Basic HTML Version
only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the L
ORD
.
31
For this city hath been
to me
as
a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this
day; that I should remove it from before my face,
32
Because of all the evil of the children of Israel
and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their
princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33
And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early
and teaching
them,
yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
34
But they set their
abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
35
And they built the high
places of Baal, which
are
in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters
to pass through
the fire
unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind,
that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
36
And now therefore thus saith the L
ORD
, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye
say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and
by the pestilence;
37
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in
mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I
will cause them to dwell safely:
38
And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
39
And I
will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and
of their children after them:
40
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not
turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not
depart from me.
41
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land
assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
42
For thus saith the L
ORD
; Like as I have
brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have
promised them.
43
And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say,
It is
desolate without
man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
44
Men shall buy fields for money, and
subscribe evidences, and seal
them,
and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places
about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of
the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the L
ORD
.
CHAPTER 33
Moreover the word of the L
ORD
came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in
the court of the prison, saying,
2
Thus saith the L
ORD
the maker thereof, the L
ORD
that formed it, to
establish it; the L
ORD
is
his name;
3
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and
mighty things, which thou knowest not.
4
For thus saith the L
ORD
, the God of Israel, concerning
the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down
by the mounts, and by the sword;
5
They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but
it is
fill them with
the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose
wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
6
Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will
