Jeremiah 15

1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Even if Moses or Samuel were standing in front of me, I would still not be in favor of this people. Send them out from before me, for them to go away.

And he said Yahweh to me if he will stand Moses and Samuel before me not soul my [will be] to the people this send [them] away from on face my so they may go out.

2 It will happen that they will say to you, 'Where should we go?' Then you must say to them, 'Yahweh says this: Those who are for death should go to death; those who are for the sword should go to the sword. Those who are for famine should go to famine; and those who are for captivity should go to captivity.'

And it will be that they will say to you where? will we go out and you will say to them thus he says Yahweh [those] who [are] for death to death and [those] who [are] for the sword to the sword and [those] who [are] for the famine to the famine and [those] who [are] for captivity to captivity.

3 For I will assign them to four groups—this is Yahweh's declaration—the sword to slaughter some, the dogs to drag some away, the birds of the skies and the beast of the earth to consume and destroy some.

And I will appoint over them four kinds [the] utterance of Yahweh the sword to kill and the dogs to drag away and [the] bird[s] of the heavens and [the] animal[s] of the earth to devour and to destroy.

4 I will make of them a horrifying thing to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem.

And I will make them (into a terror *Q(K)*) for all [the] kingdoms of the earth on account of Manasseh [the] son of Hezekiah [the] king of Judah on [that] which he did in Jerusalem.

5 For who will have compassion for you, Jerusalem? Who will grieve for you?

For who? will he have compassion on you O Jerusalem and who? will he show sympathy to you and who? will he turn aside to ask to welfare of you.

6 You have forsaken me—this is Yahweh's declaration—you have gone back from me. So I will strike you with my hand and destroy you. I am tired of having mercy on you.

You you abandoned me [the] utterance of Yahweh backwards you go and I have stretched out hand my on you and I have destroyed you I had wearied myself to relent.

7 So I will winnow them with a pitchfork at the gates of the land. I will bereave them. I will destroy my people since they will not turn from their ways.

And I have winnowed them with a winnowing scoop in [the] gates of the land I have made childless I have destroyed people my from ways their not they have turned away.

8 I will make their widows number more than the sands of the seashore. Against the mothers of young men I will send the destroyer at noonday. I will make shock and horror suddenly fall on them.

They are numerous to me (widows its *Q(K)*) more than [the] sand of [the] seas I have brought to them on a mother of a young man a destroyer at noon I have made fall on her suddenly anguish and sudden terror.

9 The mother who has borne seven children will waste away. She will gasp. Her sun will set while it is still day. She will be ashamed and embarrassed, for I will give those who remain to the sword in the presence of their enemies —this is Yahweh's declaration.”

She has grown feeble [one who] bore seven [children] it has panted breath her (it went *Q(K)*) sun her while still by day she is ashamed and she is abashed and remnant their to the sword I will give before enemies their [the] utterance of Yahweh.

10 Woe to me, my mother! For you have borne me, I who am a man of controversy and argument through all the land. I have not lent, nor has anyone lent to me, but they all curse me.

Woe! to me O mother my that you gave birth to me a man of strife and a man of contention to all the land not I have lent and not people have lent to me all of him [are] cursing me.

11 Yahweh said: “Will I not rescue you for good? I will certainly make your enemies beg for help in the time of calamity and distress.

He said Yahweh if not (I will set free you *Q(K)*) for good if not - I will cause to plead with you in a time evil and in a time of distress the enemy.

12 Can one smash iron? Especially iron from the north that is mixed with bronze?

¿ Will it break iron - iron from [the] north and bronze.

13 I will give to your enemies your wealth and treasures as free plunder. I will do this because of all your sins committed within all your borders.

Wealth your and treasures your to plunder I will give not for price and on all sins your and in all territories your.

14 Then I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for a fire will ignite, kindled in my wrath against you.”

And I will make to pass enemies your in a land [which] not you have known for a fire it has been kindled in anger my towards you it will burn.

15 Yahweh, you know! Remember me and help me. Bring vengeance for me against those who persecute me. You are patient, but do not allow them to take me away; know that I suffer reproach for your sake.

You you know O Yahweh remember me and visit me and avenge yourself for me from [those who] harass me may not to [the] length of anger your you take away me know bearing my on you reproach.

16 Your words have been found, and I consumed them. Your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I bear your name, Yahweh, God of hosts.

They were found words your and I ate them and it became (word your *Q(K)*) to me a joy and [the] delight of heart my for it is called name your on me O Yahweh [the] God of hosts.

17 I did not sit in the circle of those who celebrated or rejoiced. I sat in solitude because of your powerful hand, for you filled me with indignation.

Not I sat in [the] assembly of merry makers and I rejoiced because of hand your alone I sat for indignation you filled me.

18 Why is my pain ongoing and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Will you be like deceitful waters to me, waters that dry up?

Why? is it pain my perpetuity and wound my incurable it has refused to be healed certainly you are to me like a deceitful thing waters [which] not they are reliable.

19 Therefore Yahweh said this, “If you repent, Jeremiah, then I will restore you, and you will stand before me and serve me. For if you separate the foolish things from the precious things, you will be like my mouth. The people will come back to you, but you yourself must not go back to them.

Therefore thus he says Yahweh if you will return and I will restore you before me you will stand and if you will bring forth [the] precious from [the] worthless like mouth my you will be they will return they to you and you not you must return to them.

20 I will make you like an impenetrable bronze wall to this people, and they will wage war against you. But they will not defeat you, for I am with you to save and rescue you—this is Yahweh's declaration—

And I will make you for the people this into a wall of bronze fortified and people will fight against you and not they will prevail to you for [will be] with you I to save you and to deliver you [the] utterance of Yahweh.

21 for I will rescue you from the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the hand of the tyrant.”

And I will deliver you from [the] hand of wicked [people] and I will ransom you from [the] hand of ruthless [people].
