Basic HTML Version
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.
