the northern iron and the steel?
13
Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without
price, and
that
for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
14
And I will make
thee
to pass with thine
enemies into a land
which
thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger,
which
shall burn
upon you.
15
O L
ORD
, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take
me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
16
Thy words were
found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am
called by thy name, O L
ORD
God of hosts.
17
I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced;
I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.
18
Why is my pain perpetual,
and my wound incurable,
which
refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar,
and as
waters
that
fail?
19
Therefore thus saith the L
ORD
, If thou return, then will I bring thee again,
and
thou shalt stand
before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them
return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
20
And I will make thee unto this people a fenced
brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I
am
with
thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the L
ORD
.
21
And I will deliver thee out of the hand of
the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
CHAPTER 16
The word of the L
ORD
came also unto me, saying,
2
Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt
thou have sons or daughters in this place.
3
For thus saith the L
ORD
concerning the sons and
concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them,
and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;
4
They shall die of grievous deaths; they
shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried;
but
they shall be as dung upon the face of the
earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat
for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
5
For thus saith the L
ORD
, Enter not into the
house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from
this people, saith the L
ORD
,

6
Both the great and the small shall
