of the L
ORD
shall be known toward his servants, and
his
indignation toward his enemies.
15
For,
behold, the L
ORD
will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger
with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16
For by fire and by his sword will the L
ORD
plead
with all flesh: and the slain of the L
ORD
shall be many.
17
They that sanctify themselves, and purify
themselves in the gardens behind one
tree
in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination,
and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the L
ORD
.
18
For I
know
their works and their
thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my
glory.
19
And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations,
to
Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow,
to
Tubal, and Javan,
to
the isles afar off, that have
not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
20
And they shall bring all your brethren
for
an offering unto the L
ORD
out of all nations upon horses,
and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem,
saith the L
ORD
, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the
L
ORD
.
21
And I will also take of them for priests
and
for Levites, saith the L
ORD
.
22
For as the new
heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the L
ORD
, so shall your
seed and your name remain.
23
And it shall come to pass,
that
from one new moon to another, and
from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the L
ORD
.
24
And they
shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their
worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all
flesh.
The Book of the Prophet
Jeremiah
CHAPTER 1
The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that
were
in Anathoth in the land of
Benjamin:
2
To whom the word of the L
ORD
came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of
Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3
It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah
king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto
the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
4
Then the word of the L
ORD
came unto
me, saying,
5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the
womb I sanctified thee,
and
I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
6
Then said I, Ah, Lord
GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I
am
a child.
7
But the L
ORD
said unto me, Say not, I
am
a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee,
and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8
Be not afraid of their faces: for I
am
with thee
