashamed?
20 Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here! anger my and rage my [are] about to be poured out against the place this on humankind and on the animal[s] and on [the] tree[s] of the field and on [the] fruit of the ground and it will burn and not it will be quenched.
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, my anger and wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon every tree of their field, and upon the fruits of the land; and it shall burn, and not be quenched.
21 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel burnt offerings your add to sacrifices your and eat meat.
Thus saith the Lord, Gather your whole-burnt-offerings with your meat-offerings, and eat flesh.
22 For not I spoke with ancestors your and not I commanded them on [the] day (brought out I *Q(K)*) them from [the] land of Egypt on matters of burnt offering and sacrifice.
For I spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifice:
23 That except the matter this I commanded them saying listen to voice my and I will become for you God and you you will become for me a people and you will walk in every way which I will command you so that it may go well for you.
but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear ye my voice, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a people: and walk ye in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with you.
24 And not they listened and not they inclined ear their and they walked in counsels in [the] stubbornness of heart their evil and they were backwards and not forwards.
But they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward;
25 From the day when they came out ancestors your from [the] land of Egypt until the day this and I sent to you all servants my the prophets day rising early and sending.
from the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day. And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, by day and early in the morning: yea, I sent [them],
26 And not they listened to me and not they inclined ear their and they stiffened neck their they did evil more than ancestors their.
but they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.
27 And you will say to them all the words these and not they will listen to you and you will call to them and not they will answer you.
Therefore thou shalt speak this word to them;
28 And you will say to them this [is] the nation which not they listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God its and not they accepted correction it has perished faithfulness and it has been cut off from mouth their.
This is the nation which has not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, nor received correction: truth has failed from their mouth.
29 Cut off hair your and throw [it] away and take up on bare heights a lamentation for he has rejected Yahweh and he has abandoned [the] generation of fury his.
Cut off thine hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on thy lips; for the Lord has reprobated and rejected the generation that does these things.
30 For they have done [the] people of Judah the evil in view my [the] utterance of Yahweh they have put detestable things their in the house which it is called name my on it to make unclean it.
For the children of Juda have wrought evil before me, saith the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called, to defile it.
31 And they have built [the] high places of Topheth which [is] in [the] valley of Ben Hinnom to burn sons their and daughters their in the fire which not I commanded and not it came up on heart my.
And they have built the altar of Tapheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them [to do], neither did I design it in my heart.
32 Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and not it will be said again Topheth and [the] valley of Ben Hinnom that except [the] valley of slaughter and people will bury in Topheth from not room.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Tapheth, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Tapheth, for want of room.
33 And it will become [the] corpse[s] of the people this food for [the] bird[s] of the heavens and for [the] animal[s] of the earth and there not [will be one who] terrifies.
And the dead bodies of this people shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to drive [them] away.
34 And I will cause to cease - from [the] cities of Judah and from [the] streets of Jerusalem [the] sound of joy and [the] sound of gladness [the] sound of a bridegroom and [the] sound of a bride for a desolation it will become the land.
And I will destroy out of the cities of Juda, and the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of them that make merry, and the voice of them that rejoice, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for the whole land shall become a desolation.
