< Jeremiah 7 >

1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
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.
"Stand in the gate of YHWH's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, 'Hear the word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship YHWH.
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 says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, 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.
Do not trust in lying words, saying, "YHWH's temple, YHWH's temple, YHWH's temple, are these."
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 you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
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.
if you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own 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 that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forevermore.
8 Here! you [are] relying for yourselves on words of deception to not to profit.
Look, you trust in lying words, that can't profit.
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.
Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,
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.
and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, "We are delivered"; that you may do 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 this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Look, I, even I, have seen it, says YHWH.
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.
But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for 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.
Now, because you have done all these works, says YHWH, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear; and I called you, but you did not answer:
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 will do to the house which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
15 And I will cast out you from on face my just as I cast out all relatives your all [the] offspring of Ephraim.
I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants 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 do not pray for this people, neither lift up a cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me; for I will not hear you.
17 ¿ [are] not You seeing what? [are] they doing in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem.
Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah 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.
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may 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?" says YHWH. "Do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?"
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 says YHWH: "Look, my anger and my wrath shall be poured out on this place, on man, and on animal, and on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall 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 says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: "Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat meat.
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 did not speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
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 this thing I commanded them, saying, 'Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I 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 did not listen nor turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness 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.
Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending 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.
yet they did not listen to me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did worse 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.
"You shall speak all these words to them; but they will not listen to you: you shall also call to them; but they will not answer you.
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.
You shall tell them, 'This is the nation that has not listened to the voice of YHWH their God, nor received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off 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 your hair, and throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for YHWH has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.'"
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 people of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight," says YHWH: "they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, 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.
They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.
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 look, the days come," says YHWH, "that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The Valley of Ben Hinnom, but The Valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth, until there is no place to bury.
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.
The dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth; and none shall frighten 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.
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 become a waste."
