8 [People are repeatedly] telling you, [‘The temple is here, so we are safe]’, and you are trusting/believing [that what they are saying is true], but it is a lie. [Those people are deceiving you, and what they say is] worthless.

behold you(m. p.) to trust to/for you upon word [the] deception to/for lest to gain

11 Do you realize that you are causing this temple, which is my temple, to become like [MET] a den where bandits hide [RHQ]? Do you not know that I see [all the evil things that you people do there]?

cave violent to be [the] house: home [the] this which to call: call by name my upon him in/on/with eye your also I behold to see: see utterance LORD

12 [Long ago] I put my Sacred Tent at Shiloh [city], to be a place where people would worship me [MTY]. Think about how I [destroyed it] because my people, the Israeli people, did [many] wicked things there.

for to go: went please to(wards) place my which in/on/with Shiloh which to dwell name my there in/on/with first and to see: see [obj] which to make: do to/for him from face: because distress: evil people my Israel

13 And while you were continually doing those wicked things, I told you about it many times, but you refused to listen. I called out to you, but you refused to answer [me].

and now because to make: do you [obj] all [the] deed [the] these utterance LORD and to speak: speak to(wards) you to rise and to speak: speak and not to hear: hear and to call: call to [obj] you and not to answer

14 Therefore, just like I destroyed Shiloh, I will [now] destroy this temple that was built for people to worship me [MTY], this temple that you trust in, that is in this place that I gave to you and your ancestors.

and to make: do to/for house: home which to call: call by name my upon him which you(m. p.) to trust in/on/with him and to/for place which to give: give to/for you and to/for father your like/as as which to make: do to/for Shiloh

and to throw [obj] you from upon face of my like/as as which to throw [obj] all brother: male-relative your [obj] all seed: children Ephraim

16 [Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah], do not pray for these people [any longer]. Do not cry for them or plead for [me to help] them, because I will not pay any attention to you.

nothing you to see: see what? they(masc.) to make: do in/on/with city Judah and in/on/with outside Jerusalem

18 The children gather firewood and their fathers use it to make fires [on the altars to burn sacrifices]. The women knead/make dough to make cakes to offer to [their goddess Astarte who is called] the Queen of Heaven. And [on their altars] they pour out offerings of wine to [their] other idols. All of those things cause me to become extremely angry!

[the] son: child to gather tree: wood and [the] father to burn: burn [obj] [the] fire and [the] woman to knead dough to/for to make bun to/for queen [the] heaven and to pour drink offering to/for God another because to provoke me

[obj] me they(masc.) to provoke utterance LORD not [obj] them because shame face of their

20 So Yahweh the Lord says this: “Because I am extremely angry with [what happens at] this place, I will punish these people severely [MTY]; my being very angry will be [like] [MET] a fire that will not be extinguished, and I will destroy the people, [their] animals, [their] fruit trees, and [their] crops.”

to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God behold face: anger my and rage my to pour to(wards) [the] place [the] this upon [the] man and upon [the] animal and upon tree [the] land: country and upon fruit [the] land: soil and to burn: burn and not to quench

21 Therefore, this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “Take away [IRO] your offerings that you bring to burn completely on your altars and your [other] sacrifices; [don’t give them to me]; eat them [yourselves]!

thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel burnt offering your to add upon sacrifice your and to eat flesh

22 When I led your ancestors out of Egypt, it was not offerings to be completely burned on the altar or [other] sacrifices that I wanted from them.

for not to speak: speak with father your and not to command them in/on/with day (to come out: send I *Q(K)*) [obj] them from land: country/planet Egypt upon word burnt offering and sacrifice

23 What I told them was, ‘Obey me; [if you do that], I will be your God and you will be my people. If you do the things that I want you to do, everything will go well for you.’

that if: except if: except [obj] [the] word [the] this to command [obj] them to/for to say to hear: obey in/on/with voice my and to be to/for you to/for God and you(m. p.) to be to/for me to/for people and to go: walk in/on/with all [the] way: conduct which to command [obj] you because be good to/for you

24 But your ancestors would not pay any attention [DOU] to me. They continued to do [the evil things] that they wanted to do, everything that in their stubborn inner beings they desired to do. Instead of coming closer to me, they went further away from me.

and not to hear: obey and not to stretch [obj] ear their and to go: walk in/on/with counsel in/on/with stubbornness heart their [the] bad: evil and to be to/for back and not to/for face: before

25 From the day that your ancestors left Egypt until now, I have continued to send my prophets to you.

27 [Then Yahweh said to me], “When you tell all this to my people, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.

and to speak: speak to(wards) them [obj] all [the] word [the] these and not to hear: hear to(wards) you and to call: call to to(wards) them and not to answer you

28 Say to them, ‘You people [of Judah] have not obeyed Yahweh, your God; you have not accepted it when he tried to correct you. No one among you is truthful; you do not say anything that is true; [you speak only lies].’

and to say to(wards) them this [the] nation which not to hear: obey in/on/with voice LORD God his and not to take: recieve discipline to perish [the] faithfulness and to cut: eliminate from lip their

29 [So, tell them to] cut off their hair [to show that they are mourning]; tell them to go up into the hills and sing a sad funeral song, because I have completely rejected [DOU] this generation [of people] who have made me angry.”

to shear consecration: hair your and to throw and to lift: raise upon bareness dirge for to reject LORD and to leave [obj] generation fury his

30 Yahweh says this: “The people of Judah have done many things that I say are evil. They have set up their disgusting idols in my temple, causing it to become an unacceptable [place to worship me].

for to make: do son: descendant/people Judah [the] bad: evil in/on/with eye: seeing my utterance LORD to set: make abomination their in/on/with house: home which to call: call by name my upon him to/for to defile him

31 They have built altars at Topheth in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and they sacrifice their sons and daughters on those altars. I never commanded them to do that; I never even thought that anyone would do that.

and to build high place [the] Topheth which in/on/with Valley son: child (Topheth of son of) Hinnom to/for to burn [obj] son: child their and [obj] daughter their in/on/with fire which not to command and not to ascend: rise upon heart my

32 So they should beware! There will be a time when that place will no longer be called Topheth or the Hinnom Valley; instead, it will be called the Valley of Slaughter. There will be a huge number of people who will be buried there, with the result that there will be no space to bury more bodies.

to/for so behold day to come (in): come utterance LORD and not to say still [the] Topheth and Valley son: child (Topheth of son of) Hinnom that if: except if: except Valley [the] (Topheth of) Slaughter and to bury in/on/with Topheth from nothing place

33 The corpses of my people that are [not buried and are] left on the ground will be eaten by vultures and wild animals, and there will be no one to shoo/chase them away.

and to be carcass [the] people [the] this to/for food to/for bird [the] heaven and to/for animal [the] land: country/planet and nothing to tremble

34 There will be no one singing and laughing any more in the streets of Jerusalem; there will be no more joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides in Judah, because the land will be completely destroyed.”

and to cease from city Judah and from outside Jerusalem voice rejoicing and voice joy voice son-in-law and voice daughter-in-law: bride for to/for desolation to be [the] land: country/planet
