Jeremiah 17:7
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
The sin of
Judah
is
written with a pen of iron,
and
with the point of a diamond:
it is
graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
2
Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
3
O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance
and
all thy treasures to the spoil,
and
thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.
4
And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger,
which
shall burn for ever.
5
Thus saith the
L
ORD
; Cursed
be
the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the
L
ORD
.
6
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
in
a salt land and not inhabited.
Blessed
is
the man that trusteth in the
L
ORD
, and whose hope the
L
ORD
is.
8
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and
that
spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9
The heart
is
deceitful above all
things
, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10
I the
L
ORD
search the heart,
I
try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways,
and
according to the fruit of his doings.
11
As
the partridge sitteth
on eggs
, and hatcheth
them
not;
so
he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
12
A glorious high throne from the beginning
is
the place of our sanctuary.
13
O
L
ORD
, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed,
and
they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the
L
ORD
, the fountain of living waters.
14
Heal me, O
L
ORD
, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou
art
my praise.
15
Behold, they say unto me, Where
is
the word of the
L
ORD
? let it come now.
16
As for me, I have not hastened from
being
a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was
right
before thee.
17
Be not a terror unto me: thou
art
my hope in the day of evil.
18
Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19
Thus said the
L
ORD
unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
20
And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the
L
ORD
, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
21
Thus saith the
L
ORD
; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring
it
in by the gates of Jerusalem;
22
Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23
But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
24
And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the
L
ORD
, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
25
Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
26
And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the
L
ORD
.
27
But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
